Introduction

The Tanks hub is your guide to every vehicle in Cursed Tank Simulator. The game spans more than twelve tiers, from early light tanks and medium tanks up to the tier 11-12 main battle tanks that dominate the current meta. Tanks are organized by nation as well as by tier, with American, Soviet, German, British and French lines offering very different flavors — the American M1A2 SepV3 is the meta-defining MBT, the French Leclerc is the most survivable, the Soviet IS-7 and T-72 bring heavy armor, and the German P.1000 Ratte is a legendary super-heavy meme. Each tank guide covers the vehicle’s stats, how to unlock it, how its armor and cannon behave in combat, and how to actually play it well. Whether you are choosing your first starter or planning your endgame lineup, this hub tells you what to expect.

M1A2 SepV3

The American tier 11-12 monster — the benchmark for the current meta with top-tier armor and firepower.

RoleMeta main battle tank that dominates endgame PvP when fitted with the best modules.

Leclerc

The French tier 11 MBT widely considered one of the most survivable tanks in the game.

RoleSurvivable main battle tank that anchors teams and holds the line under heavy fire.
How to UnlockProgress through the French tech line to tier 11, investing resources from battles and battlepass rewards. Because it can absorb more punishment, the Leclerc is a forgiving tank for players still learning positioning and map flow.
A

IS-7

The heavy Soviet tier 8 favorite that combines thick armor with hard-hitting guns.

RoleHeavy brawler that holds front lines and punishes enemy mistakes with high burst damage.
How to UnlockResearch it on the Soviet tech line around tier 8 — a reachable and rewarding mid-game goal. Its heavy armor lets you make aggressive plays that lighter tanks cannot, but watch your flanks while you push.
B

M109

The explosive self-propelled artillery that can delete enemies from across the map.

RoleLong-range artillery that delivers massive damage from safe positions behind the front line.
How to UnlockUnlock through the American line as a support vehicle — situational but devastating in the right hands. From a safe firing position the M109 can turn the tide of a fight, but it depends on good map awareness to survive.

P.1000 Ratte

The legendary super-heavy land battleship — gigantic, slow and hilarious to field.

RoleMeme super-heavy that draws fire and makes a spectacle, but struggles to compete at the top of the meta.
How to UnlockUnlock through the German high-tier line for collectors and players who love iconic vehicles. Field the Ratte for fun and for the spectacle, not for ranked wins — its size makes it an easy target for artillery.

T-90

A modern Soviet MBT with strong all-round performance that bridges the mid and late game.

RoleMain battle tank with balanced armor, mobility and firepower, effective in most PvP situations.
How to UnlockResearch it on the Soviet tech line after the T-72, investing battle rewards into the higher-tier grind. The T-90 rewards balanced play, so use its flexibility to adapt to whatever the match throws at you.

Core Mechanics

Every tank in Cursed Tank Simulator is defined by its tier, its nation and its role. The tier determines the base quality of its armor and cannon, and it gates what modules you can attach — a tier 3 light tank simply cannot mount the same turret as a tier 11 MBT. The nation determines the tech-line flavor: American tanks tend to be balanced all-rounders, Soviet tanks lean into heavy armor, German tanks bring powerful guns, and so on. Finally, the role tells you how the tank wants to be played — heavy tanks brawl in the front line, medium tanks flex between positions, tank destroyers punish from cover, and artillery like the M109 sits far back and lobs shells. Unlocking tanks requires researching them with resources, and each guide in this hub walks you through that process so you never waste currency on a vehicle you will not enjoy.

Advantages

A dedicated tank guide saves you from making expensive mistakes in Cursed Tank Simulator. Because researching a tank costs resources you worked hard to grind, knowing the real strengths and weaknesses of a vehicle before you unlock it is extremely valuable. The guides break down each tank’s armor layout, cannon penetration, reload speed and mobility so you can decide if it fits your playstyle. For example, the guides explain why the M1A2 SepV3 is worth the enormous endgame grind, why the Leclerc is the tank to pick if you value survivability, and why the P.1000 Ratte is more of a hilarious flex than a competitive choice. Whether you are a completionist collecting every vehicle or a competitive player chasing the meta, the tank guides give you the facts before you commit.

Challenges

Tank data in Cursed Tank Simulator comes from community observation and official teasers rather than a public stat sheet, so exact numbers can vary between sources and between updates. The tanmk team regularly rebalances armor, penetration and reload values, which means a tank that feels amazing this month might be weaker after the next patch. There are also vehicles we know far less about — the PvE-focused content and some high-tier experimental tanks are still being previewed, so their guides are more speculative. Finally, performance depends heavily on player skill and modules: two players driving the same tank can have completely different results. Treat the guides as informed recommendations and always pair them with the latest Update notes for balance changes.

FAQ

What is the best tank to grind first in Cursed Tank Simulator?+
Start with the early light and medium tanks to learn the game, then set your first real goal on the tier 8 IS-7. The IS-7 is a heavy Soviet tank with thick armor and hard-hitting guns that punches well above its tier, making it an excellent mid-game prize that carries into higher battles. It also teaches you the brawling style that translates well to the top-tier MBTs like the M1A2 SepV3 and Leclerc.
How do I unlock the M1A2 SepV3?+
The M1A2 SepV3 is a tier 11-12 American main battle tank, which means you must grind most of the American tech line to reach it. In practice that means researching and unlocking the tanks below it, earning enough Gold, Cash and research materials, and fitting strong modules so your earlier tanks can carry the battles that fund the unlock. It is the most expensive grind in the game, but the guides in this hub break it into manageable steps.
Is the P.1000 Ratte worth unlocking?+
The P.1000 Ratte is a legendary super-heavy land battleship that is enormous, slow and hilarious to field — but it is more of a meme than a competitive pick. Unlock it if you enjoy collecting iconic vehicles and want to make your friends laugh in battles. If your goal is winning matches and climbing the meta, spend those resources on A or S tier tanks like the IS-7, Leclerc or M1A2 SepV3 instead.

Quick Tips

💡

Match your modules to your tank role. A heavy brawler like the IS-7 wants extra armor and a high-damage cannon, while an artillery piece like the M109 wants engine upgrades to reposition faster. Building against your tank’s role wastes your module slots. A tank built against its role is a tank that wastes its strongest advantages, so let the vehicle decide the modules.

💡

Learn the armor layout before you push. Every tank has stronger frontal armor and weaker side or rear plates, and knowing where enemies are vulnerable is the fastest way to win fights against higher-tier vehicles. Use the armor guide in this hub to learn where each nation’s tanks are weakest and punish them accordingly.

💡

Keep one grinding tank and one fun tank. Progress efficiently with a meta pick, then relax with meme vehicles like the P.1000 Ratte. This keeps your resource income high without burning you out on repetitive battles. Rotating between a meta grinder and a fun pick keeps your income flowing while you actually enjoy the sessions.
