There are hundreds of different tanks to choose from, each handles differently from the others.Īlthough it might not technically be as realistic as War Thunder, the diversity of tanks and playstyles allow for a battle to play out in a hundred thousand different ways. World of Tanks may only do tanks, but it does them very, very well. If you want planes in World of Tanks, you’ll have to play the aptly named World of Warplanes. World of Tanks has always been about just tanks from release. War Thunder also has combined arms - tanks and planes fight on the same battlefield!
War Thunder began as a flight combat simulator and tanks were added in a later patch. The biggest and most obvious distinction between the two games has to do with the types of vehicles available to the player. If you’re on the fence about which of the two multiplayer vehicle combat games to sink your teeth into, hopefully, you’ll be able to decide by the end of this article. Read on for a detailed explanation of both games, what they each do well, and what they need to work on. The most effective premium tank appears to be the Russian T-44-122 with a kill to loss ratio of as much as 1.War Thunder and World of Tanks have been out for 8 and 10 years respectively but the debate over which is the superior game is still going strong. In the US none optimal, above average BR can be found (if any, than most likely around the BR 6.7, including the use of premium vehicles). Germany at BR 4.3 (Dicker Max) and 7.0 (Jagdtiger, 10.5-cm-Tiger II, Panther II, Arado bomber) and the Maus at 7.7. Overall arise spots in effectiveness among the nations around the following Battle Ratings: Therefore, the high win rates at most Battle Ratings, especially for the Russian team – and in the high Battle Ratings for the British – are not surprising. Only with the relatively high Battle Rating 6.7 the Germans received with the Panther II an superb medium battle tank. You can see that mainly the Russian and at higher Battle Ratings the British vehicles occupy leading positions. This is the most important category of combat vehicles, which can be used at relatively inexpensive costs and are most times armed equally, faster, and more flexible and nearly as good as the heavy tank at the same Battle Ratings in War Thunder. Therefore, one should limit the use of heavy tanks in the game as far as possible, if they do not have high kill to loss quota. Therefore, heavy tanks should be supposed to have around a 1.25-1.50 times better shooting quota as medium tanks or tank destroyers, which is unfortunately often not the case. Most effective Heavy TanksĪdditionally, it has to bring to notice, that the use of a heavy tank can cost up to 450 points, a medium tank but only a maximum of 310 points and a tank destroyer at highest 290 points.
