Who needs a human avatar when you can just roll around in a tank all day? That's the idea behind World of Tanks, a new MMO wargame simulation that's putting players behind the pedals of over 130 tanks in World War II.
The game appears to be another hybrid title, meshing a tank simulation with an RPG, as you can upgrade and modify your tanks to your heart's desire. Up to 60 players can roll across an instance at once, and the game will feature a territory control system that sounds like Global Agenda's conquest mode.
Free to play, level your character to gain access to more tanks. Paid premium account will unlock some tanks, but not the best ones(those are reserved for players who actually play the game).

There's also artillery (one of the gameplay videos shows a player seeing the field from a google earth perspective, I think that's the artillery shooting mode)
I've already maxed out my Leichttraktor and am working my way towards buying an Artillery and Pzpkfw . Each battle rewards around 1k credits, and these tanks are about 13k and 18k cost.
OK here's a tip - after your tank is destroyed, press Esc and exit battle. You return to your Garage , the tank you just used will be "In Battle" , when the battle finishes you will gain your exp and credits. So don't sit around blindly waiting for the battle to end.
THAT is the reason why you buy multiple tanks - so that when you have 2-3 tanks in battle you can still play with the others. I have a maxed out Leichttraktor , and a Pkpzfw II with all upgrades except the next level tanks (and that 21k radio upgrade ... )
For light tanks you should upgrade tracks first, it gives you extra load space. Then you upgrade the engine (some tanks, the max engine makes the tank overweight unless you have tracks upgrade) . I normally upgrade the gun last since you usually rely on the artillery to kill tanks, a light tank is just a spotter.
Don't be scared of going up against an arty close range, as long as you can flank it you will kill it.
mine to explain about those ammo ?quite confusing.. and those guns too
lemme see if i can help.
The normal ammo is the AP(Armor piercing) , then there's the premium ones (bought with gold) which hit harder, and then there's the HE ones. HE ammo does not penetrate, it scatters, usually if you can't break a tank's armor with the premium ammo you use the HE ones. They also contribute to a lot of other effects like radio and engine damage. But I just use the normal ammo and i'm fine.
For guns, you generally want to pick those with a high rate of fire.
on which tank? The Luchs ... sien, that tank isn't upgraded at all. I put all my exp into the Leopard tree, now only grinding the money to buy a Leopard.
The BT-2 is way better than a BT-7 , so I think I will stick with it. Hang back, wait for the tanks to establish a presence, wait for half the field to die, then suddenly rush forward and take out 1-2 arty. Yeah, that's my style.
if you are starting fresh and want to get medium tank really fast, here's what you do -
get 2-3 small light tanks, keep on running them, upgrade until 1 option left. then chiong exp. Calculate how much exp you need to get to the tank you want.
Then max out your light tanks, convert any left over exp with gold and boost to the tank you want.
