Tactics of playing on heavy tanks. World of tanks: heavy tanks - game tactics and tips from the masters Tactics of the game on TT
Each class of technology game world of Tanks has its own specialization. Light tanks are scouts, artillery performs the function of support, tank destroyers are ideal in defense and holding direction, and medium tanks, including the A-44, are generalists. However, the main role in any battle, no doubt, is played by heavy tanks - tt in World of Tanks, or as they are also called - strands. And today we have TT guide.
The best TTs for tanking
Possessing the most powerful weapons and armor, vehicles of this class are able to push through a strategically important direction on the map and decide the outcome of the battle. However, you have to pay for this with a strong dependence on the team - without flank cover or competent artillery support, the strands will become easy prey. Plus "serbogold", which allows you to pierce most of the cars in the game. As practice shows, at present, only a few cars can play “from armor”. The legendary Soviet IS-7 and ST-1 (the latter has an indestructible turret) plus the German Slipper, which will soon be replaced by the Maus prototype. We recommend that you read our article on how to tank sideways correctly. This is the most important part in TT guide. For successful game you must be aware of how it is done correctly.
Comparison TT-10 which is better?
It is also worth mentioning drum heavy tanks in World of Tanks– they have medium-level armor, but thanks to the charging mechanism and excellent dynamics, they are able to deliver a huge amount of damage. The game on machines of this type resembles the game on medium tanks, so they can only be called “heavyweights” by their class. And finally, a video on the most popular drum TT in wot - T57 Heavy.
It has good rapid-fire weapons with high one-time damage and excellent mobility, but weak armor.

Review
The T-10 in the game is a development of the IS-3 tank, and, therefore, received all the advantages and disadvantages from it. The main drawback is, of course, weak booking.
Although the shape of the frontal part suggests the possibility of non-penetration and ricochets, they are extremely rare in the game. The forehead of the turret is quite strong, but it is difficult to play from the turret on the T-10 due to the small gun depression angles.
The T-10M turret has many vulnerable areas: turrets, sights, observation devices, so this also plays a role in a firefight at a distance.
The good speed and excellent maneuverability of the tank suggests the ability to play in the CT style. However, several facts hinder this.
1. The tank is huge.
2. In close combat, the tank is significantly inferior to the ST in terms of maneuverability.
3. Insufficient rate of fire, any miss or failure to penetrate is fatal for the tank.
About the gun. The top gun 122 mm M62-T2 is also installed on heavy tanks IS-4 and ST-1. These tanks are well armored and hold up well, and this cannon is quite appropriate on these tanks.
They have the opportunity to wait for a long information and miss and non-penetration are not so critical for them. For the T-10, this gun creates some problems.
Frequent misses, since in close combat or at medium distances, waiting for complete information is tantamount to suicide, and at long distances there is not enough accuracy and very long mixing interferes.
After the IS-3, which at its level is a full-fledged heavy breakthrough tank, the T-10 for players may seem even weaker than its predecessor. This tank requires a different play style.
The tank must be protected, one must learn not to be exposed to a shot. Do not go to the enemy first! High speed will allow you to quickly take key positions on the map and ambush. You can take the first shot!
The direction for the attack is the same as for ST. If you correctly use shelters, shoot at someone else's light and not expose the tank to a shot, then a gun with excellent one-time damage will bring you a lot of positive emotions.
Advantages
- High damage and penetration
- Good rate of fire
- High top speed
- Good agility
- Excellent review
Flaws
- Weak booking
- Poor gun depression
- Long body

Heavy Tank Tactics
Since there are a large number of heavy tanks in the World of Tanks game, we will not be able to analyze the features of the game on each vehicle. For example, American heavy tanks are distinguished by excellent armor on the front of the turret and mediocre armor on all other parts, which suggests very specific tactics. High-tier French heavy tanks have practically no armor at all (that's why they are sometimes even called "cardboard"), which makes them very unusual to play.
We will talk further, for example, about such tanks as the Soviet KV-1 and T-150 or the French ARL 44, that is, rather slow tanks, the advantage of which is strong armor. It makes no sense to talk about tanks of higher levels, since, willy-nilly, by the time they are acquired, players will already learn how to play heavy tanks. But, for example, with the purchase of the KV-1, tactics will have to be radically changed after the classic T-28 medium tank.
Often inexperienced players, hitting the heavy tank to the top of the list, give in to the feeling of "I'm in a tank" and fearlessly ride on the enemy, hoping for strong armor. Indeed, it is unlikely that tanks below your level will be able to pierce you in the forehead, unless, of course, they use “gold” shells, and at low levels, almost no one uses them.
But, firstly, without the support of allies, you will be easily surrounded and killed, because the sides and stern of all tanks break through much easier. Moreover, even if you only expose your forehead, under a real flurry of shells, even he may not be able to resist, especially if the enemy can hit the lower frontal part, which is always rather mediocrely armored. Secondly, don't forget about enemy self-propelled guns, which are capable of dismantling even a very armored enemy, as their shells inflict damage even through thick armor, and they can also hit you on the roof, the armor of which may simply be minimal.
Having gone to the hangar after such a "rush" ten times, many players begin to make another mistake: they stand somewhere in the bushes near the base and start shooting at someone else's light. Or hide behind shelters, fearing enemy self-propelled guns. This leads to disastrous results. If you are at the bottom of the list, then you simply will not benefit the team, and you yourself will lose most of the silver and experience that you could get by playing correctly. If you are at the top of the list, then most likely your wrong actions will lead to the defeat of the entire team.
Since you are on a heavy tank, you should be on the first line, that is, the first to meet the enemy. It does not matter here whether your team is attacking or on the defensive in this direction. Thick armor allows you to receive non-penetration and ricochets much more often than medium tanks or tank destroyers. While the enemy will unsuccessfully try to break through your armor, the allies will be able to damage them and outflank them, and light tanks will probably even be able to break through to enemy self-propelled guns, highlight them and even destroy them. You also have the highest HP, so you can survive more damage penetrations than other team members.
Thus, you absolutely cannot stand in the bushes near the base. But one should not go thoughtlessly against the enemy either. Remember that World of Tanks is team game, so you have to play a part in the team and not go it alone. A heavy tank is less dependent on other team members than, for example, a firefly or self-propelled guns, but it still depends.
To get maximum non-penetration and ricochets, there are a few simple tips. Do not expose the sides and stern to the enemy. The strongest part of the tank is the gun mantlet, so try to expose it to enemy shots. The forehead of the tank hull always consists of the lower and upper frontal parts, which form a kind of wedge at the junction. If the upper frontal part of heavy tanks is well armored, then the lower frontal part is much thinner, so even not very good guns can penetrate it. Therefore, the lower frontal part must be hidden behind a variety of objects, bumps, terrain folds.
A good way to increase the chance of not penetrating or ricocheting is to stand in a diamond shape. It is necessary to turn the hull of the tank so that the enemy is forced to pierce the forehead at an additional angle. The enemy in this case may try to pierce you into the side, but it will be at a very sharp angle, so the enemy is unlikely to succeed, or the caterpillar will absorb the damage.
If you play a heavy tank, then you are priority goal for enemy self-propelled guns for several reasons. First, you move slowly, so it's easier to hit you. Secondly, you have a large size, which also makes you a profitable target. It should also be said that heavy tanks have low stealth rates, so you are detected more often than other tanks, therefore, they shoot at you more often.
Obviously, you should stay behind cover so that you don't get hit. enemy self-propelled gun. The main thing is that the cover is high enough to protect you. Some self-propelled guns (for example, SU-5) are able to hit targets even behind fairly high shelters, since their shells fly along a very steep trajectory. So, for example, even tall stone may prove to be unreliable hiding places. It must also be remembered that high-explosive shells do not ricochet. The edge of the stern of your tank that sticks out from behind cover, enemy heavy or medium tanks may not penetrate, but high-explosive projectile The SPG can deal full damage, so be careful.
You also need to imagine where the enemy self-propelled guns are approximately located in order to stand behind cover on the right side. The situation becomes much more complicated if there are several self-propelled guns in the enemy team. Experienced gunners take various positions, which makes it almost impossible for you to find completely safe cover.
But all this does not mean that since you are playing on a heavy tank and the opponents have several self-propelled guns, then you should stand behind some house for the entire battle and be afraid to look out for a shot. Firstly, thick armor protects well from high-explosive shells, so you can stretch under enemy fire for a certain amount of time. Second, unless you're standing in an open field or moving in a straight line at a constant speed, you'll be much harder to hit. Heavy Tank Tactics does not mean “stand still and shoot” with a machine gun, this type of equipment also involves constant movement, which allows you to avoid an unpleasant gift from an enemy self-propelled gun.

Hello everyone and welcome to the site! Friends, today we have a legendary vehicle on our agenda, a Soviet medium tank of the eighth level, in front of you is the T-44 guide.
Surely many of you know that this unit has rather controversial characteristics, because of which the comfort of playing on the T-44 World of Tanks suffers greatly, but you can’t call our Soviet hero weak, he just needs a special approach.
TTX T-44
The first thing that every owner of this domestic device should understand is that we do not have the best margin of safety at our disposal (but by the standards of classmates it is quite typical), as well as a mediocre basic view with a range of 380 units.
If we talk about the T-44 armor characteristics, then this is perhaps one of the few medium tanks of the eighth level that has armor. The strongest part of the machine is the turret, which, thanks to its correct, rather streamlined shape, will often delight you with ricochets if played correctly.
The VLD of the T-44 WoT is also not bad, all because of the same rational slope. By wagging the hull and tucking it in at the right moment, you can also tank well. One has only to understand that it is better to cover the NLD and the sides, so you need to act carefully.
But the biggest advantage of our machine is mobility. Soviet medium tank T-44 World of Tanks has a good top speed, is able to develop it quickly thanks to excellent dynamics, and our maneuverability is at the highest level.
gun
Now let's look at the armament of this unit. There really is something to talk about here, because for the T-44 the gun is available in two versions: top and pre-top.
So, first, let's look at the tier eight (top) cannon and it is characterized by the fact that it has a very weak penetration by both the base BB and the gold, but at the same time a very impressive alpha strike.
At high alpha, the advantages of this weapon end. With this gun on board, the T-44 World of Tanks has a small DPM, it becomes very oblique, and the vertical aiming angles are only -5 degrees, which is also very uncomfortable.
As for the pre-top gun, most owners of the T-44 WoT play with it, and this option can rightfully be considered the most correct. Let's start with the fact that there are also certain problems with armor penetration here, but with ordinary BBs you can already confidently fight against classmates. Despite this, you still need to carry about 50% of the gold ammo to fight against nines and tens.
With this T-44 barrel, the tank has a lower alpha strike, but we will be able to deal about 1850 damage per minute, the result is far from the best, but already quite serious.
With accuracy, the situation here is also relative. We have a good ratio of dispersion and aiming time, these parameters are suitable, in contrast to poor stabilization, which will need to be corrected.
By the way, it is impossible not to notice that with the pre-top cannon, the Soviet T-44 medium tank has more comfortable vertical aiming angles, which will allow us to play from the turret.
Advantages and disadvantages
Based on all of the above, we can conclude that the general parameters of our car are worthy of respect, but the weapons require close attention. To make it easier for you to navigate the abundance of characteristics of the T-44 World of Tanks, now we will break down all the strengths and weaknesses point by point, taking into account the completion of the pre-top gun.
Pros:
Good armor for a medium tank;
Good mobility (maximum speed, dynamics, maneuverability);
Low silhouette and good camouflage;
Decent vertical aiming angles;
Good accuracy (scatter and convergence).
Minuses:
Weak parameters of armor penetration;
Small alpha strike;
Small DPM;
Mediocre review;
Poor weapon stabilization.
Equipment for T-44
Looking at the characteristics of our tank and its shortcomings, an impressive springboard for choosing additional modules is created. But the main emphasis should be placed on increasing damage and shooting comfort, so we put the following equipment on the T-44:
1. - a very important element with our average damage per minute.
2. - another thing that we can not do without, because it is very important for us to improve stabilization.
3. - for mobile equipment with a mediocre view, this option also looks very profitable.
If the view is not so important for you, and you have managed to upgrade the appropriate perks, the third item can be replaced with , which will give an even greater increase in combat power and allow us to converge faster.
Crew training
There will be no innovations in terms of choosing skills for the crew, we need a standard set for a mobile medium tank that combines survivability and comfortable damage implementation. Thus, on the T-44 we download perks in the following sequence:
Commander - , , , .
Gunner - , , , .
Driver mechanic - , , , .
Loader (radio operator) - , , , .
Equipment for the T-44
The choice of consumables is another standard. In our case, everything is extremely simple, if you don’t have extra silver credits or gold, besides, we will have to spend money on gold shells anyway, you can ride with , , . But in all other cases, it is better to put the equipment on the T-44 in the form , , and the last option can be completely replaced with .
T-44 game tactics
This tank can rightly be called one of the most creative in terms of gameplay, because due to weak penetration, head-on collisions are contraindicated for us and we often have to excel in order to drive the enemy into a vulnerable side or stern.
At the same time, for the T-44, the tactics of head-on collisions do not justify themselves because of the armor. Compared to other medium tanks at the level, we have good armor, but we are far from heavy, so it is better to fire at a distance.
Standing on the second line of the T-44 WoT tank can play from disguise or use the terrain and win back the tower. True, in such situations, you still have to charge gold, because when shooting at a distance, penetration tends to fall.
But thanks to excellent mobility, small dimensions and not the best accuracy, the T-44 World of Tanks still feels best when shooting at close range. The main thing in this case, as already mentioned, is to act creatively. Deceive the enemy, drive in from unexpected directions, use your dynamics to push your opponent for a shot. In frontal collisions, try to wag your body, turn it around, but do not turn sideways.
Summing up all of the above, the Soviet medium tank T-44 WoT can also be called an excellent support vehicle, thanks to the same mobility and good rate of fire. But with the right actions, this unit may well show its teeth.
