I am new to this game, but I played over 24k battles in wot.  Over time, I found that my favorite tanks happened to be tier 9 mediums.  Decent firepower to deal with tier 10s, decent mobility to get around, better MM with some occasional tier 7 stomping, and smaller repair bill.

 

Is there such "sweet spot" in wows?

Tier 6 for me. That's where most of the ships are getting good.

It's a matter of personal preference and kind of ad hoc depending on your favorite ship types and even your mood.

 

Some of the generalized sweet spots are as follows:

  • Tier 5 CL
  • Tier 6 BB / CA
  • Tier 7 CA
  • Tier 8 BB / DD
  • Tier 9 DD
  • Tier 10 Yamato, Zao, Khabarovsk

tier 9 will make you bankrupt in WOWS!

 

The sweet spot for non-premium income would be tiers 5-7

 

as for fun value, tiers 6 & 7 are probably your best bet, you make decent income and most of the ships are not only fun to play but are powerful too!:look:

My "sweet spot" for fun is tier 2-3 cruisers.  Particularly tier 3 later in the evening when the number of players for matchmaking in tiers 1-2 gets low.  Guns that just keep firing.  Destroyers that just keep exploding.  Battleships that just keep burning.  :D

Tiers 5 & 6 are the best for generating credits IMHO.  The Tier 5 Russian cruiser Murmansk is great - both for generating credits and building up captain's skills.  It's also relatively "newbie friendly". 

 

Personally, I have less fun in Tier 8 and above battles.  I just haven't developed my skills enough.  Also, the meta is more conservative and seems to change significantly between 7 & 8.  Then there are the repair bills - again there seems to be a jump up in Tier 8. 

 

Don't get me wrong - Tiers 8-10 are the most powerful ships and most skilled players.  It just takes a while to get ready.

Tier 5 to 8 premium ships are my sweet spot, doesn't matter what class as long as it is not CV :medal:

Tier 5 - Kamikaze

Tier 8 - Fubuki

Tier 9 - Fletcher

Tier 10 - Khabarovsk

 

All fun to play and all make credits, tiers 5 & 8 particularly well

Recently I found out Gearing + Khabarovsk + Any Tier X(Prefer Moskva, Zao, Yamato, DM) is almost a free win combo, especially there are so many "noob" DD players out there and Gearing + Khab can demolish them within 20s.

That's not what the question was about, but now that we're on the subject, I also noticed that Gearing + Khab works really well. Gearing does the spotting (totally unrewarding, but hey, someone's got to do it) while Khab lights things up from a few km away. A tandem like this is really difficult to counter and just goes to show how broken DDs really are. I tried this as a Khab with a friend's Gearing and felt like I needed a shower afterwards.

Tier 6 is my favorite as I'm a battleship captain primarily, and all T6 BBs in game right now are stellar performers. Tier 8 is also very good for battleships, although at that tier, you're already starting to see games where players run and hide behind islands for fear of losing credits. Tier 6 matches on the other hand are quite exciting with a fair amount of brawling.

Sorry I misunderstood the question. :(

WG really need to implement spotting reward, Gearing basically just need to spot the DDs and here comes a free win. If there are only DDs and no enemy CA/BB support, Gearing can also start firing. However, I have to say, this kind of Gearing play style is extremely boring and unfair for Gearing players.

I find that tiers 4-8 is the most fun.

tier 5 to 7!

 

All the ship lines have their characteristics and the games are fun with a decent amount of brawling.

 

Also having your zao captain put into the myoko is fun >.>
