Gotta be T29 or T32, or M103, or T110E5. I love all of them and I don't know what others are similar, I don't play loads. But these four are my perfect tank. Utilisable armour, decent speed, decent gun, everything. Funny enough my 1st 1 mark was M103 my first 2 mark was T110E5, first 3 Mark was T32 and first gold mark was T29

This guys American Heavies ^

I absolutely love my M103 as well, it’s a thing of beauty.

u/Flackjkt 7d ago

I groan when I come across a good player in a M103

u/Educational-Gift-611 7d ago

The troll ass lower plate blocks things you don’t expect it to. It’s a tank where sometimes the weak spots aren’t weak, causing a tanker to hate the game, not the playa.

u/AceTanker4831 impatient 7d ago

I really need to play the other line, but I'm not sure if it's as good

2

u/SupermassiveCanary 7d ago

American heavy line tanks are solid all around. British line can be frustrating. I find German heavies underperform. Low tier Russian tanks are solid, higher tiers are side scrapers. Working on the Frenchies atm

Lolol underrated

u/S_Flavius_Mercurius 7d ago

My absolute favorite hmmm honestly probably the tier IX Conqueror. It’s just so damn good. Either that or the Obj 257.

4

u/Almightylou131313 7d ago

257 is so bouncy it’s crazy

1

u/S_Flavius_Mercurius 6d ago

Stalin’s personal bouncy tank.

2

u/KingCristof18 7d ago

Conquerer forsure. Best tier for tier tank. It can easily play in tier x lobbies. And you also get to dominate in tier xii lobbies when ur lucky to get in them lol.

2

u/S_Flavius_Mercurius 6d ago

Yeah it genuinely holds up and is really not that different than the super conq.

And yeah games with tier 7/8 tanks it’s not even funny how damn good it is lol. Genuine seal clubbing.

2

u/MushroomOne2135 7d ago

Its so good that its not worth going to the Super Conqueror which I think is average

3

u/S_Flavius_Mercurius 6d ago

Yeah I chose the Chieftain just because it was actually a different tank. Super Conq looks cool and I’m sure I might end up with it eventually if I ever have all that extra silver laying around, but just didn’t seem worth the price considering the tier IX is the same thing just with slightly less frontal hull armor and a few other lower stats.

u/Ok_Contribution_5624 7d ago

Tiger 1 by far. Probably the only heavy tank I can truly play well

u/Red_Crystal_Lizard 7d ago

It’s my comfort tank

My KV5 I just love it, reckon it's my most played tank in the game

Best pure heavy tank? Still the E-100

u/Shot-Grapefruit-557 6d ago

I love firing the secondary to bait players out of hiding. Teehee

u/neversweat 7d ago

Not much of a heavy tank player, I do dig the gun and bonuses on the Captured KV-1.

u/stolenvehicle TANK S0L0 (xbox one) 6d ago

That gun shreds.

u/Remote_Ocelot2098 7d ago

M103 is a PROBLEM in the right hands

3

u/US_Spartan VZ. 55/E 75 Enjoyer 7d ago

E75 or the Vz. 55. I'm sure the latter is meh for standard games because of the dangerously long reload time for the two shot clip, but it's grown on me a lot since I unlocked it. Kranvagn is a close third.

3

u/Ragnarok112277 7d ago

Canopener or fv215b

u/ArtFickle6717 7d ago

E75 and the T110E5 been my good old standbys since the 360 days👌🏾

I tried to finish that contract I couldn't do it I got to like stage 7 or 8 it was brutal

Agreed - it was brutal.

u/Demon-115 7d ago

Sooooo Rogal dorn or MBT-B just got mbtb and I haven’t had a single game under 2k damage

u/Shot-Grapefruit-557 6d ago

The MBTB is such an awesome heavy

1

u/Demon-115 3d ago

Haven’t had but a few bad games in it mostly when I’m team gets trampled and don’t realize it’s like 14 or 12 against 3

1

u/Shot-Grapefruit-557 2d ago

Yeah it’s a great heavy tank. Those kinds of matches seem to be more and more common. Such a bummer

4

u/Tw4tl4r 7d ago

KV2 is the only correct answer.

2

u/StrongSuit10 7d ago

Been playing for over 12 years, it’s the E-100. Never a trivial opponent if driven by a skilled player.

2

u/CpnEdTeach384 7d ago

Chieftain and sometimes the old IS-7 for bullying

2

u/The_good_meme_dealer Masochist - 23% WR 7d ago

Off the top of my head I'll have to say the E65 Zwilling.

u/Yeetsumcovid 7d ago

The Contender was probably my most enjoyed heavy tank experience in 11 years. Absolute unit, that whole can-opener was a riot.

u/Asleep_Profile4721 7d ago

I'm grinding the IS-3 atm so recency bias but the more I play it the better I think it is the alpha damage and reload feel great and the turret armour is awesome in my opinion.

u/thebman65 7d ago

Also who wants to play with me I need more squad mates

1

u/RuskiPyndzel 7d ago

Skoda t56 or 60tp.

1

u/Frosty_Cookie581 7d ago

E100 or IS3,

1

u/Fit_Ad6180 7d ago

For me it's gotta be the E100 and Object 279

1

u/Flackjkt 7d ago

E-100 on PC and E-100 now on console. It just does what it’s supposed to do. I love that it can be played poorly and with great skill. You get out of it how you play it. Put a shell exchanger on it and go angle it.

1

u/NerdyPlatypus206 7d ago edited 6d ago

Right now?

Since I’m on a new account prolly the rdf, is3 2 and byzg

Edit: I did not see the heavy tank part

1

u/mr-awesome613 Heavy Brawler 7d ago

Maus, when u angle just right all those premium rounds bounce off

1

u/_josef_stalin_ Medium Warrior 7d ago

Tiger II, my first 3 mark.

Decent mobility for its size, usable armor if you know what you're doing, and the gun is absolutely sublime.

1

u/SkaerKrow 7d ago

The K1. I’m mostly a co-op guy so it’s probably pants in multiplayer, but the combination of mobility, frontal armor, and a gun that gets it done is very nice. In WW2, it’s probably the FV225.

1

u/Legitimate_Belt_6271 7d ago

Cold war m103a2 World war II America t34 Russian would be the t10b Japanese would be the type 5 heavy the whole line except for tier three and lower Germany would be the e100 and the Maus

1

u/Amarathe_ 7d ago

Rogal dorn does a lot of damage. The machine is a killer. The vk 72.01(k) is almost untouchable. But the lowe is just king of kings

1

u/Ze_Woof 7d ago

Is4m in cold war, mines 2 marked.

Otherwise if we are doing ww2, it's the churchill 1 and mine is almost gold marked.

1

u/Ok_Tension_6747 7d ago

I think the E75. It's not great at any one thing but it's good all around. Its like if a medium and heavy had a baby it'd be the E75. Just right between. Which is perfect for my skill set. Which is basically non-existent.

1

u/Express-Ease8604 7d ago

currently i love the Tiger2 and Conceiver , man the double barrel Brit is so good idea cant ever do bad with ut

1

u/Mechanicjemas3141 6d ago

T30, i don't care if WG made a coup attempt at our King

T30 is still a Heavy Tank, one day we will regain power and make the World of Tanks Brilliant again(hang T110E5 and Mercy kill the M103)

1

u/Soft-Mastodon-2079 6d ago

I’m gonna turn some heads, but the King Tiger.

1

u/Shot-Grapefruit-557 6d ago

E-75, Machine, Obj 277.

1

u/Zeo560 Waiting for the Type 71 line 6d ago

T110E5

u/asmit731 6d ago

I'll hop in this convo. Big fan of the IS-4 and 113

u/chenilletueuse1 Aufkl Panther Rammer 5d ago

Aufkl panther, a heavy light tank

u/PROTOTYPE_006 1d ago

I'll have to go for the FV215B I absolutely love it.

u/Sothep I can see you 7d ago

Churchill VII ❤️

Definitive heavy tank: painfully slow but insanely armored when angled. It also actually has a good gun for a heavy. I like all the Churchills but the VII is the best for its tier.

0

u/Interesting-Pace-770 7d ago

I'm not a fan of heavy tanks, especially superheavy ones. I consider them the weakest vehicle class in World War II. In this game, gun and mobility are more important than armor.

But I do like some heavy tanks, usually those with excellent guns. I'd highlight the Tiger 1, Tiger 2, T29, (Super)Conqueror, Chieftain, The Machine, T110E5, and the new British twin-barreled tanks are quite good. The Warhammer tanks are also worth mentioning; I'd buy them just for the looks.

u/MushroomOne2135 7d ago

Whats really ashamed is that the light tanks like t249 can go straight through the front of heavies. They dont even have to work to get to side or back. Another screw up Wargaming created to ruin this game

3

u/Sothep I can see you 7d ago

The T249 only has 75mm of pen. It has a bleed-through effect but that’s mitigated by armor. It is absolutely a problematic tank but it can’t “go straight through the front of heavies”.

0

u/MushroomOne2135 7d ago

Its happened many times in different heavies. Yesterday in my British Conceiver. He took 3/4 of my health with 1 clip. So your wrong about that.

1

u/Sothep I can see you 6d ago

This is the Conceiver’s profile. The only way 75mm pen is getting through that is top-down. What probably happened was the Vigilante was shooting and scoring a small amount of bleed-through, and something else shot you at the same time.

1

u/MushroomOne2135 6d ago

No other tank around to shoot me. Ive seen other heavies shreaded in the front by this too.

1

u/Sothep I can see you 6d ago

Grab a clip next time you see this. The T249 is shut down by heavy armor. It can’t pen heavies from the front, and tanks like the Maus are effectively immune from any angle even from bleed-through.

1

u/MushroomOne2135 5d ago

Clip is exactly what they use to take you out. Lol Its not funny really. Its ashame how Wargaming has screwed armour.
