World Of Tanks is a team-based massively multiplayer online action game dedicated to armored warfare. Throw yourself into the epic tank battles of World War II with other steel cowboys all over the world. Your arsenal includes more than 150 armored vehicles from America, Germany, and the Soviet Union, carefully detailed with historical accuracy.

Ride the legendary Tiger tank, or choose the fast-and-furious Soviet T-34, practice your sharp-shooting skills with the American 155mm M40 Gun Motor Carriage or try experimental/prototype machines such as the Germany's monstrous Maus tank. A Player can have an endless number of tanks in "garage", and all machines can be upgraded in dozens of ways: better turrets, chassis, guns, engines, radios, various ammunition types, plus tank crew members can be leveled up as well.

Update 8.9 marks the official launch of 7 vs. 7 team battles, a new competitive game mode that allows players to form their own teams and match make against tankmen of similar skill and experience.

Along with a new game mode, the latest update enriches the game with an alternative branch of German tank destroyers across tiers 4 through 10, the Chinese 112 and T-34-3 premium tanks, and a brand new battle arena with North American setting, “Northwest.”
