T-54 for me looks to be the worst. I think you start with a tier 7 gun.

 

PTA is, imo, the best tier 9 medium.

Of course now WG will probably give it a 3 second aim time and ruin it.

 

E50 and M46 Patton used to be really bad. They eventually make their stock grinds easier by shuffling around their packages. 

 

The E50 used to start with the 7.5cm L/70 and force you to grind out ~25k xp with that and the stock engine / tracks before you were even allowed to equip the shorter 8. 8 or the 7.5cm L/100. Then it was another 50k or so before you could equip the 8.8 L/100.

 

The M46 Patton used to start you with the T20's 90mm.

E50 used to start with tier 6 gun, so there's that.

There are some exceptions, like tier IX Polish heavy, final upgrade gets you nothing and costs like 60k (not sure), also French tier IX heavy final package gets you worse gun for 60k xp (folks don't buy this one it's a total waste). I would add Obj 705 to that group too, final package gets you 130 mm gun with bigger alpha but less pen and DPM gets worse and handling also, just not sure if this one is avoidable or mandatory in tier X grind.

 

Now that I said it it looks like most of the newly added tier IX heavy tanks have useless final packages.

 

people underestimate the 130 on the 705.

122 mm works better imo. 130 mm is not the same gun as on IS7, it's much worse and I do prefer DPM over alpha. But I guess it's a matter of preference.

It is the same gun from the IS-7 lol. but at a tier lower and works better too. gun stats may be worse but 490 bombs and APCR a a lot better than the 122's terrible 315mm HEAT

As I said I prefer DPM, 440 dmg is just fine for tier 9 heavy.

Still use the 130 but whatever floats your boat.

 I wasn't trying to convince you not to use it, it's there and everyone has a choice. I've tried it once but came back to 122 after that one battle. Have fun shooting 490 bombs then.
