Three Tier 11 tanks have appeared in World of Tanks: the Soviet heavy tank Object 279, the American heavy tank MBT-B, and the Chinese super armored heavy BZT-70. We tell you how to get Tier 11 tanks and which one to upgrade first.
How to get tier 11 tanks in World of Tanks
There is only one way to get Tier 11 tanks. To do this, you need to complete stages in the Orbita project. There are ten stages available. Unfortunately, you cannot get all three Tier 11 tanks. For completing four stages, you can get one Tier 11 tank. And the second Tier 11 tank will only open after completing the tenth stage.
Stages are completed for special points, which are earned for resetting fully pumped branches. Each reset and re-pumped branch will bring you 200 points. And to get the first tank of the 11th level for 800 points, you need to reset four branches. After the reset, you need to not only research each tank again, but also play 1 battle on each machine. And this battle must be won.
Which Tier 11 Tank Is Better To Upgrade First?
After each reset branch, the combat experience earned on each tank before remains untouched. If there is not enough combat experience to open the next tank, then you can use free experience. If there is not enough free experience, then all that remains is to donate, converting gold into free experience, or play the required number of battles on a certain tank to open the next one. And so on from the sixth to the tenth level.
A surefire option. Object 279 is a versatile tank that will suit both newbies and experienced players. It can take the direction of both medium tanks and heavy tanks. It will be good in both roles.
The tank has good frontal armor and sides, excellent dynamics and speed at the level of medium tanks, decent damage. The gun is not the most accurate, but you will not stand in the bushes with it, right? Object 279 is a breakthrough tank. If you have already taken it, then play actively. At the same time, it forgives misses and mistakes, like any Soviet top tank in the game.

2. BZT-70 can be taken second
The second most comfortable is the Chinese heavy tank BZT-70. Yes, it is slow. Yes, it is huge, like a barn. But its gun is monstrous. With one shot, this mastodon removes more than 1000 points of durability on standard ammunition and can give as much as 1700 damage at a time with armor-piercing fin-stabilized sub-caliber shells.
Not only does it have the highest damage per shot and the most armored front among other Tier 11 tanks, but it also has the best armor penetration among its classmates. For this, it is forced to pay not only with slowness, but also with a crooked gun.
If you like classic heavy tanks like the German E 100 and armored anti-tank guns like the fat Jagdpanzer E 100, then take it and enjoy. You won’t go wrong, as the Chinese pot-bellied tank is too good in closed locations.
3. MBT-B – for the skilled
The American heavy tank is not the most obvious choice for the first tank of the tier 11. But if you are above the average player, then it can become the second tank on this list instead of the Chinese or the Soviet. It has good potential, which can be realized only by smart players with straight hands.
This is more of a medium tank than a heavy one. On paper, it’s heavy, but in reality, it’s medium. With decent mobility and weak armor, especially around the lower armor plate. In the wrong hands, it flies to the hangar very quickly, but in the right hands… Its drum is a whole other story. With the “Electromagnetic Relay” skill pressed in time, the tank can send a tier 10 tank to the next world in a matter of seconds.
Overall, it would be a stretch to call it the weakest of the three newcomers. It is not easy, and you won’t be able to use it everywhere and always, but it is not weak. If you are driving head-on on the Object 279 and BZT-70 and playing as a classic heavy, then the MBT-B is a typical medium tank without armor, where you need to choose the moment to strike.
