There were and still are some exceptions, most notable of them being, of course, the T 67 which isn't even on this list (spoiler), but these exceptions usually get nerfed sooner or later (does anyone remember the 'old' Marder II or Hellcat?).

stat padders usually use overpowered, low tier, premium tanks, like Pz 2 J (this is one of the reasons why premium tanks are excluded from this list) to raise their win rate, and even if a tech tree tank is used for stat padding, its overall statistics will be diluted because of the sheer amount of casual players playing at the lower tiers its a matter of proportion really - low tier op premium tanks are played almost exclusively by stat padders, while overpowered tanks that are available in the tech tree are played mostly by casuals, because casuals are the largest part of WoT community. You may point out that stat padding win rating is as, if not more, common than padding WN8, and you would be right, but. WN8 rating doesn't always reflect that, because it encourages selfish play and so-called stat padding. Your average win rate should reflect the impact your tank has on the outcome of a battle, and it should be higher in more powerful vehicles. When you're in a World of Tanks random battle, your main goal should be to help your team in beating the enemy and you shouldn't resort to playing for WN8 if the outcome of the game isn't already decided. My reasoning is: Team-based games are meant to be played to win. I will do my best to explain why I chose this stat over WN8 for example (which will not stop me from writing down average global WN8 as well). in short: because it shows what an 'average' player can achieve in a certain tank, but of course it is A LOT more complicated than that. To be as objective as possible I will exclude premium and reward vehicles from this list, and rely on global win rate as the main criterium. And opinions differ greatly from one person to another. More often than not it is our performance in a vehicle and against it, that determines our own opinion about its power level. Some people prefer Over Powered tanks while some like strange or terrible ones (it's about you Tog II fans).
