Highest View Range Tanks in World of Tanks

These tanks will see you before you see them.

Highest View Range Tanks – Tier 10

Marking the end of the tiers is Tier 10, where every tank you encounter is supremely strong. This makes it all the more crucial that you get the jump on an enemy before they can do the same to you.

XM551 Sheridan

The XM551 Sheridan is one of the newest additions to World of Tanks, coming in with several other Tier 10 Light tanks to further diversify the Tier 10 pool. Though it is strikingly similar, statistically, to its predecessor the T49, the Sheridan boasts a view range of 420m, allowing it to sit further back and assist in spotting enemy movements.

Rheinmetall Panzerwagen

The Rheinmetall Panzerwagen, or Rhm. Pzw. for short, is a German Light tank that boasts a whole host of impressive attributes. While the one we’re interested in today is its 420m of view range, the Rhm. Pzw. can lean into its scouting potential thanks to being one of the fastest tanks in World of Tanks.

Couple this speed with its 242 mm of penetration potential, and you have a Light tank that stings far worse than a bee and is able to jet around the battlefield far quicker than a butterfly.

M48A1 Patton

Finally, rounding off the list of highest view range tanks in World of Tanks is the M48 Patton, an American Medium tank with a view range of 420m. This jack-of-all-trades tank can, as the saying suggests, do just about everything.

Thanks to its well-angled hull and rounded turret, it is able to bounce the shots of similar tanks with ease. It even offers a wealth of guns to choose from, an unusual sighting at Tier 10. When equipped with the 105 mm Gun M68, the M48 Patton can dish out 390 alpha with 268 mm of penetration. This damage, coupled with a decent rate of fire, dispersion, and aim time make it an extremely competitive tank.

While it might not come as a surprise to see so many Medium tanks overthrowing their Light tank cousins, it’s certainly alarming to see a Heavy tank with such an outrageous view range. Despite this, there are still plenty of effective Light tanks that offer excellent view range stats among many other excellent attributes. How much importance do you place on view range in your own matches?
