Tips on how to play world of tanks. World of Tanks: tips for beginners. To win you need to have a strategy

My friend and part-time experienced player helped me a lot in writing this article. WoT- Alexander Slashchev (BestUFOdriver). We also want to warn you that all the advice presented below is purely advisory in nature. Each player can choose for himself the game tactics that seem most correct or convenient to him.

Light tanks

The main feature of this class of combat vehicles is high maneuverability and speed. These tanks do not have high armor and good weapon, but their small size allows them to easily camouflage or evade enemy projectiles. When playing with machines of this type, you need to remember the main rule: move, move and move again. A light tank standing in one place is a potential suicide bomber.

The main task of light tanks in the game is to detect enemy combat vehicles and constant “light” (reconnaissance) on the battlefield. It should be mentioned that there are two types of light: passive and active. This gradation was necessary because different tanks have different characteristics.

Active reconnaissance involves rapid turns across the entire map during battle. The more circles you make around the map, the more opponents you will discover, and the more significant your contribution to the positive outcome of the battle will be. Prominent representatives of this style of play are the T-50-2 tank (a light tank of the 5th level from the USSR faction) and the French tank of the 5th level ELC AMX.

Passive light is a silent, spy reconnaissance at a certain point on the map and the transfer of information about all enemy tanks passing by to the allies. Thus, the game tactics of such reconnaissance are completely different from the tactics of active light. Your first priority is to quickly occupy everyone vulnerabilities on the map and quietly wait there for enemies passing by. The longer you remain undetected, the more useful you will be. This style of play appeared because some light tanks do not have the necessary level of speed and maneuverability, but have good optics and radio communications. For example, german tank 6th level VK 2801 or American tank Level 5 M24 Chaffee.

The choice of skills for the crew will depend directly on what kind of reconnaissance the tank will conduct in battle (active or passive). For active machines, the first thing you should learn is “camouflage”, and then “repair”. These skills will reduce the likelihood of your opponents catching you by surprise. And only then can you experiment with different types of abilities. For example, take the “eagle eye” and “radio interception” for the commander, the “off-road king” for the driver (this will increase the speed and maneuverability of the tank), and the loader - “non-contact ammunition rack.”

Fans of passive light tactics will have to train the crew according to a different scheme. The most important skill for you will be the “sixth sense” and “camouflage”. Then you can start learning the skills “eagle eye”, “radio interception”, “king of off-road”, “virtuoso” and “vindictive”.

As you probably already guessed, the installed equipment will also differ in playing styles. Active light tanks will need “coated optics”, “improved ventilation” and “springs”. But for passive tactics of the game, the “springs” will have to be replaced with a “stereo tube”, which, by the way, we recommend installing first.

Finally, we note that despite low performance armor and weapons, light tanks can quite easily cope with self-propelled guns and some types of tank destroyers, thanks to their speed and maneuverability. But do not forget that a good intelligence officer is a living intelligence officer. Therefore, in case of any mortal danger - RUN!

Medium tanks

A medium tank can be called a more armored, but less maneuverable light tank. However, this concept is too abstract, since medium tanks differ very much from each other not only in armor and speed, but also in firepower. Therefore, it is difficult to talk about the features of medium tanks in general.

If you decide to play as a medium tank, then your main task will be fire support for your allies. Tanks of this type do not have sufficient armor, so do not try to get ahead first or drive alone. At the very beginning of the battle, your goal is to occupy positions convenient for battle at all key points on the map (places near the main battle points where you can use the landscape to your advantage). If situations that are dangerous for you arise, try to go to the rear or hide behind more armored allies.

Because medium tank has a fairly high speed, but not strong enough armor, then the breakdown of certain main modules may become a critical moment for you. Therefore, we recommend that you upgrade the crew of your tank to “repair”. And in order to prevent breakdowns, the captain of your tank will need the “sixth sense” skill, which will help you hide from enemy radars in time. "Combat Brotherhood" will enhance the basic abilities of your tankers. Additionally, if crew members are shell-shocked, their special skills will continue to work.

Special equipment for medium tanks varies as much as their characteristics. But there are some patterns. If you are teaching your crew a lesson in “combat brotherhood”, then installing “improved ventilation” will be the most effective. If you play the role of a light tank in a team, then “coated optics” will come in handy, and if you play the role of fire support, then “reinforced aiming drives”, “rammer” or “stabilizer” vertical aiming" The selection of a set of equipment is carried out directly for each tank separately. There is no general system for medium tanks.

Heavy tanks

The main feature of heavy tanks is thick armor and a powerful weapon with a high penetration rate. This makes your tank a serious opponent for any enemy. However, these advantages also come with disadvantages: low speed of movement and maneuverability.

During the battle, you perform one of the most important tasks: distract the enemy’s fire as much as possible, while friendly tanks, hiding behind your mighty “back,” deliver well-aimed blows to the enemy’s military equipment. In addition, a powerful weapon allows you to cope with 2-3 medium tanks alone.

Don't be afraid to be left behind and be one of the last to leave the base. Your first priority is protection. By staying behind, you can easily track the position of your allies and head to the places where your support is most needed.

When teaching the crew skills, first of all upgrade the “repairs”. During the battle, you will stand in the rain of enemy shells, which will continually disable your combat modules. A nice addition will be the “sixth sense”, which will save you from unexpected attacks and allow you to take the correct position, covering weak points (sides and stern). The skills “smooth turn of the tower”, “king of off-road” and “virtuoso” will come in handy.

Additional equipment in heavy tanks is selected in such a way as to eliminate the shortcomings of the vehicle and emphasize the main characteristics of the crew. Thus, we install “improved ventilation” for the crew, and choose the remaining two additions personally for the tank. This could be a “rammer”, “reinforced aiming drives”, or a “vertical aiming stabilizer”.

Tank destroyer

The main feature of anti-tank self-propelled artillery units is a very powerful weapon for destroying enemy equipment at long and medium distances, as well as powerful frontal armor capable of withstanding powerful enemy attacks. However, the absence of a turret greatly limits the horizontal aiming angles, so in close combat the chances of victory are significantly reduced.

The primary task of a tank destroyer is to occupy cover far from the battlefield and provide constant fire support to the allies from a long distance. But you shouldn’t sit at one point. Constantly change your location, especially after successful shots. Important tip: try not to occupy standard or popular hiding spots. Experienced players always check these points and therefore can take you by surprise. The more unconventional the position you take, the less likely it is that you will be detected by enemy scouts.

Tank destroyers, like other types of tanks, have a huge number of differences from each other. Therefore, after leveling up the basic skills of the crew (“repair”, “sixth sense” and “camouflage”), you yourself will have to choose the skills necessary for this model.

All tanks of this class have their own special combat characteristics, various tactics and fighting styles. But one thing remains unchanged - all tank destroyers need a “rammer” to increase the gun’s reloading speed. And then select items personally to suit the features of your combat vehicle. Slow anti-tank self-propelled guns are suitable for passive reconnaissance equipment (“stereo tube” and “camouflage net”). But for faster combat units, “improved ventilation” and “reinforced aiming drives” will be just right.

self-propelled guns

Self-propelled artillery units are one of the most unusual classes in the game and have non-standard combat techniques. The main features of this type military equipment are: a very powerful weapon, capable of carrying out an attack across the entire map, causing significant damage to military equipment, and a unique artillery sight. In addition, these tanks have a high level of camouflage and average speed and maneuverability. But don’t forget about the disadvantages that make life very difficult for self-propelled guns: very weak armor and the lowest gun reload speed in the game.

Based on these features of the tank, its combat tactics and main tasks during the game are built. Choose the right and most convenient positions on the map, but don’t forget that all the favorite self-propelled gun points have long been known to everyone and are constantly checked. The position of your tank during shooting must be strictly horizontal. If the tank is standing on a slope while firing, the shells will have a changed flight path. Carefully follow the progress of the game on the minimap and think about every shot. Remember: your main task is powerful fire support for your allies and inflicting maximum damage on enemy vehicles. Don't let the enemy get close to you, because in close combat your chances of winning are endlessly approaching zero. In addition, the flight of your tank's projectile has a smoke path (tracer), which is visible to enemy self-propelled guns. After firing a shot, we advise you to change your position, as some skilled tankers can calculate your position using this trail.

Unlike other types of tanks, self-propelled guns have a crew leveling system common to all factions. Everything is quite simple here: first of all, “camouflage” and “sixth sense”, then “combat brotherhood” and only then all the other auxiliary skills.

Regarding the additionally installed equipment, everything is also clear: cover up the shortcomings and emphasize the advantages. The “camouflage net”, “rammer” and “reinforced aiming drives” will help you with this.

***

In the end, we would like to remind you that the outcome of the battle almost always depends on how well the team works and how well the battle tactics are chosen. You should not rely only on your own strength and the level of pumping of the tank. Be sociable, discuss actions with your team and this will significantly increase your chances of winning.

And they realized that they didn’t understand anything. Despite the fact that Wargaming has tried to make the layout and interface of its game as intuitive as possible, it is often still quite difficult for a beginner to understand the essence of “tanks”. We will tell you about the very basic principles of World of Tanks that will help you navigate tank battles.

The first thing you need to decide is whether you will spend money on the game. If you don’t plan to invest your hard-earned money, then it’s better to choose only one nation and download it and only that. Subjectively, soviet tanks are best suited for head-on collisions, and the USA, for example, has the largest amount of very good equipment. It’s better to leave premium tanks, which are given at the very beginning of the game, in the hangar - you can use them to earn extra silver, upgrade your crew, and just train.

By the way, premium tanks are tanks that in most cases can only be bought for gold or obtained in clan battles. The latter are definitely worth a try if you want to get really deep into the game. Also, do not forget to follow the official World of Tanks website - news about various promotions, discounts, and so on often appears there.

It's important to remember that every time you convert something (no matter what), you lose a significant portion of what you convert. You can convert, for example, experience points from “gold” and elite tanks- if you have money to spend, then this will save you a lot of time. But it is better not to distill gold into silver - this is extremely ineffective.

Don't forget to buy consumables and keep an eye out for discounts - you can often buy ammunition and other consumables at a 50% discount. You can try buying them in this order: first aid kit, repair kit, fire extinguisher. If you have a slow tank, then it is better to replace the fire extinguisher with an acceleration one. This way you can get used to the car much faster.

At initial levels get new tank not very difficult, however, the further you move, the more experience and silver you will need. With silver everything is more complicated than with experience. Follow the forums, find out what tanks people use to farm money. For Tier 8 tanks, for example, the Super Pershing would be an excellent option; for Tier 5 tanks, the Churchill III would be an excellent option. The latter, by the way, is very cheap, and is often really fun to play.

An important point about “golden” tanks: you get more money from them and upgrade your crew faster. Also, do not forget that it is better not to use crew from one type of tank on another: this way they gain less experience and, in general, are less effective.

NEVER use right button mouse to focus on the target. This is a useless and stupid feature, and it will prevent you from shooting at certain parts of the tanks - which is how the shots are most effective. Focusing on the target will only be useful if you are playing in a light vehicle, circling around a slow tank and need to put all your energy into maneuvering.

Remember that you shouldn't shoot and climb up some hill at the same time - you will most likely be quickly destroyed. If the enemy has artillery, you killed an enemy player and are standing next to him, then you are most likely dead. In such cases, it is best to first move forward, after a second turn around 30-45 degrees and move on for another couple of seconds. If you yourself are playing as an art and suddenly they notice you and start shooting at you, then crawl away as quickly as possible. At the same time, try to ensure that the front part of your tank is directed towards the attacker.

Know exactly your role in battle. A light tank most often plays the role of a scout - find as many enemy tanks as possible (especially artillery and other scouts) and try to destroy them. Try to stay in cover, as you have less health than a medium tank and almost no armor. At the same time, playing as a heavy tank does not necessarily imply open combat. The medium tank is the most versatile tank. If you play as art, then try to destroy heavy tanks first. You can forget about your role in the team only if this very team is full of noobs.

Try to thoroughly study each card. It is best to attack from high points, especially if there is cover. But remember that a good enemy gunner will most likely shoot at these points at random. In general, remember: if you are open and have no allies nearby, or if you are rushing ahead of everyone, then you are in great danger.

As for upgrading tanks, always try to upgrade the guns first, since the probability of penetration is a very important thing. Try to calculate whether your tank can carry a new gun. It is advisable for scouts and artillery to immediately download the radar, which will transmit information about the location of the enemy more accurately. Scouts also need to upgrade the engine (for acceleration), tracks (for turns) and turrets (you will be able to detect the enemy faster and see them over long distances). And one more thing: it is very wasteful to use premium consumables in a regular battle - save the money for clan battles and, if possible, tournaments.

The most necessary modifications

Modifications can greatly simplify your life in tank battles. They make various elements of World of Tanks much more convenient and practical. Below is a list of the five most necessary mods that it is advisable to install immediately. All mods are easily searchable via Google.

1. Zoom in sniper mode

This mod increases the multiplicity of aiming - thanks to it, the aiming process is greatly simplified, getting into the weak spot of an enemy tank becomes much easier. It is worth considering that at maximum approach the projectile takes longer to reach the tank.

2. Commander's camera

The modification removes the restriction on camera distance. In many situations this is really useful - you can, for example, look around some distant corner or simply look around the entire map. The mod is also convenient for finding artillery.

3. Damage panel

On the right you will see a list of damage dealt to you. You can get information about the enemy's nickname, the amount of damage received, the type of projectile and the class of the tank. The mod will be useful for players who do not want to change the standard damage panel, but who, however, need damage logs.

4. Improved mini-map

The names of tanks - both enemy and friendly - will appear on your mini-map. The map will display the viewing circle of your car and a number of other pleasant and useful notes. In general, the mod eliminates the need to constantly look around in search of enemy tanks.

5. Horizontal angles

The mod allows you to receive visual information about horizontal aiming angles. You will no longer need to look at the damage panel to locate your scope's dead zone. The modification will be especially useful for those who play as artillery or PT.

And remember: no matter how much money you invest in the game and no matter how cool a tank you buy, if you don’t have the dexterity and skill, you can consider that you spent your money in vain. Practice makes perfect, as they say.

Dear tankers who recently started playing! Almost each of you, taking your first steps in World of Tanks, makes almost the same classic mistakes that affect both your future game statistics for others, and on your personal opinion about the game as a whole. Based on them and the most frequently asked questions by you, I am writing this very short and accessible guide to the most favorite rake of young tankers in random battles.

In World of Tanks, tank types are divided into two categories - the tanks themselves (heavy TT tanks, medium ST tanks and light LT tanks) and auxiliary vehicles, namely self-propelled guns (artillery) and tank destroyers.

Heavy tanks. This technique is designed to attack and push through enemy defenses. Such tanks boast good protection and powerful guns that can penetrate almost any enemy armor. You need to play them carefully, because in World of Tanks are heavy tanks are the main offensive power of the team. The death of any of them is a tangible loss for the team.

Medium tanks. In World of Tanks given the type of tank was introduced to attack the enemy from unexpected directions. These are dynamic, fast and rapid-fire tanks that are small in size and ideal for breaking through flanks defended by only a few enemies. Medium tanks can decide the outcome of the battle - return to their base and destroy the invaders, capture the enemy base, destroy artillery or bring turmoil to the enemy camp. In World of Tanks, medium tanks are the most dangerous class of equipment for enemy tank destroyers, since, thanks to their dynamics and firepower, they can easily come from behind or from the side and first block a tank destroyer and then destroy it with impunity.

Light tanks They cannot boast of either strong armor or powerful weapons. Their main advantage is speed and maneuverability, thanks to which they can conduct reconnaissance on the battlefield and detect the enemy extremely effectively. This gives allies information about the enemy's disposition of forces and also allows friendly self-propelled guns and tank destroyers to conduct targeted fire from a safe distance. Experienced player light tank throughout the entire battle it can insidiously reveal the enemy’s combat positions. And, having seen a broken flank, a light tank can quickly get to the enemy’s rear and destroy artillery, which is a key task in a light tank battle. In addition, many players lose sight of the fact that highlighting the enemy is a very good way to earn money and upgrade your crew and equipment: if you transmit information about the enemy to your allies, you receive 50% of experience and credits for the damage done to him.

We have sorted out the types of tanks inWorld of Tanks. Now is the time to move on to the descriptionSelf-propelled guns and tank destroyers. These are very interesting classes, and playing them is radically different from any type of vehicle.

Anti-tank self-propelled artillery unit. In the game World of Tanks, almost all tank destroyers are so-called “shooting bushes”. By default, they have a high camouflage coefficient, which allows you to fire at the enemy unnoticed.

Almost all American anti-tank self-propelled units have good armor, Soviet - powerful guns, German - both, but their camouflage characteristics are slightly underestimated. French tank destroyers have good guns and are equipped with powerful engines that allow them to quickly move from one place to another. British tank destroyers They have excellent armor and a good gun, but are large in size and cannot boast of high mobility.

Artillery. This type of technique is capable of inflicting the greatest one-time damage to the enemy. Playing artillery is quite difficult, but in capable hands You can really ruin your opponent’s tank life. It must be remembered that this technique has very weak armor (virtually none), low mobility and extremely high reloading and gun aiming times. Any tank that gets close to the artillery can easily destroy it. The self-propelled gun has its own special sight and can destroy the enemy at long distances.

IMPORTANT! Remember that artillery is the main combat power of the team, take care of it and don’t let a firefly accidentally visiting the base destroy it.

Beginner players We advise you to first start getting acquainted with military equipment with heavy tanks, since they are sufficiently armored, have good weapons and are the easiest to play. After you have played several hundred battles on different maps, master them, remember the main directions of attack, as well as defense - you can move on to playing on other types of tanks. Just like playing tank destroyers, medium and light tanks requires more experience, knowledge of maps, and the strengths and weaknesses of different vehicles.

Depending on the type of equipment used, we select the necessary tactics:

- playing on heavy tanks, select the main directions of attack. On open maps like Malinovka, it is best to choose camouflaged positions (bushes, trees, vegetation, folds of terrain). On city maps, it is best to choose positions in houses. Under no circumstances are we the first to go to an open area of ​​the map. We try to stay in a group of allies.

- playing tank destroyer, it is worth taking camouflaged positions (bushes, broken trees), sticking to the second line of attack or defense. Under no circumstances should you go ahead of everyone on the attack; it is more effective to be at a distance of 300-500 meters from your opponent. This will allow you to deal damage to your opponent without being exposed. Most optimal positions are elevated to increase visibility and fire.

- playing on medium and light tanks, we choose an open area, since the use of other types of equipment is less effective there. The task of light tanks is to reveal enemy positions, which makes it possible to inflict damage on allies. For medium tanks, the main task is to break through the enemy’s weakest flank. Thanks to the high mobility of this technique, the player can quickly change the direction of attack from one flank to another.

- playing artillery, we occupy firing positions in the depths of the defense, at the farthest lines. We try to support our allies with fire, both in attack and defense. The main task of artillery is to destroy enemy tank destroyers and heavily armored vehicles. When we detect an enemy artillery tank, we first destroy it.

Tips for the most common beginner mistakes:

1. Do not face the enemy with the stern or sides, because these are the most unprotected places of the tanks. Always turn the tank body towards the direction of fire. It’s most convenient to re-warm the body between shots. While moving, it will be much more difficult to hit your opponent.

2. Try not to get ahead of the main allied forces. There may be an enemy ambush ahead. It is better for beginner players to stay behind more experienced players.

3. Finish off enemies at the first opportunity, try to finish off the enemy tank. Focus fire on one enemy tank. When choosing from several targets, choose the one that you can destroy in one or two shots. In the first half of the battle, it is very important to achieve a numerical advantage.

4. The ammunition load of any tank must include several high-explosive fragmentation shells. They will come in handy when you need to stop the capture of your base. Armor-piercing and cumulative shells can ricochet off an opponent, and this type of shell, although it will cause little damage, will break the capture and give time for slower allies to reach the defense of the base.

5. Work as a team, do not support your allies and do not interfere with moving around the map. Never be idle and remember, if you are idling somewhere, then your team is outnumbered by one tank. Don't stop each other from shooting.

6. Learn to work with the minimap, always keep an eye on it. This will give you a tactical advantage and assessment of actions. It will help you determine where and what forces the enemy is, the place where allies need help, and where you can make a breakthrough.

7. Try to realize the advantage of fast tanks in battle. They are ideal for attacking the flank of enemy forces. This will constantly distract the enemy's attention and give an advantage to the allies.

8. The key to victory is endurance. Don't rush when shooting, wait full information, even if the opponent is not that far away. Even in close combat, you shouldn’t rush to send shells at the enemy without taking aim: even thin armor can cause ricochets.

9. Always remember that not only the one who discovered you and lit himself up, but also those for whom he “shines” you can shoot at you.

10. Know and remember the capabilities of your tank. These include such simple things as speed, maneuverability, acceleration, armor, gun accuracy, aiming time, and the rest. This is the basis of the basics, without it your behavior in a difficult situation turns into Russian roulette.

I hope ours tactical tips in World of Tank will help you quickly get used to the game and make a significant contribution to the victory of your team.

Basics

Don't knock down trees! This gives away your position, even if you are invisible to the enemy.

Use terrain elements!“Fire from behind cover” and “Shot and hide.” Find an indestructible cover, such as a building, a rock, a hill, or the wreck of a destroyed tank. Drive out to shoot, then duck back to reload. This way you can deal damage and reload safely.

Use the uneven terrain! Fire from the reverse slopes, from behind the crests of the hills. In this case, the tank's hull is hidden from the enemy by the ridge and only the turret is visible. Rise up to shoot and step back to reload. If you rise obliquely, the tower will move to the side in the enemy's sights - it will be more difficult for him to hit.

Remember! The projectile flies in an arc. If you take cover behind the reverse slope of a very gentle uneven surface, you run the risk of getting hit in the turret by a projectile that has gone around the uneven surface. Use this feature yourself: if, due to a long and gentle irregularity, the enemy is visible even a pixel, point and shoot at him - the projectile will go around the irregularity in an arc and, quite likely, will hit the roof of the enemy car.

Don't expose yourself to multiple guns! This rule covers a lot of ground, from using cover to pick off enemies one at a time to avoiding obvious bottlenecks on the map.

Tanks crossing the ridge are very vulnerable! They expose the lower armor plates without the ability to return fire. Knocking down tracks is the most dangerous tanks enemy, when they are on the crest of a hill, will allow your allies to shoot them without damage and will not allow them to retreat.

Shooting from the edge of a high cliff can be dangerous by exposing the lower armor plates of your tank, but can give good results by shooting at weakly protected enemy roofs.

Attack the enemy, especially the slow ones, from the flank or rear! Tanks, as a rule, have a well-protected bow, worse sides and the weakest stern. A fast medium tank can defeat a heavy one by simply walking around it and shooting at it. weak points, while simultaneously moving away from its slowly rotating turret. This is especially effective in one-on-one duels in open areas without cover.

One on one, don’t expose the side and don’t let him come in from the flank! When faced with an enemy who is trying to get around you, turn your body with your forehead towards the enemy. This will force him to make a wider turn, exposing vulnerable spots when he himself has to shoot at your thick frontal armor.

Don't let yourself be flanked - several opponents / threat from the front (more common option)! When several opponents intend to flank you, or one is almost on board, and another is firing from the front, simply move back, exposing your forehead to the most serious enemy (this can be either one coming from the flank or shooting from the front). This will delay the enemy's outflanking from the rear, allowing for some time to receive shells into thicker armor. Remember to concentrate your fire on one target until he or you die.

By knocking down the enemy's tracks, you make him motionless! Damage to the tracks stops the tank until the crew repairs them. You can knock down a caterpillar by ramming it (depending on the speed and mass of the opponents) or by firing at the tracks. “Always deprive dangerous enemies of their tracks in open areas where they are exposed to artillery. If your comrades are crowded behind you in a narrow passage (for example, on a city map) and the enemy jumps out in front of you from around the corner... shoot down his caterpillar! Each tank behind you can fire a shot, knock down the track again and together finish off the enemy, preventing him from driving behind cover.”

The battering ram is the weapon of heroes! But ramming a heavier enemy is often not heroism, but stupidity, if it is not done wisely. In order to immobilize a strong enemy, hit his guide and drive wheels with your frontal armor. With a regular blow to the side, you will not only immobilize the enemy tank, but you will also lose the tracks. Yes, this is a difficult technique - learn, practice.

A frontal attack by anti-tank missiles can mean certain death thanks to their sloped armor and powerful front-mounted cannon. But their weak side and rear armor and inability to fire in all directions except forward makes them extremely vulnerable if their tracks are down.

In a group, your chances of survival increase. Barring special circumstances, supporting each other in a group is preferable to heroism and risk. When you're together, you deal more damage and spread the damage between you, attacking and defending more effectively. This can also mean waiting in place with everyone else, even if you don't agree with this tactic - a coordinated bad plan has a better chance of success than an uncoordinated good plan. This does not mean that the whole team should be huddled together. When the bulk of the team goes in one direction, the rest open up, giving a coordinated opponent an easy victory.

Destroy one at a time. Concentrating fire on one enemy until he is destroyed is better than spontaneously shooting at several targets, since in the first case the tank is quickly taken out of the game along with the damage it could cause.

Set your priorities. Remember who you are. Are you a heavy tank, a medium tank, a self-propelled gun? For example, as a heavy tank, you shouldn't waste time chasing a "light frag" when there is a more significant threat, such as an enemy tank behind cover, waiting to ride out and shoot. Likewise, when playing CT, don't waste time on targets you can't hit, look for someone easier to help your heavies. The exception is when a “light frag” hits your enemy artillery position or an enemy tank captures your base - in both cases, this tank becomes the main threat and number one target.

Use your more armored comrades as cover from enemy fire, especially helping allied heavy tanks against enemy heavy tanks. By staying alive, you can continue to cause damage to the enemy and help your team. Think through their intentions and do not block their path to retreat to cover.

Shoot ahead at fast-moving targets! The projectile does not hit the target immediately after being fired; it remains in flight for some time. During this time, the target can change its location. This means that you must aim at a certain distance in front of the target, depending on the speed, direction of the target and the distance to it. When the target moves frontally, it is done range lead, when flanking (to the side) - angular lead. If everything is calculated correctly, the projectile will be in in the right place just when the enemy sets himself up for her.

A quick dash from cover to cover will minimize your chances of being discovered and destroyed! When moving from cover to cover, especially between two buildings, take into account the acceleration. The higher the speed you develop by the time you leave for open terrain, the faster you will get through it and the shorter the period you will be open to enemy fire. If the situation allows, you can move back a little before the jerk to give yourself more distance to accelerate.

Don't be afraid to run away! If the team's plan fails or the odds are slim, instead of a suicidal rush, they should retreat, regroup and change strategy.

Place your armor at an angle to reduce the angle at which the projectile hits your armor! Turning your tank further (by 20-30 degrees) relative to the enemy will reduce the angle at which the projectile hits the armor and increase the chances of non-penetration or ricochet. But don’t lose sight of it, this way you can substitute the side of opponents far to your right or left, so it is preferable to use this maneuver in confined space and one-on-one fights.

Continue to coordinate your attack as events unfold! In the example above, while two enemy heavy tank distracted, medium tanks bypass them. Break into groups and work together to defeat your opponent with a coordinated strike. Use cover, camouflage, terrain and tank features to your advantage.

Always change direction! It is much more difficult to hit a maneuvering enemy.

Stay close to cover when driving around it to expose yourself to as few enemies as possible. In places where tanks line up different sides from the crest of the hill, an open exit means imminent death. Knowing who is there waiting for you is a key factor in deciding whether to move through an obstacle or stop and hold your position. If you are not able to help knock out the enemy by driving over the ridge, try changing tactics and going in a different direction. When your comrades prevent the enemy from going around the ridge, you can use this opportunity to flank the enemy.

Beware of enemy luring tricks and learn to use them to your advantage! You may take more enemy projectiles than you expected when leaving cover or moving towards a narrow passage in pursuit of an easy kill. Learn to recognize obvious bait, take into account the enemy’s behavior and his potential sniper positions on the map.

Don't be predictable, it's easy to resist! Use all kinds of tips on tactics for the game from different sources.

Advanced tactics

Try using a roll shot to hit a low target when reaching the ridge. The tank rolls forward and backward when it starts and stops moving. Tanks with small vertical guidance angles are weak in battle on hills. Accelerate to a decent speed, and then, when your tower appears over the hill and sees the enemy, brake. The tank will tilt forward and the sight will go down, increasing the declination angle of the gun, making it possible to fire a shot at an angle unforeseen by the characteristics of your tank. Keep in mind that you will have a very short window of time to get the shot and the accuracy will be poor, but those few extra degrees of declination will give you the opportunity to land a hit. If your enemy isn't aiming at you, try rocking the tank back and forth (by pressing W and S alternately) to see if you can destroy the enemy. This technique is very important in dynamic combat.

Reverse diamond

This maneuver works better on tanks with a rear turret (like the FV215b (183), Soviet medium tanks of the alternative branch, and other vehicles). It is advisable that the tank have strong tower without vulnerable points, such as commander's turrets, and medium-thick sides. The essence is shown in the picture: the enemy is exposed only to the side at a ricochet angle, and the caterpillar. If the caliber of an enemy projectile is not three times greater than the thickness of such armor, then there will be a ricochet. In this way, you can inflict damage on the enemy in exchange for ricochets and a downed caterpillar.
