WARDOGS Tank Guide: Artillery & Armor

What is confirmed about tanks in WARDOGS?

The official descriptions support two tank uses. An artillery tank can rain destruction on enemy positions, while heavily armoured tanks can tear through towns as the environment reacts. These are role examples, not a complete list of tank models or a promise that every structure will respond identically.

Tanks are also part of the cash and loadout decision. Players buy weapons, equipment, utility, and vehicles for each life, and cash persists from match to match. The current public sources do not give a tank price, crew count, armour value, weapon list, or damage table, so those fields are “待确认.”

What does an artillery tank do?

Team17 uses an artillery tank as the example of a player choosing destructive fire support. The wording confirms that the vehicle can be used to rain destruction on the enemy, but it does not state its range, shell type, reload, targeting interface, or whether another player must spot targets. Those details must not be inferred from the role description.

An artillery tank fits the player-driven battlefield because it can influence a strategic position while other teammates fight in, transport to, or fortify the Control Zone. The source does not publish a fixed artillery objective or a guaranteed number of shots per life. Ammunition, accuracy, friendly-fire behavior, crew seats, and cash rewards are “待确认.”

What do heavily armoured tanks do?

The official game page says heavily armoured tanks can tear through towns. That statement supports a breakthrough and pressure role, especially in a sandbox where destruction can change available cover. It does not confirm that a tank can destroy every building, survive every rocket, or cross every piece of terrain.

The sources also do not identify individual heavy tanks or publish their armour layout. Speed, weak points, repair, fuel, weapon elevation, passenger seats, and respawn rules are all missing. A comparison of tank durability or a recommended armour angle would be “待确认” without tested evidence.

How do tanks interact with building and destruction?

WARDOGS combines combined-arms combat with building and destruction mechanics. Team17 describes rocket launchers destroying apartment blocks and heavily armoured tanks tearing through towns, while teams can build and fortify important positions. This establishes a relationship between tank pressure and changing cover, not a universal destruction formula.

The exact damage thresholds and repair rules are unpublished. A building that appears damaged in the reveal material cannot be treated as proof that every similar building collapses in the same way. Until the live game or an official technical reference documents the system, structure durability, penetration, splash damage, and debris behavior remain “待确认.”

How does a tank purchase affect the match economy?

The official cash loop starts each player with $10,000 and lets them purchase a loadout for each life. Spending on a tank means choosing a vehicle instead of other weapons, gear, or utility, and the cash persists between matches. A well-timed vehicle can change a fight, but no official source provides a universal best purchase or a fixed return on investment.

Teamplay actions reward cash, and the wider game description includes revives, transport, and objective control as examples. It does not state a special tank payout, crew salary, repair bill, or destruction bonus. Tank prices, loss penalties, resupply costs, and reward formulas are “待确认.”

Are fighter jets available now?

Steam’s Early Access notes say the developers plan to add new vehicle types including fighter jets. This is a future plan and should not be presented as a current tank or aircraft roster. Fighter-jet names, release timing, cost, controls, and their relationship to ground armour are “待确认.”

The same notes explain that WARDOGS will continue to evolve through balance changes, feature expansion, and polish. A tank guide should therefore show the source date and revisit its claims when the game publishes a vehicle list or adds a vehicle-focused update. Planned content is not current availability.

What tank information is still missing?

The collected sources do not confirm tank models, crew positions, turret controls, ammunition, range, armour, speed, fuel, repairs, prices, spawn rules, or anti-vehicle weaknesses. They also do not confirm whether artillery and heavy armour are separate purchasable categories or examples of broader vehicle systems. Each of those questions should remain “待确认.”

For now, the reliable distinction is artillery fire support versus heavily armoured breakthrough. Both roles are tied to the Control Zone, persistent cash, teamplay, and a reactive destructible battlefield. Use the official sources below as the update baseline before adding numerical comparisons or a tank tier list.
