World of Tanks Blitz: All Tank Types Explained

There are four tank types in World of Tanks Blitz: Light Tanks, Medium Tanks, Heavy Tanks, and Tank Destroyers. Unfortunately, World of Tanks Blitz doesn't have Self-Propelled Guns, which are available in the PC & Console versions of World of Tanks.

Light Tanks

Light tanks are small in size, usually small caliber guns with low armor. Although light tanks offer a high rate of fire, they cannot boast significant DMP like Medium and Heavy tanks.

One more key advantage of light tanks is that they have the highest speed and maneuverability of all tank types in the game. This allows them to quickly scout new areas, flank enemy positions, and escape from danger.

However, it's extremely important to note that Light tanks are the most skill-required tanks in World of Tanks Blitz. To play effectively with LTs, you should have a superb tactical vision of the battlefield, a deep understanding of every mechanic and other tanks, as well as patience not to die in the first few minutes.

Medium Tanks

Medium tanks are the most versatile units on virtual battlefields, and yeah, they can wear many different hats. While not as agile as light tanks, medium tanks are quite maneuverable, having enough power to maneuver around the battlefield.

When it comes to firepower, medium tanks are equipped with guns that offer a decent compromise between penetration and damage output. However, there are some exceptions like Chimera or Progetto 46.

In the hands of the skilled player, medium tanks are a formidable force on the battlefield. Their ability to adapt to various situations and fulfill a range of roles makes them invaluable for every player.

Heavy Tanks

Heavy tanks are vehicles with the lowest maneuverability in World of Tanks Blitz. However, these vehicles are not about mobility. Most of the heavy tanks possess decent armor and a powerful gun that can cause considerable damage per shot.

Playing on a heavy tank, you should spreadhead assaults and lead the charge against enemy positions. Their armor and firepower allow them to absorb enemy fire while their allies follow in their wake.

Tank Destroyers

Tank destroyers vary from vehicle to vehicle. However, these tanks share a number of things in common, being long-range snipers and ambush predators. Tank destroyers are equipped with powerful weapons, and they are designed specifically to destroy enemy tanks. Most tank destroyers lack a turret and have difficulties with maneuvering. So, you should be ready to adjust your playstyle accordingly playing at Tank Destroyers.
