Good afternoon, dear tankers. Today I will talk about one of the most popular online games today – WOT. Best review I will conduct tanks in World of Tanks as follows:

1. Let's look at the main game points.
2. Let's disassemble some of the tanks and sort them by purpose.

So - into battle!

Gameplay component

First of all I'll do it brief overview World of Tanks games for beginner tankers. If you are an advanced user, I advise you to immediately skip to the next part of the article.

World of Tanks is an MMO dedicated to armored vehicles of the mid-twentieth century. Here you have leveling up, dynamic battles 15 vs 15 and 30 vs 30, and large selection tanks different classes and nations. The game features 5 types of equipment:

• Heavy tanks (TT)
• Medium tanks (MT).
• Light tanks (LT).
• Tank destroyer (tank destroyer).
• Self-propelled guns (Arta).

Playing each vehicle class has its own characteristics and style. If you decide to shoot through the robin on art, and stand in the bushes on heavy, then most likely you will not be able to play normally, and your allies will be to blame for regular defeats.

There are 11 nations in the game, each of which has its own unique cars. You can play on tanks:

• Germany.
• Italy.
• USSR.
• France.
• Great Britain.
• Japan.
• China.
• Czech Republic.
• Sweden.

But pumping is a rather complicated matter. To get to maximum level, you will have to spend more than a dozen hours. Therefore, it is important to know which branch of tanks you need to start the game with.

Pay attention! From time to time Wargaming launches a “sandbox”, that’s what they call it test server, where you can try out any technique available in the game. These servers open before the release of a new patch and work for several days. You can find out about the opening of a new sandbox on the official website of the developers.

Well, we chose a tank, clicked “battle” and found ourselves on an unknown map, and what next? And then we learn to play. From the very beginning, most likely, nothing will come of it, since you need to know the zones where tanks can penetrate, how to tank correctly, places of clearance and convenient positions on maps. But all this will come with time.

The entire interface is intuitive and does not require additional explanation. If you have any questions, go to the game settings, there is a detailed explanation above each function.

Having outlined the basics, I end my review of the game tanks and begin a review of tanks in World of Tanks.

Choosing your play style

Let's move on to choosing your car. I offer several selections of equipment that will suit your desires. Here we will list tank models that are optimally suited for their tasks.

How to earn a lot of silver

Farming is the basis of the game. If you simply don’t have enough credits, then you won’t be able to move forward, because the higher the level, the harder it is to earn them, and new cars are not very cheap.

In such cases, you can use premium tanks. You can have fun with them and earn extra money. But what to do if you don’t have gold for premium equipment, and you really don’t want to donate 1,500 rubles for a pixel model? In such cases, I can offer you small selection pumped equipment for farming.

Tier 5 vehicles are best suited for earning money, since there is no large expense on shells and repairs of equipment - so you will remain in the black even if you are defeated.

Review of the best World of Tanks tanks for farming:

• T67. Small, cardboard level 5 PT on the US branch. Over many years of playing, this tank has become my favorite. A small model, fast reload time (CR), high dynamics and good camouflage make the T67 the best tank of its level. By playing wisely at a distance, you will be able to inflict 2k damage per battle, despite the fact that the most heavy tanks this level is no more than 500HP.

But the T67 has several disadvantages: firstly, it is dependent on the skill. If you fail to properly keep your distance and rush into the thick of things, then there will be no farming. Secondly, there is dependence on the crew and equipment. To get the maximum effect from this PT, you need to install a rammer, camouflage net, spyglass or coated optics and upgrade your perks.

• KV-1. The armor is strong and our tanks are fast! The legendary tank of war and our game. Proper Use this car will bring a lot of fun, pleasure and credits. The KV-1 has two main weapons: a high explosive and a hole puncher. On the first, there is good damage to cardboard tanks, but if you get to level 7, then it will be difficult to do anything without gold. The hole puncher is a more versatile weapon, which is what I recommend for farming. With its help, you can play both in the top and in the stock of the list.

The only thing you need on this machine is to tank correctly. Hide the NLD and the front plate of the tank, then it will be very difficult to penetrate you. But you can kill any enemy without any problems.

• T-34. A rapid-fire gun and good dynamics are what, if used correctly, will help you win hundreds of battles. The cooldown of the gun is a little more than 1 second - this allows you to punch holes in the enemy without interruption, disabling his module one by one.

Good dynamics and fast rotation of the tower allows you to always be in the center of events. It is especially effective to make a platoon of three T-34s, which can dismantle any target in a second. If you coordinate your actions correctly, you are guaranteed regular victories.

For one victory on these tanks, depending on damage caused, you will receive 15-40k credits. We looked at the best tanks World of Tanks for farming in my opinion. What are your favorite machines for earning silver? Write your suggestions in the comments.

For the fan

Constantly earning credits and chasing statistics gets boring very quickly, so you need to be distracted and have fun from time to time. Tanks that are created specifically for fun help us with this:

• T-49. One of the most fun cars in the game. Maximum speed tank speed is 65 km/h, and the presence of a 152mm cannon makes the T-49 simply hated tank for most opponents. While some heavy tank is tanking in the direction, this car comes from behind, gives one shot for 700 damage and drives off calmly on CD. And if you play in a platoon, then fun is guaranteed.
• KV-2. Good old log thrower. Slow, clumsy, cardboard tank, but that’s not its advantage. Playing at level 6 and having a 152mm M-10 gun, the tank can simply destroy half of its opponents. The KV-2 is a one-shot machine. We calmly stand around the corner for 20 seconds, wait for reloading, then give out a bun for 700 damage and go back.

Despite the rather passive gameplay, killing enemies with one shot is quite fun.

• PZ.KPFW. I AUSF. C. To experience all the fun of playing on the PZ 1C, you don’t have to spend several days leveling up. It is enough to get the third level in the corresponding branch and unlock top-end equipment. Now you have a car with a top speed of 80 km/h. and a machine gun with 40 rounds. Flying around the map, the groove is literally capable of riddling any enemy. In addition to having fun, you can increase your statistics and earn some silver.

There are dozens more cars in the game for fun. I reviewed the tanks that are most popular among players. Haven't tried these cars yet? Play them and you will understand why they made it to this top.

The strongest armor in the game

This type of tank is suitable for those who like to be on the front line. There are quite a lot of vehicles in WOT with really strong armor, so I’ll just name the most armored models and let you choose which one to use. World of Tanks heavyweights:

• IS-7.
• IS-4.
• ST-1.
• T110E3.
• T110E5.
• Maus.
• E-75.
• VK 45.02 (P) AUSF. B.
• E100.
• JAGPANZER E100.
• TYPE 4 HAVY.
• TYPE 5 HAVY.

In addition to the listed tanks, there are other armored vehicles, but they have very vulnerable points, unlike the specified equipment. Personally, my favorite after all the latest upgrades is the T110E5, which has good dynamics and a gun, as well as strong armor. What's your favorite weight?

Play at speed

Dynamic battles have always been interesting; in them you can not only deal damage, but also highlight enemies for your allies. Proper lighting is the key to victory. Let's look at several models of dynamic tanks that are capable of both fighting and shining:

• T-62.
• T-54.
• Object 140.
• Leopard 1.
• E 50.
• E 50 AUSF. M.
• BAT.-CHÂTILLON 25 T AP.

With one shot

It was always fun in the game to shoot an enemy and then watch how much he burns in chat. I present to your attention a selection best tanks, in which you only need one shot to kill the enemy:

• SU – 152.
• S-51.
• FV215B (183).
• T92 HMC.
• KV-2.

The guns of these tanks allow you to destroy the enemy in one shot. But this may not always be the case. Be prepared for the fact that instead of 900 damage you will get 100, but the cooldown will be about 20 seconds. Therefore, before playing with such a technique, learn the vulnerable points of tanks.

Right on target

The main snipers in game World of Tanks is equipment from Germany and Great Britain. Among the most accurate tanks are:

• Leopard 1.
• E 50.
• E 50 AUSF. M.
• PZ.SFL.IVC.
• Panther.
• Nashorn.
• JAGDPANTHER.
• E 25.
• Grille 15.
• Conqueror.
• Centurion Action X.

The accuracy of the listed equipment was determined only by the first shot. If you shoot the E 25 like a machine gun and say that it has a crooked gun, then nothing can be done about it.

This is the end of the review games world of tanks. I hope you were able to learn something new and interesting from this article. If yes, then subscribe to the blog and share information on VKontakte and others social networks. See you soon, dear friends.

That is, you cannot immediately pick up and open a tank of the tenth level; to do this, you will have to start your research from the first vehicle, from the very weak tank, which looks more like a tractor with a cannon than a tank. But already within the framework of this very first of ours tank wot We will find an internal research tree on the www.site; tank modules will have to be researched separately.

General principle

In general, the idea is already clear, to open certain tank, we have to explore the previous one in the research tree. In this case, each tank will have to be brought to the top at least partially, because to open the next vehicle you will need to research some modules on the current tank. In practice, almost all tanks will have to be brought to the top, opening most of the modules.

Research price

All research in the game requires in-game credits and experience. Both of these resources can be earned in battles or purchased. More precisely, you can only buy credits, but you cannot buy experience in the game. But this is a question for donors; in the usual case, in battles we gain experience and credits. The better we perform in battle, the more experience and credits we earn.

Experience

Experience from one tank cannot be spent on researching modules of another tank. Only free experience has this opportunity; it can be spent on any research. In general, 5% of all experience gained by the player is converted into free experience. This is truly a small part, so there is no such thing as too much free experience.

This is understandable, because there is a special paid service that allows you to transfer experience from elite tanks(where all modules are explored) into a free experience. This income item in the KVG estimate is very significant, since not everyone likes to waste time on gradually pumping up tanks and dull pumping up modules.

Loans

Not everything is going smoothly with loans either, because somewhere from the fifth level of tanks their profitability begins to decline, and already somewhere from the eighth level we begin to go into the negative on loans in battles. So the further game will require credits, and not bring them. Everything would be fine, but the cost of tanks grows exponentially and already from the seventh level amounts to millions.

So we have to either spend real money on the game, buying gold, or ride in tanks of the fifth level for thousands of battles. Here, too, everything is logical, because developers need to receive their income. So those who want to quickly jump through the tank research tree will have to pay. With some assumptions, it can be noted that experience and credits can be purchased for real money.

Buying a tank instead of researching

The format is simple - we buy a premium tank, earn credits and experience from it. Then we transfer the experience from it into free experience for gold, and open the necessary equipment. Yes, we most likely will not be able to play a tank purchased in this way. Yes, we will spend a lot of real money. But the goal was to quickly jump through the research tree to the top.

There is no need to remind you that I personally am on www.. Firstly, I am personally against using paid services, fortunately, for now you can win in wot without it. The main reason is that such costs are unlikely to be justified in the future. Secondly, among the walk-through tanks there are many very interesting vehicles. Thirdly, going through the research tree in the normal mode, you have a better chance of learning to play well.

Tank Research

This is the level of development of a specific nation's tree in the game. Tanks are presented in the form of cubes connected by arrows. In general, everything follows an increasing trend, that is, there are several branches, for example medium tanks, heavy tanks, light tanks, and so on, within which we have few alternatives. We upgrade a lower level tank, then move on to a higher model in the same branch.

There are also inter-class transitions, when we can jump to another branch. Although in this case you will have to go through a connecting tank. There are also obvious forks where we can choose in which direction to develop further. It can be safely noted that transition arrows are rare in the wot research tree, which generally slows down the research process.

Module Research

Already within the tank we have to examine modules in the form of guns, turrets, chassis and other useful equipment. The fact is that in their basic, so-called stock state, the tanks are a frankly sad sight. Formally, you can research the next tank in a branch without researching all the modules. But in fact, you can’t miss anything.

The fact is that researching the next tank in the branch requires more and more experience, and it is unlikely that you will be able to play effectively on a tank that does not have all the modules installed. And actually earning experience for modules when your tank barely moves and shoots poorly is still a pleasure.

Here again there is a kind of reference to the translation of experience into free experience, another silent proposal for the use of paid services. Naturally, the most important, critically needed modules can only be examined last. So on many tanks the banal road to the top will be long and difficult.

Exceptions

There are also tanks in the game that you can buy right away without torturing yourself with any research. These include, naturally, tanks of the first levels of all nations. Not only do they not need to be researched, but they are also sold for free, as long as there is a slot in the hangar. However, this chapter is not about them, but about quite serious tanks.

A number of tanks can be bought for gold, these are the so-called premium tanks.. In general, these tanks are slightly inferior to their standard counterparts, but they do not need to be researched, they are immediately sold in top-end configuration. In addition, they have a reduced level of battles and increased profitability. They can also be used to train crews for other tanks of the same type.

I re-read the paragraph and came to the conclusion that I need to clarify the situation a little. Don't get me wrong, premium tanks in the game do not beat the rest, on the contrary, they are weaker, but have some benefits. If you don’t know how to play the world of tanks, then you will show disgusting results even on premium vehicles. Don’t rush to spend 1,500 rubles for a premium tank; first, get comfortable with the game for free.

If you really want to invest in the game and speed up the research process, then it’s better to start with a premium account. Believe me, not all players like premium tanks and playing on them. And for beginners, it’s better not to think about premium tanks at all, or rather not to think about purchasing them.

Total

Already in the conclusion, I will note that researching even one branch of tanks will take a lot of time (counting for quarters), especially if you do not plan to invest real money in the game. There is no need to go to extremes and spend many hours playing the game, trying to research the desired tank. There's no need to rush, because he might not be so good.

Remember also that the research tree was compiled for a reason, not in a random order. With the help of the developers, tanks and modules are sorted along the development tree in exactly the way that is beneficial to them. It is necessary that the player more often has a desire not to suffer, but to add gold to his account and complete a tank or module for free experience.

ADVANCED LEVEL: PREMIUM ACCOUNT

Advanced level

If you have already mastered the basics of the game and are ready to delve deeper into the possibilities of the tank universe, this section is especially for you.

Here you will learn how to research modules and tanks, manage a crew, participate in advanced types of battles, buy and sell armored vehicles and components, use chats and channels.

In this chapter:

Premium account

Research of tanks and modules

Premium account

If you are serious about developing your tank fleet, you should consider purchasing a premium account. Such an account will allow you to earn 50% more experience and credits per battle and, accordingly, develop faster.

A premium account can be purchased for game gold for a period of 1 or 3 days, a week or a month.

To buy a premium account:

1. Click Buy Premium.

2. In the window that opens, select the period for which you want to purchase a premium account:

 For a month (30 days)  For a week (7 days)  For three days (72 hours)  For a day (24 hours)

3. Click Buy. A message about the successful acquisition of an account will appear in the system channel, as well as the expiration date of the premium account. The corresponding amount of gold will be debited from your game account.

Explore new modules and tanks to expand your arsenal of armored vehicles, advance in the game and gain more opportunities on the battlefield. To develop, use the experience gained in battles (see

"Experience ").

There are two ways to research modules and tanks:

 Research of the current tank. Development occurs through research and acquisition of modules for the current tank.

 Researching tanks in the tank tree . In this case, you discover new tanks sequentially, moving along the tank tree.

It is not allowed to purchase new, high-quality

level tanks for money, as well as switching to a tree of another nation, even if there are vehicles of the same level in several trees.

Researching modules for the current tank

To research modules for the current tank:			See also:

ADVANCED LEVEL: RESEARCH OF TANKS AND MODULES

Tank tree

The tank tree represents all the tanks of a given nation, starting from the most basic to the most complex. Allows you to see the overall picture of research, tracking the progress of the transition from one tank to another. Located on the research screen.

1. Click Research. A page with a tree of tanks will open.

2. Select the desired nation by going to the USSR, Germany or USA tab. The tank tree for the selected nation will open. Tanks available for research are highlighted, indicating the number of experience points per tank.

3. To view the characteristics of a specific tank, click

The arms race will never stop. The warring parties need to constantly improve their combat vehicles. Firepower, mobility, range, armor - you need to increase efficiency in all respects in order to gain the maximum advantage over the enemy.

Now we will break down all the different ways to research and purchase the coveted module packages that you can find in the research tree.

Research tree

When you first start playing World of Tanks Console, you will immediately have access to tier 1 light tanks of each nation. In battles with other armored vehicles, you will receive experience and silver, which can be spent on researching modifications of your tank - the so-called module packs. They, as a rule, increase the combat parameters of the vehicle. As soon as you improve the turret, gun, chassis and engine, you can unlock the next level of vehicle in this development branch.

To see the research tree for each nation, switch to the Tanks tab. Here the machines are arranged in horizontal rows depending on their type. In total, the game features 10 levels and 5 types of equipment:

light tanks;
medium tanks;
heavy tanks;
Tank destroyer;
Self-propelled guns.

In order for a high-level tank to become available, it is necessary to research all previous vehicles and module packages. The green arrows in the research tree show which vehicles and module packs you need to research in order to move on to the next tank. For example, American branch starts with the Tier 1 light tank T22 Proto. Four green arrows lead from it to four level 2 cars.

To see the available modifications of the selected equipment, click the button. By studying module packs, you not only improve the characteristics of your current tank, but also get closer to unlocking more powerful vehicles.

Equipment parameters

Highlight any tank in the research tree and press the button. In a new window you will see its type, brief description And basic characteristics. All vehicles in the game have many parameters that together determine the effectiveness of the tank in certain conditions.

The main parameters of the vehicle are displayed by scales on the right on the “Tanks” tab. There are five of them in total:

• strength;
• firepower;
• armor;
• speed;
• review.

The color scale of each of these parameters shows how high this characteristic is for the selected tank: red - low rating, yellow - medium, green - high. Gray the maximum of a specific parameter is indicated, taking into account all module packages.

Module packs can increase the effectiveness of four components: gun, engine, chassis and turret. When you select a module package, you will immediately see the changes that its installation will lead to. By clicking the button, you can learn more about the changes.

Once you have researched and purchased a module pack once, it can be installed on the tank and removed many times.

Tip: while in the Hangar, click the button to see module packages for your armored vehicles.

The price of war

All cars and their modifications have two costs:

• The cost of research is indicated by a star and is paid for by experience. You can buy and use a tank or its modifications only after they have been researched.
• The purchase price is indicated by a coin and indicates the amount of silver required.

Please note: to advance through the research tree, you only need to study previous vehicles and module packs, you do not need to purchase them. For example, if you want to purchase a tank destroyer of the 4th Hetzer level, but don't want to buy a Tier 3 tank destroyer Marder II, you can research Marder II and the necessary module packs. After that, research Hetzer using free experience and buy it with silver.

Experience, elite and premium cars

Experience is added to the tank when you use it in battle. The experience earned can be spent on researching module packages or on opening subsequent vehicles of the same branch. At the end of each battle, you receive free experience equal to 5% of what you earned in that battle. It can be used for any research. Let's say you fall in love with a certain tank and play only on it, you have accumulated a lot of experience and you want to use it as a free tank. In such a situation, the elite status of the equipment will help you.

A vehicle is considered elite if all its modifications and all tanks with which it is associated in the research tree have been researched. If your tank is elite, then by paying a little gold, you can transfer all the experience accumulated on it into free experience, and then use this experience to open any tanks. Elite vehicles are indicated by a gold wreath around their type icon.

Another way to get free experience is through premium tanks. They are not included in the research tree and can be purchased at any time for gold, regardless of other research. Premium vehicles allow you to immediately convert your experience into free experience for gold, since it does not have module packages and is not connected to other machines in the research tree.

Happy research and great shopping! By car!

What would the lists of tanks of all nations be without prototype tanks?

We have collected for you all the development trees of each nation in World of Tanks and excluded from them prototype tanks and tank projects that exist only on paper. There are no tanks left in the technology trees that were not embodied in metal. This is what we got.

Chinese development tree

The Chinese tree mainly loses tanks of levels 8-10. It's interesting to note that WZ-120 is simply the production name for the Type-59. It's literally the same car.

Czech development tree

Goodbye Czech tree. Only tanks of levels 2 and 3 remain in it. Known by the Germans as Pz 35 (t) and Pz 38 (t).

French development tree

The French tree has largely disappeared. This nation did not have heavy tanks before or after World War II. The only exception was perhaps the TT B1. Tank destroyers ceased to exist, like most self-propelled guns.

German development tree

The German tree lost a lot of cars, almost the entire 10th level disappeared. It is worth noting that many German tanks are prototypes of later versions of tanks. For example, VK 30.02M and Panther. Or VK 36.01H and Tiger.

American development tree

American tank destroyers and self-propelled guns remained almost untouched, but the TT and tank destroyer branches almost disappeared.

Japanese development tree

Japan lost almost all tanks above level 5. Not too surprising considering Japan was more concerned about its air and naval forces as an island nation.

The USSR lost a whole line of heavy tanks, almost all of its light tanks, another branch of tank destroyers and 3 out of 4 development sub-branches. Almost all premium tanks also disappeared, being prototypes, and the remaining vehicles were participants in the Lend-Lease program.

British development tree

The UK boasts the most comprehensive technology tree in World of Tanks. However, their medium tanks only lose levels 1 and 10. However, the entire branch of tank destroyers lost all their vehicles after level 2. All
