Seven allies. Seven minutes. Two possible outcomes: victory or defeat. World of Tanks Blitz puts you in command of legendary war machines—including the American M4 Sherman, the German Panther, and wild prototypes that never saw action—to turn loose in bite-size online battles. Work with teammates to destroy opposing tanks head-on, or skirt the battlefield to launch sneak attacks on the enemy base.

Battle with more than 600 upgradable armored vehicles across dozens of maps inspired by decades of historical warfare. Whether you’re positioning your armor on a ridge to rain fire on a chokepoint or leading a last-second charge into the heart of enemy territory, each match is an all-or-nothing blend of skill and strategy that feels like it’ll never be topped—until the countdown begins for the next assault. Roll out!

What we love: How different each tank feels. The German Jg.Pz. E 100 packs a massive punch (one shot from its 170 mm cannon can wipe out half an opponent’s health bar), but it’s slow and lumbering. The Japanese STB-1 is quick and agile with a wicked-fast turret rotation speed—perfect for commanders who like to take their shot and vanish behind cover. Choose a favorite and kit it out with upgrades like improved suspension and a more powerful gun, or fill your garage with options and pick whatever feels right for the battle at hand.

Quick tip: When strategically situated, tanks with strong front-facing turret armor (like the American T29) can hold off superior foes. Tuck your machine behind a hill, a wrecked tank, or anything else that can provide cover, then fire away!

Meet the creator: Founded in Belarus and now headquartered in Cyprus, developer Wargaming blasted to fame with World of Tanks; World of Tanks Blitz is its even faster-paced spin-off. Not content to simply rule terra firma, the company also released World of Warships and World of Warplanes.
