For me it is the QN506. I think it is my most played vehicle. Something about it just works for me. Maybe its the 30mm, atgms, and 4 fnf missiles.

It is surprisingly good at downing low flying aircraft/helis with it’s tracking radar or what ever it has.

I remember crafting this tank was tedious. Those first on the market tried selling it for over 2000 usd which made me laugh.

Plane: The F2A-x series Buffalos/Swedish (Finnish) B-239

Tank: They all suck. There are ones I WANT to be a favorite, but all tanks are equally disappointing

Ship: Can’t decide between USS Moffet or HMS Cadiz Nuts

Jagdpanther. It was the first model kit I built with my late father when I was a kid.
For aircraft it is the Bf-109 E.

M1 IP for tanks
Probably F-11F for planes

Both fun vehicles with one super good thingy that makes them odd in their own right. I enjoy both of those vehicles very nuch

As i fly only planes:

The Swiss C-3604 at BR 2.7 in the German air TT.

Amazing turn performance if you use a joystick, good 20 mm cannons (absent in the German TT thx to MG 151/20 nerf) and challenging lobbies as you are usually surrounded by entire lobbies with Bf 110s and Me 410s which get stomped by US/USSR/UK single engine fighters, so in 60-70% of those matches i am the last player of my GER team.

Currently i sit on 1.413 kills vs 56 deaths.

My last really good match (7 kills, 1 enforced headon):

Gaijin Entertainment - Single Sign On

Highly recommended - but be aware of that 60-70% of your battles are full uptiers.

Edit:

A typical match from today - 7 kills, 6 of them whilst playing 1 vs 8 (i don’t count my last teammate in a DB-3. Enemy aircraft stomped my team team (as usual):

For tanks right now, it’s easily the American T58:

I knew it was going to be the absolute ultimate monster American heavy tank if it was ever added when I was a little wee lad dreaming about it from WoT while playing the Ground Forces Beta, and also a little while later when they added the Maus, IS-7, Surblindé and Object 279.

When the T58 was originally thought to be a mock-up vehicle in pre-2019, I was really worried that it would have trouble being added until more leaked photographs of the completed actual vehicle finally arrived earlier this year (huge thanks to Harold Biondo).

Now that it is finally in-game, I can rest now while overpressuring vehicles every 2.6 seconds with a funny 155mm bonk derp shell that can out-reload modern MBTs and SPH artillery vehicles.

For aircraft, it’s going to be the I-301:

This was the first event/rare aircraft I ever got (by complete accident in the F8F-1B).

It’s a LaGG-3 prototype but with ALOT of firepower…

1 x 23 mm PTB-23 cannon
2 x 12.7mm UBS heavy machine guns
2 x 7.62mm ShKAS light machine guns

To be exact.

Anything at Rank II or in the 3.0 BR range will not have a fun time doing head-ons against you in this plane.

For ships, it’s going to be the USS P̶r̶o̶f̶i̶t̶ Moffett:

This Destroyer has helped me alot as an assistant with filing for personal bankruptcy with Silver Lions, especially during those gambling and lootbox days. That’s pretty much it. Cheers.

Ground: Chieftan Mk 10, the turret armor is absolutely crazy

Air: I’ve had a lot of fun in the Sea Harrier FRS.1 in sim, despite its current struggles

If you like reading about WW2 warbirds grab a copy of “The Jolly Rogers” by Tom Blackburn, It’s about his time commanding VF-17 squadron flying Corsairs in the Pacific.

F-16 family definitely
Cuz I first read about it in Dan Hampton’s book
First flew it in Falcon BMS, then DCS, then Warthunder.

Love to fly the US Block50 in game, the most modernized Viper I believe.
More skins for the F-16 plz

Also love to see a late Block30 in game.

Amx-50 120 and Su-30M.

Very pretty.

Fave plane easily the 4.3 Typhoon.

Fave tank is Pt-76, T-34-85, or Vk 3002 depending on what I’m feeling.

Thinking about it, I dont have single favorite vehicle, because I switch between several different BRs, which obviously all have different tanks. To pick few:

M4A3E8, more specifically the Hell on Wheels version. Pretty much best 5.7 medium in game, fight me.

Conqueror, gun sounds like Halo sniper rifle and plays like one too.

Vilkas, M3 Bradley or Scimitar are all pretty good for their respective BRs.

For air, F-4S when played as missile bus is chill experience. My only wish is that it would get 7Ps.

Personally, my favorite would be the brenus. Somehow I got +3.0 k/d in that while I struggle to keep above 1.5 k/d in any other vehicle.

Brenus is literally one of the best 8.7 vehicles. It has an aps and ERA that can eat khrizantema’s missiles for breakfast (at least 1 before the ERA will disappear), decent fcs compared to other tank like T-55/62 and M60 series. Dart is decent, mobility is excellent. Thermals and laser rangefinder is what makes this thing a strong sniper at 8.7.

Only downsides are the fixed 10x zoom and the lack of stabilizer (which why I think I was able to perform well in it).

No boats or ships :(

All that aside my fave plane to play is the B7A2 Homare 23. The B7A2 is extremely versatile imo and that’s why it’s so fun. Need to hit ground and naval units up close? B7A2. Need to base bomb? B7A2. See a high up bomber? Use the B7A2’s 20mm cannons and bomber spawn to shred them. It’s even agile enough to deal with single engine fighters, allowing it to become a heavy fighter. The reason the Homare 23 variant is my favourite is that it’s a straight upgrade to a already great plane.

As for ground it’s a toss up between the Tiger 2H and
Chi Ri as they both have good fire power. The Tiger 2H has some nice survivability while the Chi Ri has good speed and is able to deal with most tanks at the front

For coastal, it’s the Sf40 heavy. It’s a glass cannon that doesn’t really require much thought.

The best of Bluewater imo is HMS Jervis. It’s just all around good with great speed.

As for helis uh… ig the Scout AH MK1. It was pretty fun in customs and looks cool

M.D.450 Ouragan, this thing has no thrust but it’s very agile when it has sufficient speed and the armament is not as bad as people say (or maybe I’m not so bad at aiming idk). Also its top speed allows you to outdive many planes you’ll face, which is useful when running away.
It’s legit one of the best turnfighters at its br, though you do suffer in full uptiers due to compression.

For tanks it’s be either the Type 10s, Merkava Mk4s or Strv 103c

For planes, probably the later Mirage 2000s, J-10 or Gripens, as single engined light fighters are supremely fun

Tanks: definitively Chieftains, nothing great on paper (just slow everywhere), but I just have a great feeling and fun with them. Could also be followed by Challenger 1 just for the L26 and the engine sound, I had the opportunity to hear the Perkins engine revving up 20m away from me at Tankfest on June, this was insane <3

Planes: I am by no means an air player, but I kinda liked the experience of Meteor and MiG-21 (especially the MiG-21S with the Fox 1)
