What is World of Tanks?

A free-to-play multiplayer action game centered on armored combat across destructible battlefields. In the core 15-on-15 mode, you drive one of five vehicle classes, take positions, ambush opponents, and target weak points; other modes include 7-on-7 battles, 30-on-30 large-map battles, and battle royale. Research unlocks higher-tier vehicles, while crews, equipment, and modifications adjust performance.

+you like coordinating in team-based online matches
+you want several PvP modes at different team scales

Not for you if...

−you prefer solo campaigns over online PvP matches
−you want realistic simulation rather than arcade tank combat
