Featured Premium Tanks
Tetrarch
![]() |
The Tetrarch is a Soviet tier 2 premium light tank.
It was provided to the USSR from Britain through the Lend-Lease Act. The tank was available as a 2012 New Year’s gift from Wargaming to all players for a limited time with the release of the 0.7.1 patch. The Tetrarch has also appeared in gift shop bundles on rare occasions.
It is well-armed, fast on firm ground and has a powerful radio. This is balanced by very weak armor, poor view range, and sluggish cross country and traverse performance.
Pros:
- Excellent acceleration and top speed allows this tank to reach good spot positions very fast
- Great traverse speed
- Excellent penetration, accuracy and damage
- Good turret traverse speed
- Good signal range, stay in the near of your team while scouting for spotting damage
- Fantastic (the typical tier 2) matchmaking
Cons:
- Poor armor
- Poor view range
- Sluggish traverse
- HE shells deal high damage

M3 Light
![]() |
The M3 Light is a Soviet tier 3 premium light tank. It is currently not available from the in-game store. It was previously available to new players for completing the in-game training course. It's slightly better than a stock M3 Stuart, but inferior to one that's been fully upgraded. Even so, don't underestimate this tank, as it still has decent top speed and a fast-firing cannon.
Pros:
- Excellent top speed
- Good turret traverse speed and elevation arc
- Good rate of fire
- Does not encounter tier 5 battles, unlike the regular Stuart
Cons:
- Poor damage and penetration
- Poor view and signal range

Pros:

T1E6
![]() |
The T1E6 is a tier 2 American premium light tank. It has a great max speed (48km/hr) and rate of fire (42.86r/m). So, hit-and-run strategies work best for this tank.
Like most light tanks, the T1E6 has weak armor. This tank has a bad view range, so it does not perform well as a scout. For best results, team up with tanks that have stronger armor so you can utilize the T1E6's firing speed.
Pros:
- Accelerates quickly
- No cost for AP ammo
- Maneuvers well
- Good rate of fire
- Satisfactory reload time
Cons:
- Not a strong damage-dealer
- Weak armor
- Low accuracy
- Limited view range

The T7 Combat Car is a USA tier 2 premium light tank. It has good speed and decent maneuverability. It is equipped with an auto-loader gun which enables it to deal high amounts of burst damage. However, it comes with a fairly long reload time.
Pros:
- Moves at a decent speed
- Turns fast
- Fires quickly
Cons:
- Low damage and penetration
- Rather long reload time
- Weak armour

Light Mk. VIC
![T7 Combat Car]() |
The Light Mk. VIC is a fun tier 2 light tank from the British tech tree. It is capable of firing around 100 shots a minute through its 15mm BESA machine gun - which can take down tanks with weak armour. Although it takes time to accelerate, controling the tank's movement is relatively easy, so mobility isn't a problem. If you're looking for a good scouting tank, this is it!

Type 64
![]() |
The Type 64 is a Tier 6 Chinese Light Tank.
Its top speed at 72km/hr and excellent signal range makes it a great scout. This tank is able to run circles even around light tanks, so use the manoeuvrability to your advantage.
Be careful, though. The Type 64 has extremely thin armour on the front, sides, and rear. One of the best defence strategies is to keep moving and avoid getting hit. Target enemies with weaker armour if you wish to reap a few kills.
Pros:
- Excellent speed
- Manoeuvres easily
- Good gun depression
- Decent view range
- Great signal range
Cons:
- Weak armour
- Slow turret traverse speed
- Poor accuracy
- Radio operator required
- Usually matched with higher tiers

T-34-3
![]() |
The T-34-3 is a Tier 8 Chinese medium tank.
This tank is a variant of the T-34-2, a Chinese credit tank and also its successor in the real world. Like all improved variants, the T-34-3 outshines its older brother in every single way in the game, featuring improved armour, weapons and mobility.
The main gun of the T-34-3 is undoubtedly the highlight of the tank, as it is taken directly from the 112. This means that the T-34-3 can potentially - with the use of premium HEAT rounds - achieve the same 250 penetration rating as the heavy tank, which is more than enough to pierce the armour of any medium tank in the field.
Because of its strengths, most players consider this a worthy alternative to the Type 59 medium tank.
Pros:
- Tough turret
- Great damage per shot
- Very high penetration with gold ammo
- Good mobility
Cons:
- Abysmal gun depression
- Poor aim time and accuracy
- Average penetration with AP ammunition
- Long reload time for a medium tank
- Low DPM

112
![]() |
The 112 is a Tier 8 Chinese heavy tank.
Most people will agree that the 112 is like a distant cousin of the IS-6 due to an approximately equal amount of armour and gun performance. However, there are some key differences that separate one from the other; its armour is slightly thicker and is distributed more towards the front rather than the sides, enabling it to withstand more hits in a head-on attack.
The gun's performance is equally impressive, which is enhanced by the premium HEAT rounds that it can fire. With it, one can achieve a powerful 250 penetration rating, which can demolish all but the toughest tanks in the game. As the speed of the 112 is adequate at best, the tank is most suited for brawling in close range, where its armour and armament can outlast the enemy.
Pros:
- Good alpha damage
- Extremely effective frontal armour, effectively 240mm thick
- Thick turret is cast and rounded, making it very tough
- Good straight line speed, can keep up with some medium tanks
- HEAT ammunition is very effective
Cons:
- Shoots rather slowly, considering the IS-2 has the same gun, is a tier lower and shoots faster
- Very thin side armour, and cannot sidescrape as well as the IS-6
- Very weak lower front plate is easily penetrated
- Susceptible to both fuel tank and engine damage causing fires
- Engine power is rather low, making acceleration sluggish
- Bad tank traverse makes it turn badly
- Poor accuracy, typical of Russian 122mm guns and their derivatives
- Terrible aim time, also typical of Russian 122mm guns and their derivatives
