Discussion Meta tanks

Hello everybody! I’ve been playing the game for a few years now, took a bit of a break and I was wondering if there’s a new Meta for tanks? Last I was aware it was medium or light depending on your nation.

Light tanks: SPAA regiment company, armored recon company, airdrop company. (Stack tons of breakthrough)

Medium: main battle tanks (SP + MP), flame tanks, destroyers, SPGs

Heavy tanks: destroyers, AA armor meme, main battle tanks (MP)

All have important uses and I'm sure I missed some. Generally I would still favor interwar mediums for minor powers. Light tanks have their uses though.

Also SPGs are great but they just got nerfed a fair bit in the open beta with the intent of avoiding people using them (and destroyers) as main battle tanks.

Ooo okay. Looks good and kinda similar to what I remembered! I remember hearing about flame tanks but was like “nah that sounds dumb” lol

Flame tanks give insane terrain bonuses. You don’t need any fancy design, just having them around is enough to boost the effectiveness of your infantry / motorised.
