Tier 6 Tanks for Clan Wars

Sorry all, was unable to publish this first post until now due to work but here it is:

I would recommend mostly faster tanks for Tier 6 Clan Wars and overall competitive play. If you are interested in joining a clan that does Tier 6 Clan Wars you may want to have 1-3+ tanks that are competitively viable and you are going to want to pick up a heavy. In my experience I would also recommend that you have at least a 100% crew for your tanks, however, you don't really need to have a large number of skills/perks. On to the tanks:

Cromwell/Cromwell B- Possibly the most overpowered tank at the moment for skilled players wanting to statpad at tier 6 due to its excellent mobility, decent gun, light tank mobility, and medium tank matchmaking. This is usually the pinnacle tank for this type of gameplay but I never really enjoyed it as much as light tanks for this style of rushing and shooting on the move due to the horrific gun statistics on this tank. (I do have 3 marks however)

Modules: Rammer/Vents/Gun Laying Drive or Rammer/Gun Laying Drive/Optics (beware aim time sucks)

Type 64-Easily the best pure scout at tier 6 along with a great gun and good gun stats. Its low profile makes it better for active scouting compared to the T37 and it shoots on the move well enough without Vertical Stabilizers. This tank is also great as a readily available premium tank that can always be bought and makes great money.

Modules: Rammer/Gun Laying Drive/Optics or Rammer/Binocs/Camo Net

T37-Similar to the Type 64 in many ways but better at brawling due to its overpowered health pool and still great gun. Has better APCR pen for making OIs look like idiots. The autoloader variant of the gun is also great, and far superior to the 12t which also sadly means that you can't use rammer.

Modules: Vents/Optics/Vertical Stabilizer

OI-The best heavy of the tier with a rather competitive littler gun and a great derp gun as well. This tank has all of the armor in the world paired with great health pool and terrible mobility. This tank is best used on city maps or corridor maps with linear angles. I would recommend to have a heavy spall liner for this tank in order to lessen HE splash damage from other OIs. This tank is a must have for any player looking for Tier 6 gameplay because heavies have long lockouts and this is by far the best one.

Modules: Rammer/Gun Laying Drive/Heavy Spall Liner or Rammer/Vents/Heavy Spall Liner

A-43- The best alternative medium to the Cromwell due to its ridiculous DPM with its 57 mm gun and decent stats for moving and shooting as well as good accuracy for the tier. This, coupled with great APCR penetration and troll armor makes this tank a highly competitive tank to run with Cromwells. However, I would only recommend running 2 of these tanks in a medium tank line up due to lack of gun depression. Optics are a decent choice but not great due to average view range.

Modules: Rammer/Vents/Gun Laying Drive or Rammer/Gun Laying Drive/Optics

Hellcat-Essentially the only good TD for Clan Wars due to its medium like characteristics. It has a punchy gun and decent gun statistics to keep mobile and shooting in order to provide close and long range support to medium tank teams. This is an excelent counter to OIs on open maps such as Malinovka.

Modules: Rammer/Gun Laying Drive/Binocs

59-16-The best killer of light tanks and mediums due to its devastating autoloader with sub-par penetration. It also has a quick reload making it a good close support tanks but bad against heavies of any kind. Gun stats aren't that bad and has great mobility. Can also use a rammer even though it can utilize an autoloader.

Modules: Rammer/Gun Laying Drive/Optics or Rammer/Vents/Gun Laying Drive

T34-85/Rudy-A good heavy medium with okay armor and decent alpha damage and great penetration and decent DPM. This tank is great for good heavy support and sniping and the ability to also be used with faster mediums. APCR ammo on this tank makes it a great fast counter to the OI but with better health and armor than the Hellcat.

Modules: Rammer/Vents/Gun Laying Drive

VK 30.01P-A overlooked heavy medium with okay penetration but terrible shell velocity. Its APCR does not do that well against OIs but it can perform some levels of heavy support and has great armor values for the tier

Modules: Rammer/Vents/Gun Laying Drive

Part 2 coming with the last few tanks...
