Everyone stop whining, let’s talk about something fun.

Medium tanks, most versatile of them all, often the cream of the crop in their TT. We all love them, but which one you like the most, are there some underappreciated ones? Share your opinions!

I like the AMX M4. A lovely autoloading beast.

T34 everytime. Sherman hugely underrated in game and IRL.

Here is a question? Was the Panzer IV really the Workhorse of the German army in WW2 or was it the Panzer III or Stug?

1.) M4A3 (76) W … love it.
2.) Type 61/ ST-A3 … no armor = best armor
3.) Centurion Mk3 … fresh in my lineup but boy if it hits it hits hard
guilty pleasure.) M41A3 … not easy to play but I love my baby

To be honest, I really enjoyed ST-A tank series. The third version (I enjoyed the most) have 6 sec autoloader, which you meet rarely. And they have incredible cannons!

Most underappreciated by far is the 76 m4a3. My favourite is probably the japanese one, or the t34 85. A very good but also overlooked one is the m4a1 75, which is unfortunately a bit overtiered.

WW2 Challenger for me. Fast, great gun as long as you aren’t victim to shell shattering BS and fast neutral steer.

Lorraine 40t, very quick with a 4 second autoloader, plays much more like a light tank though

Sweden premium Sherman and the Italian composito ,just a lot of fun for some reason and for a Sherman I have a lot of confidence in them.

Pick them up in the sale ,they fill the line ups nicely as well.

Have to get the mandatory Strv-103 shilling done, such a fun and unique vehicle with no real counterpart, makes for an interesting and variable playstyle and forces you to adapt to situation in a way that allows for a fundamental improvement of decision making and skill, not to mention it looks wonderful

I know unpopular opinion: but I love the Japanese M47. The STA-3 with its 6.7 autoloader is also awesome

T-34-85 the 5.3 version in my opinion is the best medium tank.

Also quite nice mobility and relatively good gun depression

Especially in sim :)

M46 Patton.

Comparison with the Leo 1:

  • The M46 has better (more versatile) firepower than the Leopard 1.
  • It’s got better all around armour protection, especially in downtiers and vs SPAA/autocannons.
  • It’s got better survivability thanks to the extra crew.
  • It’s got slightly inferior mobility, but still fantastic mobility and likely the best mobility of any medium tank at it’s BR.
  • It’s got virtually identical gun handling.

They used to only be 0.3 BR apart, but then all of the M46’s competitors moved up massively whilst it somehow stayed untouched at 7.0.
It’s now free to seal club the 6.0 - 7.0 BR range.

The T-34-100 is an absolute monster at 6.3 because 80% of the time I’m fighting 5.3-5.7 tanks. I can upper front plate Jumbos and Panthers from any distance.

The regular T-34-76 tanks are the best rank 2 mediums by far.

With armour and engine stoping any shell apart from APDSFS they are best roadblock :)
