Light Tanks
Name | Armor Thickness | Description |
T-38 Model 1937 | Front Upper: 9 mm Front Lower: 9 mm Sides Upper: 9 mm Sides Lower: 9 mm Rear: 9 mm Top: 4 mm Bottom: 4 mm | Purchase Price: 21300 Credits / 259 Gold Health Points: 1500 Seats: 1 Armament: 7.62mm MG Additional armaments: - Available Upgrades: A vehicle-mounted chest, containing ammo, or rocket launchers. Usage: the weakest tank in the game - it can't be used to fight off any light tank in the game, because it only uses a 7.62mm MG. It is, however, extremely effective against enemy infantry - and it should be used for that very reason. |
T-26 Model 1933 | Front Upper: 15 mm Front Lower: 15 mm Sides Upper: 15 mm Sides Lower: 15 mm Rear: 15 mm Top: 6 mm Bottom: 6 mm | Purchase Price: 63900 Credits / 669 Gold Health Points: 1500 Seats: 2 Armament: 45 mm cannon Armor Penetration: up to 42mm (80mm with AP rounds). Additional armaments: 7.62mm MG Passenger Armaments: 7.62mm MG Available Upgrades: A vehicle-mounted chest, containing ammo, or rocket launchers. Usage: the T-26 is several times stronger than the earlier model. It has a decent, 45mm cannon, which, with the help of AP rounds, should be able to easily defeat enemy medium tanks. The biggest flaw of this tank is very thin armor. |
BT-7 Model 1937 | Front Upper: 30 mm Front Lower: 22 mm Sides Upper: 13 mm Sides Lower: 13 mm Rear: 13 mm Top: 10 mm Bottom: 6 mm | Purchase Price: 85200 Credits / 859 Gold Health Points: 1500 Seats: 1 Armament: 45 mm cannon Additional armaments: 7.62mm MG Available Upgrades: A vehicle-mounted chest, containing ammo, or rocket launchers. Usage: the BT-7 has good armor, and a decent 45mm cannon, allowing it to easily eliminate enemy light (and some of the medium) tanks. |
Medium Tanks
Name | Armor Thickness | Description |
T-34 Model 1942 | Front Upper: 45 mm Front Lower: 45 mm Sides Upper: 45 mm Sides Lower: 45 mm Rear: 45 mm Top: 20 mm Bottom: 20 mm | Purchase Price: 99400 Credits / 979 Gold Health Points: 2000 Seats: 1 Armament: 76,2mm cannon Armor Penetration: up to80mm Additional armaments: 7,62mm MG Available Upgrades: A vehicle-mounted chest, containing ammo, or rocket launchers. Usage: a very powerful medium tank. It has good armor, allowing it to fight against enemy medium tanks quite evenly, and a powerful 76,2mm cannon, which can easily rip through the armor of a heavy tank (with the proper angle, as well as side from which you attack). |
T-34 Model 1944 | Front Upper: 45 mm Front Lower: 45 mm Sides Upper: 45 mm Sides Lower: 45 mm Rear: 45 mm Top: 20 mm Bottom: 20 mm | Purchase Price: 198800 Credits / 1899 Gold Health Points: 2000 Seats: 2 Armament: 85mm cannon Armor Penetration: up to 100mm Additional armaments: 7,62mm MG Passenger Armaments: 7,62mm MG Available Upgrades: A vehicle-mounted chest, containing ammo, or rocket launchers. Usage: the T-34 has the strongest medium tank cannon in the game, which allows it to easily break through almost every armor - only heavy tanks, positioned frontally are able to withstand attacks from the T-34. Unfortunately, it has the very same armor as the previously described, earlier model. |
Tank Destroyers
Name | Armor Thickness | Description |
SU-85 | Front Upper: 45 mm Front Lower: 45 mm Sides Upper: 45 mm Sides Lower: 45 mm Rear: 45 mm Top: 20 mm Bottom: 20 mm | Purchase Price: 184600 Credits / 1749 Gold Health Points: 2000 Seats: 1 Armament: 76mm cannon Armor Penetration: up to 100mm Additional armaments: - Passenger Armaments: - Available Upgrades: A vehicle-mounted chest, containing ammo, or rocket launchers. Usage: theoretically, it's the same tank as the T-34, because it has the very same cannon, as well as armor values. Unfortunately, it's a lot more vulnerable than the American / German tank destroyers. |
Heavy Tanks
Name | Armor Thickness | Description |
IS-2 Model 1944 | Front Upper: 120 mm Front Lower: 120 mm Sides Upper: 90 mm Sides Lower: 90 mm Rear: 60 mm Top: 20 mm Bottom: 20 mm | Purchase Price: 319500 Credits / 2849 Gold Health Points: 2500 Seats: 2 Armament: 122mm cannon Armor Penetration: up to 150mm Additional armaments: 7,62mm MG Passenger Armaments: 7,62mm MG Available Upgrades: A vehicle-mounted chest, containing ammo, or rocket launchers. Usage: a heavily armored tank, equipped with an immensely powerful cannon - in theory, every enemy tank, even the Tiger II won't be able to stand a chance. It's without a doubt one of the best tanks on the battlefield. |
