About
In World of Tanks random battles, two teams of 15 meet on one map. You win by wiping out the other side or capturing their base. The game launched in 2011 and now has hundreds of tanks from different nations across five classes: light, medium and heavy tanks, tank destroyers and SPGs. Armor is modeled properly, so angle and position count for as much as caliber.
Progress runs along tech trees, and since update 2.0 in September 2025 the top rung is Tier XI. Your line decides months of play, so we ran the numbers on which tank to grind. High tiers often lose credits per battle, which means you’ll want tanks for farming credits sooner or later.
Don’t confuse it with Mir Tankov from Lesta: that’s now a separate game with different lines, and its guides won’t apply here. World of Tanks is free through the Wargaming client and on Steam. It takes 120 GB of disk space, and only GTA 5 needs more.
