'''Key points'''
 +
{{ii}} No cross-platform play with console or mobile players - World of Tanks Console and [[World of Tanks Blitz]] are completely separate games.
 +
{{ii}} 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.<ref>{{Refurl|url=https://worldoftanks.com/en/news/general-news/update-1-0-graphics-settings/|title=Graphics Settings Explained|date=May 2023}}</ref>

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
