Best and worst tanks by tier and type – best AND worst tier III heavy tank

There are only one tier III heavy tank in the game by patch 9.13:

• Type 91 heavy

So, what’s it like? For a heavy tank, the rate of fire is very, very high, by 27 rounds per minute. The penetration is ok, when it’s not bottom tier in the match, so the damage per minute is quite high, by 1909. However, it’s got thinner armor than the tier III Japanese medium tank (Type 97 Chi-Ha). So it’s quite the opposite of the Matilda, which is actually a heavy tank classified as a medium. The Type 91 is a slow medium classified as a heavy.

Pros:

• High damage per minute
• You won’t have to play it many matches to grind it
• If you have the patience to play this tank for some matches after you have unlocked the next one, your crew will benefit from this, since the rest of the line are all heavy tanks

Cons:

• Paper thin armor for a heavy tank
• Noe a very precise gun
• Very slow
• Weak engine

I guess an Ace tanker could be quite easy to achieve on this one. This match is a good one, with some lucky shots now and then:

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

There are five tier III tank destroyers in WOT, as of patch 9.9:

• SU-76
• Marder II
• T82
• Renault UE 57
• Valentine AT

These are not very different tanks, but they to vary, of course. Picking the best might be a bit difficult, since they are all ok, maybe except the Valentine. Both the T82 and the Marder have a lot of fans, but I actually mean the Renault UE 57 is the best. The armor on these things is not a topic to discuss, since they will meet tier V tanks from time to time. The T82 can mount a derp gun, but my verdict is based on its 57 mm gun. With that gun it is quite similar to the UE 57, but the UE has a better camo rating, and with these vehicles you need to hide.

Pros:

• Decent gun
• Good camo rating
• High rate of fire, and high DPM.

Cons:

• No armor
• Very bad hull traverse
• Narrow gun arc

You have to use stealth with this tank. Stay hidden, and shoot at what your allies spot. I recommend you get clutch breaking on the driver, sixth sense on the commander, snap shot on your gunner and camouflage on the rest of your crew. You should also choose camouflage as the second skill on all of your crew.

My best game with the UE got me 8 kills. This is how 14 kills look like. Note the camo rating!
