Playing the MOST EXPENSIVE Tanks in World of Tanks!

[@demiliosfercudo1038]

Not really, I have fought Pz II Js in my tech tree tank and pretty much my team has only 1 Pz S35 to fight him but proceeds to yolo and die. So the II J goes to have a good time doing 2K+ damage and Top Gun, etc.

[@imnotusingmyrealname4566]

Yeah the Pz II J is crap, one of the worst tanks. Ultra expensive to run and even then the penetration and DMP is not great and low tier premiums absolutely shred this. Not even the Sahariano, but also something like the Russian T-29 just absolutely destroy it.

[@emergingloki]

That 57mm on the A43 is the reason the T-28 is such a monster in the right hands at tier 4. I've had Matilda players and tier 5 and 6 heavies accusing me of using cheats.

[@imnotusingmyrealname4566]

The T-29 is even worse. That thing is low tier cancer. It's got that great gun but it's fast!

My biggest regret in WoT is picking Pz II J in that key event we had a few years ago where we got to pick a free tank. The other one I could have gone for was tier 5 german medium, one that looks like a Panther. I literally played 2 games in Pz II J, hated it, and now I have nothing nice to play tier 5 with friends who are new to WoT.

[@BlackoutGootraxian]

O-I exp is a very underrated heavy, because its hidden in the collectors tab. The DPM is insane, i have gotten it to around 2.5k, but its possible to get it to 2.7k with bond equipment. I would say its a very good tier 5 heavy and you could use it to play with friends.

the panzer 2j was a tier 2 ..they raised it to tier 3 and then you are forced to use gold nearly all the time ...that's the reason for the high running cost

[@ganndeber1621]

They also increased low tier hit points which meant it could not kill as easily and lost more credits, when they were trying to kill they were vulnerablle. I bought one in 2012 and it was great fun, now its a joke PZ35s is better in everyway

I played the A-43 with the 76mm gun and two-marked it. I don't remember losing lots of money playing it. People made fun of me when I brought it into the tier 6 team battles and everyone else had a Cromwell. It did quite well, though it is a little bit slower. It would bounce some shots that would have penned the Cromwell, so that was fun too.

[@jacobs.9797]

I don't know, something about spamming the PZ II J all battle long, only to bounce most of those and soak up a ton of damage before dying is super fun and disappointing simultaneously.

[@earljeremy2364]

I hate the 279e so bad, such a toxic tank. It makes me happy that it costs so much to play.

must be said though with premiums to farm credits plus a premium account most people with a 279e don't even notice the price

[@MatthiasBouillon]

How could you get your hands on it again? Yesterday I saw a player with 43% winrate in it. Only on the 279, he had 53% 😅

[@Steamrick]

@Earl Jeremy - the 279e is on the very short list of tanks I load gold against without even trying regular ammo. Normally I hate to spam gold. @Matthias Bouillon - you have to go through the newer set of campaign missions. The most annoying part is the arty-specific missions.

[@sternencolonel7328]

The italian M15 has the same gun and HEAT pen, there are actually quite a lot tanks that can dispatch the IIJ, if they are willing to spam gold

[@imnotusingmyrealname4566]

If you actually own a Pz II J you will find that that's exactly what they do. It's slow and got a terrible gun and its armor can be negated by not only TDs with premium ammo but even some premium tanks like the Russian T-29 medium tank, which has amazing mobility, amazing gun and is even decently armored.

[@danielkis719]

QB, I would like to see a guide to experimental equipment and what tanks should I use it on.

[@durachoks]

how can anyone tell you that? If you don't like being set on fire or ammo racked in a particular tank, use experimental hardening, and experimental turbo is just flat out better than standard one, so you can use it on any tank you are using normal turbo, obviously tanks with bad gun handling will benefit the most from new turbo, and fire control is useless, so just use that for components and upgrade other two

[@DarkatronLP]

[@degesa7034]

i wonder that the BDR G1B (french tier 5 heavy) did not make it on that list. the cost of 90mm gold ammo (APCR, 4800 credits) are higher than some tier 10 heavy gold rounds... same cost as Foch B gold rounds with ridiculously lower efficiency in pen and damage.

[@mkzhero]

As a free player i remember the t54, prior to buffs many years ago but just after losing his amazing turret armor to the hd patch was one of my absolute nightmares both in terms of profitability and just to play in general. Would get ammoracked, fueltanked like crazy, lose crew too. The gun was horrifically inaccurate, and 200 penetration at tier 9 is NOTHING... No gun depression, almost everything overmatched the roof after the hd patch... So it was horrible to actually play, but the profits, dear god! The repairs cost a lot. And i DO MEAN A LOT! Like 20-30 k, dunno how much it is now. Then the ammo was, and still is one of the most expensive at like 1400 or 1300 silver per shot, for a measly 320 damage... And with the good fire rate, but abysmal accuracy and penetration, that meant most of those would either miss or not penetrate. So, in some losing games, not using any gold, using only normal consumables and no rations, it'd lose 40-55k silver! The thing just horrified me. But it also pissed me off because losing so much credits also got me NO EXPERIENCE, so to negate the extreme module loss i put premium consumables, rations, retrained ammo rack and maintenance as first skills for the little gold i did have around, and loaded about half the magazine with gold which has its ludicrous penetration boost... And using that crazy expensive loadout... It lost about as much credits, but at least get the exp! On bad games though... Yeah, it could lose as much as 120~k. Wonder how it is nowadays? I saw its german reward brother was just shy of ehat qb played loss wise...
