Best Heavy tank

[Zeke Wolff]

The Comet A34 were introduced in February 1945 and fully issued to one UK Armored Regiment before the end of the war. It´s true that it never saw much action, but it was used in combat against German tanks, even if only rarely. Unlike the Centurion and Turtoise (the latter never even ever been accepted for service by the UK), the Comet A34 was used during WW2 and that´s the difference.

I like my WW2 games to be historical correct when dealing with vehicles and such, and I do not like to see these prototypes that never saw service (T29 for example), and/or tanks that was introduced into service after the war. I really don´t care if a tank can´t go up frontally against a German 88 or not. That´s why flanking manouvers was invented...

What about the IS-3?

[Zeke Wolff]

IS3 is a footnote... in the history of WW2. It did enter service before the end of the war against the Japanese, but there is no written proof anywhere that they ever saw action against any Japanese tanks. In Europe they were only used during the Victory Parade in Berlin.

Thanks for clearing that up for me, have been confused on it for some 5 years.

There's no record of the IS-3 ever seeing any real action. All these experimental tanks were added for balancing. If they weren't then Germany would wtf pwn everyone.

And at the end of the day the only super tanks I fear are the IS 3 and the T29. The Cent has no armor and a gun that only dreams of taking out my KIng Tiger and the Chi Ri, well....Ive never played against one b/c no one plays the Japanese. The Pershing is kinda annoying b/c of that 90 but still...it can die

It seems the King Tiger wins the Best Heavy Tank poll.

Can't believe nobody but me likes the KV-1. A reliable heavy tank for sure.

[KnightFandragon]

I wouldnt vote KV-1 but the KV85. The KV1 has good armor but it's F32 or w/e is not that great of a gun......The KV85 has some D5T or w/e and that thing is defintely nice, sure the 85 has less armor but the better gun is definetly a good trade off.

Chi RI and Centurion are pretty balanced vs eachother. Which means both are crappy.
The Chi RI usualy wins if you angle its armor.

Stupidest thing I have ever heard in my life. The KV-1 was very mechanically unreliable, more than the Tiger in fact. Its only advantage was it's armor, and that became penetrable frontally in 1942. It's poor speed made it an easy target for planes and artillery fire. And it's gun was just average, obsolete by 1942.
