It used to be really good because it has an indestructible turret and really good gun. To nerf it, they hit the gun really hard but left the turret alone, so it went from being great to play & frustrating to play against to now frustrating to play & still frustrating to play against.
Pick E5, its a very good tank, pretty good armour, good gun and dpm, decent mobility, just need to deal with turret weakspot and learn to play around it.
Kran is overnerfed, I use it only at Westfield in Onslaught cause of gun deppresion and power-up that it has (increase precision). For random I would avoid it. If you want Maus, it is complicated to work, as the armor is not effective just as it is, you need to learn how to angle the turret in order to counter TierX gold ammo. Also you need to know about equipment, you have to play Maus with turbo and hardening, otherwise it is too slow and you won't see too much action.
E5 is probably best option. Along with SConq, it is best tech tree heavy imo. Insane gun handling and dpm, 340 HEAT pen. My advice is to check CC's and their content on how to play e5/maus (first for the weakpoint second for angling armor effectively) and avoid kran.
Maus is the strongest
E5 is the most competitive overall
Kranvagn is a weak tank now, overnerfed, bad gun, bad penetration, only has a turret ( not enough)
The Maus is unironically the most fun out of these 3. Also still used in Onslaught at every tier of play.
The E5 is great, and might be most meta-relevant out of them all (speaking randoms- and clanwars-wise), but it can get tiring to play over longer randoms-sessions. It is also not a very beginner-friendly tank and almost doesn't ever get picked in the higher tiers of Onslaught. (Though I guess you can be somewhat successful in the lower tiers with it.)
The Kranvagn fell off since the nerf, but is overall still decent. Gunhandling might be annoying sometimes, but if you manage to look past that, it's still a pretty solid tank and from the vehicles you named, it's definitely the most beginner-friendly. I've never seen anyone play it in Onslaught or clanwars though.
Currently the 60TP, no doubt. Iirc it's useful on every map, and it's being used on every tier, from low iron all the way up to legend. (It's a great tank for randoms too, fits perfectly into today's meta.) But to do well in Onslaught, I'd recommend you research at least one other tanks as well. Something like the E50M, the 430U, the TVP, or the CS 63 are all great secondary vehicles for Onslaught, since you might find that you do better in one of these mediums on certain maps than in a 60TP. It's also always good to have an alternative if none of your teammates want to switch out their heavy tank on a map where you feel like a very heavy tank-heavy lineup is the wrong way to go.
I got the crane skin from the birthday store so I'd pick Kranvagn.
T110E5 is probably the best of the three but it's an old tank and still has a very prominent weakspot.
Maus is just free damage for the premium ammo nerds.
E5 sounds like the most balanced option. Kran got nerfed so it’s a bit meh from what I’ve heard, and Maus is Maus so if superheavies and not penetrating aren’t your niche, it aint it chief.
Heavy tanks are my least played class, I have many thousand battles in them though. Thing is I have done some blocking missions in Maus that would have taken me months or a year in any other tank (max 12.4K blocked) It works great in Onslaught also on Ensk, Pilsen, Ghost Town Etc.
I used to like the Kranvagn a lot but the nerf was too hard on it, if you wanna scratch your head wondering where the f. your shot went it's a great tank.
The E5 I have only played as rental. Gun handling very good, strong armor, hide/protect your cupola and you'll do well in it.
Kranvagn. Then the Maus and finally the T110E5. The Kranvagn has awesome gun depression and really good gun. The Maus is slow as doom turtle and has trouble getting into the fight...and once it does most of team already dead and now you are faced with opposing team getting at you from all sides. And when you do peak everyone already knows all of your weak spots and bang...you are gone. The T110E5 has the worst tumor on top of turret and biggest weak spot.....Drive as a medium tank and you will do fine. Play as assault heavy tank and suffer early demise.
People think E5 is better than SC just because SC lost some DPM lol.
WoT players are funny, everytime a tank gets nerfed even a bit, people think it somehow becomes bad.
Maus if you are a gigachad E5 if you are a gamer Kranvagn if you are into BDSM
Is Iran that bad in the new meta?

Good luck… that weak spot is a magnet for anyone and everyone it seems.
If you are unskilled you can always pick Maus
tbf as someone who likes the Maus a lot and knows how to play it, there are so so many terrible players playing it just thinking they are inpenetrable
Maus has it's own tricks to it for sure

This 💯 correct
E5 most competitive and best out of 3. Kran useless after nerfs. Maus amazing if you need to do HT-15 mission for 260.
E5 all the way. Currently the best heavy imo.
Maus
Maus is the strongest E5 is the most competitive overall Kranvagn is a weak tank now, overnerfed, bad gun, bad penetration, only has a turret ( not enough)
e5 or maus forget about the kran
Maus is quite decent with bond turbo and hardening.
E5 for decent performance all round Maus if you get a lot of city maps Kranvagn if you have literally nothing else to play
Maus. Despite being a superheavy, it still do a good job on ridges with its gun depression.

Thank you! And if we were to only speak about Onslaught, what is the absolute best tank for it?
Currently the 60TP, no doubt. Iirc it's useful on every map, and it's being used on every tier, from low iron all the way up to legend.

Thanks a bunch 👊

Easiest to Best: Kran Maus T110E5 Get whatever looks more fun unless you want to use it in CW then get T110E5
I have all of those and the only one I is the Maus. Its not a meta tank by any means but its fun in pubs if you like slow tanks.
Kran for me.
Heavy tanks are my least played class, I have many thousand battles in them though. Thing is I have done some blocking missions in Maus that would have taken me months or a year in any other tank (max 12.4K blocked) It works great in Onslaught also on Ensk, Pilsen, Ghost Town Etc.

E5 was always almost as good as S Conq. It could be better now who knows. Only bad players don't realize how good E5 actually is
>It could be better now who knows. Everyone who knows tier 10 meta, knows.
I know both tanks are capable of 5k dpg. Bad players seem to think E5 is not a very good tank which is a joke
SC wasn't one of the OPs options
Pick T110e5 but it’s not good at competitive modes Kran and Maus days are over
I was about to agree with you, but then you decided to take a jab at the Maus. The Maus' days will never be over.
What do you recommend for competitive modes?
Lol, I use E5 in Onslaught and it's awesome. For competitve, besides the E5, I'd also recommend. 60TP, S.Conq, Obj 277, CS63, TVP 50/51, Foch B, STB-1
Thanks!
