The best tier 5 tank here. Is it possible to farm on LT or Arte?

At the moment, more than 290 military vehicles of the past are available in World of Tanks. Each tank has its own strengths and weaknesses, however, there are some vehicles that are extremely comfortable to play on; these tanks really bend over backwards. We have selected for you the best tanks at each level so that you know what exactly to buy in order to have the greatest influence on the outcome of the battle. In general, if you want to bend over, read the material!

Before we start, let me tell you about how the tanks for the material were selected. Server-wide statistics for each tank were taken as a basis. Taken into account highest percentage victories However, some corrections were made, because there were situations when the equipment was new and only experienced players upgraded it, which is why the percentage of victories on the tank was much higher without any reason. In addition, the material did not include such vehicles as, for example, the KV-220, the statistics of which are very high, but the tank is now impossible to get.

Some levels housed several tanks, because it was very difficult to choose the best one.

First level - MS-1 (49.08% wins on the server)

The undisputed leader comes from the USSR - MS-1. Thanks to its complex of characteristics, Moska mercilessly oppresses newcomers and faggots who have just entered the game and have tens of thousands of battles behind them.

The MS-1 does not have armor (at the first level no one has it), amazing dynamics or accuracy... But a 45mm gun can deprive the enemy of 47 HP, which is quite a lot. In addition, the tank is small in size, which reduces the likelihood of being hit.

Second level - PzKpfw 38H735 (f) (56.53% wins on the server)

Although I promised not to include in the article tanks that are impossible to obtain, I simply cannot help but talk about the Minimouse, since this unusually protected tank can simply brutally destroy random battles thanks to its luxurious armor.

Pay attention to the win percentage on the server - 56.53% is very, very high. And all because the PzKpfw 38H735 (f) has absolutely amazing 40mm thick all-round armor. Classmates by level break through Minimouse with great difficulty, and first-level machines may not even try to do this (unless the same MS-1 can try and it is unlikely to succeed).

In addition, this 40mm armor is located not only in the forehead and sides but also, attention, in the stern. Among the disadvantages of the PzKpfw 38H735 (f) it should be noted its low speed and not very high penetration. However, these shortcomings are easily compensated by the luxurious advantages of the car.

But enough choking on your saliva, let’s move on to the machines that you can buy and which can bend no worse than the PzKpfw 38H735 (f).

T18 (50.43% wins on the server)

Do you want to bend at the second level? Please, there is nothing complicated about this, for this you will need straight arms and a small accessory in the form of an American T18 tank destroyer. Why is T18 better than its classmates? It's simple - thanks to the huge one-time damage, a tank destroyer can literally one-shot enemies, and thanks to its excellent speed, you can quickly react to the situation on the battlefield, which changes at lightning speed in the sandbox. It is also worth mentioning the good 51mm armor of the tank destroyer, which can save you from shots in difficult times.

Of course, it was not without its drawbacks. You should always remember that you are a tank destroyer, not a tank - the T18 does not have a turret, so an enemy that gets behind the lines can cause you a lot of problems. And the enemy can get used to the board, which is also not very pleasant.

And one more thing - to guarantee high damage, carry Serbogold with you, if, of course, you have enough silver.

T2 Light Tank (53.95% win rate on server)

If T18 is created for those who like to one-shot the enemy, then T2 Light Tank will appeal to players who love fast rides. This is one of the fastest tanks in the game, so you can always hope that the tank's engine will help you out in difficult times. For example, when a base is captured, you can quickly return and knock down the capture.

In addition, in addition to speed, the T2 Light Tank boasts an unusual weapon - a machine gun that destroys 12 units of HP in one hit. If you know how to use these weapons correctly, you can work real miracles.

The tank also has disadvantages, for example, a complete lack of armor and not very high maneuverability, which will play a cruel joke on you more than once.

T2 Light Tank in all its glory, watch video

As you can see, at the second level you can choose between two tanks. Consider what style of play you like.

Third level - FCM36 Pak40 (59.02%)

A phenomenally high percentage of victories on this French tank destroyer FCM36 Pak40! This is not surprising - powerful weapons and good armor (machine guns are not scary) allow you to work real miracles.

In addition, the PT unit boasts phenomenal visibility at its level - as much as 400 meters! You see the enemy when the enemy does not even suspect that he is glowing like christmas tree. Properly using the visibility and power of the FCM36 Pak40 gun, it can carry through the toughest battles. And don't let the fact that the FCM36 Pak40 costs scare you real money, the price is not very high, only 850 gold coins. Believe me, this is a small price to pay for bending.

The disadvantages include low speed and not very large horizontal aiming angles. The disadvantages are not very significant; the advantages outweigh them several times.

Level four - Hetzer (49.45% win rate on the server)

At the fourth level, it was quite difficult to choose the most bending tank, since almost all the vehicles are quite average in their characteristics. However, an interesting tank destroyer at this level is also called “Hetzer”. True, for comfortable and effective bending you will need a lot of silver. Thick frontal armor and an excellent land mine, capable of depriving an enemy of 350 HP, make Hetzer a real monster. Of course for comfortable game you need to shoot with serbogold to maximize your chances of inflicting those same 350 units of damage.

The vehicle is quite unique and in inept hands the Hetzer will infuriate the tank driver with its low speed.

Fifth level

KV-1 (49.1% win rate)

Don’t look at the fact that the KV-1 has such a low win percentage on the server. This is due to the fact that the tank is extremely popular, and the statistics on it correspond most closely to the concept of “balance”. Excellent protection at its level, excellent weapons, but poor mobility and visibility - that’s key features this tank. Getting into the TOP, the KV-1 drags the battle and is the main combat unit of the team.

View about KV-1

S-35 CA (52.21% win rate on the server)

The second vehicle for bending at the fifth level is the S-35 CA, which has absolutely lethal weapons - a 105mm gun can upset the enemy by as much as 300 hit points, which is a record among its classmates. Huge number! If an evil VBR throws you to the top of the list, then you can be punished mercilessly.

The machine's disadvantages are standard - lack of armor, low speed and low strength. But believe me, these shortcomings are compensated by crazy damage. And the visibility of the S-35 CA is excellent - we can see as much as 400 meters. If you install a light and a pipe... Soviet blind tanks will suffer, suffer a lot;).

Open spoiler

AT 2 (52.23% win rate)

This tank destroyer is suitable only for those players who adore the sound of shells bouncing off them. Thanks to the record thickness of the armor, AT 2 survives where the rest of the team would have already merged. Just imagine, at the fifth level we have access to as much as 203mm of frontal armor! Damn, this is so cool that you can’t even ask for anything better.

The stern and sides are, of course, less well armored, but 101mm is also very helpful.

What characteristics of the AT 2 were sacrificed for the Serb? Weapons and speed. We move with the speed of a turtle and bite the enemy with the strength of a mosquito. Which, however, does not prevent this tank destroyer from bending brutally, especially on city maps where there are many narrow passages.

Playing on AT 2 became even more comfortable after update 0.8.6, since the evil SU-26 imba was nerfed. Feel free to buy if you like it armored tanks. A lot of emotions are guaranteed.

Sixth level

KV-1S (49.06%)

A recognized imba in World of Tanks. The most brutal one-time damage of 390 units, enemy tanks burst in two shots. In addition to an excellent gun, Kvass has good mobility, which is quite unexpected for a tank that deals such wild damage.

The advantages are compensated by not very good armor (but there are ricochets, and quite often) and a high probability of fire (perks will help you).

The most popular tank in the game - it’s not for nothing that the “kvaskaktank” meme is alive and well. "Kwaskaktank, can it hold a blow?"

Look

M18 Hellcat (51.31% win rate)

High speed and excellent weapons are a deadly combination, especially in the realities of the World of Tanks. The M18 Cat from Hell is capable of not only dragging out battles, but also giving the tanker completely new emotions, because it is in this tank destroyer that you will find speed and a good gun. But a weak penetration is not a problem.

M18 Hellcat is a chic alternative to Kvass.

Open video

Level seven - PzKpfw VI Tiger (P) (50.19% win rate)

The seventh level, like the fourth, is also difficult to choose a bending technique. Many, of course, will prefer the Soviet IS, but I choose the German PzKpfw VI Tiger (P), which I advise you to do too, because if you use this wonderful machine correctly, you will enjoy every battle.

Excellent armor penetration and good 200mm armor make the tank truly interesting. Of course, low mobility and low one-time damage should be taken into account. But even despite these disadvantages, the PzKpfw VI Tiger (P) can bend. And if you place the tank in a diamond shape, enemy shells will regularly bounce off the vehicle.

Watch the video

Eighth level - IS-3 (48.69%)

And again we have an undisputed leader at our level. Quite a rare occurrence, but the IS-3 at level eight is the best tank. It has everything - a great weapon, good armor, mobility... The disadvantages are very insignificant - poor visibility and long aiming times are easily offset by its advantages.

Feel free to buy if you are looking for the most bending tank at the eighth level. The IS-3 is especially transformed after purchasing the 122 mm BL-9 gun, which increases armor penetration to 225 mm.

Look

Ninth level

T54E1 (51.83% win rate)

Despite its weak armor, the T54E1 is still capable of firing randomly, using its loading drum, which is capable of delivering 1560 damage. In addition, the T54E1 also has good dynamics, allowing it to quickly respond to a changing situation on the battlefield.

Show video

T-54 (49.32% win rate)

Armament, armor, speed - the T-54 has no disadvantages, only advantages. An extremely nice tank in World of Tanks, which is capable of bending not only in straight hands.

Show

T57 Heavy Tank (51.66% win rate)

And again we have a relatively new guest American tank with loading drum. Powerful weapons, good dynamics and very fast reloading of the drum are compensated by weak armor and a small margin of safety.

However, if you don’t expose yourself to enemy shots, you can hit record numbers in the “damage” column. One of the most enjoyable tanks at the moment.

Open video spoiler

AMX 50 Foch (155) (53.54% win rate)

How can we do without Focha, who after patch 0.8.6 became especially popular due to the almost complete absence of artillery in battles. It has excellent armor, a loading drum for three shells and excellent dynamics. The AMX 50 Foch (155) is a perfect example of how the most significant advantages can be present in one machine.

The disadvantages are insignificant - the lack of armor in the stern and sides, as well as the low margin of safety, practically does not play a role in random battles. Foch 155 is now bending like never before.

Display Hide Contents

Well, friends, that's all for me. Of course, not everyone will agree with this list of tanks, but I tried to collect the equipment taking into account all the factors as much as possible - the percentage of wins on the server, player voting, as well as personal feelings and observations. But in the end I will say one thing - even the most disgusting tank can bend. It all depends on your hands, the characteristics of the car are in the background, they only complement your skill.

Good luck in your battles and fast pumping to you!

In World of Tanks average Tier 5 tanks are one of the most popular vehicles in the game. They attract absolutely everyone World players of Tanks. These are already quite serious machines, capable of withstanding opponents of a higher level, on which knowledge of the mechanics of the game and control of combat vehicles is achieved.

• German VK 16.02 Leopard with a powerful automatic cannon, excellent dynamics and good visibility.
• American M 24 Chaffee - high speed, excellent maneuverability, traditionally good angles vertical aiming guns and stabilization.
• Among the medium tanks is the Soviet T 34, fast, maneuverable, with a gun with good penetration and high DPM.
• Pz.IV H - excellent visibility, the presence of a 105-mm howitzer, the most accurate at the level.
• The M4 Sherman is a well-known American, maneuverable, with an optimal set of characteristics and with two guns to choose from - a conventional cannon for such tanks, or a “high explosive” that annihilates almost any classmate with one shot.

It is worth mentioning the tank destroyer - one of the most balanced vehicles in the game - the American T67, capable of defeating the best premium Tier 5 tank. Everything about it is perfect - an excellent weapon, visibility, maneuverability, speed that allows you to instantly move from flank to flank, a low silhouette and good camouflage. All this makes this tank destroyer dangerous weapon in the hands of both experienced players and beginners.

Buy a premium tank tier 5

The most prominent representatives of heavy tanks in the game are the Soviet KV-1 with amazing armor and a great selection of guns, and the American T 1 Heavy with strong frontal armor and a powerful gun. If you don’t know which premium Tier 5 tank is best to buy, pay attention to the British Matilda BP, the Soviet KV 220-2 and Churchill III, the German Pz. T25 and Pz.V/IV, American T14 and M4A2E4.

In our store you will find the best premium level 5 tank for farming, with which it is easier and faster to earn silver.

Each of the game levels in World of Tanks is interesting in its own way. Each of them has its own atmosphere, its own leaders and its own favorites. But I decided to start talking about level 5 for a reason. It so happens that this level is liked by many players (mostly beginners, but not only), which can already serve as a reason for an article. But there is also a second reason - at the moment the game is offering discounts on all 5 levels until December 15 inclusive. Isn't this a reason to talk about them and get players interested in buying them?

I would like to note right away that in this list interesting cars of level 5 will be both generally recognized imbas and simply interesting cars at author's taste. This disclaimer is made to avoid misunderstandings. Now that we’ve prepared and made a reservation, let’s move on to the list of the most interesting Tier 5 cars.

T-34

The Soviet T-34 is a legendary tank, both during the Second World War and in our game. He gained fame from players not only because of his origin, but also because of his strong performance characteristics. Excellent mobility and maximum speed, ricochet armor, an excellent weapon with simply enormous damage per minute and remarkable penetration. And in terms of safety margin, everything is in order. It’s no wonder that a tank with such a set of performance characteristics is one of the best medium tanks, and indeed of all equipment at this level.

There is no point in describing the Type T-34, because it is a Chinese copy of the Soviet version of the T-34 and their differences are extremely minimal (in fact, they can be considered the same tank). I recommend any of the versions, both the original and a copy, for purchase and testing. The T-34 is very strong and will allow you to be a decisive force in battles, sometimes even at the very bottom of the list.

KV-1

As for me, if the first of the Soviet tanks at level 5 is the T-34, then the second is definitely the KV-1. KV-1 is also a famous tank as in wartime, and on the battlefields in the game. He is a favorite of many players, especially beginners. The KV-1 has strong armor, which allows it to tank not only classmates, but also periodically tanks of higher levels. What can we say then that at its level and with tanks below the KV-1 it often fights effortlessly and causes a lot of damage. Of course, the tank has vulnerabilities in the armor in any projection, but it still allows you to make mistakes without paying for them. The KV-1 also has a gun with high damage and good damage, which allows you not only to hold back the enemy, but also to advance.

The KV-1 is one of the strongest tanks at its level. Yes, there are certain disadvantages in the form of poor visibility and not the best dynamics, but the advantages in most cases not only compensate, but often outweigh the disadvantages. If you are new to World of Tanks or a lover of armored vehicles, I highly recommend the KV-1 for purchase. Plus, like many level 5 players, he farms silver well even without using a premium account.

Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. H

Like many medium tanks that have a special high-explosive weapon, the Pz. IV H. experienced such an event as the nerf of cumulative shells, and high-explosive weapons in general. Previously, many patches and years ago, high explosive weapons overwhelmingly dominated their level. There were good reasons for this - high damage from HE shells, even without penetration, and penetrating cumulatives, which, moreover, were not “devoured” by the screens and easily penetrated them. There were no tracks or anything like that, the cumulative shells went into the tank like a knife through butter. But time has passed, cumulative weapons have weakened greatly, and landmines were also either reworked/changed in penetration and alpha, or cut down in some other way. But this does not mean that Pz. IV H became a weak tank. It still has good mobility, not cardboard armor on the forehead, which allows you to tank many high-explosive weapons without taking full damage. Not very much, but the screens on the turret help, and the recently added screens on the sides of the hull help quite well, especially against landmines and cumulative shells. The tank has two guns to choose from, and with the nerf of the 105mm high-explosive gun, another, 75mm gun, began to be used more often, but the choice is purely individual. A 105mm cannon is a powerful high-explosive weapon that allows you to inflict damage with a HE shell without even penetrating a tank, and cumulative bullets make it possible to knock out huge numbers of strength from the enemy (this is not true for everyone, because after the nerf, cumulative bullets have significantly decreased in penetration).

The second 75mm cannon is an ordinary “rapid fire” gun - good penetration on the AP and average penetration on the BP, the damage is also average. Essentially, this weapon is for those who want maximum stable play, without surprises.

Even the tank's disadvantages, such as the guns' lack of accuracy and penetration and the tank's mediocre armor as a whole, do not make it weak. Pz. IV H is still good and strong on the battlefield, just a little more difficult to play. The tank is quite unique and not for everyone, but it’s definitely worth a try.

M24 Chaffee

This light tank, which had been at level 5 throughout the history of the game, underwent dramatic changes in one of the patches and became what it is at the moment. Currently, the M24 Chaffee is the fastest and most visible light tank at its level (77 km/h and 390 m, respectively). The safety factor is also high for its size and amounts to 440 HP.

Yes, there are also negative aspects in the form of a weapon that is not the most penetrating, I would say even a weakly penetrating weapon and a small ammo capacity for it. But still, the main characteristics that a light tank should have in the M24 Chaffee are the highest level. It’s stupid to say that playing the LT is a simple task, but among all the variety of this type of technique, “Chaffik” is quite easy to use and very effective even at the very bottom of the list. If playing light tanks is too difficult for you or you don’t like it, then there is no point in buying the M24 Chaffee, but I highly recommend it to everyone else.

M7

There is a decent-sized category of tanks in the game, which combine the features of several types at once, are intermediate or even tanks “in a different skin.” American medium tank M7 is one of them. In terms of the weight and gun of the tank, it is quite average, but in terms of other characteristics I would like to call it light. Excellent mobility, almost 20 horses per ton and a high maximum speed of 60 km/h forward and 20 km/h back are more prone to the performance characteristics of a light tank. And the armor says the same thing, because it is quite weak and only protects against level 3 machine guns.

The M7 cannot play a classic medium tank, and certainly positional play is not for it (commonly due to weak armor and mediocre gun stabilization). But the LT style is much more effective, because for this we have both speed and good camouflage (the tank is low in silhouette, but of course the problem is that it is not an LT, which means there is no bonus to camouflage), as well as suitable weapons, very rapid-fire and “biting”, but also penetrating, especially with gold shells.

The M7 is definitely not for everyone, but it has a trick. I advise fairly skilled players to buy it, especially fans of fast vehicles (including LTs).

T67

“Imba” is the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to the T67 Tier 5 tank destroyer. Unfortunately (that's right, "unfortunately"), this is so. This tank has simply excellent mobility with one of the best power-to-weight ratios in the game, and the maximum speed back and forth is at the level of a light tank. The T67 also impresses with its stealth. Even a firing T67 is very difficult to detect. And while you don’t see him, he will disassemble you at lightning speed due to his extremely powerful weapon. Good penetration on the AP (although one of the weakest on the level), almost instantaneous reduction, and an incredibly high rate of fire. The tank's damage per minute is simply overwhelming (more than 2000 damage per minute at level 5!). So, among other things, this tank has a full rotation turret, which sometimes allows you to play very aggressively, spin opponents without a turret (mainly tank tanks and self-propelled guns), and also not move the tank’s body when playing from the bushes. The last plus makes it possible to maintain the tank's camouflage while standing, and also not to reset the bonus from the camouflage net.

Among the shortcomings of the tank, I would like to note the terrible armor, which can be penetrated by land mines with full damage (starting with a 75mm caliber without problems), as well as the small ammunition load, which, with such intensity of fire, can quickly lead to its devastation. However, these disadvantages in no way compensate for the advantages of the T67 and do not make it balanced. The tank is too strong, and in my opinion should be nerfed. But if you don't care about this aspect or just want to feel more power on the battlefield, then the T67 is simply a clear choice for you.

AMX ELC Bis

The so-called “Yolka” is one of the most popular and fun tanks at its level. The high maximum speed and simply huge specific power, one of the best in the game (37 horses per ton without modules), contribute to the popularity of the tank. The advantages also include the extremely small size and the presence of a tower. Due to its size, AMX ELC Bis can derive two benefits - excellent passive illumination (with pumped up masking and camouflage net You will only see the “Yolka” from an x-ray distance) and very active reconnaissance (due to its small dimensions it is very difficult to get into it).

The tank's gun is surprising; for such a small mass and the same size, the gun is very powerful. A 90mm gun causes a lot of damage and has strong penetration, especially on gold (almost 250mm). That is, even at the very bottom of the list, “Yolka” is capable of not only shining, but also causing damage.

Among the negative aspects of the tank, I would include the terrible stabilization of this gun, very poor damage per minute, as well as the turret. There is a tower, but the rotation sector is incomplete and very small. Also, due to its size, this light tank has a very dense arrangement of modules, which greatly affects its critability. Another not-so-obvious disadvantage is that there are only two crew members in the tank, which means that the incapacitation of any of them greatly affects subsequent effectiveness on the battlefield. Also, the visibility is not the strongest (only 360m, which is not enough for a light vehicle of this level).

But despite its shortcomings, AMX ELC Bis wins the hearts of many players. The advantages of the tank allow you to play the role of both a thoughtful and careful LT-water, and a perky, merry fellow rushing headlong across the battlefield. The tank is perfect for playing for fun. Even though he is a LT, I advise absolutely everyone, even beginners, to purchase one for the hangar (Yolka is a good place to gain experience correct game on light tanks).

O-I Experimental

This Japanese heavy tank turns out to be the last on my list of the most interesting tanks at tier 5. Quite often, the introduction of a new technique “breaks” the random battle mode. Not everyone is ready for the emergence of new technology, especially a new type. This was the case with the advent of Japanese TTs. If tanks up to level 5 are nothing special, then from level 5 and above their influence on the battle is quite decent. O-I Exp. not just a heavy tank, it is a World of Tanks mastodon in terms of size and weight. The tank has a huge mass of 100 tons (!!!), as well as very large dimensions, the largest at its level at least. The advantages include surprisingly (for such a mass) fairly good mobility with maximum speed as much as 40 km/h and not the worst specific power of 12 horses per ton. The visibility of 360 meters, as for a TT, is very good. Surprisingly, with such a mass, the tank has rather mediocre armor. Often even our classmates penetrate us without any problems, and non-penetration or ricochets mainly pass through the VLD zone, where the armor is located at a strong angle.

The top 100mm gun is very powerful, both in terms of damage per minute and one-time damage (as much as 300 units of damage per shot). Such damage is in most cases 2/3 or half of the total strength of any of the enemy tanks (we are talking about classmates, that is, about level 5 vehicles). Such huge numbers make other tanks very afraid of this heavy tank.

But there are no pros without cons. The weapon is very powerful, but has poor stabilization and aiming, penetration on gold is also not great, which makes the fight against tanks of higher levels very problematic. There is armor, but as already described above, it is not that good, the problem is mainly due to the lack of slope of the armor almost throughout the entire tank. The tank is lively, but not the most agile, which allows you to wind it up without any problems. The huge size tells us about monstrously poor camouflage and frequent suffering from artillery. In addition to spinning, short enemies can simply rub against the tank and cause damage to it, because the tank is very high and the gun simply will not go down too low on the side.

Despite the tank's unpleasant aspects, it is very strong. And the feeling when such huge amounts of damage hits the enemy is simply indescribable. A tank can resist and be dangerous even alone, but it is especially strong with the support of at least a small number of allies. The tank’s peculiar advantages and disadvantages make it a “black sheep” compared to many heavy tanks of its level. Whether this is good or bad is up to you to decide. But no one forbids you to ride it and form your own opinion, and what’s more, I recommend it.

That's the whole list of tanks that, in my opinion, are the most interesting at level 5. But I want to note that this does not mean that there is nothing interesting among other equipment. I have been described as generally accepted strong tanks, and just interesting for me.

Therefore, you may well disagree with my top tanks and create your own, which I will also be happy about.

The main thing in the game is, obviously, the tanks. Historical, that existed and fought on different continents of the world, reliable paper models and bits of projects that have already been completed and thought out by the developers, each individual vehicle in the World of Tanks has its own, special and unique history. And, as they say, for every product there is a merchant, so in our game for every tank there is someone who can call it his favorite!

Well, I think it’s clear here that each player decides for himself which one is the best for him in the game, but we will try to tell you which ones are the most attractive, which are very pleasant to play, and easier/more accessible to play.

As you know, in our game there are X levels of equipment and at each level there are/are different heroes. In parallel with how bending tanks will be covered, we will also talk about the vehicles that are most popular on the World of Tanks servers. At each level we will highlight 3 cars (there will be exceptions) that stand out the most + a bonus that seems the most fun, as the players call it.
Although there are 10 levels in the game, we will start the review with tanks of the 5th level, since up to this level there are still frivolous vehicles, a sandbox, as most players like to call levels up to the 5th.

Level 5

At level V, there are several contenders for the title of best tank, and they are all Soviet.
Firstly, let's note the most popular for the game, not counting the first levels - this is the Soviet power of the KV-1. All-round armor, versatile guns, and of course, the historical component, gave this tank such a reputation! Every player, especially the older generation, considers it their duty to pump out this car.

Secondly, this is the T-34 - with no less rich history, compared to the KV-1, one of the most best tanks war, which changed its course. What makes it so popular? Its hole-piercing guns are 57 mm ZiS-4, with high penetration but low damage. The two most popular branches in the game are the Soviet ST and TT, and through them, two great tanks are located at 5 levels: the T-34 and the KV-1.

And the third, only for the elite KV-220. It has excellent all-round armor, which is extremely difficult for level 5 guns to take, and even some sixes feel the problem of penetrating this vehicle, plus its preferential battle level! All this makes this tank a real gem, but it is very difficult to obtain.

The bonus on 5s is T67 - American tank destroyer, which does not feel like PT. Excellent speed, stealth, high penetration and low silhouette allow you to bend over your classmates, and in battles at the bottom of the list, with the help of gold, you don’t feel any suffering!

Level 6

At level VI, the three tanks have all three STs - one Soviet and two British.
Let's start with a legend that everyone, young and old, knows; almost every city has a monument to this significant T-34-85 tank.
The average USSR is a universal fighter on the battlefield; its excellent weapon with good AP penetration and comfortable gold for combat against 8-kilometers, accuracy and mobility make this tank popular. Of course, we should not forget that this tank is being pumped up because of its huge combat history, and the fact that it comes next after the T-34, but this does not make it any less excellent.

The second is the British Cromwell, a technique for real extras. Unlike the 34-85, the Cromwell does not have armor, but at the same time its maximum speed and gun, coupled with stealth, allow it to achieve excellent results that will surprise even the driver himself.

And the third, new to World of Tanks - Sherman Firefly. One of the most successful models of British tank building, with the legendary OQF 17-pdr Gun Mk. VII, in which you can fight without gold even at the bottom of the list, even against 8 levels.
The bonus on 6s is the legend of the broads - KV-2. It is both for bending and for fun. His gun 152 mm M-10 with an alpha high explosive of 900 points allows him to fight even with X levels (!!!), where one shot at a Waffenträger auf E 100, or other cardboard machines, can deprive half of the HP.

Level 7

Level 7, according to players, is the most balanced, so choosing the top three here is very difficult.
The first, or rather the first ones, are IS/IS-2/IS-2. It is impossible to single out one of these machines, because they are almost identical, so we will add all three units to this list. IS - the most famous tank, one of the 10 most popular tanks World of Tanks. Its advantages are the D-25T with alpha from 390, mobility, turret armor. In the TOP, these vehicles do battle, distributing “Soviet henchmen”, and at the bottom of the list we play PT, imagining that you are an SU-122-44, which is also fighting with 9 levels with the same weapon.

The second unit is the German Tiger I. The German TT, which fought in World War II and has a rich history, is perfectly implemented in the game. 1500 hit points, 8.8 cm Kw.K gun. 43 L/71 with 203mm breakdown, 240 alpha and with a DPM of 2000 points per minute, which is comfortable, pleasant and interesting to play. At the top of the list, the Tiger is a thunderstorm of enemies, punching through everyone, dismantling anyone with DPM, and at the bottom of the list we play PT, alternating BB with gold.

The third vehicle is the American heavy T29. If the 29 is from the mound, then even the 9th level will not be able to break through it the first time. The tank has strengths, but also has pain points. Its balance and application on the battlefield make it a great machine that you'll want to play again and again.

The bonus is the unit hated by everyone - a flea, a bug, a mosquito, a Gatling gun - this is a German tank destroyer E-25. An inconspicuous cart that causes a lot of problems for opponents, especially blind ones like Soviet TTs. Mosquito bites of 150 points in 3 seconds will kill anyone who comes under the gun of this machine. Well, if you end up in an E-shek platoon, if you are in a field without cover and they are targeting you, expect trouble. The enormous popularity of the vehicle contributed to its withdrawal from sale, but there were no fewer of them in battles.

Tier 7 is so diverse that I would like to mention at least five more vehicles - these are the T-34-1, T71, M41 Walker Bulldog, LTTB and Spähpanzer SP I C. We won’t talk about them, we’ll just note that they are also worthy be on this list.

Level 8

We are getting to the top. Level VIII is no longer a sandbox. At these levels and global map, and fortified areas and company battles.
The first tank at level 8 will be the IS-3. A vehicle that is suitable for all of the above battles, and also fills the randomness. Frontal armor of the hull and turret, the presence of bulwarks, a good gun, mobility and a low silhouette are the key to the success of the vehicle.

The second one is FCM 50t. The vehicle is not for everyone, as the huge hull and lack of armor make playing on the tank very difficult for beginners, but experienced players show excellent results on the tank, setting records for damage again and again. Tanks with a preferential combat level and an excellent 212 penetration gun, so suffering on this vehicle is excluded. An analogue of this car can be offered by another Frenchman - AMX Chasseur de chars. An even less armored vehicle, which bursts from land mines and does not have a preferential level, but has a high camouflage coefficient and the highest maximum speed at level VII among STs due to the Maybach HL 295 F engine of 1200 horsepower.

The third is another Frenchman, also a frequent guest in fortifications, companies and on the main battery - AMX 50100. A machine that can pick up any classmate in one drum and quickly escape from the scene of a crime - that’s its feature. The high penetration and alpha of 300 for each bullet is what sets the drum against all its enemies. But the most difficult thing is to change the CD of the drum at 50 seconds, when it becomes defenseless meat for the enemy. Another weak point is the lack of armor, but this is typical for all vehicles from the French branch.

Bonus for VIII, we note two vehicles - the British tank destroyer Charioteer and the Japanese medium STA 1. Both tanks are secretive samurai who conduct their battle from the shadows, supporting their butting allies. High CTA penetration and the magnificent Chariothir 105 mm AT Gun L7 with 268 mm are the swords of these tanks, with which they pierce their opponents, even playing at the bottom of the list.
Another contender is the IS-6. Tanks that have become one of the most popular premium tanks in the game, having the same D-25T tank, armor and preferential combat level.

Level 9

A level 9 imba is considered to be an upgraded VK 45.02 (P) Ausf. B, or alpha sneaker, which was brought back to life the last couple of patches ago, increasing the thickness of the armor. Now VK 45.02 (P) Ausf. B tanks even X-tier tank destroyers, sometimes even their gold shells. To push the direction, or to restrain it, to be the first at the forefront of the attack - this is the real calling for this tank! Of course, it still has weak sides and enemy artillery, but these are small disadvantages compared to its advantage. Plus, the sneaker is also mobile, considering its weight.

The second copy is the German medium E 50. Another universal fighter who can tank at the right time and go to another part of the map. Having on board a cannon with German precision and high penetration, playing the epis, as it is called, turns into a pleasure. The E 50 can travel with allied CTs, or be a second-line tank, moving with allied TTs. Who to be in battle is a choice only for the player, but with huge potential, like on the E 50, you definitely won’t have to suffer.

The third machine is M103. All American TTs are famous for their turret heads, and the 103 is no exception. Tanking even TOP guns with huge penetrations? It's very easy! An American can hold his own even against multiple allies, or play cat and mouse with other opponents if the map allows. It is perfectly balanced, so you won't have to suffer on the M103.

The bonus on IX is the Soviet ST T-54. No matter how its turret was nerfed, no matter how its hull armor was changed, the 54 remains an excellent CT, one of the most popular at its level. Speed, mobility, low silhouette and the fact that the tank can forgive due to the armor provided - all this makes the vehicle so popular.

Level 10

The Xth level is the crown of each branch, the result of each nation. Each tank at this level has its own features, its own directions. Each has good characteristics. Of course, there are guns like the Waffenträger auf E 100, which will soon be replaced, or an ART-SAU, which does not allow you to relax normally in battle, as well as the presence of PT 10 with huge broads.
10s are the level of extremes. There are also drum TTs, there are also slow cast-iron walls such as Maus and E-100, and there are also versatile STs. Therefore, each player must choose for himself which tanks are interesting to him, and it would be incorrect, at a minimum, to single out one of the others.

So, dear friends. This was only the opinion of one person, and not the crowd, because, as stated earlier - to taste and for color. But, undoubtedly, those provided in this list can bend, can become the best, but only in the hands of the right player.
And that's all! Go to World of Tanks and choose your own, the best in the game, and prove that it really is the best! Good luck on the battlefields of the World of Tanks!

At level 5 in game World of Tanks has many premium tanks. In terms of silver earnings, they are, of course, inferior to their higher-level counterparts, but they can bring more fun and pleasure. In addition, levels 5 are good for leveling up the crew.

Premium technology at this level is available as in free access in the in-game store, and under certain promotions.

Tier 5 premium tanks are of interest because during some events (for example, New Year, February 23, Victory Day, etc.) receive a 50% discount on the price.

To choose the best tier 5 premium tank, you need to set your expectations. In this niche of technology there are many options with a preferential level of combat, but therefore with weaker performance characteristics than those tanks that also fall into 7.

We will look at the most interesting variants of equipment, compare performance characteristics and figure out which tanks are better suited for combining earning silver and enjoying the game.

Old-timers of the game and beta testers could get their hands on this tank earlier, so it is one of the rarest guests in battles. Now you can only buy a random legend if you get into a promotion from Wargaming, because sometimes they still release interesting and rare tanks into the store.

Let's take a look at its performance characteristics:

Large ammunition capacity, good rate of fire and good one-time damage allow this tank to conduct active shooting. The situation is slightly complicated by poor accuracy and weak armor penetration, but this is quite enough for battles from levels 4-5-6.

The main feature of the KV-220-2 is its armor:

This tank has the most powerful hull armor at its level. When placed in a diamond shape, it will be difficult to penetrate even 6 levels, but you need to take care of the tower and not expose its sides to enemy shells.

Possesses a short review at 310 meters, so his best role is as a breakthrough tank. Mediocre mobility in most cases will not allow him to return to defend the base, so the strategy acceptable for him on the battlefield is assault and only assault.

The KV-220-2 forgives mistakes, so it is suitable for beginners in mastering the game, and for experienced players to increase their WN8 rating. If such an opportunity arises, then you can safely buy this tank.

German medium tank Pz.Kpfw. V/IV

Pz.Kpfw. V/IV is a fairly self-sufficient tank and, being at the top of the list, is capable of single-handedly confronting several enemies. Has excellent dynamics. Weak armor and a mediocre gun are compensated by maneuverability, which allows the enemy to drive into the stern or side. Some of the advantages of the gun include fast aiming and comfortable air guns. For difficult situations in combat, the Pz.V/IV is equipped with sub-caliber projectiles with a penetration of 158 mm.

TTX

Booking

The tank has a hull from a Panther and a turret from a PzKpfw IV, which could be a good combination for Tier 5, if not for the frequent failure of modules and the incapacitation of crew members after hitting the turret. In addition, full damage from high-explosive artillery shells often occurs there.

In capable hands, this car will bring pleasure from the game, earn silver and help upgrade the crew for German STs. In addition, it has a preferential level of battles.

French artillery 105 leFH18B2

The only self-propelled gun in the game that has received the status of premium vehicle.

It has now been taken out of sale, but, as always, there is still hope for the promotion that Wargaming will still stuff it into some kind of (not cheap) set.

It has an excellent visibility of 390 meters and a high rate of fire. Fast reloading compensates for small one-time damage, weak armor penetration and small radius of scattering fragments.

Booking

It is worth noting that the 105 leFH18B2 has pretty good armor for a self-propelled gun, which will reduce the damage received from enemy artillery and will not allow it to penetrate some light tanks.

It is also worth considering that the 105 leFH18B2 has a full level of combat.

In-game store

Now let’s move on to getting to know the tanks available for purchase at any time of the day. Our top two heavy tanks open.

First of all, they stand out because they have a preferential level of battles, i.e. do not get into battles with 7 levels.

Firepower

Churchill III is a leader in almost all indicators and has truly colossal potential for damage caused per minute. Excelsior, in turn, has much more comfortable vertical gun pointing angles, which makes it less dependent on the terrain.

Let's look at the features of the guns

Churchill III has a much higher penetration rate with a sub-caliber projectile, which will allow you to easily deal with heavy Tier 6 tanks, but unlike the Excelsior, it does not have land mines in its ammunition.

The Excelsior's one-time damage is higher, but the Churchill III can deal more damage per minute due to its better rate of fire. The accuracy of both weapons leaves much to be desired, but this is quite enough for combat at medium and close ranges.

Other indicators

Excelsior is more mobile and maneuverable, but has a smaller safety margin. But in terms of protection, Churchill has superiority in frontal hull armor, but is inferior in turret armor.

Booking

Thus, Churchill III feels more confident on the front line, especially if the hull is tightened. The main nuance remains the weak armor of the turret of both tanks, which can be penetrated even by enemies of the same level without any problems.

British medium tank Matilda Black Prince

Three STs with a preferential level of battles are vying for second place:

Among them, the Matilda BP stands out for its good penetration of armor-piercing shells, has quite comfortable high explosives, fast reloading and has the maximum average damage per minute.

The gun is the main trump card of the tank

For a situation where it is necessary to drag out the battle, sub-caliber shells with a penetration of 180 mm are available, which is more than enough for 6 and even more so 5 levels.

Matilda BP has good armor for a medium tank, but it pays for it with weak dynamics and mediocre visibility.

Booking

Despite the fact that this tank has gained the mobility of a heavy armored vehicle, the situation is still not encouraging:

In the frontal projection, the tank has practically no armor slopes, so there is nothing to talk about the reduction indicators. The sides are protected by a 25 mm screen, which can sometimes absorb damage from cumulative and land mines. The best option for tanking is to position the vehicle in a steep diamond shape, then there is a chance of catching ricochets.

In general, when playing Matilda BP, you should not rely on armor, but rather rely on an effective weapon. It is due to its good weapons that we chose this tank as the best of those listed, because less gold dependence is the key to successful farming.

German ST Pz.Kpfw. T 25 and Japanese ST Type 3 Chi-Nu Kai

In third place are two medium tanks with a full level of combat. Let's look at their firepower:

Both tanks have at their disposal guns with good potential average damage per minute, comfortable UVN and high rate of fire. The Japanese gun goes down a little worse, but has less spread and faster aiming.

Aiming time and accuracy allow for mid to long range play. Penetration by gold shells is enough for battles with 7 levels, if you aim weak areas or drive into the side or rear.
Both tanks have virtually no armor, but have good stealth and good mobility.

At the top of the list, they will give owners pleasure from the game and earnings of silver, but are more suitable for experienced players who have already understood the mechanics of the game. For beginners, tanks with a preferential level of combat are preferable.

Three factors to consider when choosing a Tier 5 premium tank

To summarize, I would like to highlight several points that are decisive when choosing a premium tank:

1. Skill level. When choosing a tank with low armor penetration, you need to know the vulnerabilities of other tanks in order to inflict damage on them in battle. First of all, this applies to vehicles with a preferential level of combat.
2. Economy. It is necessary to understand that in addition to gold/real money for purchasing equipment, you will then also need to spend money on installing the equipment. Here lies one of the nuances - the difference in the cost of equipment for medium and heavy tank. For example, on ST we install the following set: optics / stereo tube / aiming drives - 500,000; gun rammer - 200,000; ventilation - 150,000 and it turns out that a total of 850,000 silver is needed. Calculation for TT: the first module will cost the same amount and the rammer will cost the same amount, but ventilation will already cost 500,000, which is 350,000 silver more expensive. In addition, on some CTs, in order to save money, you can get by with a camouflage net for ambush tactics, but on TTs it will be useless.
