Heyy guys

This topic is about that one tank that you had to get, however it was so rubbish or boring that you quickly decided you'd rather buy a donkey and glue a recoiless rifle to its head. Or not quite that extreme ahah

but either way what is the worst tank you've ever owned?

Mine would be the M3 Lee. Not so much a fan of anything american, however the Sherman is a favourite of mine and as we all know the dreaded lee stands in the way. i managed to scrape 1500exp together before deciding that i didn't ever want to see the lee in my garage again and prompty sold it

T-46 in my opinion

[Goltzhar]

For me it´s a tie between PzKpfw V-IV and KV.

I cant stand the slow turrent movement on the KV and the PzKpfw V-IV is just crap.

Edit: -rep for answering his question... well well next time i will think twice before i reply.

[_Strider_]

The KV is the best tank for it's tier, the worst tank is either m3 lee or tiger.

The worst tank you can play is the one that you have no fun playing.Period.
If you are trying to grind through a tank where you struggle to do an impact in your games,where you have no fun playing or even when you have a losing streak..that usually kills the fun for me..
This impression can be worsened by playing an underpowered (or flawed) tank,the tanks classed as scouts..or mostly any stock tanks...

If you want me to name specific tanks then,yes,the M3 "lee"..not because i think its a horrible tank..but more because of the grind you face if you want to unlock the vehicles it gives access to..

The 3001p because,quite frankly,its s*** when you get it. At the end,however,i had some fun with it (fully upgraded that is)

The Jagdpanzer-IV: because initially you cannot.mount.any.single.thing.before.upgrading.the.damn.tracks! (also the inital gun is quite useless..and even fully upgraded its not quite as good as other tanks & TDs on its tier).

Edit:

AMX 40: Tier 4 tank so you get to experience the full effect of the MM first hand..and even with a -potential- high speed..you will never achieve it because: that would involve you going uphill first(!) and good lord is this thing slow!
Like the first few tiers of french tanks the guns are a weak point to: the best gun you get acces to is a tier 3 gun (with ok damage,imo,but close to useless penetration). The armor,though,is -very- good..for its tier. Wont help you against a tier 6 or 7 tank,though. (and yes: you will face those sooner or later in this thing..)

AMX M4 (1945): Its big and tall,with nice straight (slightly sloped it has to be said) sides and not very good armor for a tier 7 tank: Upgraded the speed will be ok and the guns,although the same guns as the ARL 44,are ok too on this tier (because of the penetration,imo). The thing that kills the AMX M4 (and i know they are looking to improve this) is gun depression...In short: you dont have it..At all..Unless you are enganging another tank on completely(!) even ground..you will have to expose large part of your tank in order to take a shot at any vehicle opposing you.

Also a special mention goes to the stock T34 (US): And yes..i know that the thing is being relegated to a tier 8 premium tank as of next patch..but i just had to get this of my chest first..

Apart from the armor (same as the T29,a tier 7 vehicle) you have the 2 first guns (the stock 1 and the T5E1).Now. T5E1 is great on the T29,at tier 7. (even too good,compared to other tier 7 guns,imo)..but..at tier 9 it lacks penetration.And damage. It is better than the stock gun (tier 8 90 mm) but i think that is about the most positive thing to be said about it.
To get the 120 MM gun (and you want that.oh yes.you do.you -really- just want that damn gun.trust me) you have to first get the turret and then you can start grinding the gun. This means,in short,that you will be driving around in a fair amount of matches being (close) to completely useless.did i mention the amount of xp required to unlock the turret and 120 mm gun? Have fun doing that.

[SirRoderick]

Pz III ausf A....absolutely crap
A-20....just as bad but with more exp needed for the next tier.
And the stock VK 3001 Porsche...just, wow bad.

[Gungriffon]

T-28, no doubt. It was just so awful in games. Its armour is terrible and its first guns are really inaccurate. Hated using it, never had a good game in it . I stopped playing it eventually and just focused on getting enough free experience with my other elite tanks to research the KV, as soon as I had researched the KV I sold the T-28. Didint want to bother with the last gun the T-28 could get, I just hated the tank, it was so sh*t. And it was ugly. (as you can see I didnt really like it )

[DD_Zooly]

I never really got on with the T34-85 or to put it another way...............I hated every damn minute!

[ESTBoyx]

M5 Stuart

[Gungriffon]

Oh yeah, forgot about the M5. God that tank was a disappointment
But I dislike the T-28 a lot more, the M5 was better than the T-28 in many ways IMO (looked better, was smaller and therefore harder to hit, and had BETTER armour in most areas).

The barn is pretty bad but it can be fun with the last gun at times, same as the stock kv-3.
Lee is bad had some fun games but mostly just dreadfull ones.

By miles.

Too big and slow to scout, to weak to "tank", to low a RoF to brawl and to low accuracy to snipe. It just can't so anything except dying.

[IanLuxor]

SU-85B.. damn cannon fodder

Slightly better than SU-76 but it is getting matched against higher tiers (of course, because it is one tier higher).

I am really looking forward to the SU-85

[Dammonar]

1) m3 lee no turret, bad armor,  high profile, ugly , mediocre guns shit tank. Whoever says plays like td is an idiot.
2) jpz4  bad bad bad guns even lower tiers bounce those
3) 3001p no armor hellish grind to the short 88

[Tamcia]

I was going to say Tiger as its terrible for its tier, but T-28 is worse tank of all times.

[Scandal]

I don't fully understand why so many people find the M3 Lee so horrible. It is very good stock (in fact, you don't need to upgrade the gun, as it is just a minor improvement), its front armour is good for its tier, and the gun is heavy hitting (but a little inaccurate). Sure it doesn't have a turret, but it turns very fast and it has good gun traverse to sort of make up for it. I even have a steel wall badge from it.

Fair enough, I mostly play TD, so I am sort of used to the lack of turret.

[Frosthark]

T-28 is a great tank... if you know how to play it. With the upgraded guns it has insane firepower for its tier. It is also fast so you can get to your favorite sniping spot first. That's right - this is a sniper tank (duh) - you hide (never had problems with this, even though it's a huge tank) and rain death and destruction upon your enemies with the ZiS-4 gun. Never, EVER rush and fight in the first line - unfortunately that's what T-28 drivers do 90% of the time and later they whine what a terrible tank this is. Honestly very rarely I see a T-28 played right - mostly they just rush down the street or across the open field on Malinovka. Too bad, because you miss out on a great tank.

[Sar1n]

Problem is that 90% of time T-28 is matched to high tiers....and then when you try to snipe you just bounce off enemies, so you gotta do scouting....
