Best Premium Tanks to buy in every nation

[Bop]

Recommend your best premium tanks to buy (whether with GE or through store packs) to buy for every nation. Recommend at least one. Regardless of BR.

I will start:

USSR: T-55AM1, T-72TURMS

Any sort of "best"

[SadlyItsDaniel]

people who use T-55AM1 are absolute jokes and bring shame upon the T55 users with their lack of skill

[ArrowViper]

Did you just choose the two highest BR premiums? Why not something fun like T-34-100 or T-44-122?

(T-55s are frustration train with the 8.7 having constant uptiers into 9.7, XM-803/MBT-70s eating my perfectly placed APFSDS shots)

T-44-122 is so much fun. A top shoot and scoot tank

i got a T-55AMD-1 and its the best thing to meet me, its no longer a garbage T54 and it finally has a rangefinder, although the T55s do need a better treatment from gaijin because it gets really annoying sometimes how much stronger opponents you have to face because you got a stabiliser now. The T-55 is the tank where it gets better for you and if you make your tactics better, slower paced and more careful, you might aswell profit even more, the T-55 in short is a miracle for the MBT lovers, it gets really better with the AMD1 version, trust me, when people rely on ATGMs and when the AMD1 uses its countermeasures you should see the salt.

the AMX30 Super is a race car, it's pretty fun

[红莲]

I honestly believe, at least in my opinion, the best premium, to buy at least for СССР is the T-34-100. I use it alot, and its pretty fun. It's kind of a glass cannon though. Awesome cannon, but weak armor for its BR.

[France] VBCI-2 (MCT30)
Here is a light ground vhc, 30mm semi auto cannon with 115mm pen at 9.3 br.
This is actually a great and fun premium, it is fast, and extremely deadly when you shoot at any vhc from the side.
VBCI-2 is actually pretty tanky and have some sustain since the turret is teleoperated, and the inside pretty empty, getting overpenetrated is common, your ammo rack is litteraly at the top side of the vhc and not inside, the back is litteraly full empty.

Here is a nice Recon armored vhc, strong against plane and heli aswell.


[USSR / Russia] 2S38 . Derivastya PVO
Here is one of the strongest vhc you will ever have in the game, mobility, firepower, sustain, insanely good thermal.
Nothing more to say, if you want a 57mm semi automatic cannon, great against everything, including plane and heli, then here is the PVO, the hunter of everything.

From the nations I play the most:

UK: Rooikat 105

Sweden: CV 90105

Japan: Type 16 FPS

Tiger 2 is fun. Long 88, good armour, decent mobility. Little it can't do

[karabaş 🐕‍🦺]

a Lil' secret that gaijin didnt know or basically care but there is a 122mm heavy in 5.3 in ussr tech tree and guess what... its a premium and its my second favorite tank in rank IV just after SU-122P in 5.7 with 17s reload

its funny how they increased BRs of tigers while they cant pen SU-122Ps frontal armor
