The most penetrating gun in the world of tanks. The most penetrating gun in World of Tanks (WoT). The most penetrating weapons

A simple and understandable guide to tank penetration locations in World of Tanks.

Let's figure out where to pierce tanks, which parts of the tank have thin armor. It is not difficult to find out the penetration points of the tank if you know the locations of the modules and the crew. Each combat vehicle has its own vulnerabilities, such as:

• stern,
• board,
• "cheeks".

It is often possible to successfully pierce the “cheeks” of a tank with large-caliber guns.

Vulnerabilities of tanks

If the tank's armor is thick and the projectile's penetration is below this thickness, then the shot will not penetrate the tank. The armor of all vehicles in World of Tanks is of different thickness in different places. Places with the smallest thickness of armor are called weak points (tank penetration points). To know where to penetrate a tank, you need to know where its vulnerabilities with the smallest thickness of protection are. Hitting such places will give the highest chance of breaking through the armor.

Influence of the angle of impact of the projectile on the penetration of the tank

But perhaps the most important thing is not where the projectile will hit the tank, but at what angle the shot will be fired at the tank. In World of Tanks, there is the concept of reduced armor. This means that the penetration coefficient of the projectile is calculated as the difference from the normal equal to 90 degrees from the plane of the armor to the angle of impact of the projectile. This is how the thickness of the armor that the projectile has to go through at the moment of impact is calculated. The angle of impact directly affects the penetration of tanks.

Where to pierce tanks with thick armor

Part of the heavy tanks, such as the IS-4 and Maus, have a high degree of protection. In particular, Maus - a powerful all-round defense. And the IS-4 has a high frontal one. Such tanks can be penetrated with high-explosive fragmentation shells. Alternatively, you can use gold shells from medium or close range. Aiming at highly armored tanks is based on modules and crew, such as

• ammo rack,
• engine,
• gunner,
• charging.

This tactic will allow you to penetrate tanks with a high probability.

Don't forget protruding parts

Each tank has protruding parts on the hull, such as

• driver hatch,
• commander's cupola
• observation window,
• additional tanks.

To successfully penetrate, aim at the protruding parts of the tank. The effectiveness of hitting bulging parts is high, but often these parts of the tank are small in size, so they should be shot at close range.

Punch twice in the same place

Many tank modules presented in World of Tanks have a set amount of damage points (hp). You can damage the module from the first shot. If you see that the projectile successfully penetrated the tank's armor and damaged the module or incapacitated a crew member, shoot in the same place again. A double hit on the same place of the tank guarantees a second penetration of its protection.

Shoot between the hull and tracks

The vulnerabilities of most tanks are hidden under the protection of the hull. But there is a place where a projectile can hit the hull and damage the engine or undermine the ammunition rack. This place is located between the hull and the tracks of the tank. Under the very bottom of the hull, try to shoot a projectile just above the caterpillar so that the shot hits the part of the tank to which the undercarriage is attached. The level of protection there is minimal and almost every shot will end with a penetration of the hull, damage to the module or crew member.

Aim at the gun and under the turret

Very often there is a situation when you have a tank with 100% HP in front of you, and you need to win with less than 25% health points of your own combat vehicle. Shots on the wide part of the tank gun from the side will help here. With a pierced gun, the tank will lose more than half of its combat effectiveness and become an easy target for you. You can find a punched place under the tower. Break through the tank between the hull and the turret. So you jam the rotation of the turret and the tank will not be able to turn the gun in your direction.

Shooting and armor penetration- the most important elements of game mechanics. This article contains information about such game parameters as accuracy, armor penetration and damage.

Accuracy

Accuracy- parameter of the gun, which characterizes its ability to send shells exactly at the target.

The game has two aspects related to accuracy:

scatter shells when firing at 100 meters. Measured in meters. The spread depends on the skill of the gunner. An untrained gunner (50% of the main skill) shoots 25% less accurately than a 100% trained gunner. Mixing time- aiming time, measured in seconds. This is a conditional parameter that was introduced for balancing needs. That is, aiming the gun itself at the target is not enough, it is important to wait for the moment when the aiming circle stops decreasing. Otherwise, the probability of a miss increases dramatically. When the tank moves and the turret and barrel turn, as well as after the shot, the sight "diverges", that is, the aiming circle increases sharply and it is necessary to wait for the aiming again. The convergence time is the time during which the circle of convergence decreases by ~2.5 times, to be precise, by e times (e is a mathematical constant, the base of the natural logarithm is ~2.71).

It is also important to understand that in the game (without installing extraneous modifications) a circle of information is displayed, and not a circle of dispersion - these two circles have completely different diameters and, with very rare exceptions, do not coincide with each other. In fact, the scatter circle is smaller than the aiming circle (by several times) and the aim of the aiming circle in the game is not to display the spread of shells, but to visualize the state of the gun and its gunner, intact, damaged, the gunner is reduced or reduced, he is healthy or shell-shocked, etc. .

How to increase gun accuracy

• Install hardware Improved ventilation
• The Brotherhood of War(approximately +2.5% to accuracy).
• Use equipment that gives +10% to all crew parameters for one battle, including about 5% to accuracy - Doppayek, Chocolate, Cola box, Strong coffee, tea pudding, Improved Diet, Onigiri.

How to speed up aiming

• Set the gun with the highest aiming speed.
• Level up the gunner's main specialty to 100%.
• Install hardware Reinforced pickup drives(+10% Aim Speed).
• Install hardware Vertical stabilizer(-20% to spread when moving the tank and turning the turret).
• Install hardware Improved ventilation(Approximately +2.5% Aim Speed)
• Upgrade the gunner's skill Smooth turn of the tower(-7.5% to turret spread).
• Upgrade the driver's skill Smooth running(-4% to spread when moving a tank).
• Upgrade a skill to all crew members The Brotherhood of War(Approximately +2.5% Aim Speed).
• Use equipment that gives +10% to all crew parameters for one battle, including about 5% to aiming speed Doppayek, Chocolate, Cola box, Strong coffee, tea pudding, Improved Diet, Onigiri.

Auto-guidance

When you press the right mouse button with the sight aimed at the enemy, auto-aiming is turned on. It fixes the barrel of the tank on the center of the enemy vehicle. This allows you not to aim at the eye, but at the same time has a number of significant drawbacks. The fact is that auto-guidance always aims at the center of the silhouette of an enemy tank, ignoring obstacles in the path of fire, as well as the vector and speed of the enemy’s movement. In cases where only part of the enemy’s vehicle is visible in the sight, or when the target is moving and lead is needed, auto-aiming will not only not be useful, but moreover, it guarantees a miss. Auto-guidance does not allow you to target the weak spots of an enemy tank, so it is relatively of little use at high levels of battles with accurate guns and large well-armored tanks.

Auto-aim is commonly used in close combat during active maneuvers and when firing at long range at a stationary enemy.

Auto-guidance is canceled by pressing E (by default) or by pressing the right mouse button again.

Detailed analysis of shooting mechanics

armor penetration

armor penetration- parameter of the gun, which characterizes its ability to penetrate the armor of enemy tanks. It is measured in millimeters and has a spread of ± 25% relative to the average value. It is important to remember that the armor penetration indicated in the performance characteristics is indicated for the armor plate located at an angle of 90 degrees to the direction of the projectile. That is, the slope of the armor is not taken into account, while most tanks have sloped armor, which is much harder to penetrate. Also, the armor penetration indicated in the performance characteristics is indicated at a distance of 100 m, and with increasing distance it decreases (relevant for sub-caliber and armor-piercing shells and not applicable for high-explosive / HESH and cumulative).

Armor

Each tank has a reservation. However, the thickness of the armor is not the same everywhere. It is the thickest in the front. Behind - on the contrary, the thinnest. The roof and bottom of the tank are also very weakly armored. Armor is specified in the following format: frontal armor thickness/side armor thickness/stern armor thickness. And if the armor, for example, is equal to 38/28/28, then a gun with a penetration capacity of 30 mm in the general case will be able to penetrate the stern and side, but not the forehead. Due to the 25% dispersion, the actual penetration of this gun from shot to shot will vary from 22.5 to 37.5 mm.

It should be remembered that when specifying the armor, its slope is not taken into account. For example, the armor of the T-54 is 120 mm, the angle of inclination is 60°, and the normalization of the projectile is 4-5°. With such a slope, the reduced armor thickness will be about 210 mm. However, even the thickest armor has its vulnerabilities. These are various hatches, machine-gun nests, cabins, joints, etc.

Non-penetration and ricochet

Each projectile has its own penetration threshold. And if it is smaller than the armor of an enemy tank, then the projectile will not penetrate it. To do this, it is necessary to aim at the most vulnerable places of the tank: the stern, sides and various ledges and crevices. If this does not help, you can use high-explosive shells.

When shooting at a tank at an angle, there is a high chance of a ricochet. The boundary between penetration and ricochet lies at an angle of 70°. If the caliber of the projectile exceeds the thickness of the armor more than 3 times, the ricochet does not occur, and if it is doubled, the normalization of the projectile increases in proportion to the excess of the caliber of the gun over the thickness of the armor - and the projectile tries to penetrate the armor at any angle. So, for example, when firing from a 100mm gun with 170 armor penetration, at an armor plate 30mm thick at an angle of 89.99 degrees, the normalization will increase to 23.33 degrees, and the reduced armor will be 30/cos(89.99-23.33)= 75.75mm of armor.

Detailed analysis of armor penetration mechanics

Attention! Update 0.8.6 introduces new penetration rules for HEAT shells:

A HEAT projectile can now ricochet when a projectile hits armor at an angle of 85 degrees or more. With a ricochet, tank penetration in World of Tanks of a ricocheted HEAT shell does not drop.

After the first armor penetration, the projectile begins to lose armor penetration at the following rate: 5% of the armor penetration remaining after penetration - per 10 cm of space traversed by the projectile (50% - per 1 meter of free space from the screen to the armor).

Also in update 0.8.6, the normalization of sub-caliber shells has been reduced to 2°.

Since Update 0.9.3, it has become possible to ricochet to another tank. After the second ricochet, the projectile disappears. You can find out the combat characteristics of any vehicle, for example, damage, armor, and identify penetration zones based on this, in the "Tank Science" section in the World of Tanks Assistant application.

Damage

Damage- parameter of the gun, which characterizes its ability to cause damage to enemy tanks. Measured in units. It is important to remember that the damage indicated in the performance characteristics of the gun is average and in fact varies within 25%, both up and down.

Location of weak points

The location of the various modules in the game is not indicated, but it fully corresponds to the real prototypes. And therefore, if in real life the ammunition was in the left corner of the back of the tank, then in the game it will be there. But still, the weakest points of tanks are located in approximately the same place:

• The engine and fuel tank are usually located in the aft (rear) part of the tank.
• The ammunition rack is located in the center of the hull or in the aft (rear) part of the turret.
• To knock down a tank caterpillar, you need to shoot at the front or last roller.
• The gun and triplexes are visible to the naked eye.
• The commander, as a rule, is in the tower and can be incapacitated by a hit on the commander's cupola.
• The driver sits in front of the machine body.
• The loader and gunner are located in the front or center of the turret.

Damage by modules

Shooting at modules has its own characteristics. Often, when modules are hit, the damage goes to them, but not to the tank itself. Each module has its own durability points (health units). If they are completely removed (critical damage), then the module stops working and it will take some time to restore it. Module health units are not fully restored, but only up to 50%. It remains damaged and may not work as well. Accordingly, it will be easier to break the same module in the future. If new damage is inflicted on the module during the repair process, health points are removed, the repair continues up to 50%. That is, if a tank with a removed caterpillar continues to hit the same caterpillar, then it will be repaired constantly (or until the tank is destroyed).

The repair kit restores the health points of the damaged module up to 100%.

Engine If the module is damaged or after restoration, the maximum movement speed is reduced. With critical damage, movement is impossible. Each engine damage can cause a fire with the probability indicated in the engine description (10-40%). Chance of damage: 45% Caterpillar When the module is damaged, the chance of breaking increases. With critical damage, movement is impossible. Ammunition rack If the module is damaged, the reload time increases. In case of critical damage, the tank is destroyed. At the same time, the number of shells in the ammo rack does not affect the chance of its explosion. Only an empty ammo rack does not explode. Damage Chance: 27% Tank No penalty is applied when the module is damaged. When the tank is critically damaged, a fire starts. Damage Chance: 45% Triplex No penalty is applied when a module is damaged or after repair. With critical damage, the visibility range is reduced by 50%. Chance of damage: 45% Radio station When the module is damaged, the communication radius is halved. Chance of damage: 45% Gun If the module is damaged or after restoration, the accuracy of shooting decreases. With critical damage, firing from a gun and changing its declination are impossible. Chance of damage: 33% Turret rotation mechanism If the module is damaged or after restoration, the rotation speed of the turret is reduced. With critical damage, the rotation of the tower is impossible. Damage Chance: 45%

Crew Damage

Unlike tank modules, the crew does not have health points. A tanker can be either healthy or shell-shocked. A knocked out tanker can be returned to service by using a first-aid kit. Contusion of all crew members is equivalent to the destruction of the tank. When one of the crew members is disabled, all effects from additional skills and abilities learned by him disappear. For example, when a commander is shell-shocked, the "Sixth Sense" light bulb stops working. In addition, if:

The commander is shell-shocked - visibility is halved, the commander's bonus ceases to operate. The driver is shell-shocked - the speed of movement and turns is halved. The gunner is shell-shocked - the spread is doubled, the turret traverse speed is halved. Loader shell-shocked - reload speed is halved. The radio operator is shell-shocked - the communication radius is halved. Crew member shell shock chance: 33%

Tanking Basics

When the muzzle of these monsters looks at your tank, you can feel goosebumps on the steel armor, the tracks begin to give way, and the ammo rack gradually gets wet. Few survived after being targeted by the heroes of this article.

Today we will look at the most powerful guns in the game, and, of course, the vehicles they are mounted on. We will not pay attention to the rate of fire, accuracy and armor penetration. Determine the tanks with the maximum one-time damage - that's our goal today. At each level, from the first to the tenth, we will select the most lethal tank. We will also separately rank the most powerful self-propelled guns.

1 level

vickers Medium Mark. I (maximum damage 71-119 units)

The only medium tank at the first level is fundamentally different from its counterparts. The Briton is the most massive and almost the slowest among classmates. He also has almost no armor ... but what’s there, we can say that the armor Vickers Medium Mk. I not at all. Shoot wherever you want, it’s hard not to hit such a big carcass, and it’s even harder not to pierce it or ricochet.

But on the other hand, an English tank can set fire to all rivals in the sandbox with a cannon QF 6- pdr 8 cwt Mark. II.

There are three types of shells to choose from: two armor-piercing and one high-explosive fragmentation.

It is the land mines that have a record damage of 71-119 units, having only 29 mm of armor penetration, but at the first level this is not a problem. The most armored classmate (MS-1) has only 18 mm on the forehead.

2 level

Т18 (maximum damage 131-219 units)

Low level American tank destroyer T18 does not have a large supply of health points, but it has the thickest frontal armor at the second level and good mobility.

Add to that a powerful gun 75 mm Howitzer M1 A1 - and you will get a PT that can brazenly go out to the enemy, inflict huge damage on him, and receive only scratches herself.

High-explosive shells, as usual, differ in record damage of 131-219 units. With such power, you can kill an enemy a level above yourself with one shot, but only on condition that the projectile hits an unprotected part of the hull. If the enemy is facing you, then feel free to load the “golden” cumulative ammunition, their damage is slightly less, but the armor penetration is many times better.

ArtillerySturmpanzer I Bison (maximum damage 225-375 units)

This self-propelled gun rightfully takes the place of the "sand" queen. If the enemy team had such artillery, take care of your heads. At first glance, this flimsy machine does not pose a danger, but if a projectile flies from it, it will not seem enough.

The Bizon has only one cannon, so there is no choice here. HEAT shells are very expensive, they can be bought for 12 gold or 4800 silver coins per piece, but they are worth it. Due to the huge (for its level) damage of 225-375 units and excellent armor penetration of 171-285 mm, even heavy tanks of the fifth level can suffer from one small artillery shell.

3 level

cruiser Mark. II (maximum damage 278-463 units)

And again the British. This light British tank boasts maximum damage, which is enough to one-shot the enemy one level or even two higher than itself. In principle, that's all, he has nothing more to brag about. The speed is disgusting, the armor is weak, the reload is so-so, but I generally keep quiet about accuracy. The projectile flies very slowly, and go figure out when it hits the target, and whether it hits at all. It happens that you come down to a standing enemy, fire a volley with anticipation, and watch how your projectile flies over the enemy in a mocking arc.

But despite all this, I personally left the Cruiser Mk. II in his hangar. Do you know why? This is a very fun tank! It may be slow, clumsy and oblique, but when you take off all the health points of a high-level enemy with one shot, you are imbued with genuine love for cruiser mk. II.

To achieve maximum lethality, you need to install a weapon 3.7- inch Howitzer. Only two types of ammunition are supplied to this gun - “golden” cumulative and conventional high-explosive fragmentation. Premium HEAT shells have excellent armor penetration, but HEs deal massive damage (if fired at weak points), as much as 278-463 HP.

ArtilleryLorraine39 L AM

Miniature, dynamic and long-range artillery with a long reload time, but huge damage for its level. Thanks to the hinged trajectory of the projectile, the small French self-propelled guns are able to reach enemies hiding behind low shelters.

He has two weapons in his arsenal: the fourth and fifth levels. Despite the same damage, the "stock" gun reloads longer, and the shells from it fly somehow slowly.

High-explosive fragmentation ammunition has the highest damage of 308-513 units, but against heavy tanks of the fifth and sixth levels, it is better to use "golden" cumulative shells.

Have the same damageM 37 andWespe .

4th level

Hetzer (maximum damage 308-513 units)

The German tank destroyer in the "top" configuration inspires fear and horror on its opponents. Not only that Hetzer has a low hull, ricochet armor angles and good mobility, it also has excellent damage.

One of his "top" guns 10,5 cm StuH 42 L/28 can fire armor-piercing, cumulative and high-explosive fragmentation shells. Landmines deal - 308-513 damage, but are only good for weakly armored opponents. Against heavy tanks and tank destroyers, it is best to use "golden" cumulatives.

Has the same damageSomua SAu -40 and T40 .

ArtilleryGrille (maximum damage 510-850 units)

The most popular self-propelled guns in medium companies and, perhaps, the best artillery at its level. But do not think that having bought the "Grill" you will immediately start killing enemies in batches. This machine requires a special approach and getting used to. Firstly, it has very poor horizontal aiming angles, which means that if you just move the sight slightly to the right or left, you will have to wait for full aiming again. Fortunately, with the most pumped crew and "reinforced aiming drives" Grille converges pretty quickly on the target, so don't shoot offhand, show a little patience.

Another positive feature of the "Grill" is the good range of the projectile. Unlike the Soviet counterpart, small German artillery at almost any location can send a projectile from one end of the map to the other.

And, of course, the highest damage is at the fourth level (510-850 units), which more than pays for a long cooldown. There are two types of shells in the arsenal: high-explosive fragmentation and cumulative. Both types of ammunition have the same damage, but cumulatives penetrate thicker armor, sacrificing fragmentation damage in the process. Given the lame accuracy of this artillery, choosing the type of projectile is not an easy task.

5th level

KV-1(maximum damage 338-563 units)

After splitting the legendary HF for two tanks KV-1 and KV-2) both new vehicles took first place in the 5th and 6th levels of the ranking of the most lethal vehicles in World of Tanks.

KV-1 in the "top" configuration, it has a well-armored compact turret, which allows it to fire with impunity due to shelters and terrain folds.

This tank has a wide range of Tier 5 and 6 guns, but only the HE has the maximum damage (338-563 HP) 122 mm U-11. Such a gun can be loaded with land mines or cumulative "golden" shells.

High-explosive fragmentation ammunition, despite the large declared damage, will be of little use if you shoot at the strong forehead of tank destroyers and heavy tanks of their level, but light tanks and artillery literally explode almost from the first hit.

Has the same damage SU-85.

ArtilleryM41

The American level 5 SPG is famous for the fact that in addition to excellent damage, it has excellent horizontal aiming angles and a good rate of fire.

Also M41 can accelerate to 56 km / h, but due to a weak engine, this takes a lot of time.

"Top" gun 155 mm Gun M1918 M1 can fire two types of high-explosive fragmentation shells — standard and premium. Both types of ammunition have the same damage (713-1188 units), but the “golden” shells penetrate armor a little better and scatter their fragments further during the explosion.

Have the same damageHummel andAMX 13 F 3 AM .

6th level

KV-2

A very dangerous tank in battles on the sixth and seventh levels. Thanks to the gun 152 mm M-10, which was popularly nicknamed "shaitan-pipe", KV-2 can deal 683-1138 damage, but only if the armor is pierced by a HE. If you are confronted by a thick-skinned tank, then it makes sense to try armor-piercing or cumulative shells.

Unlike its predecessor, KV-2 It has an impressive hull and a massive turret, which means that it is quite difficult to hide on it. Try to avoid open areas and stay close to city buildings, where you can catch enemies in narrow streets. The reason is obvious: this tank has trouble with accuracy, shooting at distant targets is just a waste of shells. City buildings also come in handy for retreating to reload, which lasts about a quarter of a minute.

Artillery S-51(maximum damage 1388-2313 units)

S-51 or "Pinocchio" almost always desired artillery in champion companies. Let the rate of fire of this self-propelled guns be the lowest at the sixth level, but with a "top" gun 203 mm B-4 she deals 1388-2313 damage with land mines on a successful hit.

Compared to its counterpart SU-14, this artillery is much more mobile, which allows it to change position in time when there is a threat of detection.

Has the same damage SU-14.

7th level

SU-152(maximum damage 683-1138 units)

At the seventh level, Soviet vehicles retain their leadership in terms of damage. The most powerful weapon SU-152 practically no different from a high-explosive on a heavy tank KV-2. A gun 152 mm ML-20 also fires armor-piercing, HEAT and high-explosive fragmentation shells, which inflict the most damage on weakly armored targets - 683-1138 units.

Do not forget that with a high-explosive gun you sacrifice accuracy and rate of fire. She will not allow you to sit in the bushes and accurately shoot enemies at long distances, the best option is to go behind enemy lines and, seizing the moment when he is not up to you, implement an impressive alpha strike.

ArtilleryGW Tiger (maximum damage 1500-2500 units)

Massive and slow artillery with a long reload time, but with lethal high-explosive fragmentation shells that deal 1500-2500 damage. Even if a landmine does not penetrate armor, any enemy will still feel uncomfortable. Who knows, maybe next time an armor-piercing shell will fly in, which, with the favor of the VBR, can swanshot almost any car in the game?

GW Tiger great for team play in a platoon. With such huge damage, you should not chase the "frags". Leave the change and the "unfinished" to your allies, your primary goal is high-level heavy tanks and tank destroyers.

8 level

ISU-152(maximum damage 713-1188 units)

And again the USSR is in the lead. An improved model of the previous tank destroyer, ISU-152, possesses a weapon of the tenth level 152 mm BL-10, which can deal 713-1188 damage with HE shells. However, it is much more effective to shoot with armor-piercing ones: their damage is slightly lower, but armor penetration makes it easy to pierce even the toughest opponents of the tenth level. Using "golden" shells with this gun does not make much sense. And without them, you can easily break through any opponent.

The ISU-152 with the "top" gun has tolerable accuracy, which allows you not to break into the thick of the battle, but to cover allies from a safe distance.

Artillery T92(maximum damage 1688-2813 units)

The most deadly and most useless artillery of the eighth level. Premium HE shells deal 1688-2813 damage and have a massive blast radius of over 11 meters.

In everything else, T92 total cons.

First, it's terribly slanting artillery. It would seem that with a huge radius of fragmentation, special accuracy is not required. Well, the projectile landed not on the head of the enemy, but next to him, all the same, the adversary will be hooked by fragments. But what if enemy and allied tanks clashed in the same clearing? In this scenario, you can put both of them, and it remains to be seen who will hook more, and whether the team will be grateful to you after that.

Besides, T92 takes a very long time to recharge. While reloading, the enemy will not only have time to repair broken tracks, but also easily disappear from view.

And finally - another big minus of this artillery. He completely lacks a negative angle of vertical aiming. Imagine that a light tank breaks through to your base, drives up close to your forehead, and there is nothing you can do about it. A gun T92 it just doesn't drop below the zero line, which means that low silhouette tanks can calmly shoot you at point-blank range.

9th level

T30(maximum damage 713-1188 units)

Main advantages T30- a strong free-spinning tower and a maximum damage of 713-1188 units.

Among the shortcomings are weak hull armor, long reload time and unpredictable accuracy.

High-explosive fragmentation shells do the most damage, but it is most comfortable to play, of course, with armor-piercing or sub-caliber shells.

In Game T30 can behave like a heavy tank (initially it was such). If you are tired of sitting in the bushes, feel free to go to the place of hostilities. The main thing is not to climb on the rampage, cover a weak body and show the enemies only your strong tower.

Have the same damage Object 704 and T95.

10 level

FV215 b (183) (maximum damage 1313-2188 units)

There is nothing scarier than coming face to face with a charged FV215 b (183) . From the mention of this tank destroyer, even the "Mouses" hide in their holes, because with one successful salvo the British monster is able to halve its health. Can you imagine what will happen to the rest of the tanks when a projectile from FV215 b (183) ?

"Premium" shells give out crazy damage (1313-2188 units), but if HESHs usually have very low armor penetration, then special British HESH HESHs can penetrate from 206 to 344 mm of armor. This comes at the cost of horrendous accuracy and huge reload times.

Generally, FV215b (183) differs greatly from his classmates not only in damage, but also in appearance. This tank destroyer has the shape of a “slipper”, that is, the turret is located behind the hull, and in order to carefully peek around the corner, you will have to show the enemy your entire huge carcass. The so-called "Reverse Diamond" will not help much here, on the sides FV215b (183) only 50 mm of armor.

You need to get used to this PT and learn not only to competently drive around the corner, but also to roll back in time for a long reload. Try not to ride alone, it is best to have a thick-skinned and ricochet partner in the platoon who can distract opponents while you reload.

The article will talk about the five most inconspicuous and bending tanks from the game World of Tanks. By pumping them up, you will be able to play very effectively from disguise and shoot a lot of damage in each battle. Let's start!

Fifth place

Chinese tanks have always been famous for their camouflage. 121 is no exception: the tank has an excellent concealment factor and a very powerful 122 mm gun. Due to the large caliber, 121 glows a little better than others when fired, but in a stationary position, the tank can be invisible for a long time, and only after a powerful shot at the enemy, it may light up. But the “Chinese” is smart and can always leave on time.

The 121 has the biggest alpha strike of any tier 10 medium tank, which is quite impressive. The gun is not as accurate as the Soviet tanks, but it is always enough at any distance. In addition, this gun has a good DPM and excellent penetration. Do not forget that the "Chinese" is a pretty tough nut to crack for a medium tank. Its forehead is well armored, and the turret can perfectly tank the damage.

The only thing that does not please is the terrible UVN. The gun goes down very badly, and you have to get used to it. The rest of the tank is very good.

Fourth place

In fourth place is the stealth tank, Object 140. It is worth noting that you can use the T-62 instead. They are similar in style, although the T-62 has slightly worse camouflage. Object 140 is a small tank with a low silhouette. With upgraded camouflage and purchased camouflage, the tank can often and for a long time disappear from enemy radars. At the same time, thanks to the small caliber of the gun, the 140th can shoot enemies without glowing.

The undoubted advantage of the tank is the high DPM, excellent accuracy and good stabilization of the gun. In addition, the gun is quite penetrating. The tank is very agile, nimble and fast, which allows it to occupy the most convenient bushes first.

The tank attacks well with relatively weak armor. Although the tower sometimes reflects enemy shells, it often breaks through, and the hull is easily “sewn”. In any case, the Object 140 is a great tank and would be great for most players who want to play carefully from disguise.

Third place

The third place in the top of the best medium tanks in World of Tanks is occupied by the Object 907. This is an auction tank, it is difficult to get it, but you can upgrade the Object 430 instead, they are similar.

Object 907 has very good camouflage and is excellent for ambush tactics and reconnaissance. The Object 907 has the best dynamics among all Soviet medium tanks. It quickly picks up speed up to 55 km/h. The tank is small in size, bizarre design, the shape of the tower may remind someone of a flying saucer. Due to this specific shape, the Object 907 is often pierced into the turret, which is one of the disadvantages of the machine.

But the body is at a good slope and often reflects enemy shells. Like other Soviet medium tanks, this tank has a fast-firing, accurate, penetrating gun, which allows you to effectively fire damage over long distances. In general, the emphasis in the Object 907 is on camouflage and driving performance, while aggressively playing it is not so easy, but possible.

Second place

In second place is the tank of the 8th level Object 416, in fact, half-PT, half-ST. The camouflage of this vehicle is better than the rest of the medium tanks in this TOP. At level 8, many enemies have poor vision. Therefore, being in the first lines, Object 416 turns on invisibility and bombs enemies from the bush.

Incredible camouflage is not the only plus of this tank. Object 416 has a tier 9 weapon! This usually happens only on tank destroyers, but here it happens on a medium tank. The gun is really impressive! Good penetration with the main type of shells and excellent penetration with the gold. The gun has good accuracy and fast aiming, high DPM and decent alpha. The tank is very fast, agile and dynamic, but there is one drawback: the turret rotates only partially. Therefore, Object 416 does not perform well in an attack.

But he is an excellent ambush fighter who can quickly change his position to fire at the enemy.

First place

The best medium tank for the game World of Tanks from disguising and bending enemies is the French tank Bat.-Chatillon 25t. An excellent concealment ratio allows this tank to take the most risky positions on the map without glowing. High maximum speed, excellent dynamics will come in handy in any battle, for example, to capture key points on the map or to retreat to a safe place. The "Frenchman" has a drum for 5 shells, which is especially useful in the most critical moments of the battle, for example, when an ally needs help.

At the moment, more than 290 combat vehicles of the past are available in World of Tanks. Each tank has its own strengths and weaknesses, however, there are vehicles that are extremely comfortable to play on, these tanks really bend over. We have selected for you the best tanks at each level, so that you know what to buy in order to have the greatest impact on the outcome of the battle. In general, if you want to bend over - read the material!

Before we start, let me tell you about how the tanks for the material were selected. Server-wide statistics for each tank were taken as a basis. The highest percentage of victories was taken into account. However, some changes were made, because there were situations when the vehicle was new and only experienced players upgraded it, which is why the percentage of victories on the tank is much higher without any reason. In addition, such vehicles as, for example, the KV-220 did not get into the material, the statistics on which are very high, but the tank is now impossible to get.

Several levels housed several tanks, because it was very difficult to choose the best one.

First level - MS-1 (49.08% of victories on the server)

The undisputed leader comes from the USSR - MS-1. Thanks to its set of characteristics, Pug mercilessly oppresses newcomers and pedobears who have just entered the game with tens of thousands of battles behind them.

The MS-1 has no armor (at the first level, no one has it), amazing dynamics or accuracy ... But a 45mm gun can deprive the enemy of 47 HP, which is quite a lot. In addition, the tank has a small size, which reduces the likelihood of hitting it.

Watch video about MS-1

Second tier - PzKpfw 38H735 (f) (56.53% of victories across the server)

Although I promised not to include tanks that are impossible to get in the article, I simply cannot but tell about the Minimaus, since this unusually protected tank can simply bend random battles with its chic armor.

Pay attention to the server win percentage - 56.53% is very, very high. And all due to the fact that the PzKpfw 38H735 (f) has a completely amazing circular armor with a thickness of 40mm. Classmates in terms of level pierce Minimaus with great difficulty, and first-level machines may not even try to do it (unless the same MS-1 can try and it is unlikely that he will succeed).

In addition, these 40mm of armor are located not only in the forehead and sides, but also, attention, in the stern. Among the shortcomings of the PzKpfw 38H735 (f) should be noted low speed and not very high penetration. However, these shortcomings are easily compensated by the chic advantages of the car.

But stop choking on saliva, let's move on to cars that you can buy and on which you can bend down no worse than on the PzKpfw 38H735 (f).

T18 (50.43% of server wins)

Want to bend down on the second level? Please, this is not difficult, for this you will need straight arms and a small accessory in the form of an American T18 tank destroyer. What makes the T18 better than its classmates? It's simple - thanks to the huge one-time damage, tank destroyers can literally one-shot enemies, and thanks to their excellent speed, you can quickly respond to the situation on the battlefield, which changes at lightning speed in the sandbox. It is also worth mentioning the good 51mm tank destroyer armor, which can save you from shots in difficult times.

Of course, it was not without drawbacks. You should always remember that you are a tank destroyer, not a tank - the T18 does not have a turret, so an enemy that has climbed into the rear can cause you a lot of problems. Yes, and the enemy can get used to the board, which is also not very pleasant.

And one more thing - to guarantee high damage, carry a Serbogold with you, if, of course, you have enough silver.

Watch about T18

T2 Light Tank (53.95% of server wins)

If the T18 is designed for those who like to one-shot the enemy, then the T2 Light Tank will appeal to players who love fast rides. This is one of the fastest tanks in the game, so you can always rely on the tank's engine to help you out in difficult times. For example, when the base is captured, you can quickly return and break the capture.

In addition, in addition to speed, the T2 Light Tank boasts an unusual armament - a machine gun that takes down 12 HP units to the enemy in one hit. If you know how to use these weapons correctly, you can work real miracles.

The tank also has disadvantages, for example, the complete absence of armor and not very high maneuverability, which will play a trick on you more than once.

T2 Light Tank in all its glory, watch the video

As you can see, on the second level you can choose between two tanks. Consider what style of play you like.

Third level - FCM36 Pak40 (59.02%)

Phenomenally high win rate on this French FCM36 Pak40 tank destroyer! It is not surprising - the most powerful weapons and good armor (machine guns are not terrible) allow you to work real miracles.

In addition, the PT-shka boasts phenomenal visibility at its level - as much as 400 meters! You see the enemy when the enemy does not even suspect that he is lit up like a Christmas tree. Properly using the view and the power of the FCM36 Pak40 cannon can pull the most mundane battles. And don't be put off by the fact that FCM36 Pak40 costs real money, the price is not very high, only 850 gold coins. Believe me, this is a small price to pay for bending over.

Of the minuses, one should single out low speed and not very large horizontal pickup angles. Not very significant disadvantages, pluses overlap them several times.

Tier 4 - Hetzer (49.45% of server wins)

At the fourth level, it was rather difficult to choose the most bending tank, since almost all vehicles are rather average in terms of their characteristics. However, an interesting tank destroyer at this level also has its name "Hetzer". True, for a comfortable and spectacular bend, you will need a lot of silver. Thick frontal armor and an excellent land mine, capable of depriving the enemy of 350 HP, make Hetzer a real monster. Of course, for a comfortable game, you need to shoot with a Serbogold in order to maximize your chances of dealing those same 350 damage.

The car is rather peculiar and in inept hands Hetzer will infuriate the tanker with its low speed.

Fifth level

KV-1 (49.1% of victories)

Do not look at the fact that KV-1 has such a low percentage of victories on the server. This is due to the fact that the tank is extremely popular, and the statistics on it correspond to the concept of "balance" as much as possible. Gorgeous protection at its level, excellent weapons, but poor mobility and visibility - these are the key features of this tank. Getting into the TOP, KV-1 drags the battle and is the main combat unit of the team.

Watch about KV-1

S-35 CA (52.21% wins across the server)

The second machine for bending at the fifth level is the S-35 CA, which has completely lethal weapons - a 105mm gun can upset the enemy by as much as 300 hit points, which is a record among classmates. Huge number! If the evil VBR throws you at the top of the list, then you can be punished mercilessly.

The disadvantages of the car are standard - lack of armor, low speed and low strength. But believe me, these shortcomings are compensated by frenzied damage. And the review of the S-35 CA is excellent - we can see as much as 400 meters. If you put in an enlightenment and a pipe ... Soviet blind tanks will suffer, suffer a lot;).

open spoiler

AT 2 (52.23% wins)

This tank destroyer is only for those players who love the sounds of projectiles bouncing off them. Thanks to the record thickness of the armor, AT 2 survives where the rest of the team would have already merged. Just imagine, at the fifth level, as much as 203mm of frontal armor is available to us! It's so damn cool that you can't even ask for better.

The stern and sides, of course, are less armored, but 101mm also helps a lot.

What characteristics of the AT 2 were sacrificed to the Serb? Armament and speed. We move at the speed of a turtle and bite the enemy with the strength of a mosquito. Which, however, does not prevent this tank destroyer from brutally bending down, especially on city maps, where there are many narrow passages.

Playing AT 2 has become even more comfortable after update 0.8.6, as the evil imba SU-26 has been nerfed. Feel free to buy if you like armored tanks. A lot of emotions are provided.

Sixth level

KV-1S (49.06%)

Recognized imba in World of Tanks. The most severe one-time damage of 390 units, enemy tanks burst with two shots. In addition to an excellent gun, Kvass has good mobility, which is quite unexpected for a tank that deals such wild damage.

The advantages are compensated by not very good armor (but there are ricochets, and quite often) and a high probability of fire (perks will help you).

The most popular tank in the game - it's not for nothing that the "quaskaktank" meme is alive and well. "Quaskaktank, is he holding a punch?"

Watch

M18 Hellcat (51.31% wins)

The highest speed and excellent weapons are a deadly combination, especially in the realities of the World of Tanks. The Cat from Hell M18 can not only drag battles, but also give the tanker completely new emotions, because it is in this tank destroyer that you will find speed and a good gun. A weak penetration is not a problem.

M18 Hellcat is a chic alternative to Kvas.

Tier 7 - PzKpfw VI Tiger (P) (50.19% wins)

The seventh level, like the fourth, is also difficult to choose the bending technique. Many, of course, will prefer the Soviet IS, but I choose the German PzKpfw VI Tiger (P), which I advise you to do too, because with the right use of this wonderful machine, you will enjoy every battle.

Excellent armor penetration, good 200mm armor make the tank really interesting. Of course, one should take into account low mobility and low one-time damage. But even despite these drawbacks, the PzKpfw VI Tiger (P) can bend over. And if you put the tank in a rhombus, enemy shells will regularly bounce off the car.

Watch video

Level 8 - IS-3 (48.69%)

And again we have an undisputed leader at our level. Quite a rare occurrence, but it is the IS-3 at the eighth level that is the best tank. He has everything - a chic gun, good armor, mobility ... The disadvantages are very insignificant - poor visibility and long mixing are easily offset by advantages.

Feel free to buy if you are looking for the most bending tank at the eighth level. The IS-3 especially changes after buying the 122 mm BL-9 gun, which increases armor penetration to 225 mm.

Look

Ninth level

T54E1 (51.83% wins)

Despite its weak armor, the T54E1 is still able to dodge randomly using its loader drum, capable of delivering 1560 damage. In addition, the T54E1 also has good dynamics, allowing you to quickly respond to changing situations on the battlefield.

Show video

T-54 (49.32% of victories)

Armament, armor, speed - the T-54 has no flaws, only advantages. An extremely pleasant tank in World of Tanks, which is able to bend over not only in straight arms.

Show

T57 Heavy Tank (51.66% wins)

And again, our guest is a relatively new American tank with a loading drum. Powerful weapons, good dynamics and very fast reloading of the drum are compensated by weak armor and a small margin of safety.

However, if you do not expose yourself to enemy shots, you can score record numbers in the "damage" column. One of the most enjoyable tanks at the moment.

Open spoiler with video

AMX 50 Foch (155) (53.54% wins)

How can you do without Foch, who became especially popular after patch 0.8.6 due to the almost complete absence of artillery in battles. It has chic armor, a three-round loading drum and excellent dynamics. The AMX 50 Foch (155) is the perfect example of how the biggest pluses can be in one car.

The disadvantages are insignificant - the lack of armor in the stern and sides, as well as the low margin of safety practically does not play any role in random battles. Foch 155 now bends like never before.

Well, my friends, that's all for me. Of course, not everyone will agree with this list of tanks, however, I tried to collect vehicles based on all factors - the percentage of wins on the server, player votes, as well as personal feelings and observations. But in the end I will say one thing - even the most disgusting tank can bend over. It all depends on your hands, the characteristics of the car are in the background, they only complement your skill.

Good luck in battles and fast pumping to you!
