World of Tanks: The 7 best tips for beginners

The action MMO “World of Tanks” requires practice and tactical skills. With the best beginner tips you can get started with online gaming.

Tip 1: Beginners should always protect themselves in “World of Tanks”.

In order not to be discovered in “World of Tanks”, protection is necessary. However, pay attention to the following:

Take shelter behind rocks to avoid detection if your tank is small enough. You can also surprise passing tanks and gain an advantage.
A slope is ideal for protection, as tanks coming from above have little chance of hitting you. That's because your angle is perfect. From this position you can defend yourself perfectly.
In the beginning, avoid hills as they are not particularly suitable for protection. Your tank is not accurate here. It also highlights your tank's weak points, making it easier for others to hit you. However, if you have already gained more experience, high altitudes can be used strategically and can be advantageous.

Ramming other tanks in “World of Tanks” can give you a real advantage. However, pay attention to a few things:

You should always ram tanks from the side and also make sure that the tanks are small or at least very weak. Otherwise, refrain from ramming, because if the enemy is too strong, you could potentially risk your own life.
It is always important that your tank is quite heavy and can reach high speed – especially compared to the enemy tank, because this way you can do more damage.
As an alternative to ramming, you can also restrict your opponent with several shots on the chains and weaken them in this way.

Aiming is really important in “World of Tanks” – especially as a newbie.

The best way to aim is to aim your shot not at the tank, but just in front of it. The reason: The tanks move and usually not very slowly. If you fire the shot directly at the tank, it will be gone long before you get to it.
It's best to practice holding before you get into a serious combat situation.
