A few words about this blog

I have been writing here – on and off – for allmost two years now. Up until November 2015 the number of page views where quite low. But from December 2015 the number of visitors have increased, week by week and month by month.

The most popular pages are the best/worst tanks pages, but it also seems that this blog has a slowly increasing google rank. Which is nice.

I really hope that you, the readers, find the information here useful. Please write a comment if there are anything special you would like me to write about.

Best and worst tanks by tier and type – best tier VII heavy tank

There are nine tier VI heavy tanks (by patch 9.15):

• IS
• KV-3
• Tiger (P)
• Tiger I
• T29
• AMX M4 mle. 45
• Black Prince
• IS-2 (the chinese tank, not the russian premium)
• O-NI

Note: I have not yet played the O-NI or the AMX. But I am quite confident none of them are best in class, so it will not affect the verdict.

I am a bit strange, I guess, because I really enjoyed the KV-3. It is a nightmare when it is bottom tier, but when it is top tier in a city map it can be a monster. I might even like it more than the IS, which may be a better tank, all things considered. So in my personal opinion the KV-3 is the Russian candidate. I bought the “Berlin quartet”, so I have the IS-2 (russian premium tier VII heavy tank) in my garage. But was the KV-3 good enough to keep? No, I sold it once I unlocked the KV-4. (If I had had another Russian heavy tank crew, I might have kept it.)

The two German tanks are quite similar, but the Tiger I is in my opinion better than the Tiger (P). The armor on the Tiger I is not the best, but the gun is great, and the damage per minute is best in class. I have kept the Tiger I, but that is partly because I grinded it at the same time as I grinded the Tiger (P). The Tiger (P) was sold quickly and the crew moved on to the Tiger II.

The T29 has a lot going for it. The strength of the turret is legendary, and the gun is also pretty good, even if the gun on the Tiger I is better. I have kept the T29 and will keep it.

The Black Prince is a piece of shit, because of the gun. Low penetration and low alpha damage. In addition it is very slow. The turret is quite strong, but is easy the flank it, and get the side of the hull.

The Chinese IS-2 is almost the same as the IS, but the gun handling is worse because of worse gun depression and gun elevation. It also has less hull armor. The IS is definitely better.

So, which one is the best?

Some people play WOT too much.

“Doom turtle”

The T95 is the slowest tank in the game, and it’s nick name is “Doom turtle”. Here is a live one?

Best and worst tanks by tier and type – best tier III light tank

There are fourteen tier III light tanks  (by patch 9.14):

• BT-7
• T-46
• T-70
• Pz. Kpfw. 38 (t)
• Pz. Kpfw. I Ausf. C
• Pz. Kpfw. II Ausf. G
• M3 Stuart
• AMX 38
• Cruiser Mk. II
• Cruiser Mk. IV
• Stuart I-IV
• (Cz10) LT vz38
• Type 2597 Chi-Ha
• Type 98 Ke-Ni

None of these get matchmaking as scout tanks. When I started to write this post, I noticed it would be difficult to argue for my choice. There are a lot of good tanks here, actually. As I have mentioned, I’m doing a reroll to experience these tanks without having decent crews. I noticed very fast that many of these are fun to play.
