None, they are all good.

Find what type of playstyle you like and find a tank that fits you. Rank 3 is totally diverse!
I love jagdpanzer IV. But it's up to you
Panzer4s with 75mm gun are great.

US - M4A3E2, altough my personal favorite is M6A1, crap armor but good gun for that BR.

Germany - Tiger E

Russia - T-34-85(D-5T)

British - Churchill Mk VII

Japan - Chi-To

In My Opinion

Germany - Tiger II: H

Russia - T-34-85(D-5T)

British - Sherman FireFly or Any Chruchill

Japan - Chi-To

Exactly. I was not expecting to like them as much. Do you know something similar to them? Jadpanther do a good job but with the uptier is not that bright

Lets one up that with a BR 5.3 KV-220.

Was a beast then, I guess is kind of a beast now, until it gets a PaK-43 from a diesel tiger in the face.

I'd say the best tier III tank across all nations is probably still the Tiger 1. Absolutely formidable if used correctly. I think the reason it's still at the battle rating it's at is because the vast majority of the people who play it have ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE what armour angling is and also can't aim or position themselves correctly.

It's competitive when uptiered and murders everything then downtiered. One of my best games in the Tiger 1 was on Berlin, uptiered to 6.7. 5 tanks destroyed, all of them 6.3 - 6.7 and won the game without losing the tank. This is just one example but if you play the Tiger 1 correctly it is a common occurrence.

There are other good tanks in tier III as have been mentioned (M18 (one of my top tanks), Jumbo Sherman, T-34-85, KV-85, Panther D to name a few of my favourites), but I don't think any of these are as balanced in capability or consistent in performance as the Tiger 1.

I think British and Japanese tanks fall behind a little compared to the other nations at tier III, Britain gets its revenge upon everyone throughout tier IV and V though. Japan well... they have to wait a bit longer.

I've heard many good things about the Centurion mark. 1. It's quite undertiered atm.

Cent Mk 1 is tier 4.
