How to read this tier list

This is not gospel. Tiers are just a fast compass: what is actually worth putting in a division, and what you keep “for the job”.

FAQ

No. This is the author’s subjective take on what is usually convenient and noticeable in-game.
Start with S and A. Add the rest only where the company covers a real gap in that division.

Bottom line

Put S and A in the division first, then pick by job: recon, maintenance, Support Anti-Air, assault, or Support Anti-Tank.
