Commanders!
Update 2.0 brought a new chapter to World of Tanks with the arrival of brand-new Tier XI vehicles. These are not just upgrades to existing branches—they're a bold leap forward.
Tier XI combines raw engineering with special mechanics: secondary weapons, enhanced ramming, progressive autoloaders, and more. Each of these machines is tougher, smarter, and deadlier than anything that came before.
