25+ Tank Nicknames

World of Tanks is a multiplayer online game created by Wargaming, a Belarusian company.

This game features 20th-century combat vehicles. The game is built on a freemium business model, meaning participants can play the game for free, but they have to pay a fee to avail of the premium features.

The World of Tanks has five types of vehicles: self-propelled artillery, tank destroyers, heavy, medium, and light. Over 600 armored vehicles from Czechoslovakia, China, Britain, the United States, the Soviet Union, Sweden, Poland, Japan, Germany, Italy, and France are in the game. Each tank has a different impulse value that makes them unique.

Fans, players, and members of the community have nicknamed most of these tanks and vehicles depending on their size, features, power, abilities, and shape. While some of these names are funny, some have been deduced from the original name itself.

The main aim is to assign simple nicknames to these tanks that are easy to remember or pronounce and give an idea about the tank.
