Pre-Battle Briefing


Realistic battle presents a true challenge for your skill. All the usual tips and comforts have remained in regular and rating battles.

Key features of the realistic battle:
  • No armor highlighting is available in Sniper Mode.
  • Armor penetration and damage do not vary: if a vehicle's characteristics mention 148 mm as a shell's average penetration and 340 mm as average damage, then the gun will always penetrate 148 mm of armor and deal 340 HP of damage. An HE shell can cause lower splash damage if it hits more protected parts of armor.
  • Enemy vehicles are not displayed on the minimap.
  • The opponents' vehicles are visible at any distance unless they are hiding behind obstacles.
  • The light bulb doesn't flick on if you've been spotted by an enemy.
  • Markers above the enemy vehicles are displayed only when the enemy falls into the aiming circle.
  • Allies can also see the markers above an enemy vehicle when it's been hit or rammed, or when the “Destroy objective” command has been given.
  • Icons of consumables and damaged modules are not displayed above the opponents' vehicles.
  • The Enemy Spotted ribbon does not show.
  • Battles are held only in Supremacy mode on the Desert Sands, Oasis Palms, Rockfield, Normandy, Dead Rail, and Winter Malinovka maps.
Realistic battles can only be accessed using Tier V-X vehicles. Vehicles that are not allowed in realistic battles: IS-3 Defender; O-47; T28 Defender; Tankenstein; Nameless; Lupus; Predator UM; Gravedigger; Smasher; Edelweiss; Hafen; T6 Dracula; Helsing; WZ Blaze; Vindicator UM; Kuro Mori Mine; Pz.
