Characteristics Of The Best Heavy Tanks in World Of Tanks<\/h2>\n

Heavy tanks<\/strong> are generally the most well armored vehicles<\/strong> in the game and usually have more firepower than light tanks and medium tanks of their tier, though tank destroyers and artillery still have more alpha damage. Their heavy armor<\/strong> and guns come at the cost of poor speed and maneuverability, which leave poorly-positioned heavy tanks prone to flanking by smaller, faster types of vehicles. They are also the hardest vehicles to conceal; heavy tanks have some of the worst camo values in the game and are easily spotted when in the open.<\/p>\n

Role Of The Best Heavy Tanks in World Of Tanks<\/h3>\n

As heavy tanks<\/strong> are the toughest vehicles in the game, it is often their job to take control of or hold the major choke points and routes of attack on a map. When in such positions, heavy tanks can use techniques such as sidescraping and hull-down positioning to maximize their survivability while exploiting enemy heavies’ weakspots to do effective damage in return.<\/p>\n

Heavy tanks<\/strong> are safest in straight, narrow corridors that not only force enemies to attack them head-on, but give them cover from flankers, artillery, and snipers. Because of their dependence on protection from these threats, heavy tanks<\/strong> are most effective early in a game. As a game progresses and heavy tanks are forced to advance into the open (sometimes without flanking support from allies), their poor camo values and maneuverability make them vulnerable to being outmaneuvered, sniped, or ambushed.<\/p>\n

Armored and battle-hardened, the heavy tank is a wall of steel bent on hitting the enemy squarely in the mouth. Outfitted with thick steel and a merciless weapon, go toe-to-toe without fear, even in close quarters. Secure and hold the frontline. Eliminate combatants one at a time.

The Best Heavy Tanks in World Of Tanks<\/h4>\n
T29<\/h5>\n

Next is the T29<\/strong>, a tank that can be acquired right at the start of the game and is often the best choice for new players. This is due to the quite well-rounded nature of the vehicle. T29<\/strong> has decent damage against tanks of the same tier, reasonable mobility, a very fast reload time of 4.99 seconds if at 100% crew capacity. Plus, this tank can work a much better ridge line than almost any tank in its weight class thanks to its 10\u00b0 of gun depression.<\/p>\n

E100<\/h5>\n

Now we have the German beast that is the E100<\/strong>. This tank is a Goliath on the battlefield, with one of the best all round armor stats in the game and the third-largest hit point pool within the series. Its armor includes protection over the tracks, making this tank the perfect vehicle to peer around walls and get snapshots off via the side scraping method. All this combined coupled with it\u2019s 15cm gun makes it an absolute assassin if used correctly.<\/p>\n

T57<\/h5>\n

Now we have another American line tank<\/strong>, the T57. This mammoth machine has one of the highest DPMs in the game, completely dominating the other tier 10 tanks in this area. The T57\u2019s gun<\/strong> depression is great due to the tank’s oscillating turret, making it ideal for navigating hills and ridges, especially with its great accuracy. Plus, this tank<\/strong> has a respectable HP pool of 2250 HP.<\/p>\n

AMX 50-B<\/h5>\n

This tank is known for its speed above all else. All this combined with its heavy status and great maneuverability makes it a battering ram to be used against lighter tanks on the battlefield. The damage output is nothing to be sniffed at either and with a 4-round autoloader, it means that its reload time is decent as well.<\/p>\n

Type 91<\/h5>\n

Type 91<\/strong> is a Japanese Tier III \u2018Heavy\u2019 tank<\/strong>. It\u2019s the lowest Tier Heavy tank in the game and the first Heavy Tank in the Japanese Heavy Tank Line<\/strong>. Doubtlessly, this vehicle is the best piece of this category in Tier III (not because of the qualities it possesses, but because it is the only Heavy Tank in Tier III).<\/p>\n
