Technical characteristics of tanks in the world of tanks. World of Tanks system requirements. Resistance to soil, or cross-country ability
We have collected statistics from World of Tanks for all combat vehicles in the game.
We analyzed all the tanks for 24 main indicators and collected their key characteristics in tables. Below you will see a comparison of the performance characteristics of tanks in terms of damage, movement speed, penetration, durability, initial projectile flight speed, power and armor thickness.
Tank comparison
The data in the tables are divided by characteristics and represent the top lines of the list of all WOT tanks sorted by the selected indicator.
Damage per minute DMP
The most dangerous tanks in World of Tanks in terms of maximum damage per minute of battle. The shorter the meeting with these war machines face to face, the more chances of survival.

By maximum speed
The fastest tanks are presented in the table in terms of maximum movement speed. Tanks pick up a given speed at different times. Here we compared tanks by their movement speed on the map in the World of Tanks.
Also, in terms of maximum speed, the last two places from the table are not inferior to light tanks T-50-2, A-20 and T2 Light.
By breaking through the armor
No enemy will stand against the tanks from this table. It contains combat vehicles capable of penetrating the thickest frontal armor with a high degree of probability. It is better to protect yourself from shots of such a technique behind obstacles.
| A place | Name | Class | Level | Cannon | Penetration, mm | One-time damage, hp |
| 1 | FV215b 183 | Fri-sau | 10 | 183 mm L4 | 310 | 1150 |
| 2 | FV4005 | Fri-sau | 10 | 183 mm L4 | 310 | 1150 |
| 3 | Strv 103B | Fri-sau | 10 | 10,5 cm kan strv 103 L / 62 | 308 | 390 |

| 8 | T110E3 | Fri-sau | 10 | 155 mm AT Gun T7E2 | 295 | 750 |
By margin of safety
These tanks are unmatched in terms of hit points. Often, in order to destroy any of the tanks from the HP table, you will need more than one tank ammunition!
| A place | Name | Class | Level | Hitpoints | Weight, kg |
| 1 | Maus | tt | 10 | 3200 | 188680 |
| 2 | Type 5 Heavy | tt | 10 | 2900 | 149700 |
| 3 | E 100 | tt | 10 | 2700 | 129390 |

| 8 | 113 | tt | 10 | 2300 | 44700 |
Also, the following tanks have 2300 hp in World of Tanks: 113 BO and Mauschen.
By the speed of the projectile
Here are the leaders among WoT tanks in terms of the maximum muzzle velocity of the projectile fired. Against these tanks, you will not be able to slip between buildings at a great distance. The hit of shells from such tanks has a high chance of penetrating armor.
| A place | Name | Class | Level | Speed, m / s |
| 1 | (R) T-62A | st | 10 | 1535 |
| 2 | Object 140 | st | 10 | 1535 |
| 3 | Object 430 | st | 10 | 1535 |
| 4 | Object 907 | st | 10 | 1535 |
| 5 | T-22 med. | st | 10 | 1535 |
| 6 | T-62A | st | 10 | 1535 |
| 7 | AMX 30 B | st | 10 | 1535 |
| 8 | AMX 30 | st | 9 | 1525 |
Also, the AMX Cda 105 tank has an initial projectile speed of 1525 meters / s.
By the ratio of engine power to weight
This table shows the characteristics of tanks, which are ways to gain maximum speed faster than others. Their engine power often exceeds the required one. On such tanks it is good to conduct reconnaissance or move among many opponents. Preemptive shots at tanks from the table below have little chance of success. It is best to hit these combat vehicles with a shot in the forehead or while the tank is stationary.
By the thickness of the body armor
The list of the most protected tanks in World of Tanks crowns the comparative tables of characteristics. There are no tanks that can be easily penetrated. All vehicles are protected and have incredible frontal armor, which only a few among all combat vehicles from the world of tanks are capable of penetrating. Fighting them head-on is the most hopeless idea. This technique was created for tanking in the forefront at a great distance, as well as for conducting positional battles.
| A place | Name | Class | Level | Forehead, mm | Board, mm | Feed, mm |
| 1 | T95 | Fri-sau | 9 | 305 | 152 | 50 |
| 2 | Type 5 Heavy | tt | 10 | 270 | 160 | 150 |

The most popular tank game has a large selection of ground military vehicles. Both a beginner and an experienced player, in order to correctly conduct battle tactics, need to know the characteristics of tanks in World of Tanks.
All equipment by type is divided into:
light tanks;
medium tanks;
heavy tanks;
Tank destroyer;
SPG.
Each type of tank has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Light tanks are distinguished by good speed, up to 80 kilometers per hour on flat terrain, and maneuverability, which makes it possible for them to get out from under fire. LTs tend to have a quick reload or a drum cannon, which gives them the ability to fire frequently. However, the so-called "fireflies" have little penetration and weak armor.
The tasks of this type of equipment include:
1) "Shine". Driving fast, hiding well and transmitting data on the location of enemies is the main task of light tanks.
2) "Cut art". Finding and killing enemy artillery is a feasible task for a light tank. The self-propelled guns have long aiming and a stationary gun, low maneuverability and low speed, thin armor. If the "firefly" approached the SPG quickly enough and unnoticed, then it will certainly kill her, even with a small penetration.
3) Distract enemies. A fast tank, as a rule, shines well and transmits information to its allies, which annoys enemies. While they are trying to "take" the "firefly", the allied artillery, AT and heavy tanks will do their job.
Medium tanks. This type of technique is most widely represented in the game. They are fast, maneuverable, and have more armor than LTs. These tanks have a higher penetration rate and a good reload speed. ST represent the "golden mean" between light and heavy tanks.
Medium Tank Tasks:
1) ST can cover heavy tanks, eliminating enemy LT, thereby preventing them from transmitting data to the enemy.
2) With the well-coordinated work of several medium tanks, you can deliver a strong blow to the enemy's flank.
3) One CT with fast reloading and good maneuverability can eliminate a heavy enemy tank if the player knows the weak points of the enemy "heavy".
4) Medium tanks are effective against non-maneuverable AT. If the ST approaches the anti-tank vehicle from the side and uses its maneuverability, it will certainly "spin" and eliminate it.
5) In the absence of LT, a medium tank can take over the functions of lightning.
Heavy tanks are the main strength of the team. They have thick armor and great penetration. However, most TTs are slow and non-maneuverable. For good armor-piercing, they receive a long-term reloading of the gun.
The task of the TT is clear: to inflict the main damage, hold back the enemy's onslaught, covered with tank destroyers and self-propelled guns
Anti-tank equipment. They have great penetration, high and medium speed, and are distinguished by good camouflage. With these advantages, they have huge disadvantages in the form of a sedentary weapon and, often, small armor.
The PT's task is to take an advantageous and inconspicuous position and shoot in light.
SPG. It is known as "art" in the game. In the game, when aiming, a card will be issued from above. Deals great damage, shoots far. In contrast to the good damage, she received thin armor, an immobile weapon, a slow reload and a long aiming.
The art's task is to take an advantageous position with a good view and shoot accurately. "Art" of high levels can eliminate "whole" enemy in one shot.
To choose the right tank, you need to know the characteristics of tanks in World of Tanks. Every player has their own preferences for technique in this game.
As with many games, World of tanks there are requirements, the observance of which will allow you to enjoy the gameplay. Some of them are critical: you won't even be able to install the game. Failure by others may result in the crash of the game. IN World of tanks eat like minimum requirements and recommended... Based on the name, it can be determined that the former are the necessary minimum, which ensures the ability to play at the lowest settings, the latter are the desired parameters that your computer should have for a comfortable game. We have made a table in which you can see and compare the minimum and recommended computer settings:
| Parameters | Minimum Requirements | Recommended Requirements |
| OS | Win Vista / 7/8/10 (64 bit only) | Win 7/8/10 (64 bit only) |
| CPU | Intel Core i3 2.4 GHz / AMD Ryzen 3 1200 3.1 GHz or equivalent | Intel Core i5-3330 2.8 GHz / AMD Ryzen 5 2400 3.6 GHz or equivalent |
| A. Memory | 4 GB | 8 GB |
| Video | GeForce 6800 GT / Radeon HD 6470m / Intel HD 4000 | GeForse GTX 660 / Radeon HD 7870 / Intel Iris Pro Graphics 6200 2 GB |
| DirectX | DirectX 9.0c | DirectX 9.0c, 11, 12 |
| Audio | DirectX 9.0c Compatible | DirectX 9.0c Compatible |
| G. Disk | 20 GB | 38 GB |
| Internet | 256 Kbps | 1024 Kbps (for voice chat) |
Such system requirements are proposed by developers from http://ru.wargaming.net/ so that when playing World of tanks you were enjoying yourself.
Please note that if there is not enough space on the disk on which you are installing the game, then WOT will not be able to install on it. If your computer is not suitable for other parameters, then the game simply will not start.
Video guide. How to download, install and configure World of Tanks
Despite the ease of development, the online game world of tanks is a complex computer game, with many parameters and characteristics, including tanks.
What do we see in our hangar for each of our tanks? Yes, these are various characteristics of the car, but the parameters are not only not all, but also inaccurate. Let's just show it using the example of a booking, which is tritely indicated in millimeters. But there is such a reservation only on a part of the area of each projection, there are zones of weakened reservation, there is a strong cannon mask.
The picture is approximately the same with almost all characteristics. In addition, part of the tank's performance characteristics in the hangar, in principle, are not displayed, although they can be viewed on the website www .. For example, the UHN and UGN guns are not reflected in the game client itself, but they can be found on the official wikipedia world of tanks. But far from everything is reflected there.
Let's start to figure out why the developers do not like to please players with the exact characteristics of game armored vehicles, a thorough description of the principles of game mechanics.
No need to complicate
No, you should not immediately think about an insidious conspiracy of no less insidious wargaming, although we will also talk about this in this article, but a little later. The first reason is trivial and logical - players simply don't need detailed information. In more detail and more precisely, most players do not need such information. I will say more, many do not attach importance even to those performance characteristics that are indicated right in the hangar to the right of the tank.
Developers need profit, which means that their product must meet the aspirations of the majority, even to the detriment of those who are interested in all the performance characteristics of armored vehicles. In addition, there will be some complication in the game client itself, it would be necessary to think about something about displaying a large amount of technical data, and this is an extra work of programmers, extra costs for developing the world of tanks.
So simple logic and lack of interest in technical details among the target audience lead to the fact that very little is indicated on tanks in the wot client. Fortunately, those who wish can get acquainted with additional performance characteristics on official resources. But there are also those characteristics that you will not find anywhere else.
Secret game of KVG
And here, yes, we are talking about a conspiracy of developers. More precisely, there is no conspiracy, it's just an additional element that allows you to correct the balance without any announcement. So they are going to change the slope of the armor plates in Super Pershing in 0.8.8, what a fuss among the players. But you can change the masking parameters, the cross-country ability of the chassis quietly, without unnecessary noise and dust.
A number of tank characteristics are not published at all. A very important characteristic is the vehicle's stealth coefficient, you will not find it. The developers themselves edit these parameters, without our knowledge and without announcing changes. Hiding behind bushes is useful - but how specific? In 0.8.6 we weakened the effect of the bushes, but by how much? About 20%, but how much was it originally?
Do you think that the dynamics and maximum speed of the tank depend on the engine power and the mass of the armored vehicle? Yes, but in a spherical vacuum, because the tank tracks the tracks on the ground, and the cross-country ability of the chassis is not announced anywhere. Sometimes developers publish changes to these characteristics, but with what to compare, because the value itself was not named.
There are many examples here, and about each of them on www .. This gives developers a wide field of maneuver, you can change the tank without changing the open performance characteristics, without attracting much attention to it. And KVG does not intend to lose such an advantage.
Total
By and large, this article should not be considered a disclosure, because disclosure implies some kind of deception. In fact, the game world of tanks is wholly owned by the developers, the players have no rights. We may or may not play tanks, and donators don’t think that they somehow stand out from the gray mass, but this is a different story.
Immediately, we just note that not all the performance characteristics of tanks, and the parameters of the game, are known to us. The developers simply did not bring a lot to the game client, so as not to burden the average player who came to the world of tanks to relax with unnecessary data. The developers keep other game parameters secret so that the game is convenient to manipulate.
Commanders!
After the official release of World of Tanks, we expect to see players of different levels. Someone may already be an experienced tanker, while someone, on the contrary, will press the "Battle!" Button for the first time.
When you enter the game for the first time, you will have tier 1 tanks at your disposal (one from each nation), as well as three empty slots to accommodate other vehicles (additional slots can be purchased with in-game gold). To instantly go into battle in your chosen vehicle, just press the button. However, you can pre-configure your tank by pressing a button - you can select the type of shells, as well as purchase various equipment that will be useful in battle, such as a fire extinguisher or a first aid kit.
Tanks in the game differ from each other: they can be fast or clumsy, heavy with strong armor or medium with an accurate weapon, invisible tank destroyers, agile scouts (light tanks) or deadly self-propelled guns. As you play with different vehicle classes, you can determine which one is most suitable for your playstyle. Feel free to experiment and choose the technique to your liking!
You may notice that tanks have specific features depending on the nation or their "branch" in the tech tree. For example, most German vehicles have thick frontal armor and an accurate and powerful weapon. British heavy tanks and tank destroyers rely on their strong armor and gun rate of fire, but they are also slow. American tanks, on the other hand, have no distinct features. Therefore, if you are looking for a versatile machine, choose American technology. But remember that their armor is not as strong as that of the British heavy tanks, and the guns are not as accurate as that of the German vehicles.
While in the Hangar, select the tank whose characteristics you want to see. Click - in the new horse you will see a detailed description of the selected machine.
The first column displays the installed modules: engine, weapon, turret and suspension. You can improve these modules in the "Packages" section. To get there, being on the "Tanks" tab and selecting the desired vehicle, press the button.
The next three columns show the level of manning of your tank: consumables, equipment and ammunition. To purchase them, select a tank in the Garage, click the button and select the appropriate item in the drop-down menu. Equipment is sold only for silver, while equipment and shells can be purchased for both silver and in-game gold.
The "Hull Armor" scale displays the thickness of the armor from three sides (forehead / sides / stern). A tank's toughness means its "health" - the amount of damage it takes to destroy it. For example, the T-15 has less durability and thinner armor than the M26 Pershing.
If the scale of any characteristics of the tank is not completely filled, this means that you can still purchase the next module pack, which will improve these indicators.
Additional information about each vehicle can be found on the official portal in the "Tank Science" section.
Good luck on the battlefields!
