As I am a bit bored I'd like to assemble a List containing vehicles that are currently OP or at least very strong.
I'll just list the vehicles that come to my mind. If you'd like to propose a new very strong/OP tank, feel free to use my format below. Of course in this list I'm not talking about stock vehicles, but about fully equipped vehicles for maximum abuse. I note in which modes it performs exceptionally well (because some vehicles are balanced for one mode, while they're not in all the others). I aswell use the "OP-Level" To indicate how OP it is:
OP-Level : Description
Just a bit too strong : Good players can take advantage of it, but it does not necessarily need a nerf
Normal : Would need a nerf, but does usually not compromise the game experience for other players
Ridiculous : Needs some serios nerfs. Compromises the game experience for other players
Player-Level: Description
Low Skill : This vehicle performs good even in the hands of a noob
Average : This vehicle at least needs an average player to perform as described
Pro : This vehicle needs a fairly decent player to perform as described
Ok let's start:
LAV-150
Tier: 2 Class: AFV Premium: No
"It might not seem like it but this little buggy can do some serious damage"
Modes: PVP/PVE
OP-Level: Just a bit too strong
Player-Level: Average
Remedy: None
DPM is everything in the low tier bracket (As you only face Bots regardless of PVE or PVP). This tank basically only gets limited by its low ammo capacity. Other than kinda shitty VR it provides everything necessary to control the battle.
M113 ACAV
Tier: 3 Class: TD Premium: No
"The classic newb-stomper mostly used by people who aren't competitive in the higer tiers"
Modes: PVP
OP-Level: Ridiculous
Player-Level: Average
Remedy: less camo, less HEAT dmg and pen
This ugly toaster with a gun on a stick is the worst you can face as a PVP newbie in AW. Its great camo combined with its ridiculous HEAT round that belongs to T5 and not T3, makes it the preferred vehicle for low skilled sealclubbing platoons.
M50 Ontos
Tier: 4 Class: TD Premium: Yes
"HEP and 6 recoilless guns seem to be a great combination"
Modes: PVP
OP-Level: Normal
Player-Level: Pro
Remedy: increase salvo reload, and make it useful for longer ranges
Probably not the vehicle that pops up first on a list of OP-Vehicles in AW, but it surely is. Its HEP ammo deals a great amount of damage in close range. With the six guns you're able to deal a whopping 3k dmg within 2s. Sounds fun. Yes it is actually but not for the enemy.
Begleitpanzer 57
Tier: 5 Class: LT Premium: Both
"The baguette Panzer"
Modes: PVP
OP-Level: Just a bit too strong
Player-Level: Pro
Remedy: None
If played correctly it is a force to be reckoned with. TOW ATGM with 57mm gun is no Joke. With its great mobility a skilled player can easily defeat better armored opponents.
Type 74
Tier: 5 Class: MBT Premium: Yes
"Simply compare it to a Leopard 1A5"
Modes: PVP/(PVE)
OP-Level: Normal
Player-Level: Average
Remedy: reduce turret armor, reduce camo
This tank is everything the Leo 1A5 wanted to be. 3 round ready rack with a decent burst of 1.5k damage already makes it strong compared to the MBT competition. What sets it apart is the combination of a good turret armor with an adjustable suspension, which allows for some good abuse if you know the maps.
VBL
Tier: 5 Class: AFV Premium: Both
"The buggy of doom - Statpadders choice"
Modes: PVP
OP-Level: Ridiculous
Player-Level: Average
Remedy: less camo, slightly nerf weapon systems
This is the statpadding vehicle in AW. Again it seems to have similarities to the M113 ACAV as it features ridiculous camo and overall spotting capabilities. On top of that it features two very capable weapon systems. Use the auto cannon for the PELE memes or just stick to the strong ATGM launcher. Best results if combined with OPhelia or Erin.
XM247
Tier: 5 Class: AFV Premium: Yes
"I guess you can already smell the scent of P2W"
Modes: PVP, PVE, GLOPS
OP-Level: Ridiculous
Player-Level: Low Skill
Remedy: reduce AP pen, remove PELE, reduce HP
This is a good example of why 210mm pen on a tier 5 auto cannon is not a good idea. This is simply P2W, there's not much else to say about it (Just wait until it gets available in the shop). Definitely one of the tanks that can easily ruin your day in AW.
C13 TUA
Tier: 6 Class: TD Premium: No
"Awww. Such a cute tank... I mean seriously. Just look at it!"
Modes: PVP
OP-Level: Just a bit too strong
Player-Level: Average
Remedy: remove infantry, slightly increase salvo reload
Most people hate it because of the long ass reload animation. But let's get real here: It is damn strong. The nearly double shot mechanics deal high burst damage. It's got infantry which grants you an extra damage boost while doing nothing at all. Great mobility and spotting capabilities make it a preferred TD for tier 6.
MT-LB S8 Strela
Tier: 6 Class: AFV Premium: Yes
"Noo you can't just delete an MBT within seconds... Haha rocket pods go brrrr"
Modes: PVP, GLOPS
OP-Level: Ridiculous
Player-Level: Low Skill
Remedy: disable OPhelia for this tank, prohibit troll platoons, restrict matches to max 1 strela per team
This is the choice for troll-platoons in the T5-7 bracket. Its super duper high burst damage combined with HEAT MP warheads make it annoying in PVP. But things get even worse if you end up in GLOPS with those things as enemies. It's easy to dominate every GLOPS battle with this dpm monster and a good reason to not play GLOPS in this tier bracket at all. OPhelia gives this vehicle an even higher buff making it one of the most broken tanks in the whole game.
Scorpion Kastet
Tier: 6 Class: AFV Premium: Yes
"Some people use to hate it after its ATGM were nerfed a bit"
Modes: PVP
OP-Level: Normal
Player-Level: Pro
Remedy: increase ATGM salvo reload, reduce ATGM pen
If you ever felt useless just imagine being a Sabre. This thing basically renders all other spotting AFVs in tier 6 obsolete. Its a small target featuring superior mobility (it goes as fast in reverse as it does in forward speed) and spotting capabilities. What really sets it apart is the weapon system. It features two very strong ATGM with high pen and damage. The ATGMs are amongst the most agile ones in the game and make it quite easy to abuse it for shooting over obstacles while staying behind cover. Its auto cannon is not to be messed with and only limited by the low ammo capacity.
Seon'gun-915
Tier: 6 Class: MBT Premium: Yes
"If this is what devs deem to be balanced we're doomed."
Modes: PVP, GLOPS, (PVE)
OP-Level: Ridiculous
Player-Level: Average
Remedy: increase waepon switch time, increase ATGM salvo reload, reduce mobility, remove tandem warhead
May I introduce you to the tank that renders all other MBTs in tier 6 useless? Kim would be really proud of this. Merging two weapon systems that would still be good on their own is not really my perception of the term "balance". Featuring strong and agile ATGM in combination with the gun allows it to be the burst king of the tier 6 MBTs. Featuring OK armor combined with ridiculous LT-level mobility it leaves much room to use ridiculously abusive tactics.
Taifun 2
Tier: 6 Class: TD Premium: Yes
"The HEAT turtle"
Modes: PVP
OP-Level: Just a bit too strong
Player-Level: Pro
Remedy: slightly reduce camo and HEAT damage
If used correctly the Taifun can become a serious pain in the ass. Featuring high damage HEAT and quite fast reload. It not only possesses nice firepower but as well good camo and mobility. A very special vehicle that is appreciated by good Players.
BWP 2000
Tier: 7 Class: AFV Premium: Yes
"OP since day one, but nobody really cares"
Modes: PVP, GLOPS
OP-Level: normal
Player-Level: Average
Remedy: remove infantry, increase missile salvo reload
An overall great spotter with very strong weapon system. The ATGM don't look amazing on paper but in the game they are devastating. As this vehicle received infantry it's OP state is even worse than before.
Type 90
Tier: 7 Class: MBT Premium: Yes
"This is the vehicle that makes the Leopard 2 cry in the night"
Modes: PVP
OP-Level: Ridiculous
Player-Level: Average
Remedy: reduce LFP armor, reduce accuracy, increase reload
The MBT of choice in tier 7. It's like a leopard 2 but it does everything better. Active suspension allows for some nasty plays as the only weakspot is the LFP. If you happen to be hightier you'll face plenty of tanks that cannot even pen your LFP.
Ramka 99
Tier: 8 Class: TD Premium: No
"Awful grind. But it just gets better with every module unlock."
Modes: PVE
OP-Level: Normal
Player-Level: Average
Remedy: reduce DPM
While it's not really a super duper PVP/GLOPS vehicle PVE is where it really shines. Only surpassed by its brother the mod. 2017. The insane DPM combined with capable ATGM and armor make it a good choice for PVE.
BMPT 2017
Tier: 8 Class: TD Premium: Yes
"Invincible sidearmor? check. Way too high DPM? check. OP? check."
Modes: PVP, PVE, GLOPS
OP-Level: Ridiculous
Player-Level: Low Skill
Remedy: drastically reduce sidearmor, reduce DPM
So you want a Terminator mod. 2000 or Ramka 99 but better? Then this is the vehicle you've been waiting for. Featuring invincible sidearmor and good armor in general it's guaranteed to bounce a lot. With 4 strong ATGM (that would better belong to T9) and 2 high DPM auto cannons it is perfect for some occasional PVE carry or some troll platoon in PVP.
Dragun 125
Tier: 8 Class: LT Premium: No
"Is it a good idea to put a 125mm gun on a BMP?"
Modes: PVP
OP-Level: Just a bit too strong
Player-Level: Pro
Remedy: none
This is how a MBT gun on a LT feels like. 125mm gun with fast reload and high damage is not something to mess with. Featuring excellent mobility infantry and spotting capabilities it is one of the best T8 LTs.
Griffin 50mm
Tier: 8 Class: AFV Premium: No
"An auto cannon that easily pens MBTs frontally"
Modes: PVP, PVE, GLOPS
OP-Level: Normal
Player-Level: Average
Remedy: reduce pen, reduce camo
This is the Terminator for people with tight budget. It's auto cannon featuring a high basepen of 240mm (which even scales up for the two following shots) makes it the deadliest auto cannon in tier 8. The excellent elevation angles combined with an unmanned turret allow for decent hulldown tactics. The tacticam system boosts the camo considerably making it a capable spotter aswell.
K21
Tier: 8 Class: AFV Premium: Yes
"Basically a Marder but faster"
Modes: PVP, PVE, GLOPS
OP-Level: Normal
Player-Level: Average
Remedy: reduce AP damage
An AFV that mainly relies on its auto cannon. High penetration and damage make it chew easily through enemy metal. Its mobility compensates for the lack of armor and the top-attack ATGM are a good measure for special occasions. Again a quite capable spotter that renders its progression tree competition useless.
M-95 Degman
Tier: 8 Class: MBT Premium: Yes
"120mm with sub 5.5s reload? Seems legit"
Modes: PVP, PVE, GLOPS
OP-Level: Ridiculous
Player-Level: Average
Remedy: increase 120mm reload, slightly reduce mobility
The chad of the tier 8 MBTs. Superb mobility with a sub 5.5s reload 120mm main gun make it dominate the other MBTs. Just FYI it's got decent armor too! If you know how to use HEAT you can buff your damage to exorbitant levels.
Marder 2
Tier: 8 Class: AFV Premium: Yes
"The PELE spitter"
Modes: (PVP), PVE, GLOPS
OP-Level: Normal
Player-Level: Low Skill
Remedy: reduce PELE efficiency
It's like the K21 with a bit less mobility and no ATGMs. It's autocannon is where it shines. Brute DPM and PELE ammo make it a superb damage dealer. Capable armor against aut-cannons and a decent amount of HP make it quite a solid tank.
Pindad
Tier: 8 Class: AFV Premium: Yes
"If Satan was a vehicle this would be it"
Modes: PVP, GLOPS
OP-Level: Ridiculous
Player-Level: Average
Remedy: implement a min range of 65m for the launcher, disable OPhelia for this tank, prohibit troll platoons, restrict matches to max 1 Pindad per team
The older brother of the strela is clearly the most toxic vehicle that's in the game currently. Its HE salvos deal more than 1.5k dmg to MBTs frontally and obliterate anything that's not on a MBT level of armor. Its curved missile trajectory allow for ridiculous plays making you nearly invincible while dumping your salvos. If you want to piss off your enemies and make them ragequit this is the vehicle for you.
VCAC Mephisto
Tier: 8 Class: TD Premium: No
"My favorite missile dumpster"
Modes: PVP, GLOPS
OP-Level: Just a bit too strong
Player-Level: Pro
Remedy: remove hard-Kill APS, nerf triple 360° smoke
A vehicle that requires some skill to make it work. But when it does it can easily do solo PVP carrys. The doubleshot ATGM launcher with HEAT MP allow it to oneshot lots of AFVs and TDs and deal significant damage to other targets. Its superb mobility combined with a great spotting potential make it a perfect choice for players who like to control the battle.
AS21
Tier: 9 Class: AFV Premium: No
"Double mortars - Double fun"
Modes: PVP, GLOPS, PVE
OP-Level: Normal
Player-Level: Average
Remedy: reduce armor against auto cannons, reduce VR
The alpha infantry carrier. The double mortar makes it one of the more annoying enemies to fight. Featuring super strong armor against auto cannons and a very strong auto cannon as armament it is already a very strong tank. It's viewrange is very good compensating for the lack of camo.
B1 Draco
Tier: 9 Class: TD Premium: No
"AA gun versus tanks"
Modes: (PVP), GLOPS, PVE
OP-Level: Just a bit too strong
Player-Level: Pro
Remedy: none
Dealing 2.5k dmg with one salvo you really don't want to have one face your side armor. It's not as easy to use as other tanks but patience will be rewarded with this tank. Good players are able to perform very well in it.
Leclerc T40
Tier: 9 Class: TD Premium: Yes
"So you want to increase your WR without any effort? This is the perfect vehicle for it"
Modes: PVP, GLOPS, PVE
OP-Level: Ridiculous
Player-Level: Low Skill
Remedy: nerf DPM, reduce HP
You miss the Termi 2017 from tier 8? Don't worry My.games got you covered! A vehicle that's often taken as a prime example for the definition of OP or P2W. Featuring a ridiculously strong auto cannon in combination with good mobility and strong armor it allows for easy and brainless rush-tactics. Best results in PVP/GLOPS are achieved in a triple statpadder platoon best combined with OPhelia.
Stryker ADATS
Tier: 9 Class: TD Premium: Yes
"Feels like the Hellfire, just more mobile and better versatility"
Modes: PVP
OP-Level: Normal
Player-Level: Average
Remedy: nerf salvo reload of ATGM
We all love the Stryker platform. But the ADATS takes it to another level. Six very strong and fast ATGM fired in fast succession combined with good mobility is all you wish for as an ATGM lover. For increased versatility it features kinetic rockets to finish off enemies or deal with some noob AFV who tries to rush you.
CATTB
Tier: 10 Class: MBT Premium: Yes
"Y u nerf mah CATTB. I paid good money for it"
Modes: PVP, GLOPS
OP-Level: Ridiculous
Player-Level: Average
Remedy: remove double tap, reduce LFP armor against AP, reduce mobility
The prime example of how to easily start a shitshow. The prime example of how to not nerf a tank. The prime example of why you can't balance double tap MBTs. Its armor is still at ridiculous levels against AP if used properly. The double tap makes it deal 2k damage within the fraction of a second. C'mon you could've forseen this :(
T15 Armata
Tier: 10 Class: TD Premium: No
"The holy grail for russian bias believers"
Modes: GLOPS, PVE
OP-Level: Ridiculous
Player-Level: Low Skill
Remedy: nerf DPM, remove active APS, remove infantry
The king of PVE for sure. If you ever need to carry hard. This is the vehicle of choice. Featuring superb dpm, strong ATGM, strong armor and decent mobility it's the kind of tank that doesn't have any disadvantages.
Type 10
Tier: 10 Class: MBT Premium: Yes
"Yet another BP vehicle. Very suspicious"
Modes: PVP, GLOPS, PVE
OP-Level: Normal
Player-Level: Average
Remedy: nerf salvo reload, add penalty to insta ammo swap, remove partial reload, reduce camo
This one seems to be better balanced than our fellow CATTB. It still features ridiculous burst damage with a salvo reload of 2s and a magazine of 4 shells. Partial reload allows for a very fast reload time. Its strong armor combined with the very good mobility will make it one of the meta tanks in Tier 10.
Object 490
Tier: 10 Class: MBT Premium: Yes
"The invincible door wedge"
Modes: PVP, GLOPS
OP-Level: Ridiculous
Player-Level: Average
Remedy: nerf LFP armor, drastically reduce side protection against HEAT
This post apocalyptic fantasy tank is the wet dream of people who like armor. If played properly it is invincible frontally. If you use HEAT as your main ammo, you're out of luck today. Its ability to drive even with broken tracks and its superb speed in general make it a top tank to mitiligate damage and block important paths.
Shadow
Tier: 10 Class: AFV Premium: Yes
"I am invisible"
Modes: PVP
OP-Level: Ridiculous
Player-Level: Pro
Remedy: reduce camo, increase camo penalty for shooting
If you ever faced a capable Shadow player in PVP, you know that it can be abused to ridiculous levels. It's nearly invisible and a superb spotter. It's weapon system is capable to deal the damage needed at the right time in the battle.
