Call of Tanks
Call of Tanks
In games where you get to ride in vehicles, you can only hope that the selection will include some kind of tank like the ones you command in Call of Tanks. You'll find yourself in command of a small base in a desert region where you're trying to hold control of a territory. Of course, there are other bases also trying to take over and are just as determined as you. It's an isometric real-time strategy game where you have to send teams of drivers of various vehicles in order to take the fight to the enemy base while defending your own in order to claim victory.
About Call of Tanks
Despite how popular takes are in popular media, especially in video games, there's not much that we know about them. The average person would probably be unlikely to name one kind of tank, but this game can definitely teach you something about them. You have quite a large roster of tanks and other vehicles that you can see how they work in tandem. This is where the strategy comes into place because vehicles are costly and you don't want to blow all your cash on spamming the same tank. You'll see quickly how a balanced force is the key to victory.

Call of Tanks is a real-time strategy game with zoomed-out view that allows you to make decisions from afar with the mouse as you survey with the keyboard.

While many battles are fought with soldiers, here you'll be fighting exclusively with vehicles. Each level puts your base on side and the enemy base opposite it. You fight by selecting vehicles to spawn from the menu in the lower right corner. To place them on the field, click and then drag the selected vehicle into the spawn are in front of your base. Each vehicle costs money and your total amount is tracked above the vehicle menu.
The vehicles will then automatically make their way to the enemy base, attacking any enemies they encounter. While in the enemy base, your vehicles will attack until its structures until its destroyed or they are. You'll win once the enemy Command Center is destroyed and lose if your own is destroyed.
Tips and Tricks
It may be tempting to just spam the strongest tanks you have, but your finances are quite limited so spend wisely. You should also adjust your strategy based on what the mission parameters are, some having harsh restrictions. Also, try to spawn vehicles as close together as possible so that they support each other and attack more effectively.
