We'll tell you a secret. When tanks were little, they dreamed of becoming astronauts. Their dreams have finally come true! From April 10 through April 16, the vehicles in World of Tanks Blitz will break free of the Earth's gravity and explore new horizons in space.
Experience the new Gravity Force mode! Fight in the moon's gravity and float over the lunar surface on the Sea of Tranquility map! Take flight over the battlefield or send your enemies hurtling across the entire map!
Gravity Force battles don't affect your stats.

Briefing
Only Tier V–X vehicles are allowed in this mode.
Space battles are a serious matter. So first off, a mission briefing!
Here are the basic rules for fighting in the moon's gravity:
- In Gravity Force, gravity is several times lower. Just put the pedal to the metal and let the terrain help you blast off!
- Even while in flight, you won't lose control of your vehicle. You can turn or tilt the hull to slightly change your trajectory.
- Lower gravity makes falling less painful. In Gravity Force, damage from falling is significantly reduced.
- In low gravity, the recoil from taking a shot becomes much more noticeable. The lighter the tank and the larger the gun caliber, the farther the vehicle is thrown backwards upon firing. Spin it to your advantage. Fire to speed up or change your flight path.
- When a shell hits an enemy tank, it will not only cause damage but push it backwards. The more powerful your gun and the smaller the target's weight, the farther the enemy is thrown back. Shoot an enemy tank as soon as its tracks leave the surface and watch it fly away! ATGM shells are best suited for this purpose as one precise hit will send the enemy on an express trip to the other side of the map.
- In Gravity Force, tanks' engine power and top speed will be significantly increased. Don't be surprised when you see heavies drifting on turns or light tanks soaring over the battlefield like birds. Space birds with large caliber guns.
Sea of Tranquility
In Gravity Force, you'll have to leave your home planet and join the fight on the surface of the moon. Welcome to the Sea of Tranquility!
All the sights of the Moon await you here: fantastic space views, a complex landscape with many hills and natural ramps, and even a secret scientific base.
Cosmic cold and lunar darkness make it the perfect place for intense tank battles!
Due to an unknown anomaly, the moon's gravity has taken effect even on Earth. In addition to the Sea of Tranquility, Gravity Force battles will be available on the Mirage, Desert Sands, Dead Rail, Oasis Palms, Winter Malinovka, and Normandy maps.
