The Soviet tank fleet features a number of famous historical machines that took part in World War II. Mastering and rising through the ranks of the Soviet tanks is fairly easy as there are a few common traits in the tech tree: decent overall armor, a low silhouette, powerful guns, and a good top speed. All this makes Soviet vehicles a good choice for those who prefer close-to-mid-range combat and an aggressive playstyle.

Featuring highly accurate guns with great armor penetration, German vehicles are the best suited for long-range combat and keeping the enemy at bay. Coupled with solid armor and higher hit points pool, these German machines lean toward a more defensive approach. However, their larger size and low mobility limits their ability to move quickly on the battlefield.

Sweden managed to develop its own school of tank building with a few unique concepts. While lower-tier tanks are not very different from their peers, things change at the top end, bringing two different mechanics: an autoloader for heavy tanks and the hydropneumatic suspension with the hull-tilting feature for mediums and tank destroyers. Generally, Swedish tanks are designed for defense, boasting good, heavily sloped frontal armor and great gun depression angles.

Italy took a lot of ideas from German engineering. As such, cautious long-range hunting is one of their main tactics. The Italians have accurate, quick-firing guns, with the top three tanks carrying the “autoreloader”, an advanced version of the common autoloader. Equipped with it, vehicles can quickly spit out several shells one after the other, but they don’t suffer from long reload time and can switch to a regular rate of fire, becoming a dangerous weapon in the hands of tank aces.

American vehicles boast excellent view range, great angles of gun depression (especially helpful when fighting on hilly terrains), and strong frontal armor. Uncle Sam’s machines are perfect for those who like to switch between various tactics and can adapt to changing combat scenarios—be it attacking, defending, setting ambushes or confronting enemies at close quarters.

China's tank-building school borrowed a lot from the Soviet engineering and design, which makes their vehicles conceptually similar to those from the USSR. Going up the tech tree will put you in control of fast machines, ideal for breaking through enemy lines, and boasting low silhouettes, sloped armor and mighty guns. Chinese tanks are designed for an aggressive attacking playstyle and are perfect for players who like to take the initiative on the battlefield.

The British tank fleet has both classic “light” cruiser tanks with high mobility but weak protection, and large sluggish machines with thick frontal armor. However, the main feature of the entire faction is their outstanding guns, with excellent depression angles, great accuracy, rate of fire, and armor penetration countered by a lower damage per shot. Overall, their playstyle somewhat resembles German and American vehicles—slowly pushing through enemy lines or defending their current position.

The main distinctive features of the Polish tanks start appearing in the middle of the branch. These are robust combat vehicles with good armor and speed, garnished with very powerful guns. The Polish vehicles very much resemble Soviet and Chinese tanks, but they bring even more damage to the table. Lacking speed, they can still confidently push through enemy defenses and dominate the frontlines. In general, Polish tanks are very balanced machines with an apparent emphasis on firepower.

The Japanese tank fleet is quite distinctive. That said, the difference between heavy and medium tanks here is prominent. While the former are huge super heavy machines with powerful guns and think armor, the latter are poorly protected and highly mobile support vehicles. However, both heavies and mediums have very good angles of gun depression, while the top-tier medium tank enjoys hydro-pneumatic suspension which allows it to tilt its hull.

Depending on the tier, French tanks have rather different traits and features. Early pre-World War II vehicles are slow but heavily armored. On the contrary, late-game post-WWII machines are fast but poorly protected. However, this all pales in comparison to the French’s main feature—the autoloader: a mechanic that allows for rapidly shooting several shells one after the other for maximum damage. Just make sure to find cover, as reloading the magazine takes considerably more time.

The Czechoslovakian tanks were influenced by a number of foreign designs from several time periods. There are vehicles of German and Soviet origin that stand side by side with homegrown concepts. Czechoslovakian tanks possess high firepower and can reach great speed, while the line is topped with two autoloader-equipped machines at Tiers IX and X. All-in-all, these tanks will best fit experienced players who know how to use their advantages and react to various combat situations.
