Armored fighting vehicles designed by or imported into the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. USSR tanks will often fall into a role-set that each class will excel at, but at the expense of being notably less capable if called into other roles at any time. The USSR designed and fielded several of the most recognizable, and in some cases ubiquitous, tanks in the history of armored warfare. Best suited for high-speed spotting or flanking, or head-on frontal engagements due to high-speed and/or thick frontal armor.

The Soviet Lights at low tiers come in a number of varieties. The BT series vehicles leading to the T-34 are fast, but have little armor, and generally poor guns. The lights leading to the heavies are less mobile, and similarly lack armor, but feature greater firepower when compared with the BT series tanks. The high tier Soviet light tank line begins at the tier VI MT-25 and like other light tanks feature excellent mobility, and adequate firepower, albeit less than their medium tank counterparts. Unlike other light tanks, Soviet lights have armor strong enough to take a little bit of punishment, their primary distinguishing feature

The Soviet Mediums begin at the tier V T-34. Soviet mediums are regarded as some of the most well rounded vehicles in the game, all with good mobility, fair armor, and solid guns. Mid tier Soviet mediums focus primarily on damage per minute output on platforms with mediocre armor and mobility, but beginning with the tier VIII T-44 evolve into the the "MBT" playstyle trademark of cold-war era Soviet tanks with well angled hulls able to ricochet shells, tough turrets, excellent mobility compared with other mediums, and well rounded guns with decent accuracy and good damage per minute numbers.

The Soviet Heavies are composed of two separate lines; the popular "IS" line culminating in the tier X IS-7, and the "KV" line ending in the IS-4. In general, Soviet heavies feature powerful guns with higher damage per shot than their American, German, and British counterparts, at the expense of their accuracy and gun handling. The IS-7 line tends to feature better mobility, at the expense of raw armor thickness, and commonly feature a "pike nose" configuration and spaced side armor still giving them strong armor profiles. The IS-4 line focuses more on brute armor thickness, at the expense of mobility. KV line tanks tend to feature thick armor all around, and are excellent brawlers and sidescrapers as a result, but comparative lack of mobility makes them less flexible than their IS line counterparts.

The Soviet Tank Destroyers at low tiers begin with lightly armored, fairly mobile vehicles, with high penetration guns, at the cost of relatively lower damage per shot when compared with German and American low tier TDs, but all feature excellent concealment values. However, beginning with the tier VI SU-100, they branch into 2 distinctly different lines. The first is the Object 268 line, which emphasizes raw firepower and damage per shot, and the other is the Obj 263 line, featuring greater mobility, and a little extra armor at the expense of damage per shot. Both lines retain the trademark concealment values of their lower tier counterparts.

 Armored fighting vehicles designed by or imported into the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. USSR tanks will often fall into a role-set that each class will excel at, but at the expense of being notably less capable if called into other roles at any time. The USSR designed and fielded several of the most recognizable, and in some cases ubiquitous, tanks in the history of armored warfare. Best suited for high-speed spotting or flanking, or head-on frontal engagements due to high-speed and/or thick frontal armor.
-To go into detail, the '''Soviet Mediums''' are a group of tanks with a variety of uses. Low tier, you see a good mix between armor and firepower, but not necessarily mobility, one example being the T-26. Going up, you see the main T-34 series, which perform well in a variety of situations. As you reach the top of the train, you see tanks capable of being a light, medium, or heavy tank. With their absurd frontal armor and great mobility, such as the T-62A, they are a force to be reckoned with. When choosing a medium line to go, the Soviet Line should be one of the top choices for any player, noob or veteran.
+The '''Soviet Lights''' at low tiers come in a number of varieties. The BT series vehicles leading to the T-34 are fast, but have little armor, and generally poor guns. The lights leading to the heavies are less mobile, and similarly lack armor, but feature greater firepower when compared with the BT series tanks. The high tier Soviet light tank line begins at the tier VI MT-25 and like other light tanks feature excellent mobility, and adequate firepower, albeit less than their medium tank counterparts. Unlike other light tanks, Soviet lights have armor strong enough to take a little bit of punishment, their primary distinguishing feature
-The '''Soviet Heavies''' are an interesting bunch of tanks. It starts off with the KV-1, a successful tank both in game and real life. Now here is the problem, you can choose to either go the T-150 or KV-1S route. Many choose the KV-1S first due to it being able to equip a 122mm gun, but the T-150 line has a line full of steel. From the KV-1S line, you reach the Isoif Stalin line, a company of agile, hard hitting tanks, but mostly lack aquedate armor (exception being the IS-7). The T-150 line leads to the continued KV series, topping off with the ST-I and IS-4. Now these tanks are a slow bunch, well under-powered compare to the IS line (IS-3's 122mm BL-9 vs. KV-4's 107mm Zis-24), and have significantly less mobility, but make up for this with their impenetrable armor. No matter which line you choose, the Soviet Heavy Line is accommodating to any style of game play.
+The '''Soviet Mediums''' begin at the tier V T-34. Soviet mediums are regarded as some of the most well rounded vehicles in the game, all with good mobility, fair armor, and solid guns. Mid tier Soviet mediums focus primarily on damage per minute output on platforms with mediocre armor and mobility, but beginning with the tier VIII T-44 evolve into the the "MBT" playstyle trademark of cold-war era Soviet tanks with well angled hulls able to ricochet shells, tough turrets, excellent mobility compared with other mediums, and well rounded guns with decent accuracy and good damage per minute numbers.

In general, Soviet heavies feature powerful guns with higher damage per shot than their American, German, and British counterparts, at the expense of their accuracy and gun handling. The IS-7 line tends to feature better mobility, at the expense of raw armor thickness, and commonly feature a "pike nose" configuration and spaced side armor still giving them strong armor profiles. The IS-4 line focuses more on brute armor thickness, at the expense of mobility.

Both lines retain the trademark concealment values of their lower tier counterparts.
-The '''Soviet Tank Destroyers''' are just a marvel of engineering. Appearing with the AT-I, you see the difference between the light guns of the T-26 and the Anti-Tank gun of the AT-I. Going up, you see the SU line, which enlighten anyone who uses them. Reaching the SU-100, you see the 122mm, the only gun comparable with the KV-1S. Now here, you can go either Su-152 or SU-100M1. The SU-152 line is where all hell breaks loose, with the dreaded 152mm guns. The higher you go, the more accurate the monsters become. It tops off with the Object 268, a fast-firing killer on the run. If you choose the SU-100M1 line, you see a bunch of more agile "flankers." With good armor and speed, but not necessarily firepower, these are often used as flankers, which wreck havoc on unsuspecting enemies. Going up, you get more agile, but the biggest gun you get is the 130mm of the Object 263. Frontal armor is where this beats the SU line. Whether you choose a heavy gun or great armor and mobility, the Soviet TD line is sure to be one of the first lines you pick.
-'''Soviet light tanks''' play very similarly to a lighter version of their medium counterparts at higher tiers. topped off with the t54 ltwt, the line features light tanks with much better than average armor and fantastic mobility. All in all they are a great choice tier for tier, especially for a light tank enthusiast.
