Medium tanks are relatively sophisticated vehicles in World of Tanks. Its tank is originally characterized by a balance of firepower, mobility and protection. It does not emphasize a certain aspect, but emphasizes the shaping performance. In addition, medium tanks require more concentrated action. The specific issue of operational formations has nothing to do with this question and will be discussed next time. Here we first look at the differences between medium and heavy duty.

1 Armor, medium armor is about 60mm worse than heavy armor of the same level.

2 Firepower, the firepower of the medium-sized one is one level worse than the heavy-duty one of the same level.

3 health, medium-sized ones have less life than heavy ones of the same level. (The gap is different at different levels)

4 Maneuvering, the medium-sized one is about 10 miles faster than the heavy one of the same level.

To sum up, the conclusion is that medium tanks can fight one-on-one heavy tanks one level below themselves without suffering any disadvantages. When fighting tanks of the same level as itself, you will obviously need other fire support. (Except for keeping the tracks broken to prevent heavy vehicles from moving.)

After that, we will compare the differences between medium tanks and destroyers.

1 Armor, the medium-sized armor is similar to that of a destroyer of the same level (the advanced German destroyer should be considered an assault gun)

2 Firepower, the medium-sized one has better firepower than a destroyer of the same level 2 levels difference.

3 HP, the medium-sized tank has slightly more HP than a destroyer of the same level.

4 Mobility. The medium-sized one is similar to a destroyer of the same level. Due to the turret, the operation is more flexible.

To sum up, the conclusion is that medium tanks were completely defeated by destroyers in the confrontation. But both sides can take advantage of hit-and-run, and medium tanks are more flexible at this time.

Is it necessary to compare the above two questions? No. Let’s talk a few words first. Some people use World of Warcraft as an analogy. Compare heavy tanks to warriors (thick HP, high defense), and destroyers and artillery to mages (high output, thin HP). So what is the position of the medium tank? Of course it is the Taoist priest (too mediocre). But is this actually the case? Perhaps it seems so from the surface data. However, this is not the case. We can see every beautiful victory, destroying the opponent's large forces at a small cost to our own side, mostly caused by medium tank attacks. Although there are mistakes in the opponent's deployment here, seizing the opportunity is the magic opportunity of the medium tank.

Of course, we can also see battle situations where the mid-tank attack is unfavorable and is completely destroyed by the opponent, but the opponent suffers very little losses. I think this is the secret of medium size. The key to using it is not only the operation, but also the opportunity. So let’s analyze this timing below. At the beginning, the situation of both sides is unclear. After light reconnaissance, the first person to judge the situation is the captain (the most senior tank) who determines the main attack direction. It is then up to the medium tank to decide whether to accompany the action. Next, follow the development of the battle situation and wait for the time.

The medium tank begins to play its real role in the middle game!!!
