Most armoured fighting vehicles are not very spacious: chances are that something, or someone will get hit.

A number of the early German SPGs are actually uncasemated assault guns intended to provide support for advancing tanks against infantry and fortifications.USA vs Germany) was also removed due to serious balance problems. Likewise the "confrontation" mode (each team was comprised of just one nation's tanks e.g. note The game did offer a "historical" mode with allied vs axis battles but they failed to catch on due to balancing issues. Because the game's matchmaker does not consider the tanks' nationalities as it forms teams, you can see German tanks fighting alongside American tanks against British and Chinese tanks, along with other unlikely combinations.This is especially apparent with tanks that mount guns as long as the tank itself in forward hull positions. Some tanks have rather outlandish equipment available for use for example, the KV-1 can mount the fictional 57mm "project 413" gun, which is virtually identical to the historical ZiS-4 available to other Russian tanks.The sole exception is the Lanchester Armoured Car, which was implemented and made playable specifically for a "100 Years of the Tank" commemorative special event in September of 2016. There are no actively participating infantry, aircraft, anti-tank guns or other vehicles (halftracks, armored cars, and so on) in the game.In 2020, World of Tanks partnered with Tabletop Games publisher Gale Force Nine to release the World of Tanks Miniatures Game, a tabletop model wargame based on the ruleset of Tanks (it self, a small-scale tank skirmish focused game spun off from Flames of War) with World of Tanks themed changes to gameplay, and with 20 vehicle models released in its first year of sale. There also are spinoffs World of Warplanes and World of Warships which is the same idea, but with warplanes and warships instead. A card-based MMORTS Spinoff, World of Tanks Generals, was announced by. Tanks are further split into three more categories: light tanks with amazing speed, medium tanks balancing speed, firepower and armour, and heavy tanks focusing on heavy armour and massive firepower.Ī mobile version, World of Tanks Blitz, was released in May 2014, for iOS and Android. Tanks are the mainstay of each force, with tank destroyers serving sniping and ambush purposes while Self Propelled Guns (SPG) provide artillery support. Vehicles are spread across three categories: tanks, tank destroyers and self-propelled guns. The range of tanks available stretches from the 1920s (with a single tank from 1917 note The Renault FT, the first tank available in the French line, and its many derivatives) to the 1960s and 1970s note The later Swedish Tank Destroyers are 70's models. Despite that, the controls are relatively simple, and it is most definitely not even anywhere close to being a hardcore sim. All the vehicles featured have been extensively researched and their in-game characteristics are based on their real-world counterparts. note The vehicles that did see service often have upgrades available to them that were never adopted in real life, in some cases because they simply couldn't make it fit.

The tech trees themselves consist of a mixture of vehicles that saw service in their respective armies and vehicles that only made it to the prototype stage or never made it off paper. You start the game with very basic tank designs barely worthy of the name and proceed to work your way up the tech trees. well, what do you think?! It features hundreds of Soviet, German, American, French, British, Japanese, Chinese, Czecho slovakian and Swedish tanks.Įssentially, this game is Tank Goodness incarnate.

World of Tanks is a MMO Vehicular Combat game based around.
