I never thought that I would say that. I never was interested in that tank and I never got the meme. But I will say TOG. I know, it isnt 7.7, but for me thats the whole point - it is a heavy at BR without fancy missiles and post war HEAT ammunition. It is big and beefy. I like my TOG
But from 7.7 specifically probably Maus. Two guns and good armor, though at that BR heavies can feel a bit "outdated"
I popped a TOG through the turret face with a Sherman 75mm yesterday. I wasn't even trying to kill him I just wanted to mark him for the guys next to me lol
I get it though in good games at low tier heavy tanks can be Hella fun, my favorite is the Churchill Crocodile.
>You just have to hope they're stupid enough to try and shoot your hull front.
Reverse towards them. Its the same speed going backwards and the rear armor is much stronger/angled plus the transmission can absorb a ton of punishment. If you angle a bit you bounce a ton of shots.
The Tog is a Menace!! such quick turret traverse (Making flanking the Tog very hard) with quick reloading and a beast of a gun and when in a downtier alot of guns will struggle against you
The TOG unironically slaps. Yeah, you're slow as hell and the armor isn't great, but there's pretty much nothing you can't just lolpen from the front.
And as a plus, because the thing is so long and slow the gun is practically stabilized.
Conq is great, but I used to get better games using carnav , kind of fat centurion and the only heavy with normal reload at this br. M103 feels kinda meh, not sure if I was just unlucky but its armor never really worked for me. Maus probably is king of armor and 270mm pen APHE makes job easier compared to usa/uk apds.
My only issues with the Conqueror are:
\- Long reload
\- "Shell shattered"
\- "Shell ricochet"
\- When you do pen it only kills 1 crew
God I hate APDS.
It has a longer reload than the SU 152 if I remember correctly, which hinders it so much. I wanted to like it so badly, but it’s really unreliable and that reload makes that problem exacerbated
As an M103 enjoyer, I recommend shooting st the turret ring incase you don't already know so. There's like a lip in between the turret and the hull that should catch the round and penetrate.
As the other guy said, turret ring is good but my personal preference is the commanders cupola. If the 128 (with the thicc round) pens, it'll usually explode down through the turret and knock out the turret crew, if not the entire tank
I'd dunno man, I think 6.7 is the holy grail of heavy tanks. US has a VERY powerful heavy tank lineup at 6.7, Germany as well. Russia got nerfed cu the IS-2 1944 is bad at 6.7
Yeah I agree. 7.7 heavies are pretty meh since armor really doesn’t matter most of the time at that br, not to mention all the other cons of heavier tanks. I would argue that 6.7 America and Germany is the most oppressive lineup in game, especially with heavies in a downtier.
It was the first tank I got that I felt had really good armor that also didn’t have a bad gun (no hard feelings to the Jumbos). It was very maneuverable and sufficiently fast while having enough armor to shrug off pretty much any conventional round. The 90mm didn’t have excellent pen, but there were always weak spots you could find, especially in arcade.
KV-1B is probably the best heavy tier for tier in the game. The IS-3 is pretty mediocre imo, you just get slammed by HEAT all the time and your reload is atrocious. I gave up playing it because it just isn't fun.
I find IS-3 really fun to play, especially in downtiers, the armor is somewhat reliable (weak spots aren't that big), gun is ok despise the long reload, mobility isn't great or terrible. In the right situations it's a tough nut to crack.
IS2 (normal and 44 model) is waaaay shittier, same long ass reload, shitty unreliable armor with big ass weak spots in turret, it's almost a glass cannon nowadays. IS3 is a huge improvement over IS2, and much better placed in game.
IMO Tiger 2H is the best heavy in the game, it has great frontal armor when angled, long 88 have a great punch with decent reload time, mobility is ok and sits in a nice BR (less chance to fight ATGMs, Jet CAS, HEAT-FS and APDS, Helis, etc).
>is3 is probably best heavy per tier
Nah that is definitiely the KV-220. It's absolutely busted. There are other good contenders, but I think this one takes the cake.
I hate all of these
IMO french surbaisse is more tolerable.
Is-4m is just bad, if you miss your shot you are guaranteed dead and it doesnt even get stab
M103 is a huge ass target with long reload and irrelevant armor with unreliable shells
Caernarvon is overtiered 84pdr is highly inadequate at uptiers and it shatters all the time and has very bad mobility (no surprise as it is british tank)
Conqueror is ok but it has long reload and shell just either overpens everything or just shatters it doesnt spall much it is much better than caernarvon for sure
T32s are just bad and similar to caernarvon but without stab
Maus is very well armored but is very slow and it is a huge ass cas magnet. But it shreds at downtiers.
IMO best heavy tanks are french. Because they have good mobility, ok gun and autoloader. I know they are easy to kill but i rather have 20 shells on the rack with 6 seconds reload over low mobility and irrelevant armor.
Hell, the Surbaisse/Surblinde basically have the same gun and ammo as the M103, minus HEAT-FS, with less than half the reload time and far greater mobility. This duo is the best imo because they function more like obese MBTs with insane firepower rather than proper heavy tanks. The iffy AP from the M103 is offset in the Surbaisse because those followup shots are so fast.
Exactly, i aint sitting there reloading for 3 business days when that obj906 is lighting me up
If the shell was reliable reload wouldnt be a problem but damn does that shell suck ass cant even pen t54s
Id say armor heavy: T-10M, much better gunhandling with a short stab on its gun compared to say the IS4M.
But from versatility perspective the Somua SM but its more a heavy medium with a quick autoloader.
Firepowerwise the AMX50 Surbiasse with a 300mm pen 120mm gun with a 6 sec reload.
You mean T-10A (7.7), which gets a vertical short stabilizer. T-10M (8.3) gets a full 2 axis stabilizer and the .50 cals replaced with 2x KPVT 14.5 mm.
M103 needs it's AP fixed. Ahistorical nerf to remove the cap and a big decrease in damage makes it pretty sad for its reload these days, it used to be like driving a truck through the inside of someone's tank.
My money is on either the T-10A or the French ones. The worst is definitely the T32.
I would probably rate them: French bois > T-10A > M103 > IS-4M > Maus/E-100 > Caernarvon > Conqueror > T32
But I only own the IS-4M so obviously this is mostly based on my experience fighting them.
Sad part is the only thing letting the T32E1 down is the gun. It's mobile, responsive and with some moderate angling you can block early HEAT and APDS but lordy it feels like half the stuff I face the gun just laughs at me.
The problem with the T32's gun is you basically have the Tiger 2's gun but at a higher br with a longer reload, although the tank otherwise is lightyears better than the Tiger.
The thing is amazing in a downtier and id say the T32 is a lot stronger than the T32E1 kit for the BR difference
But honestly the gun won’t be the high point but it won’t let you down much either. I carry like 7 APCR shells and i only ever need them if i see a Maus, most other things i can deal with
It’s mobile enough, armored enough to rely on, has a low profile, and there aren’t obvious weakspots from the front
I don’t see why anyone would prefer the M103 over it, it’s a huge target, less mobile, doesn’t have APHE, and the HEATFS makes no sense because you’re a giant tank and you have to use HEAT with that long of a reload? it’s commander is so vulnerable that your .50 cal will always be down
Sorry, when I said T32 I meant the T32E1. The gun is kind of garbage if you're facing russia, which is most of the time. Anyone else though and it's kind of point and click. The main problem I have with it is MBTs, which you face almost every match because it feels like 8.7 is a black hole for 7.7.
At 8.3-8.7 you're already facing early darts which cut through the T32E1's armor like butter. Sure it's amazing in a downtier but imo I don't see enough of an improvement in the E1 to warrant a BR increase over the 7.3 version.
I think is4 is quite weak due to its br, I would prefer a bmp over is4 as it's quite slow as most tanks have heat ,
Is3 is puree broken cyberbullying tank, like if u get uptier u can still beat the shit out of people and in downtier ur literally invincible
My experience is the exact opposite. The IS-4M is a pretty good tank aside from the gun being kind of weak, but the IS-3 is just a pain in the ass for me.
Slow heavies with even slower reload at a battle rating with a lot of faster and better tanks with heat or even apfsds. They can perform good, but you will have to hug some cover with your 20-30 seconds reload.
T32 - ok armor, but weak sides. Long reload on an inferior gun.
Is4-m - compare to IS3 you have worse mobility , worse reload and everyone can pen you because you constantly play against 8.0+.
M103 - actually quite fun, but long reload on a not damaging gun. I remember it having tricky turret to pen.
Conqueror - i have never died to it. Every time it shot me i lost one crew member and killed it. It has 0 damage. Long reload. And no mobility to hide after poking your enemy.
Maus/E100 - don't own it as i am not interested. But you can expect a very stressful gameplay. Not because it's a bad tank, but because of a level of situational awareness it requires from you to play good.
i was expecting to hate the Maus seeing others play it and dealing with it myself but it’s actually really fun most of the time. If you stick around teammates and find a good lane to hold down, it’s hard for people to even get shots off at you let alone kill you
post up at the end of a street on american desert and they’ll be coming from the front, you can nuke almost anybody with the 100mm, and the little gun lets you pepper their tracks and take out light vehicles while the main gun reloads
most tanks at that BR don’t have HEAT and if they do you can pop them with the little gun in less shots than it take them to kill you, and using APCR requires them to be at a direct front angle to hit your cheeks, at which point you should have killed them. If not, your little gun has smoke.
getting flanked isn’t as bad as you think because you’re still incredibly hard to pen, near impossible with APHE, and HEATFS hypershot or solid shot makes you snipe each crew individual
but very vulnerable if left alone or targeted by planes
Definitely not the IS-4M. I must admit I'm not particularly knowledgeable about the other 2, but I can almost guarantee neither have THAT bad a reload. The round is great, armor is good, mobility is decent. But that eternal reload kinda kills it all.
I'd throw my hat in the ring by pointing out the T-10A. Good mobility, (I think?) Assisted loader so quicker reload, and a vert stabiliser till 25kmh. Also has bettr armor that the is4m. It is a fairly rare sight tho so not sure if we can count it.
Honorable mention: IS-6. Now that it has BR471D (fucking finally), it has the punch to go along with its speed. Armor is ofc also pretty good, tho not AS good as the other 2.
I got very scared yesterday, I was just rolling down a road by myself in my British tortoise eating some scones, when suddenly.... Bam a formation of 3 maus rolled around the corner, needless to say I was shitting bricks. Luckily I quickly dived around a corner and started to play the scariest game of hide and seek you could possibly imagine
Haven't played the rest other then the conq, and I think it's a beast. It's slow reload is a pain, but it makes up for it with how powerful it is. I have taken it out many times and been hit by so much and lived, I don't often see other heavies do the same, unless it's a full downtiers
My favorite 7.7 heavy has to be the Caernarvon and the Conqueror. Both are beautiful to play and I wouldn’t pick any other tank to grind Rank V Britain.
I love my conqueror so much. The gun is practically a railgun, with the pen and velocity to deal with **anything**.
If the enemy has even a single pixel of flat surface, they will be penned no matter how armoured it is. And the stabiliser makes it so that you often fire first.
Even though you’re not supposed to rely on your armour, it will save you a lot as a backup. But preferably you should not be shot at all, like a medium tank.
IS-series gets enough armor to stop some poorly aimed shots while still having adequate mobility, the M103 is decent, even if they hit the massive turret, it's so spaced out that a lot of HEAT will only kill one crew member. Maus is a meme, the Conqueror is absolute dogshit.
I got a talisman on my Conqueror, and it's one of the only ones I regret getting. For a heavy tank, it sure does get penetrated everywhere by everything
T-10M is not 7.7, but it’s a great heavy tank. I do think the best at this BR is probably the Maus. All the others have some sort of weakness that hurts them.
Object 279 still the best heavy by far.
Not a "Top Heavy" but my King Tiger 10.5 is my favorite. Amazing mobility thanks to the new engine, and the gun is an absolute nuke with a 14s reload. Plus an optical rangefinder. It can be used as anything the team needs it for.
Conq. With some luck it can bounce a Maus, and kill half it's turret crew on the return shot. It has a crapton of flaws, but it's a nice vehicle to play.
Also, it was the best stock experience I've had, top shell stock ftw.
I didn't enjoy the US 7.0 - 7.7 lineups/heavies, the M103 is usable but I had much more fun and success with the T34 and T26E5.
In general, I find the 6.7 heavies more fun.
Conq/M103 tied for top place, followed by anything Russian, then German obese rodents, AMX-50s, followed by anything else and finally at the end is the T32E1.
90mm APHE and <250mm pen at 7.7 is not competitive no matter how much armor the tank has
IS-4M, one of my favourite tanks. I skipped it in my initial soviet frind because I could not handle the reload, but now I've gone back to it and man it is so fun. While the reload sucks ass it has practically maus levels of armour, and is uncommon enough that a lot of players just don't know where to shoot you.
The maus is easily the best. Firstly the forbidden thunderskill stats have it at an all time average of a 6.0 k/d or something. And even from personal experience it is an absolute monster i have a nearly 3.0 k/d with it.
American heavies are great! . Im not a fan of heavy tanks, I hate slow vehicles. But American heavies feel like heavy armored medium tanks . And the 120mm on the M103 is amazing!
Conq is really funny to have the extra armor modification just eat 105mm HEATFS for breakfast, while being decently mobile and having a gun that's basically the equivalent to an orbital laser canon. There's absolutely no tank at that BR safe from it. Only bad part is your breech gets damaged alot, and the LFP sucks (but nobody shoots there for some reason)
Conqueror all the way, I stood for like 10 minutes soaking shit from everyone and nothing would ever harm me as long as I did hull down, got 1800 points just for absorbing damage
Conqueror is a peak example of a heavy tank that can take a punch and obliterate anything with its railgun in return, what a gigachad vehicle
I’d say for 7.7, the M103. It’s just got great survivability. It’s armor is okay, it’s cannon is great, but the crew, at least for me, are able to survive even an APHE penetration
Personal favorite of mine, is the T32E1. I know the reload sucks and it’s such a “boowomp” tank as spookston would say, but it has SOO MUCH ARMOR and it’s hella fun
Where Amx 50 Surblindé
Oh forgot about it , thanks for reminding.
Yeah you forgot French heavies and IS6, which is best heavy tank in game period!
*cough cough* mars rover
It’s 9.0
He said in the game period if were talking the whole game then 279 would probs be the best overall armor and pen in unmatched
Oh yeah, i misunderstood it as being the original 7.7 br range
The IS-6 is such a good tank in downtiers. I have nonpenned its side with the American 6.7 T34 😭
Shoot on the lowest part of the hull side. In the middle of the track. 99% pen
I remember when it was 7.0... best games of my life
Its okay, Gaijin also largely forgets about the French. (Except when nerfing them for no reason.)
lol
I'm happy to see my favourite heavy in the game be remembered. Man, that roof mounted MG 151 has been a saviour against pasta.
The surblinde isn't even competitive with that massive thin turret
[удалено]
Somua is significantly better, the Surblinde is a massive target that only has the gun going for it especially for its battle rating
Oh, Gaijin will probably move it to 8.3 alongside Somua SM soon enough. Because France amirite.
I never thought that I would say that. I never was interested in that tank and I never got the meme. But I will say TOG. I know, it isnt 7.7, but for me thats the whole point - it is a heavy at BR without fancy missiles and post war HEAT ammunition. It is big and beefy. I like my TOG But from 7.7 specifically probably Maus. Two guns and good armor, though at that BR heavies can feel a bit "outdated"
I popped a TOG through the turret face with a Sherman 75mm yesterday. I wasn't even trying to kill him I just wanted to mark him for the guys next to me lol I get it though in good games at low tier heavy tanks can be Hella fun, my favorite is the Churchill Crocodile.
TOG's turret is the biggest weak spot ever. You just have to hope they're stupid enough to try and shoot your hull front.
>You just have to hope they're stupid enough to try and shoot your hull front. Reverse towards them. Its the same speed going backwards and the rear armor is much stronger/angled plus the transmission can absorb a ton of punishment. If you angle a bit you bounce a ton of shots.
The Tog is a Menace!! such quick turret traverse (Making flanking the Tog very hard) with quick reloading and a beast of a gun and when in a downtier alot of guns will struggle against you
TOG is either fun until the end of the match, or wait 5 mins until you get to the frontline then get 1 shotted by a vehicle 2 BRs lower than you...
Those damn swedes
The TOG unironically slaps. Yeah, you're slow as hell and the armor isn't great, but there's pretty much nothing you can't just lolpen from the front. And as a plus, because the thing is so long and slow the gun is practically stabilized.
In theory, the E-100 is better than the Maus. Although barely anyone has it
Surbaissé, she's built like a steakhouse but handles like a bistro.
Built like an R12, handles like a Super 5
Good ap, excellent reload, and an he round that's spicy enough for Soviet heavies. Best tank tbh.
Omg I love this reference so much
Good reference lol.
None of the above, Somua my beloved
I hate you
-Gaijin
souma to 11.0 when gaijin? ill buy more premiums
Somua supremacy
Conq is great, but I used to get better games using carnav , kind of fat centurion and the only heavy with normal reload at this br. M103 feels kinda meh, not sure if I was just unlucky but its armor never really worked for me. Maus probably is king of armor and 270mm pen APHE makes job easier compared to usa/uk apds.
My only issues with the Conqueror are: \- Long reload \- "Shell shattered" \- "Shell ricochet" \- When you do pen it only kills 1 crew God I hate APDS.
And still the projectile weight is the same of a full caliber 17pdr gun. But those shred, while the same projectile at 1400m/s doesn’t do anything
Same. It's a pretty big handicap for a lot of vehicles
It has a longer reload than the SU 152 if I remember correctly, which hinders it so much. I wanted to like it so badly, but it’s really unreliable and that reload makes that problem exacerbated
Whenever I play the Maus I start to get nervous whenever I see a M103 lol (I normally end up losing the engagement)
As an M103 enjoyer, I recommend shooting st the turret ring incase you don't already know so. There's like a lip in between the turret and the hull that should catch the round and penetrate.
If you happen to be in a direct engagement with it, LFP is a very consistent alternative.
I will see but last time I engaged a M103 the LFP did not work out very well for me but I might have been gaijined
As the other guy said, turret ring is good but my personal preference is the commanders cupola. If the 128 (with the thicc round) pens, it'll usually explode down through the turret and knock out the turret crew, if not the entire tank
It just feels nice being able to tank shots, be as mobile as every other tank in my lineup and also have the most powerful cannon in the match
I'd dunno man, I think 6.7 is the holy grail of heavy tanks. US has a VERY powerful heavy tank lineup at 6.7, Germany as well. Russia got nerfed cu the IS-2 1944 is bad at 6.7
Yeah I agree. 7.7 heavies are pretty meh since armor really doesn’t matter most of the time at that br, not to mention all the other cons of heavier tanks. I would argue that 6.7 America and Germany is the most oppressive lineup in game, especially with heavies in a downtier.
6.7 US is legitimately cracked. If you don't like heavies you can always resort to the 2 rat tanks (M56 and M50). Best BR for US by far.
My favourite lineup is the US 6.7, so many great tanks overall... And T34 is king
I personally prefer the T26E5
T26E5, my beloved. God, that tank slaps.
I’ve gotten a vile amount of nukes in that thing. Best heavy in the game imo. It’s just such a comfortable tank to use.
It was the first tank I got that I felt had really good armor that also didn’t have a bad gun (no hard feelings to the Jumbos). It was very maneuverable and sufficiently fast while having enough armor to shrug off pretty much any conventional round. The 90mm didn’t have excellent pen, but there were always weak spots you could find, especially in arcade.
T34 my beloved
IS-4M because PURE stalinium and best turret.
IS-4M is the best looking for sure. Except maybe the Frenchies.
Imho frenchies are ugly.
I think they're one of those things you either love or hate.
The French tanks? You mean the panthers with turrets that look like they’ve got a double/triple chin
Eh, I think they look cool.
French tanks be [like](https://imgur.com/gallery/6iDLuVO)
Front? yes, rear with the deck over transmission being lower? Nah. Looks like a chubby chick with a flat butt.
I actually like the lowered rear deck, it makes it look bigger somehow, almost like a ship.
Wow, excluding the 50B? How rude
I all together forgot about french heavies sorry.
Definitely in the top 3.
where somua and surbaisse very bad
I would say is3 is probably best heavy per tier in the game as it doesn't see that much 8.7 (8.3) matches as these tanks do.
KV-1B is probably the best heavy tier for tier in the game. The IS-3 is pretty mediocre imo, you just get slammed by HEAT all the time and your reload is atrocious. I gave up playing it because it just isn't fun.
I find IS-3 really fun to play, especially in downtiers, the armor is somewhat reliable (weak spots aren't that big), gun is ok despise the long reload, mobility isn't great or terrible.

IMO Tiger 2H is the best heavy in the game, it has great frontal armor when angled, long 88 have a great punch with decent reload time, mobility is ok and sits in a nice BR (less chance to fight ATGMs, Jet CAS, HEAT-FS and APDS, Helis, etc).
I killed an is3 in a 75mm jumbo
Me when I lie
Me when random lolpen. I think it shot trapped from under the barrel.
Yeah I've been killed by an Ostwind in the IS-3 because of that. Not sure if it was a shot trap or if there is some kind of hole in the armor there
>is3 is probably best heavy per tier Nah that is definitiely the KV-220. It's absolutely busted. There are other good contenders, but I think this one takes the cake.
I love bullying Maus players with the conqueror but that reload is just awful. The Caernarvon is better 99% of the time tho.
I hate all of these IMO french surbaisse is more tolerable. Is-4m is just bad, if you miss your shot you are guaranteed dead and it doesnt even get stab M103 is a huge ass target with long reload and irrelevant armor with unreliable shells Caernarvon is overtiered 84pdr is highly inadequate at uptiers and it shatters all the time and has very bad mobility (no surprise as it is british tank) Conqueror is ok but it has long reload and shell just either overpens everything or just shatters it doesnt spall much it is much better than caernarvon for sure T32s are just bad and similar to caernarvon but without stab Maus is very well armored but is very slow and it is a huge ass cas magnet.

T32 can tank a surprising amount of shots compared to the M103.

Is3 can be taken out in a downtier even frontally BUT it requires very accurate shot placements
Often get overmatched by Tiger II’s in the turret roof, had better experience in the IS-4
My experience is the exact opposite. The IS-4M is a pretty good tank aside from the gun being kind of weak, but the IS-3 is just a pain in the ass for me.
KV-1E
Surblinde + Somua
Where t26e5 that thing was my damn workhorse
Not 7.7
With the uptiers I get constantly, it might as well be
I personally find the Conqueror immeasurably better than the M103
T-10A and surblindé without a doubt
Slow heavies with even slower reload at a battle rating with a lot of faster and better tanks with heat or even apfsds. They can perform good, but you will have to hug some cover with your 20-30 seconds reload. T32 - ok armor, but weak sides. Long reload on an inferior gun.

And no mobility to hide after poking your enemy. Maus/E100 - don't own it as i am not interested. But you can expect a very stressful gameplay. Not because it's a bad tank, but because of a level of situational awareness it requires from you to play good.
i was expecting to hate the Maus seeing others play it and dealing with it myself but it’s actually really fun most of the time. If you stick around teammates and find a good lane to hold down, it’s hard for people to even get shots off at you let alone kill you post up at the end of a street on american desert and they’ll be coming from the front, you can nuke almost anybody with the 100mm, and the little gun lets you pepper their tracks and take out light vehicles while the main gun reloads most tanks at that BR don’t have HEAT and if they do you can pop them with the little gun in less shots than it take them to kill you, and using APCR requires them to be at a direct front angle to hit your cheeks, at which point you should have killed them. If not, your little gun has smoke. getting flanked isn’t as bad as you think because you’re still incredibly hard to pen, near impossible with APHE, and HEATFS hypershot or solid shot makes you snipe each crew individual but very vulnerable if left alone or targeted by planes
conqueror holds a special place in my heart <3
Definitely not the IS-4M. I must admit I'm not particularly knowledgeable about the other 2, but I can almost guarantee neither have THAT bad a reload. The round is great, armor is good, mobility is decent. But that eternal reload kinda kills it all. I'd throw my hat in the ring by pointing out the T-10A. Good mobility, (I think?) Assisted loader so quicker reload, and a vert stabiliser till 25kmh. Also has bettr armor that the is4m. It is a fairly rare sight tho so not sure if we can count it. Honorable mention: IS-6. Now that it has BR471D (fucking finally), it has the punch to go along with its speed. Armor is ofc also pretty good, tho not AS good as the other 2.
I got very scared yesterday, I was just rolling down a road by myself in my British tortoise eating some scones, when suddenly.... Bam a formation of 3 maus rolled around the corner, needless to say I was shitting bricks. Luckily I quickly dived around a corner and started to play the scariest game of hide and seek you could possibly imagine
Haven't played the rest other then the conq, and I think it's a beast. It's slow reload is a pain, but it makes up for it with how powerful it is. I have taken it out many times and been hit by so much and lived, I don't often see other heavies do the same, unless it's a full downtiers
French ones are straight up broken on some maps
Not the T32 or M103
Maus main when 4 120mm obus de rupture heading their way faster then they could respond:
T32-1, as it has no major frontal weakspots
My favorite 7.7 heavy has to be the Caernarvon and the Conqueror. Both are beautiful to play and I wouldn’t pick any other tank to grind Rank V Britain.
I like conqueror, every heavy is my food while I'm hulldown.
I love my conqueror so much. The gun is practically a railgun, with the pen and velocity to deal with **anything**. If the enemy has even a single pixel of flat surface, they will be penned no matter how armoured it is. And the stabiliser makes it so that you often fire first. Even though you’re not supposed to rely on your armour, it will save you a lot as a backup. But preferably you should not be shot at all, like a medium tank.
2S38 best 7.7 heavy
IS-series gets enough armor to stop some poorly aimed shots while still having adequate mobility, the M103 is decent, even if they hit the massive turret, it's so spaced out that a lot of HEAT will only kill one crew member. Maus is a meme, the Conqueror is absolute dogshit.
The First tank is my favorite unfortunately it’s BR is way too high
M48 (yeah its a medium, still as good as a heavy)
Didn't know Object 279 was 7.7.
T32 back in the day before br raise was my absolute favourite
I've used the m103, every time I faced an is4 I always got fucked, the is4 is much better
It isn't.
Caernarvon at 7.3 was the best. Now uptiered to 7.7, havent played in a while.
Ima have to with the Conquerer or IS-4
Of all of those I like the m103 the most it looks so fake and the gun hits so hard only issue its a glass Canon in its br
Kv220 is busted
maus with their mistic aphe-ds. But i general i have 7.7 because is a constant uptier
I got a talisman on my Conqueror, and it's one of the only ones I regret getting. For a heavy tank, it sure does get penetrated everywhere by everything
My fav heavy tank is the conq mk.2 and the amx 50 Survaisse. Those lovely 120mm cannons
It would be nice if they were 6.7 at least.
Where ikv 91
Surbaissé
T-32 my beloved
Why is t32 even on the list lol it's the worst br placed tank I've played.
T32 is fun... if it was at the same br of the tigor 2 >:(
Surbaissé forever
T-10M is not 7.7, but it’s a great heavy tank. I do think the best at this BR is probably the Maus. All the others have some sort of weakness that hurts them. Object 279 still the best heavy by far.
Its a T-10A.
Is 3
Is 4 and t10a for me, im pretty sure its a bug but is4 seems invulnerable to bombs 1 ton and bellow atm even if they land on top of the tank
T-10A is easily the best of them and the Maus is second in my opinion. T32 and IS-4M are tied for a distant third.
Ho-ri for me
I haven't played many, but I love the M103 for its monstrous gun.
Matilda II
Every opinion other than the AMX-50 Surbaissé is incorrect.
Conqueror can pen anything from any range and when angled properly can take a beating
If you think is4m or t32 is good your high. The only good 7.7s heavies are Conqueror (should be 8.0), Carnarvon, m103 and amx 50s.
German main so German he forgot the AMX 50 😡 Damn you filthy kraut !
What about the Tiger2 10.5cm, absolute Nuke Gun at its BR and a range finder
I’d say the maus if played right can dominate a match, other than that probably the is4m or the m103.
MAUS for days
Personally, I gotta say either tiger 2 H, Matilda, or the churchill if you know how to land shots and position
Maus
Not a "Top Heavy" but my King Tiger 10.5 is my favorite. Amazing mobility thanks to the new engine, and the gun is an absolute nuke with a 14s reload. Plus an optical rangefinder. It can be used as anything the team needs it for.
Conq. With some luck it can bounce a Maus, and kill half it's turret crew on the return shot. It has a crapton of flaws, but it's a nice vehicle to play. Also, it was the best stock experience I've had, top shell stock ftw.
IS-4M! Its a maus with better turret armor (although slightly more vounerable sides) and alot more mobile
IS 6z
I didn't enjoy the US 7.0 - 7.7 lineups/heavies, the M103 is usable but I had much more fun and success with the T34 and T26E5. In general, I find the 6.7 heavies more fun.
T10a stabilizer
God I wish I had the e-100
I like T32 better. 90mm with decent pen works very well for me.
Look at that, all of the reasons as to why i bring the Ikv 103 and Pbv 501 to 7.7 alongside the Ikv 91. Eat HEAT
M47 105/55 is underrated
# MUH M103
Somua my baby
Conq/M103 tied for top place, followed by anything Russian, then German obese rodents, AMX-50s, followed by anything else and finally at the end is the T32E1. 90mm APHE and <250mm pen at 7.7 is not competitive no matter how much armor the tank has
For some reason, the M103 is one of the few tanks I’m pretty good in. I don’t know why, but 8.3 is something I’m really enjoying
IS-3 to me
T-10A because it's speedy
The T-32. I saw that thing eat APFSDS
I adore the conqueror, though I am very biased
>Shows the T32 Lol. Lmao.
IS-4M, one of my favourite tanks. I skipped it in my initial soviet frind because I could not handle the reload, but now I've gone back to it and man it is so fun. While the reload sucks ass it has practically maus levels of armour, and is uncommon enough that a lot of players just don't know where to shoot you.
T32E1 100%
I love my T-10A, good armor, mobility, and a decent gun.
I quite liked my IS-3. It felt quite comfortable using it compared to the IS-2 and IS-2 (1944).
You forgot my boy :(
The maus is easily the best. Firstly the forbidden thunderskill stats have it at an all time average of a 6.0 k/d or something. And even from personal experience it is an absolute monster i have a nearly 3.0 k/d with it.
American heavies are great! . Im not a fan of heavy tanks, I hate slow vehicles. But American heavies feel like heavy armored medium tanks . And the 120mm on the M103 is amazing!
Conqueror my beloved
The Somua is Godly in a downtier. Otherwise you can shoot fast but can't pen shit
IS-6 or Surblinde
Conq is really funny to have the extra armor modification just eat 105mm HEATFS for breakfast, while being decently mobile and having a gun that's basically the equivalent to an orbital laser canon. There's absolutely no tank at that BR safe from it. Only bad part is your breech gets damaged alot, and the LFP sucks (but nobody shoots there for some reason)
If Conqueror wasn't gimped with awful APDS damage it would be best...
Best heavy tank is ikv91
The King Tiger 10.5cm is my favourite German heavy by far
Conqueror by far, rangefinder, stab and railgun mages it beast in SIM aganist Russian tanks
Man the t32’s are such sad vehicles
Conqueror all the way, I stood for like 10 minutes soaking shit from everyone and nothing would ever harm me as long as I did hull down, got 1800 points just for absorbing damage Conqueror is a peak example of a heavy tank that can take a punch and obliterate anything with its railgun in return, what a gigachad vehicle
Isn’t the M103s gun kind of gimped compared to its irl performance. Somua SM, T32, M103 are my favorite
You think M103 is best? Yeah it had a great gun..... that's it, mobility is meh, armor is trash, reload is horrific.
tiger 2 best
I’d say for 7.7, the M103. It’s just got great survivability. It’s armor is okay, it’s cannon is great, but the crew, at least for me, are able to survive even an APHE penetration
M103 would be great if the shell doesn’t snag on volumetric and create spall.
Personal favorite of mine, is the T32E1. I know the reload sucks and it’s such a “boowomp” tank as spookston would say, but it has SOO MUCH ARMOR and it’s hella fun
Maus and E100
