World of Tanks news » May's Light Tank and Artillery Week

Bundles | Specials/Discounts | Missions

It's time for teamwork in fast light tanks and powerful artillery! Check out the top five "Dos and Don'ts" in each featured vehicle class!

Light Tanks

Do

  1. Scout and spot the enemy -- you are your team's eyes
  2. Use equipment like Camouflage Nets, Binocular Telescopes and Coated Optics, and Crew Skills like Camouflage, Recon and Situational Awareness to maximize your view range and camouflage
  3. Watch the minimap and stay aware of changes to allied and enemy locations at all times
  4. Relocate if you can be more useful in other areas
  5. Exploit breaks in the enemy lines

Don't

  1. "YOLO Scout" (Rush out early and in the open)
  2. Fire while in a bush, You'll lose its camouflage benefit!
  3. Focus solely on passive (Static/camouflaged) scouting when a more active role can be useful
  4. Use scouting as an excuse not to engage the enemy at opportune moments
  5. Brawl with other tanks; "Hit and Run" tactics are the safest way to cause damage to enemies

Artillery

Do

  1. Mount equipment that improves your vehicle: Gun Rammers, Gun Laying Drives and Camouflage nets can be helpful
  2. Train your Crew and progress their Skills in shooting and concealment like Camouflage, and Sixth Sense to maximize your effectiveness!
  3. Learn the most effective positions on each map to engage the enemy from
  4. Keep an eye on where your scouts are moving and be ready to hit the enemies they spot for you
  5. Communicate your intentions to your team by using the "Targeting" (Default "T" Key) and "Reloading" (Default "F8" Key)

Don't

  1. Stay in the same place for the whole match
  2. Stay in the same place after firing -- beware counter-battery fire
  3. Rush your shots -- your reload is too lengthy to afford a miss, so wait for that aiming circle to close
  4. Focus on supporting one map area to the detriment of others.
  5. Miss a chance to secure an enemy's destruction -- a tank with 1 HP can do just as much damage as that same tank at full health.
