Best and worst tanks by tier and type – best tier VII medium

There are 11 tier VII medium tanks in World of tanks (by patch 9.20):

  • A-44
  • Comet
  • Konstrukta T-34/100
  • KV-13
  • Leo
  • Panther
  • T-34-1
  • Type T-43
  • T20
  • Type 5 Chi-Ri
  • VK 30.03 (D)

Note: I have not played hte T-34-1, but I believe this would not have won here, anyway.

There is a lot of variety here, and the play style differs accordingly. Some have punchy guns with good alpha damage, others have pea guns, some have a bit of armor, others have paper thin armor. Some are slow and some are fast and agile. Continue reading

Equipment for medium tanks

I have covered equipment for heavy tanks, for tank destroyers and for light tanks and artillery earlier. Now, it’s time for medium tanks. It is kind of difficult to choose one set of equipment for all medium tanks, both because not all tanks can fit all equipment, and because it depends on your play style. But I’ll give it a try.

  1. First: If your tank can fit a vertical stabilizer, use it. Your gun will be much more accurate, and your aim time will decrease. However not all medium tanks can fit one.
  2. All medium tanks can fit ventilation, and it is a good all round equipment to fit.

These two are easy to choose. But what about the rest? Here, I can only suggest you choose from the following:

  • Coated optics, which increase your view range by 10%, to give you an advantage compared to especially heavy tanks.
  • Or you could choose binocular telescope. I have mounted them on my Cromwell, and it works quite well, especially in the beginning of a match.
  • A gun rammer will come in handy, to reduce your loading time by 10%.
  • Last, you can also consider an enhanced gun laying drive, especially on some russian mediums with a long aim time, like the A-44.
  • On a lightly armored medium you may actually find that a camo net can be useful, be not very often, since mobility is a strength that medium tanks should take advantage of.
