Glossary
This list will attempt to explain some of the more common jargon found within WoT that is not always readily apparent to the newer player.
Obsah
General Terms (by letter)
Číselné
- 1 shot/1 shotted - Zničit či být zničen jedním výstřelem.
- Number (in reference to a gun) - It is common for players to refer to a gun by its caliber and length. For instance, players commonly refer to the 8.8 cm PaK 36 L/56 as the short 88 and the 8.8 cm KwK L/71 as the long 88.
A
- AFK – zkratka z angličtiny znamenající, že je dotyčný nepřítomen u klávesnice/počítače.
- Aim time – čas zaměřování, po kterém dělo plně doměří.
- Alpha - udělené poškození jedním výstřelem.
- Ammo Rack - The area of a vehicle where ammunition is stored. It can be located in the hull or the turret of a tank (ready rack).
- Ammo Racking - výbuch bedny s municí, kterou máte uloženou ve vašem tanku.
- Armor Skirts - Additional armor plates designed to give a tank additional protection, usually placed on the sides over the tracks. See "Spaced Armor".
- Arty/Artillery - zkratka anglického artillery (dělostřelectvo) označující samohybná děla ve hře. V češtině se využívají také označení jako "housky", "artska".
- Autoaim – automatické zaměřování aktivující se kliknutím pravým tlačítkem myši na nepřítele.
- Autoloader - An automatic loading system which allows for a tank to fire multiple shots in succession without a long pause for a reload. Vehicles equipped with autoloaders typically have magazines holding three to eight shots with short load times in-between. Once this magazine has been expended, the vehicle must reload the entire magazine, which usually takes much longer. These are not to be confused with autocannons, which are similar but have a few different characteristics.
- Autocannon - An autocannon is a low caliber weapon capable of fully automatic fire (burst-fire in the game), but unlike machine guns, they fire shells instead of bullets. Used in early-war light tanks to give them an edge versus their (at the time) machine gun-armed opponents. However, autocannons rapidly fell behind in the shell-vs-armor race and quickly became used only by a few specialized German reconnaissance vehicles. However, autocannon use vastly expanded in the region of anti-aircraft defense.
B
Big/Small Banana - Na mapě Ruinberg je označovaná ulice kolem města jako "velký banán" a ulice, která vede prostředkem mapy jako "malý banán".

- Bounce - A shot that ricocheted off of or failed to penetrate another vehicle.
- Brawling - Close-range, head-to-head fighting. Vehicles which are proficient at brawling are referred to as brawlers. Heavy tanks are most commonly associated with brawling, although it's not uncommon for medium tanks or certain kinds of tank destroyers to do this also. Brawling is different from close-range flanking, which involves attacking another vehicle from its sides or rear rather than head-on.
- Buff - zlepšování statistik/vlastností jednotlivých tanků ze strany tvůrců hry.
- Bug – určitá chyba ve hře, kdy lze např. prostřelit neprůhlednou zeď domu či projet skálou.

- Expy/Expení – z anglického experience (zkušenost), herní zkušenosti jsou nezbytné k postupu hrou.
F
- Face Hugging - Driving a vehicle up to an enemy and pressing the front of your vehicle against it. This is most commonly done on heavily armored tank to either make the enemy panic or conceal a weak spot low on the vehicle's hull (such as a weak lower glacis).
- Farmit – z angl. farming, často používáno ve spojení s damage, jde o nastřílení poškození na afk stroji.
- Finger of God - Large-caliber SPGs which have the potential to one-shot kill vehicles or deal large amounts of damage to a vehicle in one hit.

Firing gold rounds is sometimes referred to as spamming gold.
- Grinding- Repeatedly playing games in order to earn experience or credits to use on unlocking higher tier tanks.
- Glacis Plate - Describes the sloped front-most section of the hull of a vehicle. In a head-on-head armored engagement, the glacis is the largest and most obvious target available to an enemy gunner. On many vehicles, the lower half of the glacis (the lower glacis) is a weak spot.

- Statpadder - Refers to someone who uses certain tank to inflate stats. Statpadder's stats may give a artifial picture of the player, making him seem better than he actually is. Also see Seal Clubber
- Stock - The beginning state of a vehicle, before any of its modules have been unlocked and mounted. Stock tanks almost always perform worse than their upgraded counterparts.
- Suiscout/Suicide Scout - The act of scouting by immediately charging deep into the enemy lines at the beginning of the game. This is usually done with little regard to one's survival, and almost always results in the scout dying. It is rarely an effective way to scout enemy tanks, as they will often be out of range of allies, or who haven't gotten a chance to position themselves yet.
- Support - Taking a secondary role to other vehicles, who are needed either to spot or draw fire from enemy vehicles. Support vehicles are often lacking in some aspect (poor armor, poor view range, etc.) but are strong in other aspects and can be very effective if combined with cooperative teammates.

V
- VertStab/VStab - Short for Vertical Stabilizer

Ammunition Abbreviations
See Also: Ammo
- AP - Armor Piercing rounds. Armor piercing rounds, as their name suggests, are designed to pierce the armor of heavily protected armored fighting vehicles. AP rounds are the standard ammunition for most direct-fire vehicles in the game, and sometimes are premium ammunition for some artillery.
- APCR - Armor Piercing, Composite, Rigid rounds. Composite rounds are also designed to pierce armor, and are comprised of a dense, sub-caliber core surrounded by a lightweight ballistic shell. These shells have greater penetration values and higher muzzle velocities than armor piercing rounds, but react more adversely to angled armor. APCR rounds are premium ammunition for most direct-fire vehicles in the game, and are standard rounds for some higher-tier vehicles.
- HE - High Explosive rounds. High explosive rounds explode on impact, and their armor penetration ability is derived from their strength as explosives. They have higher alpha damage than other types of ammo, but are unreliable for penetrating thick or spaced armor. Typically, HE rounds are used for their utility for resetting caps, demolishing cover, or attacking poorly armored targets. HE rounds are standard secondary ammunition for most direct-fire vehicles in the game, and are the standard ammunition for almost all artillery.
- HEAT - High Explosive, Anti-Tank rounds. High explosive anti-tank rounds use a shaped explosive charge to sear a hole in a vehicle's armor. This means that their penetration ability is determined by the amount of explosive the round carries, rather than weight and muzzle velocity. HEAT rounds react adversely to well-angled armor, and can harmlessly pre-detonate on spaced armor. HEAT rounds are premium ammunition for some high-caliber, direct fire vehicles in the game or those that shoot APCR as standard ammunition. HEAT is also the premium ammunition for most artillery.
- HESH - High Explosive Squash Head rounds. High explosive squash head rounds are rounds which spread an explosive "paste" on the surface they hit which explodes and causes spalling, wounding or killing the crew inside of the structure it hits. In-game, the realistic properties of HESH are not simulated, and HESH rounds are simply HE rounds with high penetration values (and are labeled as HE as well). HESH rounds are the premium ammunition on some high-tier vehicles (usually British).
Vehicle Shorthand (Guide)
In battle there often isn't time to type full names. Many players don't know how to touch-type, for one thing, and battle doesn't allow much time to begin with.
1) It's very typical in battles for players to refer to specific vehicles in shorthand. This is often done by only listing the model number. For example, "212" instead of "Object 212". If you aren't sure, you can review the list of tanks in the battle on the side of the screen in detail by pressing the Tab key. Once you familiarize yourself with most of the tank names, you shouldn't have any problems. Shorthand may vary somewhat according to the tanks in the battle. For instance if there were VK 30.01 (H)'s in the battle, but no VK 30.01 (P)'s, a player may leave off the H and just say "3001". Some other examples:
- 212 instead of Object 212
- 3001H instead of VK 30.01 (H)
- 140, or 430, or 416 often used for Russian medium tanks instead of Object 140, Object 430 and Object 416
2) Another common tendency, especially when talking to friendlies, is to only use the prefix. For example, if you're the only VK model on the team, players will most likely refer to you as "VK" instead of by your tank's model number. AMX, KV, IS, M4, AT and GW are other common prefixes used.
3) Models that don't have numbers and have unique names are often shortened. Some examples:
- Ferdi instead of Ferdinand
- BatChat, or just Bat, instead of Bat Chatillon 25 t
- Patton instead of M46 Patton
- Borsig instead of Rhm.-Borsig Waffenträger
4) Likewise, players might shorten a name using initials, such as:
- JT - Nickname for the Jagdtiger
- CGC - Nickname for the Conqueror Gun Carriage
- WTF - Nickname for the Waffenträger auf E 100
5) Sometimes a player may simply not have time to even worry about identifying you specifically and say "VK" even though there are four VKs on your team. For example, "VK behind you!". Usually this is done because the player typing doesn't know your model number and doesn't have time to look. However, in most situations this should be avoided because in this example, it would confuse the other three VKs, possibly getting them killed as they look behind them for enemies that aren't there.
Map Nicknames
Even some maps have nicknames.

Vehicle Nicknames
A number of vehicles in the game have been given nicknames by the community. These names are either derived from their distinguishing characteristics or are made to shorten their longer technical names. Only a few are nicknames that were used in real life. This is not intended to be a comprehensive list of every nickname in the game.
