T34 is pretty fun, although it is really slow and immobile.

The gun penetrates practically everything, and if  you know how to position yourself well you can take some damage.

Drawback is weak hull and slow reload/aim time.

Already tons of topic on this subject but first we need to know what kind of gameplay you like.
Is this prem for maney making, having fun and wich class of tank do you want? (heavy, med, TD, and soon light)

The IS6 I dont rate much  as the gun has 175mm PEN ....but it can bounce a shell !!!

Type59 earns the most credits hands down, and in my opinion it is the most fun of the bunch.

If you like Meds Type59 as long as it is available.

Löwe and T34 are good picks if you like heavies. Löwe is better all round, T34 only if you can find the Hull-Down spots.
KV5 is full of weak-spots and can be an effective damage soaker for a team, gun is a little underpowered.
IS-6 is bouncy and good for close-in fights. In a sniper duel it will loose to all 3 other heavies unless angled correcly (Low penetration and rate of fire of the gun are prime gripes for me)

Looking at your Profile you have Type already, so none unless you play well in Heavies.
Save the money and invest in a decent Mouse, a better graphics card, a faster Monitor, whatever makes you play better.

Depends on which kind of playing you like :)

I really like the Löwe

Must say I never played T34, but played T29 and T32, which seems to be quite like the T34.
I really like those tanks, so I believe I'd like T34 as well

I also like the Type 59 a lot. Whole different way of playing, but still fun :)
Keep in mind you can get the Type 59 in the gift shop soon, for a limited time.

I don't think I would like IS-6, as it seems to have quite low penetration :)

Don't know what works for you :)
You like fast tanks, I'd suggest Type 59, not that it's the fastest tank, but still faster than the heavies...
Also the Type 62 is available soon. I know it's a tier 6, but it's still a premium, so I'd guess it makes good credits :)

This.

In Type 59 there's no chance to level your crew, since there's no China-Tech-Branch of tanks available. The only benefit is money. With T34 or Löwe or IS-6 you have the chance to level your heavytank crew without any penalties and you make some money. Same applies for any premium mediumtank.

So, if you go for german heavytanks get Löwe and so on.

Right now, i would recommend to buy none...

You already own a Type 59, but your statistics on him don´t look very successfull.

The only second tier 8 tank you own is that AMX 100, nothing i would consider a true heavy.

Regarding your overall game performance (45% victories, very low kill ratio, low damage ratio and poor accuracy), i dare to assume that another premium tank wouldn´t help you on your way to improove yourself.
As you might have already noticed, premium tanks offer an easy way to high tier battles, however, the are just better than stock tanks of their tier, but weaker than fully upgraded tanks of their tier an class.

The options you have to choose from are Pershing, Löwe and T34 (did i miss one?), and you lack the gaming experience to understand one of these tank by now, from my point of view.
Most premium tanks require more experience and skill from their drivers, than their regular researchable counterparts, and, no offense, your statistics show that you are far away from understanding and mastering the tier 8 tanks you drive.

I really recommend to wait, grind for tanks like T29 and Kingtiger (which are at least comparable to T34 and Löwe), and then decide, which you like more so you spend some real money on their premium brothers.

If you don´t do that (and i expect you to ignore my advise ;) ) you will just end up with a very challanging vehicle in battles where you bear the burden of responsibility for your team (if you are the alpha dog) or the challange of an easy to kill vehicle (if you face tier 9/10 guns). Both won´t bring much fun, leave you killed very quickly and might ruin the game four your team, aswell as your fun with this game.

So, take your time, make use of the Type 59, if you need the money, and wait with the second premium tank until you can decide for yourself, which tank fits your favourite playstyle!

wait for the type 59 to go on sale, you wont regret it. The t34 is good, but i also find the Super Pershing great too, if you can deal with the speed.

Type 59 is a blast to play, makes a a huge amount of credits and its fun trolling players when you are top tank and they cannot pen you, if you angle correctly :Smile_trollface-3:
