World of Tanks: HEAT takes the action to an alternate post-WWII era, where players will take control of hero-enhanced tanks and work as a team to win fast-paced battles.
When the game launches, players will choose from three battlefield roles – Defender, Assault, and Marksman. Each player will command two vehicles, with each vehicle being tailored to its specific role in combat. There will be fifteen vehicles available at launch, and these can be customised with an assortment of modules and equipment.
