What kind of experience is it?
An alternate-history vehicle shooter where Agents bring special abilities to team battles. Match your tank and equipment to your role, then fight for the objective.
- Agent abilities
- Vehicle customisation
- Team objectives
Try this in your first session
Compare more than the gun when choosing a vehicle. Think about when your Agent's ability will help and how the team will reach its objective. Use available introductory modes to learn movement and sightlines. Check current access and the client on HEAT's own official site.
Try the tutorial and practise the controls before entering competitive matches. Focus on one role or vehicle while learning the maps.
Agent abilities make your team role as interesting as your armour. Consider it if you want a different take on tank combat through character powers. Start by learning one Agent and vehicle combination.
How to decide if it suits you
Treat this as a separate game from World of Tanks. Do not assume existing tanks or progression transfer automatically. If Agent abilities appeal, watch gameplay for how they affect team roles rather than judging by the shared name.
Compare alternatives before choosing
A similar theme does not mean identical play. Compare the options below by pace, controls and progression. If you cannot decide, watch an introductory video for each. The activity you want to repeat is a more useful guide than the artwork alone.
World of Tanks
Command an armoured vehicle, read the terrain and work with your team. Armour, positioning and your choice of tank turn each encounter into a tactical puzzle.
World of Tanks: cover and escape routes ↗
War Thunder
Join battles with tanks, aircraft and warships. Vehicle choice, armour knowledge and a well-timed manoeuvre can change the story of every encounter.

Does the game support this guide's language?
The guide's language and the product's supported languages are separate. Check interface, subtitles and audio on the official store or publisher page. Also confirm server and edition compatibility with friends; changing this site's language does not change your game account's region.
Do I need Opera GX to play this game?
No. Opera GX is an optional browser; PC games use their own separate clients. You may choose it for tab organisation and browser CPU/RAM controls, but it does not guarantee a particular FPS increase. Its free browser VPN does not cover all device traffic or a separate game client.
