Wot which level 8 tank is better. The best level TT8 is T32. And I will prove it to you. Tank cost: not sold separately. Can be purchased with the opening of the promotion

The main function of a light tank is to detect the enemy and transmit data about his location to the allies. Therefore, one of the most necessary qualities for a light tank is the viewing range. To quickly detect the enemy, a light tank must have a very high speed. High speed will allow a light tank to occupy advantageous combat positions in the middle of the battle map from its very first minutes.

Based on all these tactical tasks, the best Tier 8 light tank is Ru 251. This tank has a maximum speed of 80 kilometers per hour, which allows it to be behind enemy lines from the first minutes of the battle. Sometimes the outcome of a battle is decided by artillery, and its early detection makes it possible to predetermine the result of a duel. Tank Ru 251 has weak, like all light tanks, armor. But with its cannon, just like medium tanks, it can penetrate up to 190 millimeters of enemy armor, while causing damage up to 230 units. Combined with the tank's low profile, this gun allows it to actively fire from ambush.

Best Tier 8 Medium Tank

The main task of a medium tank is to maintain the attack, as well as to detect the enemy. For such tasks, maximum visibility from the cab is required. The best such tank at level 8 is the American T 69 tank. It has a sight range of 400 meters.

Medium tanks need to support allied heavy tanks. Lacking thick armor, they can flank the enemy and fire into the rear of the tanks. The back of the tanks is always poorly protected. In addition, most tanks have fuel tanks and an engine in it. The T 69 tank has a drum loading method, so it can fire 4 rounds in a row. When breaking through the enemy, he will be able to disable several modules at once.

Best heavy tank tier 8

For heavy tanks, there are two main battle tactics. Defensive and offensive tactics or breakthrough tactics. The role of the best tank at level 8 is shared by two tanks: IS-3 and KT (King Tiger). The King Tiger is a very slow tank, but has better armor and is suitable for long-range defensive combat. The IS-3 has good driving characteristics combined with thick turret armor. But its inaccurate gun and slow reload speed make it only suitable for close combat.

As an introductory word - why I took TT8 for the first comparison.

1. They are completed by a lot of players
2. They do not participate in companies and HF

Those. compares 98.7% alcohol piano random.

Notes:
1. Slippers-I did not take. He didn't score.
2. The people who gave me this data secretly conveyed the wishes of the developers not to burn the number of premium tanks. Therefore, all figures will be given relative to the total number of tanks in each class. Let's respect people for their work.

Let's smoke this picture for a start, it will immediately say a lot.

Taken all TT8 and players. Each group is divided by % of wins into 5 parts. So - for crappy players, 80% of the tanks go just as crappy. And not because the tank is bad. For successful players, everything is different, as you can see, even with ultra-inhibitors, the tank may not go, but more often it is the other way around.

This picture shows who drives tanks with varying degrees of success. Those. the graph is reversed to the previous one. Again, 80% of unsuccessful tanks are driven by players from the bottom two groups by % of wins. Comments, I think are unnecessary.

These two graphs were brought in to eliminate the subjective "here I am, but this is a trough" from the perception of the tank.

Let's move on to the objective. What tanks do players in each group prefer?


The tops have no obvious preferences, in the middle the Is-3 is a little in the lead, the foam does not like CT and T32 in vain, but gravitates towards premiums.

Let's look at the back picture


For some reason, losers love the KV-5 and ignore the T32 with CT.

Now - how successful tanks are distributed inside themselves by% of victories on them.


In addition to CT and T32, the pictures are the same. 50% rides below 47%, 70-75% below 50%. CT is a little better, but the T-32 is almost a guarantee of success!

But that's not all.


This is the dependence of % of tank victories on the number of battles. Why do I find myself in the kinks open new tank? Because success keeps growing and growing, then it goes down. Clearly good players stop playing it? Why stop? Downloading a new tank.

The graph shows that all premiums are better than IS-3 and worse than T32 on average, but worse than all TT8s at full pumping points. And despite the fact that CT looks better than the IS-3 in structure, it is pumped a little slower. However, it is possible that the fact that players accumulated experience on the E-75 made the maximum CT flatter, because it slightly extended the number of battles on it in the top.

And in conclusion: What tanks didn't go for the top players?


By and large, these are premiums with a prominent Lion and Duck + IS-3. To a lesser extent, this is the winner of our T32 review.

Continued to follow.

Saved

And so we crept up to the 8th level of the best tanks in World of Tanks, we have already examined quite a few tanks that have good dynamics, speed, armor, but as you yourself understand, with each level something greatly increases and is taken away in the same way.

Tier 8 tanks are of great importance since it is generally accepted that tier 8 tanks are the best tanks in terms of many indicators and balancing. We have played all available tanks and with great confidence we can make bold statements about their distribution.

As in previous topics, our and your opinions may be different, write in the comments and we will consider these proposals. By tradition, we will divide tanks into classes and highlight the most convenient and versatile combat vehicles.

Light tanks

A lot has changed in recent times when the AMX 13 90 was among the best, but this moment the situation has changed dramatically, because the drum does not bring the desired role, and good armor begins to play a role. So the best tier 8 light tank is the M 41 Walker Bulldog and HWK 12, because it has the versatility and versatility, which I can say is a fast, good gun, what a good light tank needs. Their values ​​are impressive, the weapon goes down with a value of -10 and goes up by +15 and +20, respectively.

Second place black bulldog lightweight, though not so good at holding blows, the weapon descends with a value of -8 and rises with +17.

medium tanks

We have already come to the middle class of tanks, where our choice coincides with the taste of most players. And you guessed it, the best tier 8 mid-range tank is the T-44, which is so versatile and so good at everything.

Almost every battle we managed to increase our effectiveness to the maximum, the tank allowed us to radically change the overall game situation and just allowed to achieve a lot. Compared to other similar combat vehicles, the T-44 is versatile and easy to use in any combat situation.

Heavy tanks

Since the majority of the players voted for the IS-3, it will be the best heavy tank. This tank is very versatile, and versatility means a lot of possibilities, and unlimited uses in any battle. It is fast, powerful, armored tank and very comfortable. Since he does not have big pros and cons, he received the title of the best.

tank destroyer

It was quite difficult to make your choice in terms of tank destroyers, since the equipment on given level development has amazed us every time with its originality and possibilities. But it is necessary to make a choice, so we decided to focus on the Soviet tank destroyer called ISU-152, and all thanks to its lethal weapon.

Yes, there was a good alternative in the form of the German Rhm.-Borsig Waffenträger, but we didn’t really like this unit, so we preferred to pay our attention exclusively to the Soviet version of the combat vehicle. This tank allowed us to pull out the most difficult battles, sometimes withstood a shot from powerful guns and very often blew up the ammunition racks of our opponents. Universal this tank you can’t name it, but in terms of convenience and application, it clearly occupies a leading position.

ACS

What can I say about the artillery, the choice was the M40 / M43, as a nimble machine, accurate compared to all artillery based on this level.

We didn't like the other settings very much, because they did not offer us a cardinal solution to problems, had serious negative aspects, and sometimes did not live up to our expectations. Therefore, the American representative is the best suited for the top position of the effectiveness of this technique.

So we sorted out the equipment of level 8 and tried to choose the best option convenience, efficiency and good use among all tanks. We have tested every level 8 of all the available nations of each class and have tested far more than a dozen battles, so we can safely enlist our choice and discuss our decisions with you. The technique that made it to our top allowed us to win more often, to emerge victorious from the most the most difficult situations, and even the level of efficiency has always been sufficient for high level. Isn't this an indicator of the tank's excellent performance?

Yes, a lot depends on the situation in battle, but each vehicle had both light and difficult fights, where it was possible to determine what a particular tank was capable of. Therefore, you should not look for a catch in our choice and just personally play on each of these vehicles, and if you have time, you can personally ride on all 8 levels and already get an idea about this pinnacle of tank development.

This article is a brief overview-opinion, listing the pros and cons, such as the profitability of premium WoT tanks, armor, speed, etc. This is a mini-reference guide for those who don't really like to scour the forum and topics in order to find the necessary information, but like to look at everything in one place. To understand which tier 8 premium tank is better to buy, you need to study in more detail all the advantages and disadvantages of a particular model.

KV-5

Soviet premium, and now gift, heavy tank. In the past it cost 7500 . Perhaps the most controversial Tier 8 premium tank.

Tank pros

• Excellent circular armor. It allows you to hold even the blows of guns of 9 levels, less often 10. The only weak points are the tower of the radio operator and the commander, but how to deal with this, I will tell later.
• High speed. For a 100-ton steel monster, this is a very high parameter. “Maniacs immediately understood what it meant,” said Kirill Oreshkin. The KV-5 is especially formidable when rammed. It literally crushes most small tanks, while removing most of the strength or even destroying it. In conjunction with additional equipment and skills can take no damage at all.
• High DPM. The KV-5 gun has a high rate of fire and with a 100% crew it can deliver 2100 potential damage per minute.
• Cheap ammunition. Armor-piercing shells cost a penny - 270 kr/piece. Therefore, you can not be afraid to shoot a lot. After the battle, I often have only a third of the ammunition left.

• Weak penetration of the 167 mm gun. At first glance, this looks funny, but it's not. How to deal with it? Option two. The first is to shoot golden ammo. But what then is a farm? He brought 30,000, spent 50,000 on shells. Even level 10 earns more. The second is to choose softer targets and aim at weak spots. In my opinion, the second one is much better. In battle there are always tanks of the same level as you and even less. And then 167 mm penetration is enough. Don't forget about the high DPM: while the enemy fires one shot, we fire three. But this is figurative, of course.
• Armor vulnerabilities. Most often, the enemy aims at the radio operator's turret. It is huge and easy to get into. Therefore, you need to learn how to hide it. The best option is to drive up to the corner of the building with a rhombus. Then the turret will be almost invisible and the projectile that hit it will most likely ricochet. I won’t talk about the commander’s turret, because you can’t hide it around the corner.

Note: We do not consider such shortcomings as poor visibility or a weak radio, since we are a breakthrough tank, and not a firefly or tank destroyer. We go ahead, pushing through the defenses and helping the allies.

Gag: like any tank, the KV-5 is not without flaws, but its merits did not let us down. Therefore, having played >700 battles on the tank, I can say with confidence: the tank is very, very good. Pulls on a solid 4 plus. Although, many players speak negatively about the tank, saying that it does not penetrate, slow, dull. This is not true. In addition, playing on a tank teaches you to target pain points, not to go on the rampage, in a word, the KV-5 is an excellent “rectifier” of hands. Ride the KV-5, and then transfer to some kind of IS-4 or KV-3. Feel how dramatically improved your driving skills. You need to get used to the tank and, perhaps, it will take more than one hundred battles.

Lowe

German premium heavy tank. Price 12500 . Currently available for purchase in the in-game and premium store.

Tank pros

• An excellent 10.5 cm KwK 46 L/70 gun in many respects. First, it has amazing accuracy. The spread is only 0.33 cm/100 m. This definitely makes it possible to play in the style of a tank destroyer. But more on that later. Secondly, excellent penetration. The armor-piercing projectile has a penetration of 234 mm, to say nothing of sub-caliber ones. We can hit any target up to level 10 at any range. Thirdly, a relatively good rate of fire of 5 rounds per minute. There are tanks that have a couple of seconds less loading time, but this difference is not always noticeable.
• Excellent visibility at 400 meters. Another great bonus. Löwe does not always need lighting, it can shine on its own if necessary. Therefore, if we shine opponents, then in addition we get credits and experience.
• Well armored turret. The gun mask occupies the entire frontal projection of the turret and almost always eats shells from enemy guns.
• Large tank weight. A huge mass of 90 tons with a little allows you to successfully use a ram.

• Weak armor. Although the tank has a sloping forehead, it practically does not catch shells. Also, a huge NLD is visible in the forehead. It is not difficult to penetrate it for any tanks, starting from level 5-6. The main Achilles heel of our tank. It is worth taking into account and learning how to hide this vulnerability. Plus, getting into it can cause engine damage, since the transmission is located in front. The side armor has no slopes, so it is very easy to break through it.
• Low speed and mobility. Although the tank’s performance characteristics indicate that the maximum speed is 35 km / h, you can hardly develop it. The tank crawls like a turtle, squeezing out about 17-20 km / h. Plus, the agility of the tank is low, so fast deployment is not about Löwe.

Gag: “And if the E-50 is a mobile anti-tank gun with a turret, then Löwe is rather an anti-mobile anti-tank gun with a turret,” the words of Kirill Oreshkin. It really is. Therefore, if you are not a fan of dynamic battles and like to sit in the bushes more, then Löwe is what you need. Playing this tank is not so easy. He loses to many of his classmates in terms of armor and this nullifies his effectiveness as a heavy tank. However, the gun does not know non-penetration, therefore, the words “Did not penetrate!” you rarely hear. Note: The shells for the Löwe gun are very expensive - more than 1000 credits per piece. Therefore, endlessly pouring fire, as the KV-5 can do, Löwe does badly.

8.8 cm Pak 43 Jagdtiger

German premium tank destroyer. Can be purchased from the in-game store. Price 10000 . Currently withdrawn from sale.

Tank pros

• Magnificent tool. It has amazing accuracy - only 0.31cm/100m! More precisely, only the E-50M shoots us. The gun is reduced in 2 seconds. You can even do without pickup drives. We get the enemy at any distance, while remaining unnoticed. Also 8.8 cm PaK 43 L/71 Ausf. A has an excellent rate of fire - 11.11 rounds per minute, which is about a little over 2600 damage. This is enough to destroy any tank. In addition to all this, the gun has a high penetrating ability. The AP shell penetrates 203 mm of armor, the sub-caliber shell is a little more - only 237 mm. We punch in the forehead of any opponents without exception. The only exceptions are a couple of machines, but with our accuracy it is possible to target vulnerable spots with success. And if the question arises, which lvl 8 premium is better to take, based on the performance of the gun, then this tank will be a good choice.
• Excellent cutting armor - 250 mm. The 8.8 cm PaK 43 Jagdtiger completely adopted the hull from its older brother, but given the reduced level of combat, we are not penetrated more often than a regular Jagdtiger. This is an undeniable plus.

Minuses

• Weak agility. Spinning the Jagdtiger is a matter of a minute. Therefore, close combat is contraindicated for this tank.
• Big sizes. We are very vulnerable to artillery and feel insecure on open area. 8,8 cm PaK 43 Jagdtiger, like its older brother, is great in urban battles, where you can hide vulnerable spots and take cover from self-propelled guns.
• Weakly armored NLD and front transmission. Try to hide this Achilles' heel, as getting into it is fraught with engine failure or fire.
• Weakly armored sides. Another one of our vulnerabilities. We are pierced by any guns, plus there is an ammunition rack in the sides. When hit in the BC, it often detonates.

P.S: I don’t consider such a flaw as a small one-time damage, since we have the highest rate of fire and DPM, and this more than pays for a small alpha strike.

Gag: 8,8 cm PaK 43 Jagdtiger is a universal tank destroyer that literally can do anything. Combines TT-PT style. In use it is often used as a "heavy tank without a turret". The tasks are the same - pushing directions, supporting allies. This tank destroyer is especially effective in a platoon with a heavy or medium tank. You don't have to worry about being flanked. The 8.8 cm PaK 43 Jagdtiger can take direction alone. The high density of fire will not allow the enemy to advance far. But keep in mind, we have a chance to survive at long, less often - medium distances. In close combat, we are almost guaranteed to lose to the enemy. It is especially worth being wary of LT and ST like AMX 13 90, T71, T-54.

M6A2E1

Nicknamed "Goose" or "Duck" for its characteristic profile, this American heavy tank is rarer than other Tier 8 premium tanks in World of Tanks. Currently available in the gift shop. Its own price is 7500 .

Tank pros

• Good frontal armor. Although the armor plates are located almost at a right angle, they can catch shells, but most likely they will not save you from guns of 9-10 levels. Such armor with a thickness of 191 mm in the forehead holds shells of guns of levels 7-8 well.
• Good vertical aiming angles. This advantage allows you to shoot from behind the folds of the terrain and target the vulnerabilities of opponents in the clinch.
• Availability of screens. They allow you to partially absorb the damage of high-explosive shells.
• Big ammunition.
• Large mass of the tank. You can successfully use a ram.
• Its exclusivity is also a plus. Inexperienced players rarely encounter this tank in battle and know little about its vulnerabilities. However, it is worth noting that in recent times the number of M6A2E1s in random battles has increased dramatically.

Minuses

• Large dimensions. We are extremely vulnerable to artillery. The roof is very fond of absorbing damage from high-explosive shells. Therefore, playing in open areas is contraindicated for the M6A2E1.
• Mediocre tool. It has poor accuracy and average penetration. Due to getting into high-level battles, it makes sense to use gold ammunition, which negatively affects the earning of credits. Mediocre accuracy will also not allow you to fight enemies at long distances. The best combat distance is close, less often medium.
• Low speed. The M6A2E1 is not a very mobile tank. Therefore, a quick change of direction and deployment is not about him.

Gag: The M6A2E1 is a very interesting vehicle. At first glance, it may seem that all its shortcomings overlap its advantages. But it's not. Despite the weak gun and large dimensions, the tank is strong. According to the style of application - universal. Most often it is used as a breakthrough tank or direction defender. Due to high-level battles, the farm on it is relatively low, so this tank cannot be categorized as the most farmable premium tank 8 levels. Now he is more of an exhibit than a credit farmer. It makes sense to buy it just for the sake of the collection. The M6A2E1 requires skillful driving, so only experienced players can unleash its full combat potential.

FCM50t

French heavy tank. Can be purchased from the in-game store for 11900 .

Tank pros

• An excellent 90 mm DCA 45 gun with good accuracy, penetration, and rate of fire. The spread is only 0.36cm/100m, which is quite typical for French guns. The rate of fire is 8 rounds per minute. This is 1 shot more than the KV-5, but the FCM 50t is inferior in terms of DPM Soviet tank(1920 vs 2100). The potential damage per shot is 240 HP, which is not a very serious indicator at levels 8-9. Penetration of the AP shell is 212 mm.
• Large ammo and cheap shells. In this we are also similar to the KV-5. Ammunition is 91 rounds. The cost of the projectile is 255kr/pc. This is even less than the KV-5 shells. Therefore, do not be afraid to shoot a lot and often.
• Excellent dynamic performance. The FCM 50t accelerates from 0 to 50 km/h in a relatively short time and does not drop much when cornering.
• Excellent visibility at 400 meters. This is an excellent indicator at its level. The tank can conduct passive light tactics.

Minuses

• Mediocre booking. 120mm + 45 degree angle is equivalent to 170mm of armor at a right angle. We are pierced by any tanks, starting from level 7. Therefore, when meeting with tanks of 8-9 levels, you should be extremely careful.
• Low margin of safety - only 1500 units. Given our armor, we can't afford to lose that durability.
• Long body. It complicates our maneuvers in urban environments and is very vulnerable to self-propelled gun fire.

Gag: FCM 50t combines the characteristics of heavy and medium tank and and tank destroyers. The style of use of the tank is very diverse and versatile. So, if you are equally good at playing both heavy and medium tanks, then the FCM 50t is what you need. Despite all its merits, the FCM 50t is not very easy to drive. Due to mediocre armor and large dimensions, the tank requires the utmost attention and accurate play.

Tank pros

• Strong frontal armor. 100 mm of armor at a large slope make it possible to confidently withstand gun strikes with penetration up to 175-180 mm inclusive.
• Sturdy cast tower. Her armor 200/130/60 is located at wild angles of inclination, so it is extremely difficult to break through it. Vulnerabilities are only the turrets of the commander and loader, however, while the enemy is aiming them, the tank manages to deal damage.
• Good speed. 56 km/h is the best indicator on the level. The Type 59 is the fastest medium tank of its tier. He is able to quickly break through to key points and hold them.
• The 100 mm Type 59 gun has good one-time damage, rate of fire and penetration, but long aiming and a decent dispersion of 39 cm/100 m. However, it is worth remembering that the Type 59 is a melee tank, and at short distances the gun performs very well. The main task of the tank is to support the allies and hold key positions, but being a sniper is hardly possible. When in contact with the enemy, it is always necessary to get closer. If the enemy breaks the distance, then it always plays against the Type 59.
• Low silhouette. The Type 59 has identical hull and turret shapes to the T-54. The low silhouette allows you to hide the car well and arrange ambushes.

• Mediocre dynamics. Although the tank has high speed, the dynamics of the Type 59 is rather weak. It cannot also successfully spin the enemy, as the T-54 does. The speed of the tank drops sharply on turns, so the enemy, if he does not kill the Chinese, will already remove most of the durability, which is so important for the Type 59. 59. To some extent, this minus can be compensated by installing equipment ("Twisted speed controller" or "Quality oil"), but do not expect that the dynamics in this case will soar to the parameters of the Soviet comrade, which became the prototype for the Type 59 in real life. It will give only a small increase, which you just need to be able to use correctly and on time.
• Vulnerable ammo. It is located along both sides of the tank. Hitting the side will often cause it to crit or detonate. So exposing the board to Type 59 fire is contraindicated.
• Bad tank position. It is located immediately behind the frontal armor. Therefore, breaking through the forehead can be fraught with fire, and this must be remembered
• Small gun ammo. The Type 59 can only carry 34 rounds. Given the high rate of fire, at the end of the battle there is hardly a quarter of the ammunition left. Thoughtless shooting is not welcome, as you can be left without shells by the middle of the battle. P.S: Type 59 is an excellent collector of Fadin's medals.

The Type 59 is very easy to learn and pleasant to drive, it forgives many mistakes for inexperienced tankers.

The profitability table is taken from the forum.

Well, we cannot but rejoice at your activity in the latest issue of „ . By popular demand, this time we will plunge into level 8 and see what will help us raise the statistics or how not to go into the red.
Indeed, tier 8 tanks can be called the zero line. The fact is that they farm weakly, and if you lose, you can even go into the red. This is where it is important to choose the right unit, on which you will have a better chance of winning. I want to say right away that level 8 is very demanding on crew perks, not to mention equipment. Sometimes a tank in stock is just a dull scrap metal, but in the top configuration, it tears and flies.
Pardon my digression, let's get down to the facts.
As always, we start the analysis with heavy tanks.

Heavy tanks

medium tanks

Light tanks

tank destroyer

Well, in the meantime, we are approaching final class our game at level 8. Of course, these are everyone's favorite (possibly in quotation marks) self-propelled guns. Who will be the leader?

Well, I'm coming to the end of our review. I hope I was able to convey to you the complexity of choosing tanks at this level. Once again I want to make a reservation that the figures at the time of publication of the article may differ slightly from reality. Write your wish, what level of technology you would like to see next time.

And I wish you success on the battlefields and see you again.
