Guide. How to play WoT Blitz? How to win? Tips and tricks! 

WG: Releasing the video Players: Finally after 5 years...now make the Newbies watch this vid. WG: 🤔

0:02 -> if you have the KV-2 in your garage, you don't need to learn the game, as *the game learns you*

Tip for newbies: Don't yolo into a group of enemies thinking that you will beat them like in the movies.

Tips for new comers: don’t block your teammates guns or bump into them as this will cause a miss or their shell to not damage a possible enemy, also map awareness helps, if you see your tanks across the map get taken out expect a flank

Expectations: Omg my teammates are so good their protecting me since I'm still new and has no skill Reality: OMG STOP BLOCKING MY SHOT DON'T LEAVE ME HERE IM DYING

Alternative title: Tanks can actually shoot and move in wotb

"you have a kv2 in your garage" smasher: *you dare ignore me*

Remember to move as much as possible. Only stay stationary if shooting for better accuracy and penetration. There’s a reason why tracks and engines can be upgraded. Unless you know how to use them properly, any special shells might not help you as much. There’s a reason why it takes so long for you to get a Tier V tank and why it takes super long to get to a Tier VI and above tank, as the game is actively encouraging you to learn the game’s mechanics at that level. With a tank that’s Tier IV or below it is very easy for you to assume you are “good” when in reality you are just going up against some bots and maybe some real players. It is important to never be cocky and run into a 1v(insert tank amount here) fight. With one or two other tanks, you have a chance of scraping by with possibly some heavy damage, however until you have truly learned the game, never attempt a one versus many tank fight. Any loss to a team, no matter how insignificant, is one chance for the enemy team to quickly wipe the floor with your team. Stick alongside your teammates, only go for a lone wolf style of gameplay if you are absolutely sure you can make decent contributions to your team and survive with minimal damage. Capture points do exist, and it takes approximately a minute and forty seconds to capture assuming you do not leave the capture circle. USE THIS TO YOUR ADVANTAGE. If your teammates all rush into the fight and are having their scuffle, there’s a 50/50 chance your team or the enemy team lose a large number of tanks. If your team loses a large number of tanks and you and a handful of others are left, you can win the game and turn the tables by simply capturing the point. Don’t complain about how expensive premium tanks are. More often than not, events will almost always have some kind of premium tank, generally Tier IV-V. Train your skills and get those free premium tanks!

First of all, a big thumbs up for making and releasing this video. I really appreciate you taking the time to make a tutorial for new players. But I think you are trying to pack too much info into one piece of content. Hopefully you will do more detailed videos on blocking damage, ammo types, gun handling, camo and so on.

Many CC’s will be pleased, that this wideo was released

"Medium tanks commonly feature strong turret armor" My leopard 1: *sweats nervously*

I love how the tank used when he kept instantly dying was an AMX, I can't help rushing into the whole team and dying myself. It's just so FAST!

Im a wot blitz player thats played for 4 years and this video is a great source of inspiration and knowledge for new players i recommend it

Wg: makes this video Also wg: what do you want now? Everyone: I don't know I never thought I'd make it this far

"if your fps drops below 30, lower your settings." me, who gets 17 fps with ultra-low graphics:

Me: hiding behind the bush Random team mate: OmY GoD wHy YoU cAmPiNg bRo

if you are facing a tog 2, do a side scraping technique, it will bounce the togs shells as your allies will use your cover to attack It helps a lot for me.

Finally after 5 years...

Imagine watching this video after playing 6 years and ur now not playing anymore

WG making this video* The enemy players: "Am I a joke to you"

This will definetly help other people struggling with the game, and hopefully would improve my teams...

wargaming, please link this video in game with like a 20 gold reward so players will watch it!

like how everyone watching is already an experienced player praising war-gaming for this

Finally a tutorial video, after that many years :D

A Tip about the Tech Tree: There is no such thing as a “bad” tech tree, but all of them play differently. The most common are US, USSR, Germany, and the UK. I’ll focus on heavies for this. American heavies are great at damage and soaking up damage in lower tiers. I would highly recommend the Yoh line of tanks, mostly for the auto loader and high DPM. Be aware that not all heavies are made equal, and sometimes lack good frontal armor. The maneuverability of these tanks are also great and can be fast enough to fight German and USSR heavies with relative ease. The USSR is damage focused, with better armor to boot, but at the cost of maneuverability. These tanks are great at standing still and soaking damage, while outputting more to their enemy. The KV and IS line are great baby’s first heavies, and with enough skill, you can almost nullify its lack of horsepower with good positioning. Germany is what you get when you smash the US and USSR. These tanks offer good maneuverability and armor, but at the cost of DPM. German heavies towards tier 8 and 9 and up to 10 are absolute damage sponges. As long as you put front towards enemy, you’ll be fine. However, there is one black sheep being the Tiger 1, which can be good in a down tier, but horrendous in a uptier. In most cases, the Tiger 1 will act more like a glorified Tank destroyer, and will not be as good if paired with Russian heavies on the enemy team. Lastly, the UK is a DPM focused tree, that has armor and maneuverability as a bonus. These take the most skill and require a bit more game sense to play. But, you are rewarded with good damage output and great maneuverability, at the cost of armor, which is mediocre at best, and horrendous at its worse. Take your time with this branch and know your map skills.

Something from my own personal experience: - Going alone is fine, as long as you know when to retreat. If you face the entire enemy team or are heavily outnumbered, it's time to withdraw. - Taking the flanks on a map is very important. It will allow you to corner a team that sticks together, forcing them to defend all sides. - Target damaged tanks together. Focused damage will have a bigger impact on the game, since it reduces the damage output of the enemy team. - Know your own vehicle. Know its weak points, its strong points, reload times, etc.. It gives you an idea as to how you best play them in game. There's intel in game, but also visual intel on sites like Blitz Hangar.

First. Happy to see Blitz finally releasing tutorial videos for newbies

I really like this,this really helped me progress from Tier5 to tier 6.thx a lot WG!

I actually needed this . Thanks WG

You finally made Tutorial video for newbies, good job WG

HEAVY: *Thicc armour* *AMX 50B line:* _Nervously sweating_

Thank you for the tips and tricks! Now i can show skills on the battlefield.

Hello! I have been getting quite bored lately, all that I have been playing, for the past few weeks, is Call of Duty: Mobile. I have decided to install a “new” game to play, I wanted this “new” game to be vastly different from the First Person Shooter genre, while keeping the same fast-paced action that I have become accustomed to, that is how I came across World of Tanks: Blitz. I thought that I should do myself a favour and watch a guide video on World of Tanks: Blitz before I install the game and begin to play it and that is how I came across this video. This guide video is quite well made, it is quirky yet informative, I enjoyed watching it. It certainly has helped me prepare for my first few battles, I am sure it has done the same for other people too. Thank you, very much!

Another tip is this: check the enemy team’s tank composition. It’ll give you a very good idea which tanks are dangerous i.e premium heavies with autoloaders or light tanks that will most likely flank around the whole map. Can’t tell you how many times heavies bait and lights bash with no one guarding sides or rear.

Man the whole guy in Asia server need to watch this

Ok not gonna lie this video helped, hopped into a game with the Matilda and used the tips about the front of the hill and holy cow it’s awesome

Thank you for the tips, WoTB. This is sure to improve my gaming skills

tip: sidescraping is useful when your tank's frontal armor is low, sidescraping or angling your armor may decrease the chances of an enemy penetrating you

Now I know how I need to play my new M4/FL10 thx wot b for this nice tank and video!

Finally a video that has more impact on the players !

considering the giant surge of 30 and 40 percent players in higher tiers (update 5.5's handy work) this video was LOOOOOOONG overdue

If you’re in a boxy-looking heavy: ANGLE, ANGLE, ANGLE!

I love that disclaimer at the beginning

Thanks for this video, I'm playing this too just started yesterday but got alot of victories using a BT-7

if you have kv2, never use ap, use he only and trust in the hand od Stalin, no need to aim

"You have kv2 in ur garage" Smasher: Cries inside* Me: FINALLY AFTER YEARS

just seeing that the first tip is "its easier to win in a group" makes me very happy and somewhat hopeful for the next "generation" of players

Now for the tips that aren’t as obvious but will be very useful. 1. Make sure you are having fun. If you aren’t, maybe take a break or play something else for a little bit. Angry will make you play worse. (Little more on this at the end). 2. Don’t forget to use equipment on your tanks to give a better combat advantage. Two teams with identical tanks might not be equally as powerful if one team has fully equipped tanks and the other doesn’t. Use this to give you a better chance at winning. 3. Always carry some premium ammo. 10-15% should of your total ammo enough . It’s better to have it and not need it, instead of needing it and not having it. 4. You want to use the best consumables when ever possible, better to spend those extra credits and win a game then to cheap out and pay the repair costs instead. 5. Speaking of credits, once you start to reach the higher tiers, paying for all that equipment, ammo and consumables (and repairs) gets a lot harder. To avoid this becoming a serious issue, you might want to invest in a tier 6 or 7 premium that’s good. These tanks earn much more credits and at this tier repair costs are not as bad. TRUST ME GET A PREMIUM if u want to play long term. 6. Try not to get tilted, always try and use each game as a learning experience. Every time you lose or die, think what’s 1 thing you could have done different. If you played perfectly and your team was the problem, don’t get angry and become toxic in chat. Forget the game and move on. You will likely play hundreds/thousands of games, with thousands of bad teammates. We can’t avoid them. But we can prevent them from ruining our mood by just moving on to the next battle.

DON'T FORGET TO DOWLOAD THE GAME WORLD OF TANK BLITZ

Ammoracks are usually located on either the sides, back, or base of the turret. Shoot those areas to make reloading slower for them and potentially destroy the tank immediately

So after watching this video, the guide is pretty spot-on it covers up most of the basics which is suitable for new players but there is more to learn from a lot of the different characteristics of tanks, tactics in battle, and the game's mechanics to use to your advantage and win battles. This is a good video for any players who are new to the game or need pro tips and guides to play it right. Tip: Bushes help your concealment or make you stealthy but it can go more stealthy, use the bush to spot targets, look through your scope and roll back until the bush is not transparent (not see-through) fire and you won't be spotted. Tip: It's never too bad to carry some premium ammo, you never know when you need it.

this video actually helped me in some way i don't know how

Nobody: uses AP to shoot the Maus and not penetrating the cheeks in his medium tank Pro: let me switch to APCR/Heat/ AP (gold shells) Maus: ah sht here we go again

Im glad there's teaching bots the baisics everyone needs to know

2:54 You should've included long reload time, that's what gets me in battles most of the time and the rotation of the turret.

thanks, I needed that

Finaly wg spoted noobs, bots in game so they now did better tutorial

"Medium tanks typically boast strong turret armor" *As the M48 Patton pens the obj. 140 in the turret.

Thanks for the basics

Very helpfull! Thanks!!

4:12 "this is called blocking damage" thank you,Mr. Obvious

people gotta learn to not show their sides. even high tierstill show them. USE YOUR FRONT DAMMIT

great! finally making new players learn!

Thank you I just got a game with 2654 damage and 7 kills when I watched the replay like 2 times then I realized I did everything you said, and my tank was the Triumphant I was like meh, good but not i was mostly bad i dont know if i was luck but now im happy about that game...THANK YOU

I REALLY appreciate the effort in trying to teach unexperienced players the basics, keep it up

Now this, does put a smile on my face.

This is really nice!

It will take hundreds of battles to learn the flow of battle on each map. As each map is traversed in pretty much the same ways every time your on that map. People play certain maps certain ways and everyone tends to follow suit as you will find out. If you notice the enemy team traveling together make sure your team is split evenly around them, it's best to put a enemy between multiple guns than to have all your guns threatening only one direction. Meaning if your team has two tabks left and the enemy has 1 put that tank between you and make sure you actually get to a shooting solution where you and your teammate are shooting him. If someone is going to ram you, you can reverse and it lessens the damage if the tank ramming you is heavier than yours. If your tank is heavier than the enemy rammer go towards him at max speed you will do way more damage to them than they do yo you. When going up against TDs, if you can catch them off guard you can scrape up along side them and put rounds into them and there's not much they can do about it as you control their movement, turning is restricted by your tank, if they move forward do the same but dont let them turn by countering their turn with yours etc their gun sticks out the front and can barely aim, as long as you stay parallel a td can't do crap, easy kill.

#1 Advice - don't drive off all by yourself, also known as "no yolo"

Should've said unless you have the smasher in your garage rather than the kv2

One of the most important things is know your opponents tanks and whether it is fast, has fast turret/hull trevers, a good gun reaload, so on and so on. This is probably most important in light tanks so that you know what to engage and what not to engage.

Thxx, it really help me!

2:22 upcoming event and battle pass

Let’s all get a Droodles reaction to this. He’s been waiting for this video to release!

Tip: don't go all Fury style fighting a higher tier tank with lower tier tank, and look through the aiming mode to check for the weakest part. And try to communicate with other players Note: I don't have a KV - 2 but a KV - 1 and this tip is the way I play :P

Thank You, for the guide

So to keep it short (not really) 1. Don't show your sides and back of your tank as they are weak. 2. Try to hide the down plate on the front, because that is (most of the time) a weak spot. 3 as a light tank, any hit will be a penetration into you, just not showing your side doesn't help. You have to outmanoeuvre or outspot your enemies. 4. Do not go afk 5. Stay to your side in the battle. Mediums and lights do not have enough pen to deal with heavies easily 6. Watch your team, and the enemy teams positions to help where help is needed 7. Use your armor correctly, pike noses should be aimed straight towards an enemy veichle, regular armor is more effective at an angle. 8. Use consumables correctly 9. Take your time to aim 10. Know when to use auto aim or regular aim 11. STICK TO YOUR TEAM 12. Use free xp if you don't want to be in pain grinding stock tanks

The moment we’ve all been *truly* waiting for. Now shove this video into newbies’ throats or we sue.

Side scrapes are affective and never leave your tracks exposed as the enemy can break them with shells. This is some of the knowledge I have so I thought I would share it lol.

Tanks for the help

*Some helpful tips:* If you have a KV-2 or Smasher... use HE when hitting tanks from side or rear (its very effective if u do it right). Not all tanks can be hit with HE effectively, so use AP shells instead :D

Give 10 degrees to patton LMAO

Thanks for the help.

Omg this helped so much!!!

"If you have KV-2 in your garage..." KV-2 be like "I'm the best ya know" Smasher : "Don't forget his dad..." Object 252U : "Look who's saying !!!"

Tip: don’t grind multiple tech tree lines unless you have a lot of time. Focus on one line you want and work up to that tier X. Don’t quit a line and start grinding another one either. There is really no bad tech tree tank. But the nation I would recommend for beginners is the U.S.S.R, Germany, or U.S.A.

I am actually new so special thanks to the video and the comments :)

4:50 Me doing that maneuver be like: Hits rocks or building and got shoot from him

3:22 Foch 155 and obj 263: are we a joke to you?

For newcomers I recommend these tank lines: IS-4, T110E5, T110E3(both require skill) Kranvagn a hull down beast T-62A, and Ho Ri, a good td with decent armor and mobility, its best feature is its DPM

Great advice, hard to remember. I usually end up popping around a corner or over a hill into a nest of enemy tanks. That's why I'm still a noub

Fianlly a decent tutorial video for begginers, can't wait to have ACTUAL teams

Yes now I can finally be good!

God dammit why wasn’t this here when I started playing :C

The tips really worked they helped me win

This is helpful, I'm glad I pressed this.

I have FIVE TIPS for y'all Tip 1: Divide the battle into 3 parts. Early Game, Mid Game, End Game Early Game (7:00 - 5:30) The beginning of the battle - occupy key positions. At least 3 shots unless you have a very long reload Mid Game (5:30 and less) The heat of the battle - deal damage. At least 5-6 shots even with a long reload End Game (2-4 tanks alive in total) The outcome is decided - clutch or die last. At least 3 shots even with a long reload Tip 2: Positioning is everything Get in a position that allows you to deal damage without losing your HP Save your f*cking HP, don't be that guy who gets in front of 4 enemies and loses 1,200 HP in a few seconds. Tip 3: know when to engage and disengage In other words, know when to peak, rush, run away, relocate, etc. The minimap and a little bit of common sense will help you with this. Tip 4: Know how to play your tank All tanks have different strengths and weaknesses Here are some rules: GUN Accuracy: Good - Close / Mid-range / Far Fair - Close / Mid-range Bad - Close Penetration: Good - Close / Mid-range / Far Fair - Close / Mid-range Bad - Close Depression: Good - Hills / Minor hills / Flat Fair - Minor Hills / Flat Bad - Flat Reload: Good - independent Fair - independent or support Bad - support Shell Velocity: Good - Close / Mid-range / Far Fair - Close / Mid-range Bad - Close MANEUVERABILITY EP/W + Speed: Good - independent Fair - independent or support Bad - support Flexibility: Good - independent Fair - independent or support Bad - support ARMOR Good - Frontline Fair - Support / Flank Bad - Support / Flank VIEW RANGE Good - spotter Fair - dependent Bad - dependent Tip 5: Don't rage Everyone has bad games, everyone gets bad teammates. It's a part of the game and there's no need to insult people in the chat. Just quit the battle and start a new one, you'll forget about the previous one instantly. I hope this comment helped at least someone lol

3:40 like other tanks they have no armour Sheridan: am I a joke to u?

Good tip: when there is one enemy left, it's better to capture the base, the last enemy will attracted, the enemy tank will roll out to the base that you about to capture, and when the enemy has arrived to the base that you about to capture, and finally you can kill that last enemy

This vid is really helpful
