Football tank
Tank sport model variants have been specially designed for Tank football. From what could previously be considered an armoured monster, we now have a real sporting machine: lightweight body construction comprising of special alloys, a tuned racing chassis, and of course, a turbocharged engine:
- [ Space / LB ] — leap up, helps to parry the ball in mid-air.
- [ LMB / RT ] — dash forward. Hits hard, both your ball and your opponents.
- [ RMB / LT ] — camera on the ball.
Terms and conditions
- The match features 2 regular 5 minutes halves in each game. In case of a draw, players will get 2 additional periods of 1.5 minutes each. Only game time is taken into account (as in five a side or mini football). If the results after the two additional periods is still a draw - victory will not be awarded to any team.
- For an early victory in a match in the “3 vs 3” mode you need to have an advantage of 3 goals.
- For an early victory in the match in the “4 vs 4” mode you need to have an advantage of 5 goals.
- Matches will be formed according to the “ELO” system which takes into account your efficiency.

How to participate in the TSS tournaments?

Do you earn SL in this mode, or anything? Or what is the point?
Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. I mean, I'm all for just having fun, but I have to grind the winter event too, so unfortunately I just can't spare the time if there's nothing to win :( As others have said, it would be nice if this event was available before and/or after big events...
hmmmm, starts on the 26th but this article was uploaded on the 28th
I don't understand this mode. I aim well and shoot the ball, but it never moves from my shell.
NOICE! 👍
All my jump actions are assigned to my left mouse button by default..... How do I change this?
These are... not good tournament times. New modes is great, but why are they all in the middle of workday afternoons, and over multiple days, with like 1 game per day in some cases, and after the holiday is over? There's no way anyone in North American timezones with a job or school can really partake easily. I get it Europe needs some love too, and that's fair, but this is still really limiting your likely attendance.
You can find many interesting tournaments on TSS. Check it and select something that fits your daily schedule.
Stona_WT, Thank you, I played in 5 of them this weekend alone, in fact. My point is this is poorly scheduled for North American players and people who cannot commit to up to 7 consecutive days of play at the same time each day. Every previous large tournament has been over a max of 3 days, not 7. And this pace of only 1 game the first day, followed by only 2 games/day for the next 6, makes this significantly more difficult to schedule other aspects of people's life (or play) around. It is ill-considered.
I think Gaijin is confused or something. You are a game known for having realistic mechanics in your game. You please the wrong crowd when you release these things. Like that premium Japanese helicopter with Anime chicks camouflage. What's wrong with you? Now, it's football with tanks? Are you for real? Stick to realistic mechanics. There is tons of brainless games for brainless players. Every player you gain with that will leave soon enough or stay and ruin the game.
You =/= whole playerbase. Please be aware that not all players search for realism. Some wants to have fun shooting tanks with funny hats on them. Some like to fly aircraft with aerobatic smoke on during intense dogfight with 10 other planes around in arcade clash. Dashing through the waves with snowman on top of your ship? Why not?! You can find such gameplay beside realism from SB and RB mode. That's the great thing in WT - almost everyone can find something that fits him. PS. "Kisarazu" paintjob is real life paintjob from Japan.
Yo man. I play WoT for 2 years now. I like the game. But this tank football mod is just perfect for fun and enjoying it with your buddies. So live and let live. It should be there all the time not just for 5 days a year.
