Best tier 5-7 tanks to keep.

Forgotten_Hope's Photo Forgotten_Hope Aug 10 2012

So I made this post, because I love making money, and can never seem to get a lot of it. So far my favorite tank has been the IS, I can confident;y make 30k credits a game and over 1k xp if I do well, it does end up not being a huge profit, because it costs 1k a shots, and that was a lot for my tier 6-7 kvs. The real question is though, what are your favorite tier 5-7 tanks that you keep for money making purposes. Feel free to post any tank you like that tier, I don't really do arty, but you can still post for other people. Also for these types of tanks, do you think it is a good idea to buy equipment for them. That is what I am trying to do for a lot of my tanks, is get equipment, but it is made expensive for tanks I may end up selling. So what are your favorite tier 5-7s and what equipment do you use on them, if yhou use equipment, or what do you recommend.

for me it's the E2 Jumbo Sherman with the 105 derp (gotta love that thing)... I usually run it with Rammer, binocs, and vents.
It use to be my main go-to tank to unwind, but I haven't played it much recently

T49, PzIV, ELC AMX, M18, M4A3E2, KV-2, VK3601 are some good ones.

the tanks I will always keep in my garage for being fun to play, historic icons and credit grinding are:

M4
Pz4
Easy 8
AMX ELC
T-34 (Russian medium)

Some prefer the Jumbo to the Easy 8, but I prefer the mobility over the armour.

Heyyo,

My tanks for credit income and fun? BDR G1B (racks up lots of kills with the 90mm on it), the Churchil (too fucking funny with the caliber rammer and watching tanks freak out), VK3001P, M10 (derp gun is good), and the KV5 (good money earner and has legendary battles).

Oh.. And the Type 59 once she goes on sale in less than an hour! :P

I haven't played any other tanks other than the Russian line, but my best money earners are my KV-1 and KV-1S.

I run with the derp gun on both, so it keeps the ammo costs down.

All of the tier 7 heavies are good options, which one depends on your play style. The US TD lines really shine in those tiers as well. Tier 5 the KV-1 and PzIV are always good options and have been since the start. Tier 6 the US mediums are good, I personally prefer the Jumbo. The E8 used to be the gold standard, but they've nerfed its credit gain 4 of the last 5 patches. The KV-2 at tier 6 is another good option, one I recommend everyone get. The 152mm it has is called the lolcannon for a reason!

Why run the derp that does on average 120 dmg with a lucky 1 shot here and there vs the long 122 that does 400 per shot and penetrates nearly everything?
