World of Tanks

Self-propelled guns on show in latest trailer.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

World of Tanks latest video shows a completely different gameplay focusing on the actions of artillery units in battle. The trailer demonstrates the whole variety of SPGs’ tactics and highlights characteristics of the most prominent German and Soviet SPGs such as Hummel and SU-14.

Self-propelled guns support their teams with fire cover and are capable of engaging the enemy units on the opposite side of the battlefield. In cooperation with light tanks artillery vehicles can be a real threat even to the heaviest rivals like Maus or IS-7. Though being very vulnerable to maneuverable light and medium tanks,! SPGs can annihilate any counterpart at short distance by using direct fire.

“We’ve never regretted adding SPGs to our tank fleet as they bring variety into the World of Tanks’ core gameplay, “says Nick Katselapov, producer of World of Tanks. “The game would never look full-blown without the artillery. Playing for the self-propelled gun requires patience and accuracy, while bird’s eye view will attract gamers who are longing for more strategic experience”.
