Let's find out what you can do in the garage!


Garage


The garage is the place where you'll get a chance to tinker with your vehicles before going into battles. Here you can change your tanks' weapon load-out, adjust armor and customize your ride with camo and decals!

The tank is shown in the center and you can rotate the camera to have a better view around the vehicle. The UI is kept to the sides of the screen as the focus is on the vehicle.

  1. Crew Panel - All crew assigned the current vehicle are shown here. You can click on the crew and he/she will show up in the barrack
