Role Experience System
Much of your feedback on Ranked Battles concerned the distribution of experience in battles, and we’ve taken measures to improve it. In the new Season, we’re retiring the mechanic where you earn experience through your battle activities. This mechanic will be replaced by a new system of role experience that rewards players for properly fulfilling the role of their vehicle, depending on its class.
Let’s see how this system will work using heavy and medium tanks as examples.
- Close-range brawlers (such as the Maus, IS-4, or PzKpfw VII) can grab their experience bonus by blocking damage and trading off HP, as well as dealing damage from a distance less than 300 meters.
- Medium fire cover tanks (such as the Leopard 1, Bat.-Chatillon 25 t, or Progetto M40 mod. 65) will earn bonus experience by causing damage to vehicles within your view range, and by first spotting of enemies.
Learn more about other changes to the role experience system in the table below.
Defender
Primarily, the role of heavy tanks is to force fronts and hold superior enemies at bay. These slow, and in most cases well-protected, vehicles can block significant amounts of damage using their thick armor rationally.
Role actions:
- Blocking damage and trading off HP
- Dealing damage from a distance less than 300 meters
Typical representatives:
| VEHICLE Nation: | Vehicles: |

| France | AMX M4 mle. 54 |
| Japan | Type 5 Heavy |
| Poland | 60TP Lewandowskiego |
Breakthrough Tank
A role for universal heavy tanks. Though such machines usually have thick frontal armor and are able to push the attack on a flank, they are also fairly mobile so can quickly change their direction to come to the aid of the team.
Role actions:
- Blocking damage and trading off HP
- Dealing damage from a distance less than 300 meters
Typical representatives:
| Vehicle Nation: | Vehicles: |
|---|---|
| U.S.A. | T110E5 |

| China | 113, WZ-111 model 5A |
Fire Cover
Light Attack Vehicle
A role for multifunctional medium tanks with rational front and turret armor, and for slow, well-armored medium tanks. These vehicles can effectively cover the Defenders on the first and second lines.
Role actions:
- Dealing damage to vehicles in the view range (upon own spotting)
- Blocking damage

Heavy Destroyer
A role for tank destroyers or magazine-loading heavy tanks. Despite low comfort in shooting, these vehicles boast great firepower and can be extremely supportive to Defenders when holding enemies and forcing fronts.
Role actions:

- Blocking damage and trading off HP
Typical representatives:
| Vehicle Nation: | Vehicles: |
|---|---|
| U.S.A. | T57 Heavy Tank, T110E4, T110E3 |

High-Caliber Support
A role for tank destroyers with powerful guns equipped with HESH shells. Their guns are pretty slow and not accurate enough to deal consistent damage at long range, and its mediocre armor forces these tank destroyers to take position behind their more thickly armored allies.

Typical representatives:
| Vehicle Nation: | Vehicles: |
|---|---|
| U.K. | FV215b (183), FV4005 Stage II |

Role actions:
- First spotting of enemies
- Assisting allied damage upon spotting enemy vehicles while remaining unspotted yourself
- Dealing damage to vehicles in the view range (upon own spotting)
