Tanks is the best game out there. Prove that you and you alone are the best tank pilot by blowing your opposition to smithereens. Play against AI opponents of varying difficulty, or challenge your friends to a duel, a duel of Tanks. Take turn launching hunks of explosive metal into the air, and then smile as then come crashing down on your opponent, obliterating terrain or the enemy tank itself. But you’ll have to make sure you have the angle just right, or the only thing you’ll be feeling—rather than a sense of victory—is embarrassment. Succeed, though, and you’ll not only get a nice sense of accomplishment for angling those attacks just right, you’ll also earn money! Spend it on upgrading your tank, or buying additional items. Keep being victorious, and you’ll be the greatest tank in all the land.

Instructions

What’s New

Bug fixes.
This update brings our Online functions from a third party Backend as a Service supported framework to a BlitWise maintained AWS hosted server infrastructure. This should provide greater flexibility in the future, and players should not see any disruption in game play or functionality. However, some errors may occur with a change of this magnitude. We thank you for your patience and ask that you report any bugs, issues, or errors to tech support using the in game support button.

Awesome game

I really like this game, and I've been playing for a long time. The one issue I'm having with it is that, suddenly, my attacks aren't hitting home anymore. I've never had a problem dialing in to hit the target, but recently I can barely get a direct hit, my shots fly all over. Meanwhile the computer hits me dead on every single shot. I have wind turned off, level 5. Other than that I love it, but it's discouraging to get hit so bad by the computer, when I know I'm accurately lining up my own shots and they end up being way off

Amazing, but..

Incredible game overall, awesome gameplay. So many hours were spent, but the main issue is that it is still a struggle to play online with a strangers, no matter if I play with wifi or 4g data lags are pretty common so that you simply cannot finish your move, the same happens with your opponent, you just wait for him to finish move and nothing happens. Would be happy if that can be fixed.
Anyway, thank you BitWise for amazing game!

I love this game

I have played this game since I was like.. 7 and I have bought all the packs and everything because it's an amazing game. The only thing though is that they aren't updating it anymore and it's really sad because I would love new packs and everything. So if the developers are out there and you see this, please make more stuff for this amazing game. I would love that and I'm sure other people would too.
