| + | '''Flanker''' - A tank that works best when used to flank enemy tanks, preferably while they're already engaged with another member of your team (i.e. flanking tactics). They may also be referred to as a "flanking tank". Generally these tanks are fast, maneuverable, and fare poorly when engaging enemies from the front. | |||

Be careful of making the assumption though, as it is often difficult to differentiate between a Kill Stealer and someone who was just helping out. | |

These friendly tanks benefit you both as spotters and as a means of keeping the enemy preoccupied enough that they'll need to shoot at them instead of at you. Generally these have guns with very good accuracy, usually high damage, a high [[Battle Mechanics#Camouflage|camouflage]] coefficient, and sometimes poor armor. | |

| + | '''SPG''' - [[Self Propelled Guns|Self-propelled gun, artillery]]. (e.g. That SPG on the other team just 1-shot me!) | |||
| + | ||||
| + | '''Spotter''' - A tank that spots enemy vehicles for artillery, TDs, and/or snipers, allowing them to fire beyond their own [[Battle Mechanics#|visual range]]. This may or may not be a deliberate act by the spotter (e.g. Artillery: Can't fire. No spotters!). | |||
| + | ||||
| + | '''Support Tank''' - A tank with weak armor, but at least a decent gun, that can best help by firing from the second line (i.e. from a position behind better-armored friendlies). Whether or not a tank should be considered a "support tank" may vary depending on the tier(s) of the enemies being faced. Unlike a sniper tank, a support tank will try to remain close to the front line, but not on the front line. Unlike a flanking tank, a support tank will not actively attempt to flank. | |||

| '''Suspension''' - Means of suppressing vehicle shaking with various bumps on the road. In WWII, spring suspension or torsion bar suspension were usually used, though many tanks used also Christie suspension (most prominently BT series and T-34). Suspension limits how much weight can the tank carry without serious penalties to mobility. | '''Suspension''' - Means of suppressing vehicle shaking with various bumps on the road.
