Differences From PC Version

Although they share the same title, basic game structure and in many cases strategy and tactics, there are many differences between the PC and Console versions. Most content available on the Internet is focused on the PC version, so it is sometimes confusing when certain features are not available, maps are different & game play styles don't work as well.

Artillery

Artillery in the PC version has developed compared to the Console.

The PC version has a "stun mechanic" and less damage is dealt.

The Console version sticks to large amounts of damage with no stun mechanic.

Maps

Apart from certain maps being exclusive to Console (e.g. Kaunas) and others to PC (e.g. Glacier).

There are also differences between the maps shared between the platforms such as Highway, Komarin & Fisherman's Bay. In many cases you will find that the PC version has many many more bushes. In some cases there many be even greater differences in topology.

Console also has a few maps that have been removed from the PC for various reasons e.g. Great Wall, Port. PC map guides for these maps can be helpful in a general sense, but beware the differences!

Crew Skills & Tank Mastery

In the PC version each tank crew member can be treated as a separate member. Each can have a different level of training, and can hold different skills & perks. It is possible to train a different skill/perk on each member at the same time.

The Console version only allows you to deal with the crew as a whole. The whole crew trains the same skill/perk at once.

Tank Mastery is different too. On PC version crews are limited by Nation & Class (medium, heavy etc), whereas on Console they are only limited by nation. So moving a PC crew from an American Medium to and American Heavy will incur a larger penalty (vs moving medium to medium), on Console moving between classes imposes the same penalty as moving between tanks of the same nation & class.

Tanks

Console & PC have different tanks available. PC doesn't have Mercenary tanks or some of the more exotic specials like Hollenhund. Similarly Console lags behind on some of the tech tree tanks.

Tank stats can be different too. For example the Chaffee on Console has slower reload than on PC.
