Tech-tree combat vehicles at this BR3
These are the tech-tree combat vehicles at this Ground RB rating, including foldered vehicles. Choose a mix of roles; you do not need to buy or crew them all.
Suggested starting selection: M48A2 C, PzH 2000, Marder A1-.
Additional combat options1
Other vehicles you can bring if they suit your play style.
Air defense2
Add SPAA alongside your four combat vehicles. Choose it for the aircraft and helicopters you expect to face.
How to play this lineup
Opening spawn
M48A2 C is the default core opener. Choose a position that lets you spot and fire first. Avoid trading hits merely because the vehicle is classified as a tank. Use another core vehicle when the map favors its role.
Urban maps
Cover one approach at a time. Stop short of corners, listen, and let the gun settle. Keep an escape route and avoid isolated pushes.
Open maps
Inspect ridges before crossing. Use terrain to conceal the hull where gun depression allows; move after your position becomes predictable.
Uptier / downtier
In an uptier, assume frontal armor may fail and seek side shots or a support lane. In a downtier, pressure with teammates after checking enemy guns; never assume you are invulnerable.
Enemy matchups
Against heavy armor, choose a round and aiming point for the actual plate. Against fast scouts and missile carriers, guard flank routes and break their line of sight.
If the first spawn is lost
Choose PzH 2000, Marder A1- for a different lane or role. Switch to suitable SPAA when aircraft are the immediate threat rather than repeating a watched route.
In three matches, identify cover and an exit before the opening shot. After each death, change the route or role for your next spawn.
Use each vehicle for its strengths. Practice a covered firing position, an escape route and a useful second spawn.
Research the three core vehicles together. Add alternatives for different maps and keep air defense available.
Ammunition and stock grind
Check the vehicle guides for shell choices and ready-rack capacity. Start with useful anti-armor ammunition and available repair/firefighting upgrades, then unlock the equipment your role needs. Use your stock shells while researching better options.
Core lineup budget
Core lineup budget
For featured lineups, the total covers new core vehicles at this stop. Alternative lineups show the full core. SPAA, optional vehicles and the research path leading here cost extra.
| Vehicle | Research RP | Purchase SL | Basic crew SL |
|---|---|---|---|
| M48A2 C | 95,000 | 270,000 | 78,000 |
| PzH 2000 | 95,000 | 270,000 | 78,000 |
| Marder A1- | 95,000 | 270,000 | 78,000 |
| Total | 285,000 | 810,000 | 234,000 |
Purchase + basic crew: 1,044,000 SL
Your remaining cost depends on what you’ve already researched, prerequisites, discounts and crew slots. Expert/ace training, modifications and repairs are extra.
When to move up
- You have at least four combat vehicles that give you different options after a loss.
- You have an SPAA option for the aircraft you expect to face; its BR can be lower than the lineup.
- You’re comfortable aiming the gun and using cover during the reload.
- You have useful backups for the new vehicle while you unlock its modifications.
Likely opponents
Examples from lower, equal and higher BRs to help you prepare. Which ones can be enemies depends on the nations on each team. This is not a ranking of how often they appear.
Leopard 1A2 · 8.0
Italy · Higher BR · uptier range · Medium tank
Threat: A medium tank can fight in the main lane, then move to get a shot from another angle.
M48A2 C approach: Keep your hull covered, watch the return-fire lane and create crossfire instead of repeated frontal trades.
Aiming check: For an available HEAT round, test the exact impact area and obstructions; avoid assuming spaced or reactive armor behaves like a bare plate.
