World of Tanks Maus - 9 Kills 10,7K Damage

Medals received: Radley-Walters' Medal, Spartan, Steel Wall, High Caliber, Top Gun

The Maus is a German tier 10 heavy tank.

Developed from June 1942 through July 1944, with two prototypes produced, only one of which received a turret and armament.

The heaviest (although, thanks to the Type 5 Heavy, no longer biggest) tank in World of Tanks, the Maus is certainly a mammoth tank, with the largest health pool of any other vehicle currently in the game. Combining that immense hitpoint count with some of the thickest tank armor around means that if an enemy vehicles gun lacks any significant penetration capability, fighting the Maus will not go well. However, the lack of sloping anywhere on the tank, except for the frontal armor, can allow tank guns with adequate penetration to punch through the sides and rear with relative ease; even more so if the Maus is not angled properly. Additionally, weaknesses in the frontal armor such as the lower glacis plate are fairly large and can be reliably targeted. Another weakness when engaging this tank from the front is to shoot at its turret "cheeks" because despite their sloped appearance and high armor values, the turret cheeks are mostly flat mid center and will rarely withstand a shell with sufficient penetration. This can be quite difficult to achieve, however, if the driver turns the turret away to angle the armor. In fact, most of the aforementioned weaknesses can be negated by simply positioning the tank in a way that makes incoming shells impact at an angle.

The 12.8cm main gun is similar to the 130mm cannon of the IS-7, dealing the same amount of damage but sacrificing penetration for improved accuracy. The low damage output of the 12.8 cm gun means that the Maus is best served as a team's front line vanguard, forcing a breakthrough and drawing the bulk of enemy fire while it's teammates follow through and return fire back at the attackers. The maneuverability of the Maus is what one would expect from a super heavy tank - slow and cumbersome. This makes the Maus a favored target of artillery although even tier X SPGs will become frustrated when faced with dealing relatively minimal damage to the Maus as opposed to other, less armored tanks. Especially so if the Maus is fitted with reinforced spall liner. Overall the Maus is definitely a front line combatant and should be used as such. Advancing on enemy positions while protecting it's teammates with it's impressive armor will ensure a confident assault and will significantly increase your odds of success.

As of patch 9.17.1, the Maus received a significant buff to its performance. Its turret front became even more armored, allowing for a significantly lesser amount of angling in order to maximize the armor's performance as well as the removal of the glaring track weakspots located behind the "mud flaps" in the front of the tank. The gun of the Maus was not left out in the cold either. It's DPM, dispersion values, accuracy and aim time were all majorly improved. In it's current iteration, the Maus is a tremendous threat to any team and can overrun defenses as well as repel attacks with extraordinary efficiency.

The Maus marks the end of its German heavy line.

World of Tanks O-Ni - 10 Kills 5,1K Damage

Medals received: Pool's Medal, Spartan, Steel Wall, high Caliber, Top Gun

The O-Ni is a Japanese tier 7 heavy tank.

A further development of the O-I with improved anti-tank guns. The military command's plan was to improve the earlier models and achieve a higher level of armor protection on the vehicle. Existed only in blueprints. No finished prototypes were built and the vehicle never saw action.

Also known as "Onii-chan" (thanks to anime influence), The O-Ni represents a fairly significant change in attributes from the previous O-I. In addition to being quite a lot lighter (100 tons compared to 150 tons O-I) but also having bit worse top speed than its predecessor, it has to contend with the added weak points of its frontal turrets and the corner cheeks of its armor layout. This makes angling and side-scrapping much less effective than in previous tanks. It also sports some of the worst camo values in the game which, combined with its still large size, make it an easy target for SPG fire. On the other hand, its frontal armor still remains impressive for its tier and it also has the largest HP pool out of any Tier VII. While it still retains the previous tank's 15cm cannon, the O-Ni has improved reloading time. The O-Ni also gains the ability to use the improved 10cm gun which can easily devastate most tanks you will face in battle. The O-Ni is best played as a second-line support tank that always keeps the enemy team directly in front so as to avoid any damage to the relatively weak side armor, while also allowing you to pull back during your reloads.

The O-Ni leads to the O-Ho.

World of Tanks T-54 first prototype - 6 Kills 7,3K Damage

Medals received: Spartan, Steel Wall, High Caliber, Top Gun

The T-54 first prototype is a Soviet tier 8 premium medium tank.

Developed at Factory No. 183 in 1944. It was based on the T-44, with many components modified to enhance the armor and armament of the new vehicle. According to one source, the first prototype was built at the end of 1944. However, some other sources mention another date—January 1945. The tank underwent trials in March and April 1945, but never entered mass production.

World of Tanks KV-5 - 6 Kills 7,3K Damage

Medals received: Cool-Headed, Steel Wall, High Caliber, Top Gun

The KV-5 is a Soviet tier 8 premium heavy tank.

Development began in June 1941 at the Leningrad Kirov Plant and was completed by August, but plans were interrupted due to the complicated situation on the front. The KV-5 was to utilize some components of the KV-1. A new turret was designed, incorporating the 107-mm ZIS-6 gun. Two roadwheels and a single support roller were to be added on each side. A new 1,200 h.p. diesel engine was being developed for the vehicle, however it was not completed in time and was replaced with two V-2K engines.

This tank is known for its many weakspots as well as its impotent but fast-firing 107 ZiS-6M. It's surprisingly fast for a heavy tank, which tends to come in handy when you fail to pen your opponents.

Being extremely heavy and featuring a high top speed enables ramming of other tanks - adding to the damage output.

The KV-5 was buffed in 9.2. This buff was received badly by the community, and largely viewed as a pointless attempt at improving things that were fine while failing to address the core issues. This is in large part due to the KV-5's status as a 'veteran tank', that unlike the Type 59 has yet to see any competitive buffs.

There are many weak spots on this tank, which even after buffs to the armor model (9.2) means that you'll bounce close to nothing in an 'aimed brawl'. There are also a lot of flat surfaces of the turret. Granted that your extremely non-meta penetration values (both for AP and APCR) allows you to do anything but ding your opponent, the KV-5 can certainly be a force to be reckoned with. Just not against T9s, or even most T8 heavies. Or hulldown medium tanks, for that matter. Oh, and you probably won't spot any 'vision gaming' tank destroyers either.

In short, the KV-5 is an Swiss cheese roadblock that can work well if it doesn't face any armour. Does fit an aggressive playstyle rather well, but not worth your hard-earned money. This tank was removed from the in game store with the introduction of version 0.7.5.

World of Tanks Caernarvon - 7 Kills 7,8K Damage

Medals received: Pascucci's Medal, Steel Wall, High Caliber, Top Gun

The Caernarvon is a British tier 8 heavy tank.

Development of this infantry support tank started in 1944. The first prototype was ready for trials in 1952. A total of 21 tanks were manufactured but never entered service. Some of the vehicles were later converted into Conqueror heavy tanks.

A big change in the British heavy tank line, the Caernarvon marks the beginning of the "Universal Tank" era of the tree. Therefore, its mobility is much better than that of the Black Prince. However the hull armor is not as thick despite being sloped which is something previous tanks lacked. The top gun is an improvement of the one from its predecessor in terms of aim time, accuracy and rate of fire and has an ideal role for hulldown tactics as its large and well-armoured (269.9mm) gun mantlet can eat most shots tier-for-tier with no consequence. This playstyle has been improved with patch 9.20.1 which upgraded the top gun from a twenty pounder to the 32 pounder.

Unfortunately, it takes quite a while to realize this tank's potential if one has not previously unlocked modules on the British Medium tree. This tank has low alpha damage (280) and weak hull armor - therefore it is absolutely crucial to exploit this tank's strengths to the maximum in order to be successful in it, most notably its incredibly high rate of fire combined with tough turret and nice gun depression. When played to its strengths, this tank can indeed be fearsome and after the latest buffs in patch 9.20.1 it is now widely considered to be among the best tier 8 heavy tanks.

The Caernarvon leads to the Conqueror.

World of Tanks O-I - 6 Kills 4,8K Damage

Medals received: High Caliber, Top Gun

The O-I is a Japanese tier 6 heavy tank.

Development of the superheavy tank was started after the Battles of Khalkhyn Gol in 1939. The vehicle was designed as a maneuverable fire unit that was unprecedented in scale—its hull alone weighed 100 tons. Only one prototype was built, without a turret and made of construction steel. Trials were discontinued due to the unreliable engine; at the end of 1944, the prototype was scrapped. The 15 cm howitzer was to be mounted on the tank after its assembly.

Also known as Derp Demon or Emperor of Derp. The O-I were basically KV-2 on steroids. Not only carrying the most powerful gun of its tier, the O-I also sporting some of the toughest protection in tier 6, it can withstand even higher tiers with its thick armor. it had two gun choices; a powerful 10cm AP gun with high penetration, and a trademark 15cm "derp gun" with insane alpha damage.

However, like every Japanese heavy tank after tier 4, it is huge and massive (even larger than most of tier 10s) as well as quite slow, and will usually become the primary target of SPGs and flankers.

The O-I leads to the O-Ni.
