4Game

So, the Arcade mode has been running for a couple days and I wanted to get everyone's option on what tanks are the best for this mode.

I have stuck to mostly T8. T10 is fun but with games running so quick, you can run through a lot of tanks in a short time. Since most of my T10s rely more on camo and VR, I found myself losing too many credits.

In T8, Heavies are king. Mediums with strong turrets do pretty good and brawling TDs do fair. SPGs are map dependent. If you get mines in an SPG, you will die quickly. The other maps are workable as long as you stay in a corner. LTs are almost useless, except for maybe an EBR as an annoyance.

The credit income with my premiums in T8 has been amazing. Running a 100% / 3hr along with a clan credit booster nets me well over 100k per game. Even with a loss, as long as I do at least two shots or more of damage, I'm getting 60 to 70k.

MVP tier 8 tanks:

Defender – Return of the original OP tank. Great armor, high alpha, good speed. I wish they would keep the accuracy buff on this tank after the mode ends but it would probably be too much.

Skoda T56 – Good tank but I honestly expected more. It makes good credits but the reload kills it because the games are usually just too fast. It did make good results though because of burst damage. I had one game with 6 T-56s on my team so I guess that means something.

Lowe – This one surprised me. The gun and armor was always decent on this tank. I think it's the increased speed that makes this tank shine. You can get to the fight quicker and bring your gun into play.

CS 52 LIS – I expected this tank to do well and wasn't disappointed. The speed and alpha make it a threat to most tanks. The increased gun handling removes the small amount of derpyness the gun would display outside of medium range.

T-34-3 – I was really surprised with this one. I like this tank in standard mode. I love it in railgun. I would pay a not insubstantial amount of real money to keep these stat increases once the mode is over.

T-103 – The speed buff turns this into a different tank. The gun handling increase is nice; the speed/power increase is amazing. You will still have to hide the weak hull but the turret will bounce quite a few shells.
