Garage
Overview
The garage is a crucial aspect of the game as it is where players can manage and customize their tanks. It is also where players can purchase new equipment and items, such as Turrets, Hulls, Paints, Product kits, Supplies, Gifts, and Passes.
To open the garage, click on the button. If in a battle, you may also press the G key on your keyboard. Clicking the Garage button in battle will prompt the player with the option to either stay in or leave the battle then enter the garage.
Garage Interface
Your Tank
The majority of the garage's interface is taken up by the garage preview. It shows the tank which you are using, with the ability to view it from different angles by rotating the camera.
Information
The information section is located on the right side of the garage. It displays information of the selected item, such as the item's name, description, statistics and prices.
For equipment that is available for purchase/further upgrades, an option to "Buy" or "Upgrade" will also be displayed.
When purchasing a turret or hulls, they will initially be at M0, unless a higher modification is available at your current rank.
It is also possible to equip the item by clicking the "Equip" button, which will replace the current equipped item with the selected item.
Turrets
Main article: Turrets
The choice of a turret largely depends on various factors, such as the map size, enemy tank choice, and, of course your playstyle and personal preference. Turrets can be upgraded up to 3 modifications, M1 being the lowest and M3 the highest. You might as well notice that some turret upgrades cost more and require a higher Rank, that's because turrets are divided into 3 tiers.
- Low-tier: Firebird, Twins, Smoky
- Mid-tier: Vulcan, Railgun, Isida, Hammer
- High-tier: Thunder, Ricochet, Freeze, Shaft
Hulls
Main article: Hulls
Now that you have a turret, you need something, something to move that thing..
Players are presented with 3 types of hulls: light, medium, heavy
Light hulls are fast, well suited for Capture the Flag (CTF), while heavy hulls have very limited mobility but increased HP, making them a good choice for game modes such as Deathmatch (DM). Medium hulls are something in the middle, neither blazingly fast, nor indestructible, making them a good choice for any situation.
Just like turrets, hulls have 3 modifications ranging from M1 up to M3.
Paints
Main article: Paints
What's more important, a beautiful tank or a camouflaged tank? Well.. the answer is neither.
Most paints, except for a few exceptions, offer the player protection against certain turrets, and the best tankers take choosing a paint as seriously as selecting a hull or a turret.
There's also a way for the player to try the paint on their tank before purchasing it, even if it's still locked. You can do this by selecting your desired paint and clicking Preview.
Supplies
Main article: Supplies
Supplies are consumable items that can be spent in battles (if allowed) and they grant the player various advantages in combat, such as double damage, double armor, double speed or tank repair.
There is a special type of consumable unlocked upon reaching Warrant officer 1 which for 2000 instantly adds 1000 Experience to your progress.
Product kits
Main article: Product kits
Product kits are the most optimal way of obtaining new equipment because they allow the player to purchase an entire loadout for a heavily discounted price. They also allow the player to obtain higher turret and hull modifications before reaching the required rank.
Product kits are not limited only to turrets, hulls, and paints but also supplies.

Main article: Special

Other Features
Changing Equipment
Main Article: Changing Equipment
During a Battle, players can choose to enter the garage while remaining in the battle or exit it and enter the garage.
If the player has changed their equipment within a battle, they'll have to wait for 15 minutes before being able to change the item they've chosen.
Inactivity Timer
Attention: If you sit in the garage for a long time while in battle, the system will warn you with a message about the end of the changing time. If you do not make it back to the battle before the end of the timer, you will be removed from the battle immediately.
Battle Results
If at the end of the battle you were in the garage or the list of battles, you will see a message about the end of the game, your place and the number of crystals received in battle.
