- Т-54,
- E 50,
- M48 Patton,

A "jack of all trades", medium tanks have enough speed and agility to remain effective at midrange, but their endurance, armor, and HP pool allow them to withstand some serious damage. Their main advantage is working in groups. A wolf pack of medium tanks is capable of sinking their teeth into any prey.

- KV-1,
- Maus,
- AMX 50 B

SPGs
52 SPGs in the game
- SU-14,
- T92 HMC,
- G.W. Tiger,

A support class, and the least mobile vehicles in the game. SPGs play a unique role in combat: utilizing an RTS-style "bird's-eye view", they track spotted vehicles and deliver a stunning payload that temporarily takes a vehicle's crew out of the game and deals critical damage to parts of a tank.
