Today as part of their ongoing ‘Explaining Mechanics’ YouTube series, Wargaming.net released a really useful video for tank commanders who more often than not find their vehicles destroyed on the battlefield.

Focusing on tanks’ survivability and increasing the odds of living through engagements, the video discusses in-depth methods to nullify threats or at least lessen the effects when under fire. Emphasizing on understanding the basic principles of angling and using your tanks’ unique traits, the video also shared some advanced tricks to take down your enemies as well.

Everything taught here can be applied to both PC and console versions of the free-to-play game and if you are thinking of trying it out on a dated PC, well you’re in luck as Update 1.0 makes the game playable on an impressive state even on older machines.

World of Tanks is a free-to-play game by Wargaming.net. You can download the game for free from their client here or just head over to your respective console market to download it.
