Best Heavy tank

[coorpz]

King Tiger. Slow, devastating!

Just for the record, the Panther is not a heavy tank. It is a medium tank, you can't dispute that. The Germans did not classify it as a Heavy Tank, they classified it as a Medium. Now purely in Men of War the KT is best. Best gun and IIRC best armor. Obviously the IS-2 and IS-3 have the best HE capabilities out of all the tanks, but I think the KT is the best Heavy tank in MoW. IRL though, the IS-2 was probably the best Heavy tank of WW2. As the KT had mechanical problems.

My vote goes to the KT, especially during defense. Just face the enemy, your front is virtually impenetrable.

Better yet, I park 2 other tanks, one on the right and one left of the KT, so its impossible to flank the KT. Its a monster.

Id vote also for the IS2 or 3 if it wasnt for its amazingly small ammo cap of like 27 rounds or something and its rate of fire in game of 3 rounds an hour. No lie though that the IS3 is invincible.....

Well IS-3s are overall a very solid tank. Great armor and the best side armor in the game.
However i would still go for the King tiger instead. IS-3s can't even penetrate KTs frontaly, however KTs can kill IS-3s at a relativly close range.


Personaly though...I would say the Pershing is the best tank for its price.
Good gun, good armor, 50 cal and normaly wins vs Panthers,tigers, Centurions, IS-1s and sometimes IS-2s.

Centurions are pitiful........Ive seen people call the T29 crap for armor...its the Cent. It has like 160 on the turret and 67 on the hull....67? srsly, on a 1945 tank....67...geez, even the Chi Ri has better armor then that

They include the crappy Centurion in MoW. Not the good one, and the Cent isn't even a Heavy Tank. Its the world's 1st Modern MBT. And it kicked ass.

Yup the Centurion is shit. Only time its good is when its in a hull down position. However it has more then 67 in armor. It has 80mm sloped armor.
But thats still not much for a unit that cost 76 points.

From what iv heard the Centurions armors will have 120mm in the expansion. However thats only a rumor.

The Centurion is only shit in the game. The Centurion Mk 5/2 had the famous 105 mm L7 rifled gun, and a max armor thickness of 150mm, 6 inches. That was on the turret, the hull had 76.2mm, 3 inches, well sloped armor.
