Best and worst tanks by tier and type – worst tier IV medium – UPDATED

There are 11 tier IV mediums (by patch 1.0):

  • T-28
  • Pz.Kpfw. III
  • Pz.Kpfw. IV
  • VK 20.01 (D)
  • M3 Lee
  • Grant
  • Matilda
  • Type 1 Chi-He
  • Lago
  • SARL 42
  • ST vz. 39

You can see which one I think is the best here. But what about the worst? It used to be the M3 Lee a while ago, and when World of tanks introduced the British Grant tank in patch 9.5, we got a new worst tier IV medium tank for a while. It is very similar to the M3 Lee, but the mobility is a little bit worse, and you need good mobility and traverse speed in a medium without a turret. However, there is a new kid on the block, and that is the SARL 42. It has really nothing  going for it. No armor, no speed, and horrible damage per minute. I recently played through it, and kept asking “Why?!?!?”

Some might argue that the Type 1 Chi-He is even worse, with it’s lousy accuracy, but at least it has got a turret and fantastic gun depression.

Pros:

  • It is not the slowest tank in the game

Cons:

  • Eveything

This is what an Ace tanker game in this tank looks like:
