About World of Tanks

✦ AI summary

Command 800+ historically detailed tanks across 11 nations and tiers, balancing split-second reflexes with strategic positioning in tactical 15v15 battles and diverse PvE/PvP modes. World of Tanks stands out with its deliberate pacing that rewards smart plays over twitch skills, five distinct vehicle classes that fundamentally change how you fight, and deep customization through crew perks, equipment, and visual upgrades.

World of Tanks offers something for everyone: Try different tactics, vehicles, and modes!

ACTION AND TACTICS

World of Tanks has a unique pace. Its armored vehicles are fast enough to draw you into the action, yet slow enough to give you time to think strategically. Good reflexes are always a plus, but it's smart and bold moves that can really turn the tide of a battle. Identify a weak spot in the enemy team's defense, move to an advantageous position at just the right moment, or ambush an opponent—and you'll feel like a champion.

VARIED GAMEPLAY

The unique pace is yours to control: there are five vehicle types that each play very differently. Generally, light tanks rely on their speed and stealth, heavy tanks on their armor, and mediums on versatility. Tank destroyers (TDs) are feared damage dealers, and self-propelled guns (SPGs) hurl shells at enemies from afar, using an RTS-like view. Almost every one of the 800+ highly detailed vehicles, spread over 11 tiers and 11 nations, feels special.

RESEARCH AND CUSTOMIZATION

Begin with classic tanks and progress toward mighty high-tier machines. Adjust their performance to better suit your unique playstyle with crew perks, equipment, and Field Modification. Top that off with visual customization: showcase each vehicle's unique flair with custom paints, styles, and a wealth of other options.

MODERN GRAPHICS AND SOUND

World of Tanks has received multiple and extensive upgrades to its graphics and physics since its launch in 2010. The maps feature unique landmarks and plenty of destructible objects. Vehicles get wet when in water, and they receive shell breaches from enemy rounds that penetrate, as well as pockmarks from rounds that bounce off. Guns and shell explosions have authentic, caliber-dependent sounds, and the acoustic environment is very rich, adding to immersion.

PLENTY OF MODES: PVP AND MORE

The basic mode is 15v15 Random Battles. Prominent regular modes include Onslaught (7v7 with extra special abilities), Frontline (30v30 on colossal maps with lots of tactical options such as airstrikes), and Steel Hunter (battle royale on mode-specific vehicles with field upgrades). On top of that, there are themed PvE and PvP events with unique rewards, clan-only Global Map and clan-based Strongholds, and more!

BEGINNER-FRIENDLY

World of Tanks is hard to master but easy to learn and enjoyable from the get-go. As a rookie, learn the basics from the Bootcamp scenarios, face easier opponents in lower-tier battles, and complete the Tank Academy missions for appealing rewards. A seasoned tanker friend can get you into the Referral Program, bagging great benefits for both of you.

The concept of this game is very unique and good but the pay to win ♥♥♥♥ this game has because of wargambling is insane... It used to be a game where a tank was just a normal tank without special abilities like double barreled tanks, rocket boosts and even shooting rockets. I would recommend wargambling to make a seperate gamemode with tanks that are (somewhat) real, without any stupid abilities to be used and without double barreled or polish td mechanics, just normal tanks. This way people get to choose if they want to play a real tank game or a fake tank game. Also it would be nice for wargambling to make tanks where you have to pay for worse or just as good as tech tree tanks...

Man, it's been years but I can say that I'm glad to be back and playing World of Tanks again*. To put that * simply, this game is really fun! It truly is a great way to enjoy tanks and a good 15-30 minutes if you don't have a ton of time to play other games...up to tier IV (4). Past that? I mean, 16+ years of players means you'll encounter the most advanced players more than not and you won't stand much of a chance in most cases. Plus, unfortunately, the best way to enjoy the game is with the chat function turned firmly off, which means it'll be harder to win as you can only communicate with Q. Most human players won't have your best hopes in their minds and tend to use you as bait so they can secure kills (which is OK now as kills are only important for medals at this point. It's damage/assist/blocking that's mostly important for credits/xp) but if you manage to find a few friends in Tier I-IV (1-4) who don't mind the lower tier vehicles and fighting with/against AI you can have a lot of fun. More recently, I've taken to using the Type 95 Japanese Heavy Tank, an old collector vehicle renowned for being the worst vehicle in all of WoT history and I've been enjoying the heck out …
