World of Tanks

World of Tanks is a massively multiplayer online game built around armored warfare, allowing players to command tanks from different nations in competitive team battles. Developed by Wargaming, it combines action with vehicle progression, encouraging players to learn the strengths, weaknesses and tactical possibilities of different machines. Positioning matters considerably: charging into the middle of the battlefield may look heroic, but it is usually a very efficient way of becoming somebody else's target. Players can unlock and upgrade a wide variety of tanks, gradually moving toward more powerful vehicles while learning how to cooperate with their team. The game helped popularize free-to-play online tank combat and remains one of the best-known examples of turning historical military hardware into a highly competitive multiplayer pastime.
