World of Tanks is a 3D team-based massively multiplayer online game featuring historically accurate fighting vehicles from the 1930's to the 1950's.
All in all there will be around 500 vehicles available in the game.
Each new player will start a game driving a light German or Soviet tank. While getting experience and credits, a user will be able to upgrade his tank or other unit to a heavier model. There will also be a chance to modify the existing tank by means of changing turrets, chassis, engines, guns, radios and various ammunition types and thus try a new experimental machine and increase the player’s fighting potential. Every unit has about 10 modifications with different combat characteristics and all modifications are historically grounded – that means they were either implemented in real life or existed as prototypes. An average tank will have 2 modifications of turret, 2 variants of chassis, 3 models of engine and 2-6 modifications of the main gun. When a player already has a lot of credits and points, he can buy new vehicles and place them in his garage. If needed, the garage can further be extended, or if there is no more place for new items, unused units can be sold. Tank crew members will be leveling up as well. World of Tanks has a "virtual" crew system with certain leveling options. With every new battle the crew gains more and more experience which leads to improved performance of your panzer on the battlefield. Say, having a veteran gunner in your tank will result in n% increase in fire accuracy. When the main skills of your crew members are maxed out they are free to acquire some side-skills e.g. the driver may learn the ropes of maintenance so in case of emergency this will let you reduce repair time. All of the modifications and changes take place in the period between the battles.
