Hello, friends! The developers are once again delighting us with an interesting update and a new game mode called The Art of Strategy, which will take place from April 21 to May 4, 2022. Surprisingly, players will have to try themselves in the role of a strategist, where the game takes on a completely different genre, strategy. In this mode, the player can also fight against other players, but in a different format. Since the familiar third-person view is available individually, and the main view is a bird’s-eye view.
According to the results of successful battles, all tankers can receive unique gifts. Such as unique crew members, 5 tankers in total. Lots of in-game credits, stripes and medals, as well as unique camouflage styles for tanks. The most valuable rewards will of course be crew members, credits are probably in second place. Although, as anyone, it definitely won’t be superfluous. In addition, the game mode can deliver a lot of fun.
The role of “Tank man”, in the game World of Tanks.
In the Art of Strategy mode, all players can be on different sides. You can fight from an ordinary tanker to a unique mode, a strategist. In normal mode, in the role of a tanker, everything is simple, leaving your hangar on tanks of level 10 and fighting with the enemy. Only in contrast to the usual battles of “Free Mode”, tankers will face an enemy consisting of tanks and additional guns.
To go into battle as a tanker, you need to select a level 10 vehicle that was researched in the tank development tree. You need to act carefully and coordinate the support of allied equipment from the team. You will have to fight off enemy tanks and enemy support guns. Basically, the whole process of the battle, as a tanker, is very similar to the usual battle in Free mode, with the exception of guns in the form of bunkers.
The guns act as bunkers and cannot move around the map. Some of the guns can attack and damage tanks or modules, while other structures play the role of reconnaissance. In any case, they represent a great danger to the entire team.
In some cases, attacking at random will be an effective solution to defeat the strategist. Since the “Strategist” will not be able to place many support guns, and the tanks can be placed in different directions. At the same time, support weapons have a certain sight radius, range, and gun reload time. Therefore, pushing one direction with the whole team will be more effective.
The role of “Strategist”, in the game World of Tanks.
At the moment, this type of battle is unique in the World of Tanks game and combines many game genres. Players can control tanks under the control of artificial intelligence with the support of auxiliary weapons. The main type of fighting takes place from a bird’s eye view.
Sometimes, if necessary, strategists can switch the view from a bird’s eye view to a third-person view. To switch to the standard battle mode, you need to select a tank and take it under your own control. In this case, the strategist can choose the best tactics and deal good damage to the enemy if he plays well. But you should not forget about the main mode of the strategist, since you need to control the battlefield.
Before the battle, the strategists plan their further military operations. You have 60 seconds to plan. During this time, you need to have time to place defensive structures in special places and place tanks. If the player manages to meet earlier, when arranging orgies, then it will be possible to set the movement route for tanks.
Entering the battle for the “Strategist”, in the game World of Tanks.
From April 21 to April 24, players can enter the battle as a strategist without spending additional currencies. For such a game, only one 1v1 mode is available, strategist against strategist. This was done so that players could understand the principle of the game in the new mode “The Art of Strategy”.
In all other cases, going out as a strategist will require certain in-game currencies in the form of reports and orders. For example, to play as a strategist in 1v7 mode, you need 100 reports, and in 1v1 mode, 100 orders. You can get such currencies from completed special tasks.
Some lucky ones can be rewarded with free access to the battle for the strategist. But, such cases are rare, as there will be plenty of willing players. However, those lucky ones could be players who stood in line for a long time, and the combat searcher could not pick up a team.
The complexity of the game for the “Strategist” is the management of combat units. You need to remember the combinations of buttons and understand the principle of control. Then the issuance of orders will be more efficient. However, at the beginning of the game there will be a lot of “Dummies”, which most likely can mix up the buttons on the keyboard and give the wrong order to the tank.
Combat modes “Strategists”.
1×1 mode as a “Strategist”, in the game World of Tanks.
Includes fights between strategists 1 on 1. Each player has access to the same tools to prepare the battle. These tools can be tanks and defensive weapons. The difference between strategist players is that there are many options on the battlefield. For example, a strategist can choose 3 defensive weapons out of 6 and place them in the desired positions. The situation is the same with tanks, different tanks can meet on the battlefield.
In this mode, strategists must fight under almost the same conditions. The essence of fighting is to defeat the enemy or capture the base. To capture the base, you need to reach the capture point with tanks and after 60 seconds the enemy base can be captured. But to defeat the opponents will need to destroy all enemy tanks. In this case, it is absolutely not necessary to destroy the defensive structures.
1×7 mode as a “Strategist”, in the game World of Tanks.
In this mode, the strategic player fights with 7 tank players. The task is to destroy enemy tanks, protect your base and capture the enemy base. To help against the tankers there will be defensive towers, guns, bunkers and of course tanks. Of all 6 types of defensive structures, only 3 types can be taken to the battlefield. Each type of defensive structures can have a different number of guns from 2 to 4 pieces.
The strategist can win if he destroys all enemy tanks or captures the enemy tank base. At the same time, the tankers do not have defensive structures and, on the one hand, it may seem that capturing the base will be simple. But, since 7 players are playing against a strategist, their coordination of actions can be better.
However, the strategist’s main tactic will be to hold his own base. Since there are cover guns and tanks that are easier to control in a waiting position. Playing actively as a strategist against other 7 players can be tricky.
Conclusion on the new mode “The Art of Strategy”, in the game World of Tanks.
The developers have many times pleased the players with the introduction of new game modes. This allows you to diversify World of Tanks and increase the interest in the game on the part of the players. The “Art of Strategy” mode allows you to conduct a battle in a mixed genre of strategy and action. At the same time, in addition, players can enrich themselves with credits and valuable rewards, such as unique crew members.
