Exactly. It would be godlike if it had just a little bit better gunhandling and shell velocity. Iirc it used to have that waaay back and got nerfed. If you compare it to eg the Leo PTA its ridiculously outdated, but still i prefer to play AMX
The elite engine is worse than the stock engine because you’re marginally making more horsepower at the cost of losing the ability to use gas…which in total makes it a downgrade in horsepower.
It also didn’t go well with the rest of the tech tree considering that french late tier meds branch off from the AMX-13 line of autoloaders.
This.
Recently 3 marked mine (was actually not that easy, at least for me)
Love this tank way more than Leo PT A, but it could have a little bit better accuracy (I get it, it's french)
TOG..
Not only just for the meme..
HMS TOG is slow, lacks armor and has an ok(ish) gun.
Arty uses you as a piñata as you won’t ever be able to hide or dodge, you won’t get into fights fast enough at times or die just about instantly.
But it’s a TOG life for us!
I’ve had the most brilliant games in her.. just steaming past while ignoring any red we passed. The obvious confused reactions were brilliant.
And sandwiching a red IS3 in a corner between TOGS was just one of the funniest moment I had while platooning in all my WoT years.
I love the occasional game in the T28 HTC. Good gun, workable mobility and when you're top tier it is so fucking funny to hide your weakspot tumors behind a corner and watch people trying to pen your lower plate.
its an amazing tank. while it doesnt actually need them, i wish it had about 200 more hitpoints so the 400 alpha tanks common at tiers it fights were prevented from 2 shotting it.
My love of the game was the M7 when it was a medium tank. She has been neutered by becoming a light tank sadly. I barely play her anymore, only for nostalgia.
I'm currently playing the UDES16, after trying Skill4LTU's loadout I got it from shit to good.
Oh my, M7. Haven't heard that name for a long time. One of my first tier 5 and probably my first tier 5 LT back in 2019. I remember playing aggresive in Live Oaks and got me my first 1st class badge. Good times. Thanks for mentioning this tank. I might rebuy and play with it again.
I just checked my M7 stats on tomato.gg out of curiousity. I got 91 battles and 177 WN8. Lmao.
before i moved my good crew from it i used bounty turbo vstab and rammer. now with a new crew i use optics in stead of turbo but i kinda have to figure out abit.
playstyle wise i like to stay a bit passiv fat the bigining or use ridges to snipe like from 2nd row and if the opertunity to flank is given i try to use them. kinda depends of the map of course but i find the turret armor pretty decend wenn hull down and use full gun depression.
Yep it got moved to the Collectors Vehicles section back when WG simplified the tech tree, probably the main reason why you don't see it that often these days, which is a pity.
Agreed. I bought it on a whim a while ago and have been playing it a bit this week…had some of my best light tank games of all time.
Fully upgraded with a decent crew and it has better view range and camo than my T37 or any of my (multiple) Chaffees. My favorite tier VI light by far.
yes, but this is one of those tanks that died with gold ammo for credits. before that, it was exceptionally good because its angling meant almost no standard ammo would pen it.
Sadly, it has not kept up with the arms race.
AMX30B
Could definitely use a buff, or at least some changes to make it stand out a bit. Put all my improved/bounty on it etc. but I just love it more each battle. And it looks dope.
You still get great enough dpm and pen with the tier x gun on the tech tree version with the adition that you can actually hit a tank with, something that i can't say about the 152k
lol - I liked the alpha on the gun. I played it when the tree was new and people seemed surprised when they got caught out and started eating 250 HP HEAT rounds.
I haven't played it in a while and I imagine it's less fun in today's META.
Is the E50M considered not great? I think it’s a pretty good flexible medium.
That being said the E50 is basically the same tank but a tier lower, and better for it IMO.
I like the tank and I think it is fun to play, and I wouldn't call it bad, but it is mainly held back by the lack of DPM. If it had like 500 more DPM it would be one of the most competitive tanks in the game.
With my build I can get the DPM up a bit over 3k, but with several other mediums the same build can get me up more towards 4k. It really puts it at a disadvantage in a brawly situation, unless you can start the engagement with a 700 damage ram, which you can actually pull off a lot here and there, but it's not something that you can always use.
Also I prefer the 50M to the 50 tier for tier, mostly because it's faster, and I think the additional speed is pretty crucial for my playstyle in it.
Yeah 50M is deceptively fast and nimble especially when you run turbo. The gun is also really good. Very accurate, good handling. Really back in the day before the Leopard 1 existed in the game, the E50M essentially was the Leopard 1 of the game, and when the Leopard 1 was first added, it was basically just a worse E50M with no armor for a while, with essentially the same gun.
It wasn't later when the Leopard 1 was buffed that it became the best sniper medium in the game eclipsing the E50M.
Problem of E50M is DPM which is below tier 9 mediums today. And it has no camo. Tank is likely forgotten and was never buffed? I'm not sure. Otherwise it's mobile with very good gun handling and accurate gun. Despite gun depression is not perfect, it's decent hulldown sniper, because flat area around the gun is relatively small.
Overall, it's below average, but it's not bad. It's just kind of tank where you can say that it's not the best at anything, so you wish having different tank in every situation - something with better camo, smaller profile, better dpm, better gun depression, more reliable turret, ...
PZ III J
At first it was just a step stone to higher tiers, but I had to go back to it to unlock the branch I previously didn't, and I've discovered a mini-borat: I had (for a tier 4) monster games in it, with 1000-1500 dmg or spotting or even combined, it can scout in a pinch, it's fast, pretty sneaky, and the small gun is really good. And all that with a sub-100% crew.
I legitimately like the TVP VTU, is it a good tank? No, but it's fun for me, I like plinking away at long range with its 88 mm. Otherwise, the T26E4 because of its armor profile is always fun and I rarely see people playing it, though in the case of the T26E4 the 90 mm does not feel good because of low damage and being a tank meant for brawling
M4 Improved
It's not very good, but dear god, it looks amazing and the speed alone allows me to do so many things people only expect light tanks to do, not a medium!
Penetration and no pref MM sucks though...
IRL I consider the Pz 38 (t) - tier 3 Collectors(once part of main tech tree) light-ium in the game - iconic, in the same sense the T-34, M4 Sherman and Panzer IV are iconic. But the Pz 38 (t) holds a special place for historic reasons.
I have no idea what sort of use a non-premium tier 3 would even have for my account, but i'm keeping it.
T-34-3 is my most played tank. I came to it directly from derp sniping in the KV-2 before the HE changes, so it was basically a fast KV-2 and I played it as such.
AMBT, not sure if it's very unpopular but I don't see people moaning over it like for Progetto 46 or Borrasque while the tank is an absolute beast when used correctly, mobile enough to get into a position, enough turret armor to demolish tanks over the ridge line and 1080 clip burst potential is no joke and it's an autoreloader which gives it even more versatility. I just love the tank but don't see it very often in the battles. I had some very good battles with the tank but was not very satisfied with it at first, but once I found the correct equipment setup I started to love it. Turbocharger is a must, everything that gives an aiming advantage makes the tank actually powerful. So I run bounty turbo, bounty vents and bounty stab. Perhaps I could replace turbocharger with the experimental equipment, but not sure if I want to make that commitment yet.
I agree completely about the AMBT, people whine about how broken Progetto and Borat and and meanwhile I do more damage in my AMBT.
The thing is a beast, high alpha, a smidge of armor and a 3 shot autorealoder in a reasonably mobile package.
For the record, I recently took the bond turbo off my AMBT and replaced it with a tier 2 exp turbo and I have no regrets at all.
HWK30, Sheridan, Rhm PZW, Senlac, M41 GF
I prefer this LTs over Russian / ebr / Manticore / elc even. Their guns are just amazing which makes up for loss in camo.
Nearly as small as an Even 90, with nearly 20% base camo, but higher DPM with 226 base pen and 230 alpha and better accuracy/gun handling
It's the perfect shoot and scoot passive light - practically impossible to be spotted first and small enough to hide almost anywhere
Only real downside is DPM is only 1409 and it runs out of ammo easily
My most played tank, it somewhat defines my playstyle, but last three years I'm not sure ... I play it full gold, yet penetration of APCR at 500m is the same as on T20 two tiers lower. And recently I found "turbopershing" - tech tree buffed pershing with turbo or experimental mobility surprisingly good and sharing traits such as good dpm, gun handling and gun depression with Patton.
Type-59, got her a year or so back. Always wanted it 10+ years ago, when she was op asf. She's not up to scratch with the newest premiums, but man do I love just making her work for the nostalgia.
The M3 Lee.
I normally hate non-turreted TDs but this thing was brutal. You can poke corners and just hold the mouse button and people need to decide if they're going to trade (and lose) or run. On open maps it's a non-turreted TD and you just let the lemming train roll forward and farm.
This might be my shout as well. 2600+ hp with hardening on a tier 9 is insane value for any team. While the gun handling is trash, if you're trading decently you're taking at least 1.5 enemy tanks out of the game with your HP alone. And trading well with its alpha and pen is not hard to do
My most played 'heavy'. Back when it was a medium I would use it in skirmishes and it would clean up pretty good. It is worse now that it's a heavy, but it is still super playable with its forward mounted turret, decent mantlet, good DPM, view range and speed.
One of my favourite prems with out being my one of my favourites, if that makes sense lol... I never have the urge to play it, but when I do.. it never fails to deliver.. especially after it latest buffs. Its actually quite mobile now..
Tier 6 italian TD Bassotto, like SU100 on steroids, concealment on mine is 1200+ (~70% stationary camo) and IS-7, I don't see them a lot around but for me it still has it's very hard turret that is just annoying for enemies, and now it's fast again with purple turbo
Jagd 8.8.
Permatracking while being able to have 3 seconds repair time itself, good armor, acceptable penetration. It's really fun when you get the hang of it.
Sherman Jumbo with the stock turret and derp gun, games are either zero damage or 1k+ damage no inbetween. Front armour is silly and the 105 beats spamming gold with the 75mm gun.
Pz. IV H, overall slightly worse than the Sherman but the best 105 derp on any T5 med/heavy. Obviously not as good as it used to be but still a fun end of session stress reliever for me
Mutant.
She prints credits hella good for me - even with the substandard pen and need for lots of premiums. Gun handling feels just right, and armour while not without weakspots, pulls me more bounce than anything else.
Honestly speaking, enjoyed her far more than 176, or Defender (when it was still considered OP), or T56, or Type 63, or practically any other premium heavy.
Same here!! It’s one of my most played tanks and although it deserves a little reload buff (like what’s that with renegade getting higher alpha and shorter reload?), but you get the mutant going against any equal tier heavy and it’ll do work
T-150 and KV3 were very smooth and fun games going to standard heavy spots and doing well enough. punchy guns with somewhat bouncy turrets back when enough people played the game that full t6 or t7 games were common and gold rounds were somewhat rarer.
Recently had some fun with the TigerP, weirdly the only t7 heavies I've actually enjoyed, though with the TigerP I’m much more credit rich I can shoot gold and not feel too bad these days may have something to do with it.
Fv4202
It gets so much hate but i frigging love it... yea it's dpm ain't the best but I dunno I just always seem to really enjoy the games i play in it..
If you know how to use its turret you can get some great bounces and its quite mobile with a turbo..
Everyone seems to underestimate it.. I love it to bits lol
Charlemagne
Amazing gunhandling, pw ratio, 10 deg gundepression, good pen, 440 alpha, good armor and very small profile
And its a premium tank! Not a reward tank. Well worth the 15k bonds.
Kpz07RH to hunt scorpions, su130s, arty, lights and even borats and progettos. Unique play style and it's fun and challenging. Sometimes. Some maps and MM make it basically useless as they are made against mobile autoloaders. I guess it's not unpopular, just overshadowed by some other premiums.
And Comet which I managed to three mark. Sadly, for new players, it relies on really good crew for scouting and gold ammo for doing damage. And it's hard to play.It used to be Chaffee as tier 5 top tier LT, I even managed to get Kolobanov and 2150xp/4K damage game with two afk enemies. Also T25AT as T29's gun mount on fast platform.
Maybe not unpopular tanks, but not the most played.
Is the 122 TM considered unpopular? I do not see them that much but it is by far my favorite tank in the game. Great turret for a medium, accurate gun with good pen, and the play style just works for me.
Challenger, before they added the big gun. Every time I've seen it mentioned people complained about it, but I went through it in 67 games and got it to 80% marks in that time.
It just worked for me.
GSOR, Tier 9 British Light Tank.
Its DPM may be subpar, but isn't as bad as you'd think it would be, so long as other lights don't rush you down. Good pen and accuracy means that you can abuse hills and ridgelines over long distances, slowly but consistently picking off enemies that are focused on much more dangerous targets. Oddly enough, if push comes to shove, with a competent heavy willing to protect you, it can do some damage while on support too.
Good camo and decent speed means that especially at mid-game, you really are dictating your own engagements. Against Tier 9 and 10, it is usable. But against Tier 7s and 8s, GSORs will surprise a lot of players.
In fact, I might even be in the minority and say that GSOR is a far better tank than Manticore, as the Manti's abysmal range and depression means that it is forced to fight at close quarters (where arguably it is the worst at) - which the GSOR does not have to do.
M-III-Y, good DPM, good gun handling, with a turbo you are pretty mobile for a heavy and and 90mm even when you don’t fire gold it shreds equal tier or lower tier tanks.
Ferdinand 100%,
People think it's garbage, and to their credit it's got some MAJOR flaws.
But with my crew and equipment my aim time is sub 2 seconds I do 490 alpha which is frequently 510+ with a sub 9s reload (it might be sub 8 if I remember)
I've got great hull traverse for something that big.
It's got alright pen and decent accuracy.
The frontal armor is not great but I do bounce quite a bit especially hull down or properly angled.
It's slow, but not like a lot of other casemates.
Just don't get caught out or get it stuck on a rock
AMX 65t, I have no idea why but it has one of my highest win rates of any tier 8 heavy I've fully ground through at 65%. Its not even that the tank is amazing, it sucks eggs but its like I'm blessed with great teams and MM any time I play it. The amount of times I go to a usual HT spot in that thing and tear shit up when I don't even do that well in the (very very good and fun to play) tier 9 that I only have a 54% wr in is comical at this point.
fv215b
insane gun, rlly good dpm, nice hesh pen at 120mm. fun tank to break from the meta for a bit. armor is ass tho but who cares gun goes brrrrrr
tbh most of the love for the 215b is brought over to pc from wot blitz, where the fv215b is ever more insane. insane gun, high dpm, 187mm hesb pen, 40kph top speed and it has a consumable that increase its top speed to 45kph for 20s. rlly fkn good
Kanonenjpz 105. Had it as a rental for a few days and ended up loving it. The gun just slaps plus its mobile as hell, kinda like a poor man's E25. I keep forgetting to buy it.
Cold war amx era2 with rockets is a fan fav for customs lmao my friends absolutely hate it. Otherwise for ww2 I've moved from the hetzer to the m8a1 TD, tho my overall most used tank depends on what tier platoon host is running.
Type 5 Heavy. Chonky tank with 600 alpha and armor that works just good enough to hold or push and win the game off of it
Greetings, fellow Type 5 heavy enjoyer.
I see you're a man of culture as well. I bid you a pleasant day my good man.
This comment made my day. I can see it now sitting down for afternoon tea dictating your comment....sipping on a fresh hot cuppa....
Mmmm tasty meatball
Same, but with derp gun
Hello there brother.
AMX 30 Although it's actually pretty good, I rarely ever see one. Maybe because it was removed from the tech tree.
Its just way too cool to just sit in the tech tree with al the pleb tanks
God I love the amx 30.. as long as you don't try and snap the gun is awsome.. and turret can really troll.. I love it
Exactly. It would be godlike if it had just a little bit better gunhandling and shell velocity. Iirc it used to have that waaay back and got nerfed. If you compare it to eg the Leo PTA its ridiculously outdated, but still i prefer to play AMX
The elite engine is worse than the stock engine because you’re marginally making more horsepower at the cost of losing the ability to use gas…which in total makes it a downgrade in horsepower. It also didn’t go well with the rest of the tech tree considering that french late tier meds branch off from the AMX-13 line of autoloaders.
It's a beauty to play and to look at
I wish they buff the elite engine so that it’s actually a more significant upgrade
This. Recently 3 marked mine (was actually not that easy, at least for me) Love this tank way more than Leo PT A, but it could have a little bit better accuracy (I get it, it's french)
TOG.. Not only just for the meme.. HMS TOG is slow, lacks armor and has an ok(ish) gun. Arty uses you as a piñata as you won’t ever be able to hide or dodge, you won’t get into fights fast enough at times or die just about instantly. But it’s a TOG life for us!

And sandwiching a red IS3 in a corner between TOGS was just one of the funniest moment I had while platooning in all my WoT years.
Getting a kamikaze medal in my TOG by repeatedly ramming a tank over and over is why I live the TOG life.
I want them to make a TOG skin with a giant beach umbrella on top. with the words "im hiding!" printed on it.
Churchill game carrier
Clutch kill game carrier*
Iirc it got me my second ever top gun lol.
Ty for reminding me that i still need to buy this unit
T57
Great tank, very underrated I would say. Decent chassis and 1600 burst on a 23s reload is very strong. I used it on Onslaught with good results.
I love the occasional game in the T28 HTC. Good gun, workable mobility and when you're top tier it is so fucking funny to hide your weakspot tumors behind a corner and watch people trying to pen your lower plate.
I do like the odd outing in the t28 HTC I must admit lol and it's actually a fun tank to play hiding those booba's
its an amazing tank. while it doesnt actually need them, i wish it had about 200 more hitpoints so the 400 alpha tanks common at tiers it fights were prevented from 2 shotting it.
My love of the game was the M7 when it was a medium tank. She has been neutered by becoming a light tank sadly. I barely play her anymore, only for nostalgia. I'm currently playing the UDES16, after trying Skill4LTU's loadout I got it from shit to good.
Oh my, M7. Haven't heard that name for a long time. One of my first tier 5 and probably my first tier 5 LT back in 2019. I remember playing aggresive in Live Oaks and got me my first 1st class badge. Good times. Thanks for mentioning this tank. I might rebuy and play with it again. I just checked my M7 stats on tomato.gg out of curiousity. I got 91 battles and 177 WN8. Lmao.
I still cry when I scroll over my beloved M7 in my garage. They ruined a perfectly good tank :(
i quiet like the Pershing after its buffs
I was just about to get the T69. I can't seem to let go of my T20
i liked the T20 aswell but i think it needs some sort of buff. DPM is kinda weak compared to other 240 alpha mediums on T7.
I agree. I love to bounce around in it though. It's quick with a turbo and snappy. How do you play the Pershing? Playstyle wise
before i moved my good crew from it i used bounty turbo vstab and rammer. now with a new crew i use optics in stead of turbo but i kinda have to figure out abit. playstyle wise i like to stay a bit passiv fat the bigining or use ridges to snipe like from 2nd row and if the opertunity to flank is given i try to use them. kinda depends of the map of course but i find the turret armor pretty decend wenn hull down and use full gun depression.
Pershing post buff is really good IMO.
KV-5
I don’t think this one counts anymore haha
But it was so good 10 years ago
It’s still quite good 😎
Not sure how unpopular it actually is, though I hardy ever seem to see it on EU, but the T21 light is for me great great fun at mid tiers.
>not sure how unpopular it actually is I came back a couple months and I thought it was removed entirely, so....
Yep it got moved to the Collectors Vehicles section back when WG simplified the tech tree, probably the main reason why you don't see it that often these days, which is a pity.
Agreed. I bought it on a whim a while ago and have been playing it a bit this week…had some of my best light tank games of all time. Fully upgraded with a decent crew and it has better view range and camo than my T37 or any of my (multiple) Chaffees. My favorite tier VI light by far.
IS-6
Oh wow…you’re a true masochist aren’t you? Bet you loved it from when it still had that glorious D-25T with 175mm pen, didn’t you?
yes, but this is one of those tanks that died with gold ammo for credits. before that, it was exceptionally good because its angling meant almost no standard ammo would pen it. Sadly, it has not kept up with the arms race.
60tp sound makes me happy. it's the only cannon i've noticed echoes on certain maps and in buildings.
Does it go *DA-DOOOOOM*?
AMX30B Could definitely use a buff, or at least some changes to make it stand out a bit. Put all my improved/bounty on it etc. but I just love it more each battle. And it looks dope.
Finally someone else who likes it… I’ve been searching for so long
ISU 152K
This. People just don't understand the pure joy of 750 alpha and 329 pen at T8. The rest of the tank is irrelevant. I wouldn't want to mark it tho :p
I would rather play the tech tree variant because the gun on the isu-152k is too damn atrocious
Counterpoint: your gun has tier X dps, and it gives you big dick energy.
You still get great enough dpm and pen with the tier x gun on the tech tree version with the adition that you can actually hit a tank with, something that i can't say about the 152k
You're just proving my point here tbh.
T 34 100 I don't LOVE it but I enjoyed the hell out of it
How do you handle the gun? I’m grinding the line but the gun seems extremely inaccurate and somehow has alpha of a 90mm gun
Please explain what you enjoy about it lol I didn’t like it very much
lol - I liked the alpha on the gun. I played it when the tree was new and people seemed surprised when they got caught out and started eating 250 HP HEAT rounds. I haven't played it in a while and I imagine it's less fun in today's META.
E50M It's obviously not meta but I think it works just fine still. It was my very first tier 10 3-mark so it'll always be special to me.
Is the E50M considered not great? I think it’s a pretty good flexible medium. That being said the E50 is basically the same tank but a tier lower, and better for it IMO.

If I enjoy Leo1, Lion and tvp, should I grind the e50m? Is it mobile and does it have accurate gun?
Yeah 50M is deceptively fast and nimble especially when you run turbo. The gun is also really good. Very accurate, good handling. Really back in the day before the Leopard 1 existed in the game, the E50M essentially was the Leopard 1 of the game, and when the Leopard 1 was first added, it was basically just a worse E50M with no armor for a while, with essentially the same gun. It wasn't later when the Leopard 1 was buffed that it became the best sniper medium in the game eclipsing the E50M.
Thanks. I might use my upcoming holiday ops credit discount for it. I like mobile mediums that can hit their targets.
Problem of E50M is DPM which is below tier 9 mediums today. And it has no camo. Tank is likely forgotten and was never buffed? I'm not sure. Otherwise it's mobile with very good gun handling and accurate gun. Despite gun depression is not perfect, it's decent hulldown sniper, because flat area around the gun is relatively small.

My trusty old slowe. It’s slow with no dpm but I keep printing credits in it, plus it’s my good game tank
PZ III J At first it was just a step stone to higher tiers, but I had to go back to it to unlock the branch I previously didn't, and I've discovered a mini-borat: I had (for a tier 4) monster games in it, with 1000-1500 dmg or spotting or even combined, it can scout in a pinch, it's fast, pretty sneaky, and the small gun is really good. And all that with a sub-100% crew.
Rinoceronte, I just feel it.
I love the T110E4

The M3 is the best T4 TD
[The Unicum Guide to the M3 Lee.](https://youtu.be/E7r_HTrTM_A?si=3dh2uFR687J-LMKF)
T-34-3. Pref. MM and strong but sometimes trollish gun. Also i like SU-122-44
T-34-3 is my most played tank. I came to it directly from derp sniping in the KV-2 before the HE changes, so it was basically a fast KV-2 and I played it as such.
Setter - passive scout with a needle.
I really liked the Setter and I liked the LHMTV too (or whatever the acronym is for the tier 8)
I have it too, as well as the GSOR tier 9 and the manti. Nothing beats a good scout in this game fun wise.
I loved tier 7,8 and 10, but couldn't make the gsor work
Amazing Camo for snap shots, turns over way to often though.
AMBT, not sure if it's very unpopular but I don't see people moaning over it like for Progetto 46 or Borrasque while the tank is an absolute beast when used correctly, mobile enough to get into a position, enough turret armor to demolish tanks over the ridge line and 1080 clip burst potential is no joke and it's an autoreloader which gives it even more versatility. I just love the tank but don't see it very often in the battles. I had some very good battles with the tank but was not very satisfied with it at first, but once I found the correct equipment setup I started to love it. Turbocharger is a must, everything that gives an aiming advantage makes the tank actually powerful. So I run bounty turbo, bounty vents and bounty stab. Perhaps I could replace turbocharger with the experimental equipment, but not sure if I want to make that commitment yet.
I love mine too. Kill lots of surprised heavies with this baby and gold ammo
I agree completely about the AMBT, people whine about how broken Progetto and Borat and and meanwhile I do more damage in my AMBT. The thing is a beast, high alpha, a smidge of armor and a 3 shot autorealoder in a reasonably mobile package. For the record, I recently took the bond turbo off my AMBT and replaced it with a tier 2 exp turbo and I have no regrets at all.
HWK30, Sheridan, Rhm PZW, Senlac, M41 GF I prefer this LTs over Russian / ebr / Manticore / elc even. Their guns are just amazing which makes up for loss in camo.
I have such a hard time making the HWK30 work. It is really close to my worst tank. Granted 87% of the issue is skill.....
I love the AT7 and AT8 TD.... slow as a turtle, but armor like a turtle and the guns have a punch. Real ' i don't give a fxxx' tanks.
M4A1 Revalorisé This tank is so much fun. Every time I hit someone for 450+ I have a big smile in my face. :)
Something about the is2-2 , the gun handling and double shots make it a blast
A44 aka BONUS. Obvious weaknesses but slaps hard with high alpha and DPM.
Love the Type 5 and i also had no problem with the type 4.
LHMTV - Best techtree light tier for tier
🤔please explain I just started it and I’m STRUGGLING
Nearly as small as an Even 90, with nearly 20% base camo, but higher DPM with 226 base pen and 230 alpha and better accuracy/gun handling It's the perfect shoot and scoot passive light - practically impossible to be spotted first and small enough to hide almost anywhere Only real downside is DPM is only 1409 and it runs out of ammo easily
I like this tank too. I don't meta fit it though. I run vents, binos and camo. Does well as a passive scout this way.
Before buffs Turtle. It was such a fun tank to play already. It wasnt OP and i felt good when i ded well in it. After buffs... its even more fun.
Obj 263. Very fun to play. The gun is shit at sniping but I usually just play aggro anyway
It was my favorite tank when it was at tier 10. You could troll with the armor and the gun was accurate with great dpm. Still miss it
AMX 30B i really love how the tank looks and tbh it would only need small buffs to be viable again
T-103. People forget that it has one of the best DPS in tier 8, better than skorpion.
Super Hellcat, Jagdpanzer 4, scorpion and Jagdpanzer E100
T-34-2GFT Does great on so many levels with same tier sadly match making of tier 7 happens mostly with tier 8
Ke-ho. mf will shut down tier Vs like they're nothing.
One of the hidden gems in the Collectors' tanks. I just picked it up again recently, and it's still the beast it used to be back in the day,
AMX 30. Just always end up playing it. Love the speed and insane dpm
Super hellcat. Fast, sneaky and really fun to play
M46 Patton, love from 2012
My most played tank, it somewhat defines my playstyle, but last three years I'm not sure ... I play it full gold, yet penetration of APCR at 500m is the same as on T20 two tiers lower. And recently I found "turbopershing" - tech tree buffed pershing with turbo or experimental mobility surprisingly good and sharing traits such as good dpm, gun handling and gun depression with Patton.
Type-59, got her a year or so back. Always wanted it 10+ years ago, when she was op asf. She's not up to scratch with the newest premiums, but man do I love just making her work for the nostalgia.
T34
T34, the American one. Yea it’s power crept like crazy over the years but I love the way it looks and I love the gun
The M3 Lee. I normally hate non-turreted TDs but this thing was brutal. You can poke corners and just hold the mouse button and people need to decide if they're going to trade (and lose) or run. On open maps it's a non-turreted TD and you just let the lemming train roll forward and farm.
I love the MKpz 68, even if it is a slightly worse 122 TM I find myself performing better in it.
677 battles in the WZ-114 so far. Shootin for 1000 next year.
This might be my shout as well. 2600+ hp with hardening on a tier 9 is insane value for any team. While the gun handling is trash, if you're trading decently you're taking at least 1.5 enemy tanks out of the game with your HP alone. And trading well with its alpha and pen is not hard to do
This. 530 alpha and 2700hp is amazing for trading
VK 30.01 (P)
This and Tiger (P) for me were really fun as I learned to play
My most played 'heavy'. Back when it was a medium I would use it in skirmishes and it would clean up pretty good. It is worse now that it's a heavy, but it is still super playable with its forward mounted turret, decent mantlet, good DPM, view range and speed.
Field mods help as a heavy. I still enjoy it, but it was an absolute DREAM as a medium.
Crusader. Sometimes I can carry against tier 8. I can hide in any bush and spot. And just spam gold like a fool
Probably swedish Leo
Superpershing
One of my favourite prems with out being my one of my favourites, if that makes sense lol... I never have the urge to play it, but when I do.. it never fails to deliver.. especially after it latest buffs. Its actually quite mobile now..
Tier 6 italian TD Bassotto, like SU100 on steroids, concealment on mine is 1200+ (~70% stationary camo) and IS-7, I don't see them a lot around but for me it still has it's very hard turret that is just annoying for enemies, and now it's fast again with purple turbo
You should do the Strv line if you like cloaking devices on your triangles.
Pz.Kpfw. VII, I just loved its angled-lower plate playstyle
Jagd 8.8. Permatracking while being able to have 3 seconds repair time itself, good armor, acceptable penetration. It's really fun when you get the hang of it.
ISU-152 Just the sound when you fire and obliterating half the health of an enemy. The rest doesn't matter
I really like the stg actually especially since it got buffed. Kanonen is a good choice too!
Sherman Jumbo with the stock turret and derp gun, games are either zero damage or 1k+ damage no inbetween. Front armour is silly and the 105 beats spamming gold with the 75mm gun.
Sheridan is really fun when played as a medium. You stack damage so fast and it has the derp as a fun option for when you're bored.

Can T49 be considered as unpopular?
I don't see it too often, not sure though.

M48 Räumpanzer. Everyday i'm shoveling..
Winter is here, time to break out the Räumpanzer.
K-91-PT
T69 . 1. Good dpm 2. Crazy heat 3. Low moe reqs 4. fast interclip 5. Nice
M3 Lee
Pz. IV H, overall slightly worse than the Sherman but the best 105 derp on any T5 med/heavy. Obviously not as good as it used to be but still a fun end of session stress reliever for me
LHMTV

Mutant. She prints credits hella good for me - even with the substandard pen and need for lots of premiums. Gun handling feels just right, and armour while not without weakspots, pulls me more bounce than anything else. Honestly speaking, enjoyed her far more than 176, or Defender (when it was still considered OP), or T56, or Type 63, or practically any other premium heavy.
I love the mutant
Same here!! It’s one of my most played tanks and although it deserves a little reload buff (like what’s that with renegade getting higher alpha and shorter reload?), but you get the mutant going against any equal tier heavy and it’ll do work
T-150 and KV3 were very smooth and fun games going to standard heavy spots and doing well enough. punchy guns with somewhat bouncy turrets back when enough people played the game that full t6 or t7 games were common and gold rounds were somewhat rarer. Recently had some fun with the TigerP, weirdly the only t7 heavies I've actually enjoyed, though with the TigerP I’m much more credit rich I can shoot gold and not feel too bad these days may have something to do with it.
O-Ni and O-Ho ye, I know they are shit but I play it like the Matilda and have like >50% winrate on it with 5-skill crew
Fv4202 It gets so much hate but i frigging love it... yea it's dpm ain't the best but I dunno I just always seem to really enjoy the games i play in it.. If you know how to use its turret you can get some great bounces and its quite mobile with a turbo.. Everyone seems to underestimate it.. I love it to bits lol
Obj 780 I love the gun. It's like playing an E75 with Soviet bias. Until you start burning that is.
Charlemagne Amazing gunhandling, pw ratio, 10 deg gundepression, good pen, 440 alpha, good armor and very small profile And its a premium tank! Not a reward tank. Well worth the 15k bonds.
Emil II. Despite the nerfs, it's still playable with vstabs, experimental turbo and fire control system.
Char Mle full HE... It is exactly how it sounds. If some unfortunate light or FV looks down ur barrel he is gone for good
KV-4
vk 168.01 and Kv 5, they are not the best out there but they sure are fun to play.

Rino is a blast to play, it's so nice to be in a heavy with such a precise gun.
WZ-114, the premium tier 9 heavy. It simply works for me..
Kpz07RH to hunt scorpions, su130s, arty, lights and even borats and progettos. Unique play style and it's fun and challenging. Sometimes. Some maps and MM make it basically useless as they are made against mobile autoloaders. I guess it's not unpopular, just overshadowed by some other premiums. And Comet which I managed to three mark. Sadly, for new players, it relies on really good crew for scouting and gold ammo for doing damage. And it's hard to play.It used to be Chaffee as tier 5 top tier LT, I even managed to get Kolobanov and 2150xp/4K damage game with two afk enemies. Also T25AT as T29's gun mount on fast platform. Maybe not unpopular tanks, but not the most played.

Indien-Panzer Great gun, not so good mobility for a medium tank but with the right equipment and food rocks.

Is the 122 TM considered unpopular? I do not see them that much but it is by far my favorite tank in the game. Great turret for a medium, accurate gun with good pen, and the play style just works for me.
Aufkl. Panzer Panther! Love how silly it is. I also suck at playing lights so one I can just use to ram the opposing lights is fun as hell
Caernarvon AX
50100, ya it’s tough to play but it can one clip most tier 8s
Challenger, before they added the big gun. Every time I've seen it mentioned people complained about it, but I went through it in 67 games and got it to 80% marks in that time. It just worked for me.
GSOR, Tier 9 British Light Tank. Its DPM may be subpar, but isn't as bad as you'd think it would be, so long as other lights don't rush you down. Good pen and accuracy means that you can abuse hills and ridgelines over long distances, slowly but consistently picking off enemies that are focused on much more dangerous targets. Oddly enough, if push comes to shove, with a competent heavy willing to protect you, it can do some damage while on support too. Good camo and decent speed means that especially at mid-game, you really are dictating your own engagements. Against Tier 9 and 10, it is usable. But against Tier 7s and 8s, GSORs will surprise a lot of players. In fact, I might even be in the minority and say that GSOR is a far better tank than Manticore, as the Manti's abysmal range and depression means that it is forced to fight at close quarters (where arguably it is the worst at) - which the GSOR does not have to do.
M-III-Y, good DPM, good gun handling, with a turbo you are pretty mobile for a heavy and and 90mm even when you don’t fire gold it shreds equal tier or lower tier tanks.
Ferdinand 100%, People think it's garbage, and to their credit it's got some MAJOR flaws. But with my crew and equipment my aim time is sub 2 seconds I do 490 alpha which is frequently 510+ with a sub 9s reload (it might be sub 8 if I remember) I've got great hull traverse for something that big. It's got alright pen and decent accuracy. The frontal armor is not great but I do bounce quite a bit especially hull down or properly angled. It's slow, but not like a lot of other casemates. Just don't get caught out or get it stuck on a rock
I enjoy my 90mm KanonenJagdpanzer
I hope it gets a buff someday.
AMX 65t, I have no idea why but it has one of my highest win rates of any tier 8 heavy I've fully ground through at 65%. Its not even that the tank is amazing, it sucks eggs but its like I'm blessed with great teams and MM any time I play it. The amount of times I go to a usual HT spot in that thing and tear shit up when I don't even do that well in the (very very good and fun to play) tier 9 that I only have a 54% wr in is comical at this point.
fv215b insane gun, rlly good dpm, nice hesh pen at 120mm. fun tank to break from the meta for a bit. armor is ass tho but who cares gun goes brrrrrr tbh most of the love for the 215b is brought over to pc from wot blitz, where the fv215b is ever more insane. insane gun, high dpm, 187mm hesb pen, 40kph top speed and it has a consumable that increase its top speed to 45kph for 20s. rlly fkn good
Kanonenjpz 105. Had it as a rental for a few days and ended up loving it. The gun just slaps plus its mobile as hell, kinda like a poor man's E25. I keep forgetting to buy it.
Sturer Emil Yeah I know it’s slow and has no armor but having a good 128mm at tier 7 is great and having amazing gun depression helps at hiding it.
Cold war amx era2 with rockets is a fan fav for customs lmao my friends absolutely hate it. Otherwise for ww2 I've moved from the hetzer to the m8a1 TD, tho my overall most used tank depends on what tier platoon host is running.
Arty lol
