So I have every type of tank for tier 10 except for mediums. I was thinking if there were any good ones out there? I'm leaning towards the E 50 M right now.

X’s the most balanced of tiers. I wouldn’t say any of them are bad. People will have their favorites based on preferred play style.
I like bully front liners like your E50’s and OBJ 140s. Your mileage may vary.

[KFlowers_16]

T-62a is the best T10 med in most situations.

[_Bland]

E50 M is my favorite, it's like a heavy but with med speed

[IronBehemoth]

I've heard the WZ-121 is an absolute beast in pubs.

[Irany0]

The Leo and TVP are with out a doubt the best choice for beginners in tier ten mediums.

[generalhonks]

E 50 M, T-62A, STB-1, Progetto 65, WZ-121, and Leopard 1.

[Player_0000000007]

Not gonna say its good, it might even be the worst tier 10 med, but I drive the 121b around a lot lately and it is somewhat successful

I wonder what people think of you when they see your name in battle? And then their second reaction as they see your stats?

Stats don't matter.

 

And what makes my name so different?

"Are there any tier 10 med tanks that are good?"

 

*Gif of J Jonah where he laughs at peter parker and says "are you serious"*

 

Top 3 meds imo are the e50m, stb1, and T62a but you cant go wrong with the other tier 10 meds since they are all powerful weapons

[j_rod]

Ummm T22 anyone?

Tech tree

M48: Its a functional hulldown tank but E50M and STB outclasses the tank other than viewrange. Really, the grind is not particularly good because the T20 and Pershing are a bit sad in the current meta and the E8 is average.

Leopard 1: A notoriously difficult tank to play. Huge, no armor, and no light tank charactoristics other than mobility. The gun is good but its not enough to make up the bad aspects. Grind is decent if you play the lights.

E50M: A medium hunter with decent hull armor, troll turret, very good gun handling, and a combination of high top speed and weighing more than some same tier heavies makes it a lethal rammer. Poor acceleration and camo sometimes does not allow it to make rotations. Grind is decent and is a decent line for heavy tank players that want to get the medium playstyle.

T-62A: The more popular of the Soviet mediums. It lacks a 55km speed limit and hull armor but the gun handling is superb, turret is decent, and seven degrees of gun depression allows you to work with ridgelines. Both the light and medium grind are pretty forgiving so its one of the first mediums to go for.

Overall a very solid choice.

Object 140: A medium some unicums like me prefer. The turret armor is significantly weaker though I find that people would not go for small turrets which is the same case for E50M, hull armor is troll, fast, and the gun fires AP which gives the tank high effective penetration. Rammer suddenly becomes a viable option compared to most mediums that has to use calibrated.

FV4202: A slower 140 with a bigger weaker turret and no HEAT. The HESH it gets has high alpha and DPM but the round is fairly unreliable and is not for new players. 

STB-1: Infamous for being the cherry on the top of a terrible grind, the turret is strong, has good gun handling and depression, and decently fast but the hull armor is terrible.

WZ-121: A medium that has everything that every medium wants for some pretty awful gun handling. It is fast, has very good armor, hits hard, and good DPM but dispersion, bloom, and shell velocity is worse in class though it does get good aim time.

TVP: Gets a gun that the Batchat should have and a troll mantlet but armor is unreliable.

Progetto: Has autobounce angles and a autoreloader with high effective DPM but overall DPM is bad, and gun handling needs some work.

I find the T-22 to be overrated. Don't get me wrong, the tank is still very good in tournaments and rating but the tank has been silently nerfed, though it is more to get the hitbox to match up. Terrain resistance is E50M levels, pike nose that is awkward, and gun handling is pretty awful. The side armor is pretty stupid though and it has a nearly invincible turret.

That are correct. My Wz easily has my best medium tank stats. I'm perfectly fine with stopping to aim so I rarely notice the poor on the move accuracy. 

I would recommend this one, but E50M, STB1 and T62A are also good choices.

If there’s a nuclear explosion, sure I’d want to be standing next to a T22, but to me that’s all it’s good for. It’s not even the best Russian medium. I’d pick just about every tech tree tank over this jack of nothing.

except it is the only tier x medium that boosts win rate. so except for the fact that it is the best performing medium.

I’m not a fan either, but it’s definitely a “good” tank. That’s all I was saying

Second best performing Med - but it's the best Relative WR Med for all three sets of in tier WR players. 

 

The TVP performs better but actually lowers players WR...
