Light Tank
The concept of light tank is compared with traditional medium and heavy tank. The light tank is small, light, fast and flexible. Light tank is classified according to the weight and caliber. It mainly used for investigation and vigilance, also can be used to fight in some specific conditions. Due to the limitation of its motility and weight, the light tank has to avoid firing against medium and heavy tanks. It can take advantage of its motility to perform the battlefield supply or its speed to discover enemies for other friendly tanks to attack.
Medium Tank
Medium tank is really flexible and multi-purpose. It is competent in the role of investigation, assistance and even attack. Compared with light tanks, the difference between medium tanks is really large: the heaviest medium tank is 67t and its armor thickness reaches 120mm; the speed of the fastest medium tank reaches 60km/h. If you want to destroy enemy investigators, especially when they are light tanks, the medium tank is the best fighter. Moreover, the medium tank has better cannon and armor. Although its motility is weaker than the light tank, it has the advantage of its fast speed against the heavy and Piat. Therefore, outflanking the enemies, offering fire supply, or finding the weak point of enemy defense, the medium tank is equal to all these aspects.
Heavy Tank
Heavy tank, as its name shows, it is really heavy and cumbersome. However, it has heavy armor and powerful cannon and it often the crucial to turn the table. Due to its thick armor, it moves slowly: the lightest heavy tank weighs about 42t, equals the heaviest medium tank, while the heaviest heavy tank weighs 190t; the speed of the fastest heavy tank is about 20km/h~50km/h; the armor thickness of the body can reach 200mm and its cannon armor can be as thick as 300mm; only anti-tank is more powerful than it. Heavy tank can be the bridgehead during a battle, especially when several heavy tanks charge in a line laterally. It also can be the crucial unit holding the crucial location in the map to drag the enemy charging speed.
Tank Destroyer
Tank destroyers are specially used to destroy enemy tanks. Its cannon are much more powerful than other units of its level. Most of the tank destroyers has no chin turret, so it has to rotate its body to aim at the target. Meanwhile, it can lower its body to hide itself better. The heaviest tank destroyer weighs 91t; the speed of the fastest 55km/h; the thickest armor reaches 250mm. Piat has a slight armor which is easily penetrated. So the driver has to hide the tank destroyer and launch attacks surprisingly. Tank destroyer can’t handle close range confrontation.
2. Series
Soviet Series
Soviet series is set according to the Soviet Union. The S.U. engineers focus more on large-caliber which makes the tanks of Soviet Series highest DAM. As small tanks can’t bear thick armor, the tanks of soviet series adopt tilt armor design to increase counterattack rate. The soviet series adopts the diesel engine as the engine to avoid the frozen fuel due to the severe winter. However, in this way, the soviet series has lower rate in engine catching fire than other series which use gasoline as fuels. The light tank of the soviet series is the most popular tank. The medium tank of the soviet series has strong mobility. But the engineers set the Ammo bay on the fragile part of the body, which increased the exploding rate of Ammo bay. The heavy tank of the soviet series is really cool except for its weak shot accuracy. It can hardly be penetrated in the front for its thick and tilt design of armor. Tank Destroyers of the soviet series uses strong fire damage to cover the poor shot accuracy.

It can easily make zigzags to avoid enemy attack when investigate the enemy field. German heavy tank is bigger than other series. Please keep in mind that the accurate German cannon will turn your enemies into burning irons instantly, but you just stay far away from it. If you see a giant slowly moving object in the battlefield, it may be the German heavy tank. They have heavy armor which makes them fearless in the battlefield. German tank destroyer is too big to hide itself, but it has thick armor, powerful guns and the sniper-like accuracy.
American Series
American series is set according to America. It’s really simple to operate American tanks. Among the 3 series, American tanks have the highest Damage per minute. However, fire hazard happens a lot on American tanks. What’s worse, the body of American tanks often has no armor. Firepower of American light tanks is higher than that of other series. But the motility and speed are relatively weak. American medium tanks can kill enemies flexibly in the battlefield. They have high shot speed and good accelerating ability. You have to set fire extinguisher in cast that the fuel tank is on fire. Compared with other series, American heavy tank is relatively weak in the body armor, but strong in the front turret armor. American tank destroyer is quite different in the operation style. Tank destroyers of lv 5 and lv 6 owns a turret which is able to traverse 360°. Piat of higher levels has better cannon and armor, but their speed is extremely slow.
