Best and worst tanks by tier and type – UPDATED

Here, I will try to say something sensible about which tanks are best and worst, by tier and type. These will be my personal opinions. I will focus on the tanks I have or have had myself. There will be separate posts linking to this page, so you will see links (trackback/pingback) below as soon as I have published the different posts. Click on the links (Pingbacks) below to find the best / worst tanks.

If you disagree with me, I would appreciate a comment, where you explain why. Since play style will affect how you evaluate a tank, this might explain a difference of opinion?

I will focus on the three types of tanks I play the most: Tank destroyers, heavy tanks and medium tanks. I will not include premium tanks.

I will only cover tanks up to tier VII here, not tier VIII and above. On demand, I will cover tanks from tier I to III as well, but I am not sure if it is worth the effort, since most players will play thorugh these (grind them) in a day or two.
