Here are three major aspects of this game you should keep in mind : World of Tanks is a massively multiplayer online game developed by Belarussian company Wargaming (now based in Cyprus), featuring mid-20th century (1930s–1960s) era tanks and self-propelled artillery (generally shortened to artillery, arty or SPG). INTRO : WARNING : WOT IS NOT FREE-TO-PLAY 'WEBOGRAPHY' (useful links, especially tutorials) Special O-I Experimental (a Japanese heavy tank, once widely used) corner.Special (often slow and) fragile TDs (anti-tank / tank destroyer).Overpowered vehicles (OP) : a selective list and a comprehensive one.

Please be reassured : in 90% of cases, choosing that kind of tank is still a good choice. And that a number of tanks which used to be OP but no longer are (because they’ve been buffed or because new, more powerful tanks have been launched by the game publisher) will still be listed. Which means that some new overpowered (OP) tanks will be missing.

this guide is updated, but *not* regularly.

Unicums and the like are kindly invited to take into consideration that I’m not addressing their needs

this guide is *not* intended for the better-than-average player.

All I hope is they help beginners and other medium level players, allowing them not to spend hundreds of battles before understanding what it takes to play better and to have fun with World of Tanks. I have simply found them useful : when I implement them, they work. I don’t pretend either to be able to perfectly follow all of the following tactics.

In terms of win ratio, I’m under average. I don’t pretend to be a very good player. Hereunder, you will find both my own personal guide and a 'guide to the guides'. Until 2017, I played World of Tanks (WoT) a lot.
