World of Tanks has millions of users around the world. Each player chooses, as it seems to him, the best tank. But you have to choose from three categories of tanks, depending on their mass. Consider the best Tier 8 tanks.
Best Tier 8 Light Tank
The main function of a light tank is to detect the enemy and transmit data on its location to allies. Therefore, one of the most important qualities of a light tank is its range of vision. For quick detection of the enemy, a light tank must have a very high speed. High speed will allow a light tank to take 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 the Ru 251. This tank has a maximum speed of 80 kilometers per hour, which allows it to be behind enemy lines from the very 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 outcome of the battle. The Ru 251 tank has weak armor, like all light tanks. But with its cannon, just like medium tanks, it can penetrate up to 190 millimeters of enemy armor, while inflicting damage up to 230 units. Combined with the low profile of the tank, this weapon allows it to actively engage in ambush fire.
Best Tier 8 Medium Tank
The main task of a medium tank is to support the attack, as well as detect the enemy. Such tasks require maximum visibility from the cockpit. The best such tank at tier 8 is the American T 69 tank. It has a view range of 400 meters.
Medium tanks need to support allied heavy tanks. Lacking thick armor, they can bypass the enemy and shoot at the rear of the tanks. The rear 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 penetrating the enemy, he will be able to disable several modules at once.
Best Tier 8 Heavy Tank
There are two main battle tactics for heavy tanks. Defensive and offensive tactics or breakthrough tactics. The role of the best tank at tier 8 is shared by two tanks: the IS-3 and the KT (Royal Tiger). The King Tiger is a very slow tank, but it 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 weapon and slow reload speed make it suitable only for close combat.
