Warnings

World of Tanks is a multiplayer third-person, first-person, bird's-eye view and top-down view vehicle combat and MMO game in the World of Tanks series.

Key points

No cross-platform play with console or mobile players - World of Tanks Console and World of Tanks Blitz are completely separate games.
Has two clients for download: SD and HD. The difference is that the SD client takes up less disk space and doesn't offer maximum resolution textures.[1]
