Category:Playstyle: Spearhead

Heavily armed, armoured and survivable tanks adept at pushing the frontline. Focus on what’s ahead of you and let your allies hold the flanks, as you are too slow to react quickly and be effective in skirmishes, stick to the big centre-map battles. Most heavy tanks and some tank destroyers are best with this strategy.

Tricks and Tactics
Spearhead tanks are well armoured and armed but slow tanks. They are great on the frontline, fighting along with skirmisher and support tanks to push the main frontline. Many spearhead players get tunnel vision and have poor rear armour which makes them vulnerable to being flanked and ambushed. However, they are adept in straight-up brawls and standard slugfests, so the spearhead strategy and related tanks are best for new players.

Cooperation and Countering
Spearhead tanks work best when they can actually fight. Spearheads love when they can charge into the enemy lines unleashing hell, ricocheting enemy shells and not have to worry about anything that isn't in their line of sight. Through shooting a spearhead tank's barrel and other modules, you can render a spearhead tank an armoured sitting duck.
