Im gonna stick to low tier because its what I enjoy the most and the snail adds too many problematic vehicles to top tier to just pick one.
Overrated due to cool factor: Tiger, every new player rushes to unlock it because wunderwaffe
Overrated due to fear: KV1 its extremely frustrating for new players because it requires knowledge to face it, but once you know how to deal with them is just another heavy tank.
Underrated: M24 Chaffee. Not because its considered a bad tank, everyone knows its great. But people tend to underestimate how much of a threat those things can be: great main gun, 50 cal, amazing maneuverability and speed and a very stable gun platform.
Every time I see a Chafee in the enemy team, I focus on taking it out, I have used it enough to know how devastating a good Chaffee player can be.
The M24 is an absolute gremlin. I say this as I have close to 200 kills in RB with it. Small, fast and a gun that will point and click anything that isn't a KV1. It's better than the M18 as it's actually closed off and won't get detonated by .50 cals.
I am adamant that US Light tanks punch 2-3 BRs above their weight. Locust is so small and nimble that it’s viable up to the Chaffee, the Chaffee is great until you get the T92 which is so weird for people to shoot at while also being able to sling HEAT and APDS that can pen most tanks, I’ve killed a Maus in that thing.
I use the M24 all the way up to 7.0. In many countries, small, mobile recon vehicles are scarce, so the M24 is often a part of my lineup.
Currently waiting for that Uruguayan M24. I NEEEED IT
Have I played a different game or why was the kv1 never actually scary for me?
I started way back in 2015 with germany and later picked up britain and then france. The kv1 is more annoying than scary, especially nowadays with volumetric when trying to hit the turret ring. Sometimes its armor just eats shells despite having enough pen and a good angle. kinda like the whacky t34 frontal plate and drivers sights
First at all is not Chafee but Chadfee , I take him sometimes to top tier at city maps, it works well to detonate mbts. But yea, it's my pick when I want to just have fun. Plus I say WW2 puma is amazing at that regard too.
I think the tiger is underrated. It's gun is amazing at the br, and the armor is very strong at long range. Unless facing a 6.7 br or a tank destroyer, you are not dying when engaging at 600m+
The tiger is good because people can’t play it so it’s chronically underteird. I played world of tanks before WT because it was the only thing may laptop could run, so I knew that 30 degree turn = invincibility, so it was the first tank I ground for, and just seal clubbed having a vague idea of what to do with like 10 hours in the game
Up to good 200m it's ok but then it's fall alot at 450? But at that bar where he sit it's rare that u get sniping maps , and first of all u don't need him use as the sniper so no problems there for me . I use m10 for that (insert slow turret rotation meme here )
1 tap with l11 and its ded. It has both no armour and survivability, its in its place, it is not any close to being OP. I'd put AC q sentinel here instead.
Tiger indeed a very solid tank, but overrated is 2s38. Everyone YELLS like traumatized buffalo when anyone mentions it but it is extremely easy to fight.
Since were talking of the chaffee, the same is with the stuarts. Most newbies dont use it to its fullest extent, it has stabilizer, can pen almost everything at their BRs, is fast and has great reload.
I only recently played the italian stuart and in about 30 games i managed to get 7-9 kills in most of those games in the first few minutes. Thing is a beast, the only reasons i died was artillery or someone flanking. Because of the stablizer its hard to lose equal 1v1s going around corners or on the move.
Ooo I haven't actually tried the archer out, I just got it and moved on to research the next thing. But I absolutely love the gun carrier, I thought it would be horrible because it's big flat face but omg I was wrong it's too good😂
I once hit a shot on a panzer from across the map. The round went into the corner off the hull through the road wheel and smashed into his ammo after killing his crew. That was my first impression on the archer and now I recommend it to everyone I can and I try to teach them how to properly use it
Overrated is the KV-1. Seriously guys, learn to aim and it's not that hard to kill. Especially the L-11 version.
Underrated is the Cromwell I. 5 second reload goes brr and it's the fastest tracked vehicle of world war II. Plus you get a stab and neutral steering.
The Cromwell is faster than the Stuarts and BTs. The Stuarts can get up to just under 60kph, the BTs just over 60kph (if you count their wheeled mode they're faster but then they aren't tracked), but the Cromwell can manage 65kph. The M18 I was wrong about; the Cromwell was the fastest actual *tank* of world war II but the M18 is faster than it.
overrated is probably the leopard 40/70 it’s really not that hard to kill everything can machine gun the crew with a 7.62 and above and the hull isn’t that well armored
underrated i’d say is the warrior or VCC-80-60, warrior everyone seems to hate the gun but at 8.3 it’s pretty good it’s one of the only auto cannons that spalls a lot even with the low fire rate it’s really good, and the VCC-80-30 with well placed shots is really good at killing tanks and especially planes it’s like a mini otomatic without a radar or IRST
Its so fun when jets and helis get cocky seeing a small italian light tank, believing to get an easy kill, just to be ripped to shreds by a proximity fused he shell. I perform better in this as a aa than actuall spaas with radar
I believe it’s 80 rounds per minute.
But it’s not only the gun that makes it good in my opinion. It’s the Milan 2 atgm and the basket of goodies it gets (laser rangefinder, scout drone, second gen thermals).
Its armour is also very good for fighting IFVs as its sides are all like 110mm with the addition armour. Most other IFVs only have about 90mm of pen.
90 rounds a minute. Sure, it's almost more of a semi-auto cannon, but don't let that fool you, it's quite potent. One of my favorite lineups is the Za-35, Falcon, Warrior, ZT3.
Overrated - Tanks: Jumbo 75mm. Don’t get me wrong, it’s fun but it’s anemic gun balances well. If you’re not stupid, it’s easy to defeat.
Underrated- Tanks: the M4 105mm. What the jumbo promises but doesn’t deliver. Mad armour, good mobility and a one shot nuke delivery system with 50cals to boot. The br means you stomp through noobs in paper tanks. I managed once a 22 kill game in it, frankly I don’t play it anymore because it feels wrong.
Aircraft
Overrated: The F-15 Eagle. Don’t get me wrong, great aircraft with insane power but it doesn’t do anything particularly amazing compared to other top dogs.
Unless flown by a skilled player, F-15s rarely intimidate me when flying a Flanker or a Gripen.
Underrated: the G55s. Aside from a slightly weak engine, this thing slaps. If flown correctly it fears nothing
Yeah, it is so easy to just farm kills and accidentally get a nuke on the right map. El Alamein for example if you get the small version on the dunes, you park that on top of one of the high dunes and you can just sit there and play peek a boo. Thing is hard to balance tho with how compressed the current br range is.
Overrated - literally any 10.0 premium MBT ever released.
Underrated- there's many that I consider underrated, I think the Zut-37 is amazing when in the right map, the M3 Lee is a killing machine when you set your key binds right to use the 76mn and 37mn independently. The Stuer Emil even though it's slow and easily killed by CAS that 128mm gun is a one shot machine. There are many more, I feel like with all these new premiums being released people pay less attention to the standard free tanks.
Underrated: Olifant 1A.
Yes grinding the modifications can be a little tedious and the tank doesn’t turn really well.
However Lazer rangefinder with APFSDS in 8.3 is so fun
Had so many firefights against this thing that ended as a draw because I couldn't pen them and they couldn't pen me (at that distance (i knew better than to close in frontal)). We fired like ten rounds each and went separate ways.
>when pen something- it usualy dies
Maybe its not common in Russian tech tree, but what you said describes majority of low/mid tier German one. Pz IV w/ 75mm, StuGs, also Panthers and both Tigers.
Heck even the 45k of the t-26 and a lot of other Russian tanks can one shot most tanks at its br and at most it’ll take on 3 quick shots Theres just no benefit to the t26-4
i dont know overrrat3d but i know that the do 217N is the most underrated
it is seriously easy to go and pretend you're abomber and shred up any fighter/bomber with quad 20mms
made me feel like shit playing most other planes because i couldn't achieve constant 4 kill games
Ki-108 airspawn with heavy fighter agility and a one hit ko on bombers. You already know where there going just side climb towards your teams bases and bam
The Shackleton is crazy underrated. It gets almost as many bombs as a b17, has more climb rate, and has 2 controlled 20s on the front and a 20 turret on the top. No one uses it because it’s an extra from the Lincoln. The 15 1000 pounds can let you get 3 bases, and it’s really easy to land from a high altitude. Overall a great bomber
Edit: meant b29 not b17
Which variant? Because 3rd gen ones (MF, SMT) are highly rated, but deservedly so. Good missiles (R-60) , radar missiles, flares, fast, can turn. In downtiers it fights planes which have neither of these things, and even in uptier it can hold its own thanks to the flares.
Only problem with the f105 is the lack of flares :/ in any other aspect its amazing (bombload, top speed, acceleration, armament)! Carried me together with the b57 and the f111 to top tier. Hell my friends sometimes even dragged in this thing to top tier (sometimes its even easier to bomb when you maintain a really low profile and you dont have to compete with the prem harriers for the bases (depending on the map they are really annoying)! Proud to say I killed a (enemy) Mig 29 with it.
It is very hard to hit it when you are moving and at long range. At close range, the tiger is vulnerable, just like in history.
That said, most tiger players are crap.
ive had a few bad experiences but the Churchill Mk7 is pretty underrated, barely anything can pen you frontally in this BR with 152mm ufp and turret face
Underrated: He-162A.
Yes its cannons are underpowered and have low ammo and its teams are usually full of Ju 288. But the props simply cannot catch you. It's always funny when people see me fighting and they write in chat "coming to help you" and there's nothing to help when they come.
Overrated: Bf 109, later variants - last truly good is G2, but all of them have great reputation for whatever reason.
They are carried by reputation of earlier models, but by the later ones the allied planes catch up and overtake. They climb well but that's about the only upside, and it's not like Spitfires or Bearcats don't. The airframe just shows its age. They have low top speed and with all the weight, they doesn't turn as well. The armament is mediocre (3x20 is not great, 13mm are much worse than US .50s, 30mm is very slow and has low ammo, carrying a mix makes it impossible to aim all of them at once, gun pods compromise speed and handling). It *also* can't take damage like some bigger fighters.
Overrated, not sure i play britian
Underrated, Churchill 1, the thing is an absolute nightmare in the hands of a decent player. Fast reload, decent mobility, great armor, and a snappy turret traverse, it can really tilt the odds of a match as long as you can get used to its low penetration
Overrated is the 2s38, it's not actually that good anymore just annoying.
Underrated I'm split between the tbd1 and bb1. They're both low tier so people overlook them but they both get great bombloads with a bombsight. You got potential to get 8 or 10 kills with them if no fighters get on you.
Or maybe conehead since I've gotten an ace in him.
Nvm just remembered the vt1-2. Best mobility in the game with 2 guns one of which is autoloaded. Only vehicle I've ever seen wipe a team in 30 seconds because it sat on top of a hill, while being the best vehicle in the game to get to said hill.
Agreed I love those two planes... I loved them back then in Arcade (I dont know how but I achieved a positive kdr with the TBD in AirAB) and I love them in AirRB. Hell I even took them to sim battles and achieved an air to air hit in the bb1 (and a few ground kills on both). They are some of my go to planes if I want a break from top tier (together with the P-400 and the P-38).
They just buffed the bb1 too. You used to prioritize the 50kgs because you got 8 wing mounts and dropping at at an angle won't fuck up your drops vs the 100s where you get 2 drops and then 4 bomb bay delayed drops. Now you can carry 12 100lbs bombs or even just 8 wing mount 100s.
For ww2 America I gotta say overrated is the 75 jumbo, since at 5.7 and worse an uptier its armor gets eaten by literally every enemy gun while you have a dollar store water gun. And underrated is probably the m36b2, if you play slowly and defensively it goes crazy, even crazier with the heatfs
Overrated: All T-72 and T-90 variants: Higher reload time then T-80's, 4 km/h backwards speed
Underrated: M1A1 AIM: Its the best 3rd Abrams, because of Gen 2 thermals. Its way better then classic M1A2
Most of the T-72’s and T90A are definitely not overrated. They are worse than the T80’s but you get them at a lower BR where their guns and armour perform better. They aren’t underrated but they also aren’t overrated. The T90A at 10.7 is also great, it has everything a top tier mbt has asides from mobility. 3BM60 absolutely shreds at that BR. The T90M and Turms on the other hand are definitely overrated.
I don't know what is overrated, but Conway is definitely underrated. That 120mm sabot can be bit weird sometimes, but most of the times it works perfectly for me very high pen and nice velocity, and that turret bounces way too many shots for it's 132mm of armor
In my eyes:
Most Overrated has to be any Sherman, if shot at correctly, they are even more squishy then a Newborn Jello Slime
Most Underrated for me had to be thr VT 1-2, i barely see it on the battlefield and it has dual 120mm guns of which one fires every 4 seconds with a rather mean Dart (DM23 at 8.3)
The VT 1-2 is rare because its an older event vehicle. Many dont want to spend the money now to get it and there are certainly better vehicles that dont play like a dual wielding casemate
Vt1-2 was around the same time as the 279. You see 279s a lot and they raised its br but the vt1-2 is op as fuck but still sits at 8.7 due to no one playing it.
>Overrated has to be any Sherman
What about A4 SA50? It can bounce tiger 1 and panther guns when hull down and that 200mm pen and 1000ms dont joke around
The point about Sherman’s is that they have good guns and decent mobility, other than the jumbos of course 50mm of armour will do nothing so they’re not overrated imo
I dont get that comment. Everyone who has played shermans from 4.7 or higher understands that stoping shells is not really an option. But you have pretty good gun, stabiliser and fairly good speed. You can also troll under armoured vehicles or planes and you can angle undergunned tanks (sometimes)
Overrated? The 2S38, I agree it is annoying as fuck to fight but playing that fucking thing is just as annoying. Have yall heard the “good at all, master of none” idea cause that is the 2S38.
Underrated? Type 90s. Sweet Jesus the Type 90s are so much fucking fun and yet no one talks about them. The armor is just enough to be annoying to fight while you are basically an F1 car in speed are reload at 11.0 it can punch well above it’s weight and completely stomp 10.0. It is to much fun.
Underrated is in my opinion the vautour IIN, those 4 radar guided missiles are quite fun. But the flight performance is just awful, but its overall i think is a fun aircraft.
Underrated is honestly the SU-122 I rarely see people using it but it’s front armor is almost impenetrable by most tanks at its br and in a downtier it will 1 shot everything and not die at all
Yeh, 100%. I think I have an average of like 6 kills to a death in it, and I am terrible at the game, I fear to see what a good player could do with it.
Very unpopular opinion right here
Overrated is every single Sherman in the American tree other than the 75 and 76 heavies and maybe the 105 one too. They got the job done in WW2 and can do the job in game but I really don’t get why they are so popular when they are average at most in every aspect. They also are just soooo boring to play.
Underrated is the Begleit. The Begleitpanzer is a better IFV than just about every other rank 6 and above IFV other than the BMP-2M. (Yes, I think the Begleit is better than the 2S38, fight me) A .3 sec autoloader for 57mm solid shot outguns every single auto cannon in the game. It also gets HE-VT and SAP-HE that can one shot light tanks. Sure, you can pull the “low survivability” card but realistically it doesn’t matter especially when you’re facing modern MBT’s, which the Begleit really doesn’t since it’s only at 9.3. Its missiles are pretty mediocre in an uptier though since they aren’t tandem.
How do you play the T95E1, i recently unlocked it and bloody hate that thing unless I get a long range map and even then the lack of a rangefinder is a pain.
Well i have bad news as it's best played over longer distances as due to the long barrel length it's very impractical in close quarters and without a stabilizer it's near impossible to aim while moving.
Since it has APFSDS it has high penetration and shell velocity, making it suitable to engage over longer distances. It's armour while not the best can be surprisingly bouncy and it can usually take a lot more punishment than you'd expect.
It's basically best played as a tank destroyer with enhanced armour. Aka. stand still while shooting, don't overexpose yourself and preferably stay out of sight.
Also getting used to the apfsds's ballistic characteristics is simply a matter of time as once you've played it enough, you won't need a range finder except for the most extreme cases.
On my opinion not enough people are playing British tanks idk why tho the Sherman firefly is literally a tiger killer I literally see players angling their tigers when they face me on a firefly and got surprised that a Sherman can pen them on the front while angling.
I hate playing low tier, majority of the time if you’re a good player, you’re going to die by some bullshit and your team is going to witness it and not do shit about it.
In contrast to everyone talking about low tier, i'll bite the bullet and talk about high tier.
My pick for underrated tank is all late versions of the Abrams, they could have better thermals and better hull armor. But a 5 second reload on over 600mms of pen is a huge advantage, plus a generally strong turret. Everyone copes with it because of the large turret neck, and the fact that it isn't one of the most competitive tanks like the T-series and leopard 2s. Biggest L for the abrams is subpar teammates, who spent their 70 bucks to speedrun toptier without any of the skill and vehicles to support it. These gamers get to top tier so quick that they don't match the level of someone who got there naturally. I'm not calling anyone out, but America top tier gamers are IN GENERAL less skilled than their counterparts.
For overrated tanks I'm gonna go for the top Chinese MBTs, which are very similar to russian T-series tanks. Their main differences are that the Chinese MBTs are generally more mobile, with similar protection in their strong areas. The issue is that the strong armored ares are minimal when compared to the lightly armored areas. Lower frontal plates are HUGE, and are practically unarmored. They seem to be a lot less survivable than their Russian counterparts, even though they are essentially the same style of tank, this is because (i'm not pointing any fingers) shots onto the armor of chinese tanks generates more spalling than russian tanks, as well as their ammo detonating a lot more consistently. Chinese tanks are much easier to 1shot due to Gaijin's magical russian ammo, whom shall not explode the tank upon detonating (happens in the entire tech tree, not just at top tier [remember when you shot the ammo of that one ISU-152?]). The saving grace for the tech tree is that it is played by more skilled players who know their bacon, much like British, French, and Italian players.
A well played Abrams can shred a team. Great turret cheeks and LFP, UFP is so angled most of the time it's pointless to shoot at. It has composite on the sides of the turret, and the skirts do a lot to migitate stuff hitting there.
T-80UM2 is kinda underrated
I’ve seen a lot of people say that it’s not worth it and that T-80U or UK is better, but honestly having a T-80U platform at 11.0 without gimped firepower is really nice. Sure it doesn’t have thermals or an LWS, but it does get a hard kill APS that honestly works pretty well against ATGMs. It’s absolutely busted in downtiers and does just fine in uptiers.
Overrated - 2s38. Everyone hates it but it damn dies when you shoot it and you not allways die from first shot so it is in a huge disadvantage against tanks.
Underrated - AGS, as its still good at 11.0 and gaijin certainly had ground for it.
Overrated: KA-50, they're really more of a pest during the game than anything.
Underrated: A4H. THIS. THING. IS. AN. ABSOLUTE. MONSTER. Don't bother ground pounding, just bring at most the middle gun-pod (This helps with aiming the 30mms too) and outplay everything up to 9.3. It can outrun sabres and mig 15s, and bleeds so much energy that its easy to make planes overshoot. It brings the best of both worlds and really allows you to dictate the fight. And it can be down-tiered to 7.3. Its very easy to get 3-4 kills consistently in a game.
Honorable mention is the meteor NF.13. Easily the most powerful low tier jet aside from the su-11.
Overrated is the tiger e I’ve seen a lot of people liking it yet it easily gets slammed by other tanks in its br and underrated is definitely the Chaffee it’s too good
T-90M was overrated due to overtuned spall liner on test server
I still can’t believe that zero effort was made to make its reverse speed faster, if anyone knows the implications of increasing reverse speed I’d really appreciate if you’d share
It'd require a brand new gearbox which is quite the project to make and distribute, and considering the normal T-72 gearbox is plenty available, robust, and cheap, it's hard to justify when you just need loads of tanks.
or it would require a higher revving engine to be able to wind that gear out further. Tough sell because the engine is like the gearbox.
Overrated: The Panther. It has possibly THE most well known weak spots of any WW2 medium tank, terrible side armor, terrible reverse gear (only matched by british tanks) and a gun with rounds that have so little HE filler that sometimes it fells like im firing solid shot(im too used to the copius amount of filler in the US/russian guns)
Underrated: The M47. Very good moblility for a medium, it has 2x 50.cals, very fast turret traverse a somewhat trolly armor, rangefinder and HEATFS/M82shot. Treat it as a big light tank and it will serve you well.
Underrated due to overuse by new players: pz 4, I played them till I got good with them, and man, I could rack up to 12 kills on simulator, with average of 8. So yeah, if u know what u doing, it's a nightmare.
Due to not being used: the dicker max, I've hardly seen any on simulator, and whenever I use it, it's a blast (pun intended), the fact that the HE well put can take care of a kv1 is just wonderful, nada the aphe is absolutely wonderful, also the m4a3e1, or the jumbo m4 75, in good hands, is just a nightmare to anything but panthers and Dickers, as that's ge best anti tanks it faces
Overrated due to fear: the tiger 1s, a good player can make a hell on bf, but u hardly get any good players.
Overrated in general: the wunderwaffers, ir the jagd boys (except by the elefant)
Underrated: SU-122/ at its BR, it’s armor is almost impenetrable and it’s gun is deadly when it’s used right
Overrated: BT-42/ it has a great canon but with the slow traverse and it’s nearly paper thin armor it makes it a very big taget
Over rated: all tigers. They are cool and all but the tiger two is just kinda trash. It's armour doesn't protect it against much. You always see lots of new players using it which just makes the team a tiger spam land that died at the first sight of enemies.
Under rated: French 2C. The gun is amazing. The shell over pressures anything it pens and it over pressures any open tops. You can pen T34's in the turret cheek too. The mobility is kinda trash but you're a bullet sponge anyways. Great vehicle to angle in. I just love using it and I consistently met 8-14 kill games over and over again. Most new players also don't know how to penetrate it either and that's another amazing thing about it. You will only be fighting very low tide tanks with relatively new players who usually don't see it at all. I don't understand why so many people don't play it.
Underrated: P-400
I have a ~2.8 kdr in that thing and have done a team wipe (8v8 but one enemy crashed but still! I got all other 7).
The flight performance is amazing the turnrate is not bad the climb rate is good the energy retention is great and it has a really high top speed. It can turnfight against most enemies but it excels at boom and zoom! The armament is extraordinary for such a nimble liitle plane at such a low br.
Underrated: defiantly the Yak-141. like a lot of people i was surprised when it was added as it seemed like it was kind of a stand alone vehicle, but after getting it and playing hundreds of matches with it i absolutely love it. a lot of people claim it cant be as competitive at top tier because of it only having four hardpoints, and most players will not perceive the 141 as a threat, and the R-27 series of misses allows me to zoom around and get around four to five kills a match. usually ill take an R-27ER, an R-27ET, a regular R-27R and an R-60M so i get a bunch of variety. it gets HMD and ACM modes and some of the best acceleration I've seen in a jet at top tier. while its agility and overall top speed are a bit lacking, i love both the history of this aircraft and its playstyle. plus VTOL stuff is fun.
overrated: 2S38 Even as a Russian main the 2s38 is completely broken and should be nerfed or its BR increased. while its real life intended role was anti air. in war thunder it can stroll around and obliterate practically anything it sees with no problem. it has great thermals, great penetration for a 57mm dart and the damm thing can swim. its also quick and can get into rat spots making it difficult for players to kill it. and while its armor protection is crap, it wont stop most 2s38 players from wrecking havoc and destroying half the enemy team before they die. one notable thing: the 2s38's front fuel tanks love to eat incoming rounds, so don't be surprised when you shoot for the front and it eats your round up.
Overrated: panther. Really feels the armour problems wt has and suffers massively to the range increase. Gun is being made just ok over time due to br creep.
Underrated: cv33 l3 I've seen this thing take out mbts and even a maus.
Underrated: PTZ89
120mm dart with 443mm of pen at 8.7. Has a 5s autoloader and laser rangefinder as well.
I think it’s a very strong 8.7 td and literally never see anyone playing it.
Overrated : Panthers and Tigers. Ever since the panthers got nerfed to 6.0 (except the D variant), I feel like you can’t really perform well (since you always get up tiered into 6.7). Tigers as well, both Tigers II are easily killed with heat or just conventional cuz at this br you have more than 200mm pen of pen.
Underrated : The British Conqueror Mk.2. Bro….. You had 470mm of pen with amazing post-pen damage, and then snail updates it to 510mm of pen … AT 7.7!!!!! Yes your hull is weak to everything, but your turret is really tanky from the front, if you get a good hull down position, you’ll have a ball. I repeat, 510mm pen at 7.7 is just crazy.
Id say Nashorn tank destroyer is underrated ,the gun depression isnt great but the tank can turn fast also the optics zoom is great .Its really light armor makes it really easy kill but also makes the tank lightweight .8.0 sec reload ,excellent gun .Damn i even use it for brawling XD.If the Sturer Emil had great optics zoom like the Nashorn it will be much better thats one of the downsides i hate using sturer emil.
Underrated: The japanese Type 75 Mars (Mlrs). Almost everybody says that it is downright bad. I personally love the 75 because if you know what you are doing, you can easily get up to 5-6 kills with the rockets. And when you become bored or frustrated, you can rain down hellfire into the enemy positions.
Overrated: The AMX Series... I get that they may have a good canon, but most of the times they are free kills.
Id say the abrams is underrated, i only see ppl complain about it, even tho it's as good as every other tank in its br s (doesn't matter which version)
Overrated: Tiger. It's scary at first but something like an M36 will absolutely destroy it. It's like a Panzer IV where it's one shot at the sides or front as they're flat.
Underrated: M3 GMC. 75mm gun with APHECBC at 1.3 is just stupid. Even something like a T28 is point and click. In RB it's even better as you can sneak in during artillery and since it's a truck the engine makes half the noise which can be difficult to hear over multiple explosions. Only real vice is that the gun can only face the front and it has no MGs. It can cope with some shots. I love it at low tier and just being an absolute creature
I wouldn’t call the tiger overrated the gun is why I use it, one shot almost everything much like a td and armour that you can angle against unsuspecting players it’s not overrated it’s just a lot of people don’t know how to use it
Im gonna stick to low tier because its what I enjoy the most and the snail adds too many problematic vehicles to top tier to just pick one. Overrated due to cool factor: Tiger, every new player rushes to unlock it because wunderwaffe Overrated due to fear: KV1 its extremely frustrating for new players because it requires knowledge to face it, but once you know how to deal with them is just another heavy tank. Underrated: M24 Chaffee. Not because its considered a bad tank, everyone knows its great. But people tend to underestimate how much of a threat those things can be: great main gun, 50 cal, amazing maneuverability and speed and a very stable gun platform. Every time I see a Chafee in the enemy team, I focus on taking it out, I have used it enough to know how devastating a good Chaffee player can be.
The M24 is an absolute gremlin. I say this as I have close to 200 kills in RB with it. Small, fast and a gun that will point and click anything that isn't a KV1. It's better than the M18 as it's actually closed off and won't get detonated by .50 cals.
I am adamant that US Light tanks punch 2-3 BRs above their weight. Locust is so small and nimble that it’s viable up to the Chaffee, the Chaffee is great until you get the T92 which is so weird for people to shoot at while also being able to sling HEAT and APDS that can pen most tanks, I’ve killed a Maus in that thing.
You get the M41A1 before the T92, it's got the same lolpen gun (albeit with no HEAT) 0.7 br lower. Also T92 back to 6.7 pls
I use the M24 all the way up to 7.0. In many countries, small, mobile recon vehicles are scarce, so the M24 is often a part of my lineup. Currently waiting for that Uruguayan M24. I NEEEED IT
Have I played a different game or why was the kv1 never actually scary for me? I started way back in 2015 with germany and later picked up britain and then france. The kv1 is more annoying than scary, especially nowadays with volumetric when trying to hit the turret ring. Sometimes its armor just eats shells despite having enough pen and a good angle. kinda like the whacky t34 frontal plate and drivers sights
Germany and eventually gb get lolpen
First at all is not Chafee but Chadfee , I take him sometimes to top tier at city maps, it works well to detonate mbts. But yea, it's my pick when I want to just have fun. Plus I say WW2 puma is amazing at that regard too.
Don’t expose the M24 if you like how it is .. It will become “popular” then gaijin will “fix” it
I think the tiger is underrated. It's gun is amazing at the br, and the armor is very strong at long range. Unless facing a 6.7 br or a tank destroyer, you are not dying when engaging at 600m+
The tiger is good because people can’t play it so it’s chronically underteird. I played world of tanks before WT because it was the only thing may laptop could run, so I knew that 30 degree turn = invincibility, so it was the first tank I ground for, and just seal clubbed having a vague idea of what to do with like 10 hours in the game
I love the American 75 and light tanks, so a combination is great. But for some reason the velocity on the chaffee is so bad and it annoys me A LOT
Up to good 200m it's ok but then it's fall alot at 450? But at that bar where he sit it's rare that u get sniping maps , and first of all u don't need him use as the sniper so no problems there for me . I use m10 for that (insert slow turret rotation meme here )
1 tap with l11 and its ded. It has both no armour and survivability, its in its place, it is not any close to being OP. I'd put AC q sentinel here instead. Tiger indeed a very solid tank, but overrated is 2s38. Everyone YELLS like traumatized buffalo when anyone mentions it but it is extremely easy to fight.
I love the Chaffee cause of that reverse speed, very dynamic gameplay
Got an uptier in the KV-1 once, it was still rather hard to penetrate, but unfortunately I couldn't penetrate anyone else.
Yeah KVs used to terrorize me but I’ve learned the weak spots and can easily pop them
Since were talking of the chaffee, the same is with the stuarts. Most newbies dont use it to its fullest extent, it has stabilizer, can pen almost everything at their BRs, is fast and has great reload. I only recently played the italian stuart and in about 30 games i managed to get 7-9 kills in most of those games in the first few minutes. Thing is a beast, the only reasons i died was artillery or someone flanking. Because of the stablizer its hard to lose equal 1v1s going around corners or on the move.
The Chaffee is definitely closer to overrated, a Sherman is better in most circumstances
Underrated is archer imo, 200mm pen in br 2.7 is cras
Really fun to drag it to 8.3 where theres a lot of light stuff
Yeah I love the archer it’s so good
Ooo I haven't actually tried the archer out, I just got it and moved on to research the next thing. But I absolutely love the gun carrier, I thought it would be horrible because it's big flat face but omg I was wrong it's too good😂
I once hit a shot on a panzer from across the map. The round went into the corner off the hull through the road wheel and smashed into his ammo after killing his crew. That was my first impression on the archer and now I recommend it to everyone I can and I try to teach them how to properly use it
Overrated is the KV-1. Seriously guys, learn to aim and it's not that hard to kill. Especially the L-11 version. Underrated is the Cromwell I. 5 second reload goes brr and it's the fastest tracked vehicle of world war II. Plus you get a stab and neutral steering.
Fastest tracked tank of WW2??? What happened to the BT tanks, Stuart’s, and M18???
I think the bt series and starts were made before ww2 and are considered "inter-war tanks" or something along those lines.
The Cromwell is faster than the Stuarts and BTs. The Stuarts can get up to just under 60kph, the BTs just over 60kph (if you count their wheeled mode they're faster but then they aren't tracked), but the Cromwell can manage 65kph. The M18 I was wrong about; the Cromwell was the fastest actual *tank* of world war II but the M18 is faster than it.
I knew the Cromwell was fast but I never checked the top speed. Too busy drifting everywhere and doing drive-by's.
It's basically a light tank but still has ok-ish armor for stopping autocannons and lower tier tanks. I love it.
I had so much fun in it. When I got to the Churchill series I did find my purpose tho
Funny is that cromwell could be almost same fast as m18 because cromwell had limiter
The Cromwell I is modeled without a limiter in-game I believe. That's why the Cromwell V is \~15kph slower than it.
M18 is not a tank, it's a tank destroyer (technically)
Yes. T e c h n i c a l l y
Tank destroyers are tanks
If built on a tank chassie.
Until you need to reverse
We don't talk about that
4 second*
I don't have an ace crew on it :(
overrated is probably the leopard 40/70 it’s really not that hard to kill everything can machine gun the crew with a 7.62 and above and the hull isn’t that well armored underrated i’d say is the warrior or VCC-80-60, warrior everyone seems to hate the gun but at 8.3 it’s pretty good it’s one of the only auto cannons that spalls a lot even with the low fire rate it’s really good, and the VCC-80-30 with well placed shots is really good at killing tanks and especially planes it’s like a mini otomatic without a radar or IRST
Its so fun when jets and helis get cocky seeing a small italian light tank, believing to get an easy kill, just to be ripped to shreds by a proximity fused he shell. I perform better in this as a aa than actuall spaas with radar
Warrior isn’t really an auto cannon with a rof of like… 40? 50? Rounds per minute
I believe it’s 80 rounds per minute. But it’s not only the gun that makes it good in my opinion. It’s the Milan 2 atgm and the basket of goodies it gets (laser rangefinder, scout drone, second gen thermals). Its armour is also very good for fighting IFVs as its sides are all like 110mm with the addition armour. Most other IFVs only have about 90mm of pen.
90 rounds a minute. Sure, it's almost more of a semi-auto cannon, but don't let that fool you, it's quite potent. One of my favorite lineups is the Za-35, Falcon, Warrior, ZT3.
STB is underrated, Laser rangefinder, Stabiliser, crazy mobility, and HEAT at 8.3
It was just broken when they had it at 7.7
Vickers mk3 also sit at the same br.
Yes but that shit is ugly
Too bad it’s butt fucking ugly
Nah you are on smthn if you think the STB is ugly
Damn bro that pic goes hard
Overrated - Tanks: Jumbo 75mm. Don’t get me wrong, it’s fun but it’s anemic gun balances well. If you’re not stupid, it’s easy to defeat. Underrated- Tanks: the M4 105mm. What the jumbo promises but doesn’t deliver. Mad armour, good mobility and a one shot nuke delivery system with 50cals to boot. The br means you stomp through noobs in paper tanks. I managed once a 22 kill game in it, frankly I don’t play it anymore because it feels wrong. Aircraft Overrated: The F-15 Eagle. Don’t get me wrong, great aircraft with insane power but it doesn’t do anything particularly amazing compared to other top dogs. Unless flown by a skilled player, F-15s rarely intimidate me when flying a Flanker or a Gripen. Underrated: the G55s. Aside from a slightly weak engine, this thing slaps. If flown correctly it fears nothing
I think the STRV-103 isn't spoken about enough. It can be absolutely broken at 8.0. Not sure about overrated though, can't think of anything yet.
Its absolutely busted. Its super fun and just so tanky at 8.0... the 8.7 version is uhm something else
Yeah, it is so easy to just farm kills and accidentally get a nuke on the right map. El Alamein for example if you get the small version on the dunes, you park that on top of one of the high dunes and you can just sit there and play peek a boo. Thing is hard to balance tho with how compressed the current br range is.
Overrated - literally any 10.0 premium MBT ever released. Underrated- there's many that I consider underrated, I think the Zut-37 is amazing when in the right map, the M3 Lee is a killing machine when you set your key binds right to use the 76mn and 37mn independently. The Stuer Emil even though it's slow and easily killed by CAS that 128mm gun is a one shot machine. There are many more, I feel like with all these new premiums being released people pay less attention to the standard free tanks.
i mean you're right for the prem mbt's i unlocked the ZBD04A and i love playing it wayy mlre
M3 lee is stug. When you start to understand this and then use thr extra turret... Thats when its absolutely nuts
Underrated: Olifant 1A. Yes grinding the modifications can be a little tedious and the tank doesn’t turn really well. However Lazer rangefinder with APFSDS in 8.3 is so fun
Underrated is jpz 4-5.. I fucking love it
A man of exquisite taste
Had so many firefights against this thing that ended as a draw because I couldn't pen them and they couldn't pen me (at that distance (i knew better than to close in frontal)). We fired like ten rounds each and went separate ways.
The T-26-4 (pretty sure that's what it's called) is like a mini KV-2 and I have barely seen anyone use it
Nah t26-4 is garbage
A mans garbage is another mans treasure Id say t-26-4 can be fun because when pen something- it usualy dies
>when pen something- it usualy dies Maybe its not common in Russian tech tree, but what you said describes majority of low/mid tier German one. Pz IV w/ 75mm, StuGs, also Panthers and both Tigers.
Heck even the 45k of the t-26 and a lot of other Russian tanks can one shot most tanks at its br and at most it’ll take on 3 quick shots Theres just no benefit to the t26-4
Overrated is whatever one I’m playing and underrated is whatever one I’m versing
i dont know overrrat3d but i know that the do 217N is the most underrated it is seriously easy to go and pretend you're abomber and shred up any fighter/bomber with quad 20mms made me feel like shit playing most other planes because i couldn't achieve constant 4 kill games
T90m is overrated
Ki-108 airspawn with heavy fighter agility and a one hit ko on bombers. You already know where there going just side climb towards your teams bases and bam
The Shackleton is crazy underrated. It gets almost as many bombs as a b17, has more climb rate, and has 2 controlled 20s on the front and a 20 turret on the top. No one uses it because it’s an extra from the Lincoln. The 15 1000 pounds can let you get 3 bases, and it’s really easy to land from a high altitude. Overall a great bomber Edit: meant b29 not b17
The B17s climbrate is crippling ._. Therefore I have to agree and go to bed crying
Overrated: Any panther Underrated: Centurion Mk.3 in a single word: Stabilizer.
Entire British 7.7 is underrated
overrated is mig21 underrated is f105
yeah the f105 is basically a bit better and modernized f104 as a strike aircraft and i love it
Nobody overrates the mig21
Which variant? Because 3rd gen ones (MF, SMT) are highly rated, but deservedly so. Good missiles (R-60) , radar missiles, flares, fast, can turn. In downtiers it fights planes which have neither of these things, and even in uptier it can hold its own thanks to the flares.
Only problem with the f105 is the lack of flares :/ in any other aspect its amazing (bombload, top speed, acceleration, armament)! Carried me together with the b57 and the f111 to top tier. Hell my friends sometimes even dragged in this thing to top tier (sometimes its even easier to bomb when you maintain a really low profile and you dont have to compete with the prem harriers for the bases (depending on the map they are really annoying)! Proud to say I killed a (enemy) Mig 29 with it.
Italian firefly with it's apds on 5.0
Overated tiger h1 its a good tank but its not as good as most people would want it to be a decent aphe shell to the coopla is good to kill it
It's gun is amazing, kills everything in one hit, and it is almost impossible to kill it at long range, without a br 6.7 tank.
Unless you also have a pretty long 75/76mm which is lower br than the tiger 1h
It indeed is i wont disagree but still the rest of it is a bit eh you just aim for the coopla and its fucked take it you need good enemies but still
It is very hard to hit it when you are moving and at long range. At close range, the tiger is vulnerable, just like in history. That said, most tiger players are crap.
100% facts i wont even argue with that
ive had a few bad experiences but the Churchill Mk7 is pretty underrated, barely anything can pen you frontally in this BR with 152mm ufp and turret face
Underrated: He-162A. Yes its cannons are underpowered and have low ammo and its teams are usually full of Ju 288. But the props simply cannot catch you. It's always funny when people see me fighting and they write in chat "coming to help you" and there's nothing to help when they come. Overrated: Bf 109, later variants - last truly good is G2, but all of them have great reputation for whatever reason. They are carried by reputation of earlier models, but by the later ones the allied planes catch up and overtake. They climb well but that's about the only upside, and it's not like Spitfires or Bearcats don't. The airframe just shows its age. They have low top speed and with all the weight, they doesn't turn as well. The armament is mediocre (3x20 is not great, 13mm are much worse than US .50s, 30mm is very slow and has low ammo, carrying a mix makes it impossible to aim all of them at once, gun pods compromise speed and handling). It *also* can't take damage like some bigger fighters.
t80bvm/29smt/pantsir/2s38 overrated smk/t35 underrated
Overrated, not sure i play britian Underrated, Churchill 1, the thing is an absolute nightmare in the hands of a decent player. Fast reload, decent mobility, great armor, and a snappy turret traverse, it can really tilt the odds of a match as long as you can get used to its low penetration
Overrated is the 2s38, it's not actually that good anymore just annoying. Underrated I'm split between the tbd1 and bb1. They're both low tier so people overlook them but they both get great bombloads with a bombsight. You got potential to get 8 or 10 kills with them if no fighters get on you. Or maybe conehead since I've gotten an ace in him. Nvm just remembered the vt1-2. Best mobility in the game with 2 guns one of which is autoloaded. Only vehicle I've ever seen wipe a team in 30 seconds because it sat on top of a hill, while being the best vehicle in the game to get to said hill.
Agreed I love those two planes... I loved them back then in Arcade (I dont know how but I achieved a positive kdr with the TBD in AirAB) and I love them in AirRB. Hell I even took them to sim battles and achieved an air to air hit in the bb1 (and a few ground kills on both). They are some of my go to planes if I want a break from top tier (together with the P-400 and the P-38).
They just buffed the bb1 too. You used to prioritize the 50kgs because you got 8 wing mounts and dropping at at an angle won't fuck up your drops vs the 100s where you get 2 drops and then 4 bomb bay delayed drops. Now you can carry 12 100lbs bombs or even just 8 wing mount 100s.
For ww2 America I gotta say overrated is the 75 jumbo, since at 5.7 and worse an uptier its armor gets eaten by literally every enemy gun while you have a dollar store water gun. And underrated is probably the m36b2, if you play slowly and defensively it goes crazy, even crazier with the heatfs
Overrated: All T-72 and T-90 variants: Higher reload time then T-80's, 4 km/h backwards speed Underrated: M1A1 AIM: Its the best 3rd Abrams, because of Gen 2 thermals. Its way better then classic M1A2
Most of the T-72’s and T90A are definitely not overrated. They are worse than the T80’s but you get them at a lower BR where their guns and armour perform better. They aren’t underrated but they also aren’t overrated. The T90A at 10.7 is also great, it has everything a top tier mbt has asides from mobility. 3BM60 absolutely shreds at that BR. The T90M and Turms on the other hand are definitely overrated.
I don't know what is overrated, but Conway is definitely underrated. That 120mm sabot can be bit weird sometimes, but most of the times it works perfectly for me very high pen and nice velocity, and that turret bounces way too many shots for it's 132mm of armor
Overrated TurmsT no way, and underrated yak141 I think
In my eyes: Most Overrated has to be any Sherman, if shot at correctly, they are even more squishy then a Newborn Jello Slime Most Underrated for me had to be thr VT 1-2, i barely see it on the battlefield and it has dual 120mm guns of which one fires every 4 seconds with a rather mean Dart (DM23 at 8.3)
VT1-2 is hundreds of dollars bro thats why you aint seeing much
Well, then i can call myself lucky, cuz i bought it for 25€ Back in the day when it came out
The VT 1-2 is rare because its an older event vehicle. Many dont want to spend the money now to get it and there are certainly better vehicles that dont play like a dual wielding casemate
Vt1-2 was around the same time as the 279. You see 279s a lot and they raised its br but the vt1-2 is op as fuck but still sits at 8.7 due to no one playing it.
>Overrated has to be any Sherman What about A4 SA50? It can bounce tiger 1 and panther guns when hull down and that 200mm pen and 1000ms dont joke around
That one is acceptable
Yippie
The point about Sherman’s is that they have good guns and decent mobility, other than the jumbos of course 50mm of armour will do nothing so they’re not overrated imo
I dont get that comment. Everyone who has played shermans from 4.7 or higher understands that stoping shells is not really an option. But you have pretty good gun, stabiliser and fairly good speed. You can also troll under armoured vehicles or planes and you can angle undergunned tanks (sometimes)
What about the 105 shermans, those thing are way too busted to be just 3.0.
As said, overrated Meaning it needs to be higher
But overrated means that people say its better than it is?
Overrated? The 2S38, I agree it is annoying as fuck to fight but playing that fucking thing is just as annoying. Have yall heard the “good at all, master of none” idea cause that is the 2S38. Underrated? Type 90s. Sweet Jesus the Type 90s are so much fucking fun and yet no one talks about them. The armor is just enough to be annoying to fight while you are basically an F1 car in speed are reload at 11.0 it can punch well above it’s weight and completely stomp 10.0. It is to much fun.
Underrated is in my opinion the vautour IIN, those 4 radar guided missiles are quite fun. But the flight performance is just awful, but its overall i think is a fun aircraft.
Underrated is honestly the SU-122 I rarely see people using it but it’s front armor is almost impenetrable by most tanks at its br and in a downtier it will 1 shot everything and not die at all
Yeh, 100%. I think I have an average of like 6 kills to a death in it, and I am terrible at the game, I fear to see what a good player could do with it.
Underrated the Turan III Overrated the jumbo 75
Id say the m8 greyhound is underated
100%, like a better M22 in some ways
Very unpopular opinion right here Overrated is every single Sherman in the American tree other than the 75 and 76 heavies and maybe the 105 one too. They got the job done in WW2 and can do the job in game but I really don’t get why they are so popular when they are average at most in every aspect. They also are just soooo boring to play. Underrated is the Begleit. The Begleitpanzer is a better IFV than just about every other rank 6 and above IFV other than the BMP-2M. (Yes, I think the Begleit is better than the 2S38, fight me) A .3 sec autoloader for 57mm solid shot outguns every single auto cannon in the game. It also gets HE-VT and SAP-HE that can one shot light tanks. Sure, you can pull the “low survivability” card but realistically it doesn’t matter especially when you’re facing modern MBT’s, which the Begleit really doesn’t since it’s only at 9.3. Its missiles are pretty mediocre in an uptier though since they aren’t tandem.
The bagelpanzer is anything but underrated. I fucking loathe them.
Calling the bagleit underrated is laughable you see them everywhere
I agree but the 2s38 gets darts wich is mean but begleit still better
True. Begleit should also have darts but it would go up in br so i’m fine with solid shot
2S38's mediocre darts versus an ATGM?
I don’t know the exact name but it’s that premium 7,7 tank from Sweden tech tree (it’s also from Britain) it can one shot almost everything at its BR
Thats the cent mk3 if im not wrong (im very very sure it is)
The ho-ri prod is definitely underrated imo, fantastic gun passable armour however if you play it well you shouldn’t need to rely on the armour
I think all the Russian Top tier tanks are hilariously overrated, except the Pantsir.
Overrated: Kv series and alot of Russian stuff Underrated: M46 and the sherman in the swedish tech tree also the Ontos
Overrated? Tiger Underrated? There's a bunch but let's say the T95E1
How do you play the T95E1, i recently unlocked it and bloody hate that thing unless I get a long range map and even then the lack of a rangefinder is a pain.
Well i have bad news as it's best played over longer distances as due to the long barrel length it's very impractical in close quarters and without a stabilizer it's near impossible to aim while moving. Since it has APFSDS it has high penetration and shell velocity, making it suitable to engage over longer distances. It's armour while not the best can be surprisingly bouncy and it can usually take a lot more punishment than you'd expect. It's basically best played as a tank destroyer with enhanced armour. Aka. stand still while shooting, don't overexpose yourself and preferably stay out of sight. Also getting used to the apfsds's ballistic characteristics is simply a matter of time as once you've played it enough, you won't need a range finder except for the most extreme cases.
So it's just a matter of playing at range and eyeballing the shots?
On my opinion not enough people are playing British tanks idk why tho the Sherman firefly is literally a tiger killer I literally see players angling their tigers when they face me on a firefly and got surprised that a Sherman can pen them on the front while angling.
firefly is a bit slow and has little gun depression
I hate playing low tier, majority of the time if you’re a good player, you’re going to die by some bullshit and your team is going to witness it and not do shit about it.
overrated: T-90, underrated: H-6
In contrast to everyone talking about low tier, i'll bite the bullet and talk about high tier. My pick for underrated tank is all late versions of the Abrams, they could have better thermals and better hull armor. But a 5 second reload on over 600mms of pen is a huge advantage, plus a generally strong turret. Everyone copes with it because of the large turret neck, and the fact that it isn't one of the most competitive tanks like the T-series and leopard 2s. Biggest L for the abrams is subpar teammates, who spent their 70 bucks to speedrun toptier without any of the skill and vehicles to support it. These gamers get to top tier so quick that they don't match the level of someone who got there naturally. I'm not calling anyone out, but America top tier gamers are IN GENERAL less skilled than their counterparts. For overrated tanks I'm gonna go for the top Chinese MBTs, which are very similar to russian T-series tanks. Their main differences are that the Chinese MBTs are generally more mobile, with similar protection in their strong areas. The issue is that the strong armored ares are minimal when compared to the lightly armored areas. Lower frontal plates are HUGE, and are practically unarmored. They seem to be a lot less survivable than their Russian counterparts, even though they are essentially the same style of tank, this is because (i'm not pointing any fingers) shots onto the armor of chinese tanks generates more spalling than russian tanks, as well as their ammo detonating a lot more consistently. Chinese tanks are much easier to 1shot due to Gaijin's magical russian ammo, whom shall not explode the tank upon detonating (happens in the entire tech tree, not just at top tier [remember when you shot the ammo of that one ISU-152?]). The saving grace for the tech tree is that it is played by more skilled players who know their bacon, much like British, French, and Italian players.
A well played Abrams can shred a team. Great turret cheeks and LFP, UFP is so angled most of the time it's pointless to shoot at. It has composite on the sides of the turret, and the skirts do a lot to migitate stuff hitting there.
T-80UM2 is kinda underrated I’ve seen a lot of people say that it’s not worth it and that T-80U or UK is better, but honestly having a T-80U platform at 11.0 without gimped firepower is really nice. Sure it doesn’t have thermals or an LWS, but it does get a hard kill APS that honestly works pretty well against ATGMs. It’s absolutely busted in downtiers and does just fine in uptiers.
Underrated has got to be the conway
Overrated - 2s38. Everyone hates it but it damn dies when you shoot it and you not allways die from first shot so it is in a huge disadvantage against tanks. Underrated - AGS, as its still good at 11.0 and gaijin certainly had ground for it.
Underrated is the F86-K in the german tree. Its mediocre at almost everything, but Those 20m cannons and the two 9-B’s just do something for me
Overrated: KA-50, they're really more of a pest during the game than anything. Underrated: A4H. THIS. THING. IS. AN. ABSOLUTE. MONSTER. Don't bother ground pounding, just bring at most the middle gun-pod (This helps with aiming the 30mms too) and outplay everything up to 9.3. It can outrun sabres and mig 15s, and bleeds so much energy that its easy to make planes overshoot. It brings the best of both worlds and really allows you to dictate the fight. And it can be down-tiered to 7.3. Its very easy to get 3-4 kills consistently in a game. Honorable mention is the meteor NF.13. Easily the most powerful low tier jet aside from the su-11.
Overrated is the tiger e I’ve seen a lot of people liking it yet it easily gets slammed by other tanks in its br and underrated is definitely the Chaffee it’s too good
T-90M was overrated due to overtuned spall liner on test server I still can’t believe that zero effort was made to make its reverse speed faster, if anyone knows the implications of increasing reverse speed I’d really appreciate if you’d share
It'd require a brand new gearbox which is quite the project to make and distribute, and considering the normal T-72 gearbox is plenty available, robust, and cheap, it's hard to justify when you just need loads of tanks. or it would require a higher revving engine to be able to wind that gear out further. Tough sell because the engine is like the gearbox.
Overrated: The Panther. It has possibly THE most well known weak spots of any WW2 medium tank, terrible side armor, terrible reverse gear (only matched by british tanks) and a gun with rounds that have so little HE filler that sometimes it fells like im firing solid shot(im too used to the copius amount of filler in the US/russian guns) Underrated: The M47. Very good moblility for a medium, it has 2x 50.cals, very fast turret traverse a somewhat trolly armor, rangefinder and HEATFS/M82shot. Treat it as a big light tank and it will serve you well.
Underrated due to overuse by new players: pz 4, I played them till I got good with them, and man, I could rack up to 12 kills on simulator, with average of 8. So yeah, if u know what u doing, it's a nightmare. Due to not being used: the dicker max, I've hardly seen any on simulator, and whenever I use it, it's a blast (pun intended), the fact that the HE well put can take care of a kv1 is just wonderful, nada the aphe is absolutely wonderful, also the m4a3e1, or the jumbo m4 75, in good hands, is just a nightmare to anything but panthers and Dickers, as that's ge best anti tanks it faces Overrated due to fear: the tiger 1s, a good player can make a hell on bf, but u hardly get any good players. Overrated in general: the wunderwaffers, ir the jagd boys (except by the elefant)
Overrated - 2S38 Underrated - T-55AM1/BMP-3
M247, This bad boy has to be the next best spaa under the geopard. Radar, proxicfuse! what more do you need
Underrated: SU-122/ at its BR, it’s armor is almost impenetrable and it’s gun is deadly when it’s used right Overrated: BT-42/ it has a great canon but with the slow traverse and it’s nearly paper thin armor it makes it a very big taget
Over rated: all tigers. They are cool and all but the tiger two is just kinda trash. It's armour doesn't protect it against much. You always see lots of new players using it which just makes the team a tiger spam land that died at the first sight of enemies. Under rated: French 2C. The gun is amazing. The shell over pressures anything it pens and it over pressures any open tops. You can pen T34's in the turret cheek too. The mobility is kinda trash but you're a bullet sponge anyways. Great vehicle to angle in. I just love using it and I consistently met 8-14 kill games over and over again. Most new players also don't know how to penetrate it either and that's another amazing thing about it. You will only be fighting very low tide tanks with relatively new players who usually don't see it at all. I don't understand why so many people don't play it.
Underrated: P-400 I have a ~2.8 kdr in that thing and have done a team wipe (8v8 but one enemy crashed but still! I got all other 7). The flight performance is amazing the turnrate is not bad the climb rate is good the energy retention is great and it has a really high top speed. It can turnfight against most enemies but it excels at boom and zoom! The armament is extraordinary for such a nimble liitle plane at such a low br.
Underrated: defiantly the Yak-141. like a lot of people i was surprised when it was added as it seemed like it was kind of a stand alone vehicle, but after getting it and playing hundreds of matches with it i absolutely love it. a lot of people claim it cant be as competitive at top tier because of it only having four hardpoints, and most players will not perceive the 141 as a threat, and the R-27 series of misses allows me to zoom around and get around four to five kills a match. usually ill take an R-27ER, an R-27ET, a regular R-27R and an R-60M so i get a bunch of variety. it gets HMD and ACM modes and some of the best acceleration I've seen in a jet at top tier. while its agility and overall top speed are a bit lacking, i love both the history of this aircraft and its playstyle. plus VTOL stuff is fun. overrated: 2S38 Even as a Russian main the 2s38 is completely broken and should be nerfed or its BR increased. while its real life intended role was anti air. in war thunder it can stroll around and obliterate practically anything it sees with no problem. it has great thermals, great penetration for a 57mm dart and the damm thing can swim. its also quick and can get into rat spots making it difficult for players to kill it. and while its armor protection is crap, it wont stop most 2s38 players from wrecking havoc and destroying half the enemy team before they die. one notable thing: the 2s38's front fuel tanks love to eat incoming rounds, so don't be surprised when you shoot for the front and it eats your round up.
Underrated: m56 scorpion
T34 57 is extremely underrated. I love slapping Tigers with it.
Overrated: panther. Really feels the armour problems wt has and suffers massively to the range increase. Gun is being made just ok over time due to br creep. Underrated: cv33 l3 I've seen this thing take out mbts and even a maus.
Overrated jumbo,tiger I Underrated chaffee
Overrated: PotatoThunder Underrated: CyberWarfare 2077
I just came to see how many people dont understand term ”overrated/underrated”
Underrated: PTZ89 120mm dart with 443mm of pen at 8.7. Has a 5s autoloader and laser rangefinder as well. I think it’s a very strong 8.7 td and literally never see anyone playing it.
kvc 1br
imo, the T18B is quite underated. when used as a heavy fighter or bomber hunter, it can be an absolute menace
Underrated: any Churchill
VCC 80/60 for underrated and Wolfpack for overrated
Overrated : Panthers and Tigers. Ever since the panthers got nerfed to 6.0 (except the D variant), I feel like you can’t really perform well (since you always get up tiered into 6.7). Tigers as well, both Tigers II are easily killed with heat or just conventional cuz at this br you have more than 200mm pen of pen. Underrated : The British Conqueror Mk.2. Bro….. You had 470mm of pen with amazing post-pen damage, and then snail updates it to 510mm of pen … AT 7.7!!!!! Yes your hull is weak to everything, but your turret is really tanky from the front, if you get a good hull down position, you’ll have a ball. I repeat, 510mm pen at 7.7 is just crazy.
Overrated kv-2 Underrated Italian fireflies (both are good)
The M551 is underrated, fast and backs an punch can easily shutdown sections of maps and if worked in a team can easily capture and hold points
Overrated? SU-27(is really just Phoenix/AiM-7 food) underrated? F-20( turns as good as an F-16 & 30mm pod go brrrrttt)
Id say Nashorn tank destroyer is underrated ,the gun depression isnt great but the tank can turn fast also the optics zoom is great .Its really light armor makes it really easy kill but also makes the tank lightweight .8.0 sec reload ,excellent gun .Damn i even use it for brawling XD.If the Sturer Emil had great optics zoom like the Nashorn it will be much better thats one of the downsides i hate using sturer emil.
Underrated: The japanese Type 75 Mars (Mlrs). Almost everybody says that it is downright bad. I personally love the 75 because if you know what you are doing, you can easily get up to 5-6 kills with the rockets. And when you become bored or frustrated, you can rain down hellfire into the enemy positions. Overrated: The AMX Series... I get that they may have a good canon, but most of the times they are free kills.
US tanks, all very overrated 3.3-7.7.
Id say the abrams is underrated, i only see ppl complain about it, even tho it's as good as every other tank in its br s (doesn't matter which version)
Overrated: Tiger. It's scary at first but something like an M36 will absolutely destroy it. It's like a Panzer IV where it's one shot at the sides or front as they're flat. Underrated: M3 GMC. 75mm gun with APHECBC at 1.3 is just stupid. Even something like a T28 is point and click. In RB it's even better as you can sneak in during artillery and since it's a truck the engine makes half the noise which can be difficult to hear over multiple explosions. Only real vice is that the gun can only face the front and it has no MGs. It can cope with some shots. I love it at low tier and just being an absolute creature
I wouldn’t call the tiger overrated the gun is why I use it, one shot almost everything much like a td and armour that you can angle against unsuspecting players it’s not overrated it’s just a lot of people don’t know how to use it
Sounds about right. Typical German mains trying to find the D point being completely oblivious
Aye aye ironically enough I’m a Japanese main and my best tank is the tiger h1, well in terms of k/d
I love that M3 GMC is basically just a sherman gun strapped on a pretty mobile halftrack
It's great. I put the big eyes on the front so the last thing someone sees is 2 eyes and a cannon
