World of Tanks: How to Become a Tank Collector
World of Tanks is a thrilling and immersive game, where you can command a variety of tanks and engage in epic battles with other players. However, if you are passionate about tanks and want to collect them all, then you should know about the tank collecting situation in World of Tanks.
By the beginning of 2024, the number of promotional and premium tanks that an ordinary player could receive during the entire existence of the game exceeded 300 pieces. The total cost of 300+ tanks in gold at the technical price exceeded 2,000,000 gold ($7,700). This is a huge number, and it shows how much World of Tanks values its tank collectors.
Ordinary players
To find out who are the most avid and dedicated tank collectors in World of Tanks, we took ordinary players as a basis. These are players who were not volunteers and did not have testing equipment. In first place is the player JFZola, who also collects equipment in the Asia region. You can see his impressive collection and statistics on his profile.
Supertesters and moderators
Of course, ordinary players are not the only ones who can collect tanks. Supertesters, moderators, and developers also have access to some exclusive and rare tanks, that are not available to the public. Supertesters are players who test new tanks and features before they are released, and they have long crossed the line of 300 units of technology. The first place among all testers belongs to a player with the nickname DrLivesey_. You can also see developers playing their game, such as MacWyst in 1st place. There are other developers at the TOP of the list. You can see some pretty good statistics on their accounts.
Entire ammount of tanks
At the moment, there are 364 “golden” tanks and 474 regular/collectible tanks in the game client. Of the 364 “golden” tanks:
- 19 are currently on the accounts of supertesters and are being tested based on. Many tanks have been tested for a very long time and will never be released, although supertesters have the opportunity to roll them out sometimes.
- A player could receive 6 tanks for various types of alpha/beta testing or volunteering. These are:
- T-44-122 – the tank is issued to supertesters for the duration of their stay in the Supertest. But they can leave you if you left there on good terms.
- ISU-130 – the tank is received by moderators on game resources for a year of service.
- KV-220-2 Beta Test – the tank was issued only in the RU region, but was transferred with the player after the transfer. Essentially a unique tank for the EU.
- Pz.Kpfw. V/IV Alpha – the tank was issued only in the RU region, but at the moment it can be obtained by supertesters of the working group in the EU region.
- M4A2E4 Sherman – the tank was issued only in the EU region for the Beta test, but the developers were able to credit it to their account.
- Kanonenjagdpanzer – the tank was sold only once in the EU, and now moderators and supertesters can get it.
- Some equipment that passed tests, but was never released, can be credited to the developers using gold or bonds. Even supertesters do not have such a technique. The list of such equipment is limited and they cannot assign themselves any tank in the game.
Most avid collectors
The most avid collectors have all premium/promotional tanks. The most stubborn ones have every regular/collectible tank in the game in their hangar. In total, there can be almost 800 tanks in the hangar. But probably the most stubborn thing that can happen is to get a master and 3 marks on each of these tanks. And there are such players.
