Best Tanks

ill do best to give actual reasons why instead of being like "its OP because it is, if u dont think so too, ur stupid," but im biased toward Swedish things anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

1: Strv m/41 S-II

it has access to a sabot APDS round that can pen a stupid amount of armor, the reload is broken, and it has 50mm of armor at a BR where something can get away with having a popgun

• Rank II means it is quite easy to unlock
• 2.7 battle rating is very low
• 50mm frontal armor cant be penetrated at range by most light tanks
• 37mm kan has access to powerful Slpgr m/39 APHE and 3,7 cm slpprj m/49 sabots that penetrated everything
• 8mm ksp m/22 has good magazine size, but has subpar velocity

good light tank, but a bit slow

2: Sherman III/IV

This is essentially a premium M4A3 with a sealed off MG port, and an M4A2 turret. The only reason that it sits at a lower BR is that it has no T45 HVAP or a .50 caliber freedom dispenser. This is still a questionable rebalance though for essentially losing a machine gun and a round you'll never use in exchange for more armor, better teammates,(compared to American ones, italian Composito players are demons),and a BR where it clubs everything

• Rank III premium, unlockable whenever, but costs actual money
• Armor of a 4.0 tank, turret from a 4.0 tank, firepower of a 4.0 tank, sits at 3.7
• UFP is a 63mm thick piece of steel,(but feels like tungsten), sloped at 47 degrees, so impenetrable that way, but turret armor falls off. Side armor can be pen'd by L3 sooooooo
• 75mm M3 gun has good penetration and a great reload. M61 APCBC has explosive filler and the most penetration of any round.
• .30 caliber M1919A4 has little use, but can hit-mark things :D

good rank 3 premium and worth every cent I spent on it

3: PT-76B

a soviet amphibious bote tank, with two-plane stab, cardboard armor, and HEAT-FS. This thing is 100% a demon, but it has atrocious mobility for a light tank. Worth mentioning it's in 3 countries, but the Chinese one lacks a stabilizer and idc about it so it doesnnt get representation

• Late Rank III placement in the USSR and Swedish trees means a month of grinding if you play an hour a day, but managable
• 5.3 BR has consistent downtiers or uptiers, and it feels unfair until 6.0
• armor is so bad that a irl person can walk up to it, kick it a few times, and it will dent
• 76.2mm D-56TS gun has a two-plane stabilization, a 5.3 second reload, and BK-354M HEAT-FS. Literally the most unfair gun at rhe BR I've played
• 7.62mm SGMT machine gun has 3 big magazines, and is perfect as a 7.62mm coaxial. dont expect much

slow but biased boat tank
