| BT-2 | Agile scout platform for fast repositioning |
| T-60 | Light combat vehicle with improved survivability |
| T-127 | Armored light tank designed for frontline skirmishes |
| T-34 | Versatile medium armor delivering dependable firepower |
| KV-2 | Heavy breakthrough vehicle equipped with high-impact ordnance |
| KV-3 | Reinforced heavy assault platform built to withstand intense bombardment |
| IS-2 | Late-stage heavy flagship boasting superior protection and firepower |
Tips and strategy
- Maintain constant lateral movement between cannon shots to make your tank a difficult target for enemy gunners.
- Prioritize mobile infantry and swift support vehicles before engaging heavily armored boss targets.
- Gather every gold drop during skirmishes so your garage funds keep pace with increasing enemy difficulty.
- Save emergency air support repair kits for demanding boss confrontations rather than spending them during initial skirmishes.
- Deploy aerial strikes when facing clusters of fortified structures to clear a safe path forward.
