Tanks are giant pieces of metal with wheels and loaded with explosives and that makes them prime subject matter for battle games like Tanks Battle Field. As a tank commander, you've been given several different tank models to construct your own personal tank squad. Be warned as you're not the only one trying to create the most powerful and perfect tank squadron. No two tank forces can share the field and only the toughest tanks will survive. This is where your strategic mind comes into the picture so that you can lead your tanks to sweep the enemy and roll over their metal debris.

About Tanks Battle Field

There's no shortage of tank games in the world, but many capture the fact that it's difficult to command a whole squad of tanks. This game is a strategy game where you can have a sizable squadron that can work against you just as well as with you. As you play, you need to determine whether you trust in your direct control enough to win with a small squad or if you believe in strength in numbers. You need to figure out what feels most natural to you and what feels right when it comes to control. Playing enough may make you realize certain things about your play style.

The goal of the game depends on which game mode you choose. In Capture The Flag, your tanks have to capture the enemy's flag and bring it back to your flag to score points. In Deathmatch, you need to eliminate the enemy team. Both modes have time limits that will lead to a game over if you don't complete the task before they run out.

Before the game begins, you get to choose which mission to undertake. Each mission has its own rules for playing and winning. You have a limited number of points to make your squad of tanks with some tanks costing more than others. You can also choose which game mode you'd prefer to play on the map. When the mission begins, your tanks will spawn on one side of the map while the enemies spawn on the other. You can keep track of everyone using the map in the top left corner.

When you're controlling one tank, your other tanks will move automatically. If you're playing Capture The Flag, you can assign different roles to your tanks on the mission screen. When you destroy enemy tanks, they can drop supplies to replenish your tanks. When the tank you're controlling is destroyed, you'll automatically be moved to another still-active tank. If all of your tanks are destroyed, there's a bit of a respawn time before all of your tanks come back.

You can also find destructible crates in the field that you can destroy with your tank's weapons to get supply drops. The mission ends when either you complete the objective or the timer runs out.

Tips and Tricks

It can take some time to get used to jumping around tanks since you can't choose which tank you want specifically. In Capture The Flag, you should always have as many tanks attacking as they are defending. In Deathmatch, it is wise to travel in flanking formation instead of in groups which can make you an easier target.
