World of Tanks is a free-to-play 3D multiplayer online game developed by Wargaming. You take command of historical and fictional tanks from ten nations, fight in real-time battles of up to 15v15, and earn in-game currency to unlock new vehicles, upgrade your crew and climb the rank ladder.
The game is built around a deep progression system: every tank has a unique tech tree, and your crew skills compound over time. Whether you prefer the hit-and-run style of a light tank, the sustained fire of a medium, or the raw power of a heavy, there is a playstyle for you.
