Feel the power of a Tank Destroyer

by: Chad -
More On: World of Tanks
We've already learned about light and medium tanks, so today Wargaming.net shows us how effective tank destroyers are.  Watch the video to see common tactics of long range combat and support of your team.  Nick Katselapov, producer of World of Tanks, described these vehicles like this:

“Operating a Ferdinand or SU-152 is like safari hunting. Everything is under control as long as your targets stay at long range and nothing will stop you from picking off a tiger or panther. But as soon as the 'kitties' approach your positions there’s hardly a way to survive.”

I'm anxious to get back into the game now that I've learned how to effectively use all of these.  Have you had a chance to try out the beta for World of Tanks?


Wargaming.net® Delivers New ‘Tank Destroyers’ Gameplay Trailer

The trailer showcases the whole new class of combat vehicles available in the game – tank destroyers - pointing out both their strengths and weaknesses. The video touches upon tactics and strategies the! players driving these monstrous tank-crackers can use to contribute to their side’s win.

Tank destroyers play a crucial part in World of Tanks team-based gameplay. Efficient usage of their enormous firepower and long shooting range supported by smart positioning on the battlefield is the factor that decides the final outcome of almost every fight.

“Operating a Ferdinand or SU-152 is like safari hunting, “says Nick Katselapov, producer of World of Tanks.” Everything is under control as long as your targets stay at long range and nothing will stop you from picking off a tiger or panther. But as soon as the “kitties” approach your positions there’s hardly a way to survive.”
