Best and worst tanks by tier and type – worst tier VI heavy

There are eight tier VI heavy tanks in WOT (patch 9.14):

  • KV-2
  • KV-85
  • T-150
  • VK 36.01 (H)
  • M6
  • ARL 44
  • Churchill VII
  • O-I

The Churchill is to slow to do any of those things.

Note: I have not yet played the O-I, so it will be kept “out of the equation” for now, so to speak.

There are several good tanks here. In fact, only the Churchill is bad / very bad. Some might claim that the VK 36.01 is rather weak, but it actually has almost as good armor as it’s bigger brother, the Tiger I.

The KV-2 has the (in-)famous derp gun, and is sort of a different beast than the others. Therefore it is kind of difficult to compare it with the others, but it is perhaps the funniest one to play.  Continue reading
