United Kingdom



The UK was the third nation added to World of Tanks on the Xbox 360 in the late beta, arriving shortly before launch. British tanks trend toward low caliber guns with high fire rates, good gun depression, and gun handling. Their mediums and heavies have good turret armor, but with the exception of mid-tier heavies, they sacrifice armor for mobility. Their tank destroyers are the exact opposite, with excellent armor starting at tier V, though they favor low caliber guns as well. With exception of artillery and the FV215b 183, no guns on the tree have a caliber greater than 120mm. Other British weaknesses include poor hull armor, and their advantage on mobility diminishes in later tiers. The same can be said of the tank destroyer line's armor, as increasing size of weak spots and higher skill levels in the upper tiers gradually push them away from the front line.

British tanks are recommended for moderately experienced players. A word of caution: this nation of tanks starts out easy, but becomes less forgiving the higher the tier the player reaches, so fast skill development is necessary for a new player to do well.
