Official game tips

One of the following tips is randomly shown each time you load into a battle:

Tip 0Boggy ground significantly reduces vehicle turning speed and mobility.
Tip 1To select shells, use keys 1–3. Shell types differ in penetration and damage.
Tip 2Light tanks are the eyes and ears of the team. Use them to find the enemy.
Tip 3The longer light tanks manage to survive among enemies, the more successful artillery performance will be, and the more targets will be knocked out.
Tip 4A light tank without a good radio becomes a burden to the team.
Tip 5Suspension, radio, and engine are generally more important to a light tank than the gun and turret.
Tip 6A driver of a light or medium tank who believes he is driving a heavy tank won't live long.
Tip 7The goal of a medium tank is to attack flanks and rear areas, and withdraw after delivering a thrust.
Tip 8A wolf pack of medium tanks is capable of hounding even the strongest opponent to death.

Tip 35Try High-Explosive shells in situations where even Premium shells are ineffective.
