What is 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.
Our take: who is it for?
A hillside or a careful angle can matter as much as your tank choice. The satisfying part is learning to read terrain. Try it if armoured vehicles interest you and you enjoy improving through map knowledge.
