In World of Tanks, a Dog Tag is your unique “battlefield signature” that displays some of your in-game achievements (along with other bits of info). Your opponents see your Dog Tag right after you destroy their vehicles.
Learn everything about this feature, and then get ready to show the world what you’re made of!

Basics

To see your Dog Tag, go to your Player Account page from the Garage, and then click Personal Dog Tag in the lower-left part of the screen. There you can find all possible Dog Tag elements, view the ones you’ve obtained, customize your Dog Tag, and learn how to unlock elements you don't yet have.

Dog Tags consist of three independent elements:

• Player and clan name: This element cannot be modified. It only changes when you choose a different player name or join another clan. If you have the Anonymizer enabled in the game settings, your opponents will see randomized information in place of your actual player name and clan name.
• Background: This can be obtained by performing certain feats in battle. You can switch backgrounds via the corresponding tab on your Personal Dog Tag screen.
• Engraving: This is the most important part as it displays the main information that your defeated opponents will see. The reverse side of the Dog Tag shows details about the achievement that the engraving was received for, such as the number of battles fought or your victory rate.
• To unlock Engravings, you must meet certain conditions.

Engraving Types

Engravings show statistics of your gaming experience, battle performance, and special battle achievements that you can proudly boast of to other players. There are three types of Engravings, each with its own progression. When you reach a certain stage of the Engraving's conditions, its level automatically increases and its appearance changes. Check out what you can engrave on your Dog Tag below.

Dedication Engravings

These Engravings indicate your long-term game statistics in Random Battles (including Grand Battle). To unlock a Dedication Engraving, you need to meet its initial condition.
Dedication Engravings have 10 levels. If you have already met the conditions for prior levels, they will automatically be considered completed. Your current level will be displayed directly on the Dog Tag.

Skill Engravings

These Engravings display your superior battle mastery. To unlock them, you need to enter the Hall of Fame and play in Ranked battles, and then improve your scores at least once every three months to go up. Once unlocked, higher Skill Engraving levels that reflect your progress will become available for you at the end of each month.
The Dog Tag shows your position in the Hall of Fame on a 10-point scale. It will display your best result for the last three months, excluding the current one. In other words, not only do you need to reach a certain skill level, but you also need to maintain it.

Triumph Engravings

These Engravings highlight exceptional results achieved in Random battles fought in Tier VIII–X vehicles. Triumph Engravings are unlocked after a battle during which a specific challenging condition was met, such as dealing record damage. Similar achievements are available for players in Platoons. There are also certain Engravings that can be earned only by playing in a Platoon.
Triumph Engravings have four levels.

Combined with the backgrounds you can obtain, these Engravings will transform your Dog Tag into a truly unique battle ‘signature’.

Interacting with Dog Tags

• For your destroyed opponents, Dog Tags are displayed in the center of the battle screen.
• For you, by default, Dog Tags of destroyed opponents will pop up above the minimap during battles. Press and hold Ctrl and hover over the opponent's Dog Tag to learn more about the defeated player. However, if you find this distracting, you can turn off the display of Dog Tags in the game settings.
• You can choose to show enemies a random Engraving without your personal statistics. Simply enable this option in the game settings.

Like progressive customization elements, Marks of Excellence, and badges, Dog Tags reflect your passion for the game. We hope you’ll enjoy customizing your very own combat calling card to show your opponents just how good you are at World of Tanks!

Create your own unique Dog Tag and let your enemies know exactly what you're made of!
