Wargaming.net® Presents Heavy Tanks in New Gameplay Trailer


Wargaming.net® is glad to announce the release of a new gameplay trailer for its highly-anticipated massively multiplayer online game World of Tanks that has recently entered its closed beta phase #2.

The trailer demonstrates the game’s most powerful fighting vehicles - heavy tanks - showcasing their features in dynamic gameplay footage staged on WWII era battlegrounds. The video gives insight into heavy tanks’ tactics in action and focuses on military characteristics of legendary Maus, Tiger I, KV and IS-7.

Heavy tanks accomplish a wide variety of objectives on the battlefield that range from defending the base and containing hostile advances to supporting attacks of medium allies and disrupting enemy defense lines.

“We are proud of the rich tank collection the game offers and heavy vehicles are our main boast, “says Nick Katselapov, producer of World of Tanks. “They are powerful multipurpose machines of destruction that all our players are dreaming of. However, they are by no means “uber” units in the game as a well-organized squad of medium tanks can literally pulverize a heavy counterpart.”
