About Total Tank Simulator
Total Tank Simulator blends large‑scale WWII action with strategic army management. Players command forces on over 50 distinct maps, ranging from deserts to snowy taiga, while physics‑driven destruction reshapes terrain and structures during combat.
The free update adds Japan as a new playable faction with 20 unique units, expands the unit roster to more than 200, and introduces a new Act containing four battle missions alongside sandbox and Shadow survival modes.
01 / THE GUIDE
Japan as a Playable Faction
The latest update makes Japan a selectable side, contributing 20 additional units that include tanks, infantry, aircraft and support elements. These units join the existing pool, raising the total count to over 200 distinct options.
Japanese forces appear in the new Act, which offers four dedicated battle missions and integrates with the existing map collection, allowing players to experience the new units in varied environments.
- Review the unit list to spot any new support types that complement your preferred tactics.
- Test Japanese vehicles in sandbox scenarios to gauge their handling on different terrain.
02 / THE GUIDE
Campaign Mode
Campaign Mode lets you pick a faction and progress through a series of missions that influence the fictional outcome of WWII. Each mission falls into one of several objective types such as Deathmatch, Kill VIP, Protect VIP, or Wave Defense.
The mode presents distinct goals—eliminating all enemies, targeting specific units within a time limit, defending allied units, or surviving successive enemy waves—requiring varied tactical approaches.
- Identify the primary objective before committing forces to avoid unnecessary losses.
- Match unit strengths to the mission type, e.g., use mobile units for wave defense.
03 / THE GUIDE
Sandbox Mode
Sandbox Mode removes mission constraints, giving players full freedom to arrange any combination of units on any map. The only limitation mentioned is the computer’s processing capability.
This open environment encourages experimentation with unit placement, terrain interaction, and the game’s destruction system, making it suitable for testing strategies or creating chaotic battles.
- Combine diverse unit types to observe how they interact with each other and the environment.
- Watch how different map features affect movement and line‑of‑sight.
04 / THE GUIDE
Shadow Mode
Shadow Mode is a survival challenge where you face armies you previously commanded to victory. The AI uses those past forces, testing how long you can survive against familiar tactics.
Because the opposition mirrors your own earlier compositions, the mode emphasizes adaptability and the ability to counter your own strategic choices.
- Recall the unit mix of your most successful past battles to anticipate enemy behavior.
- Adjust your current lineup to exploit weaknesses in the mirrored forces.
05 / THE GUIDE
Physics‑Driven Destruction
Maps feature deformable terrain and gradual building damage, allowing explosions and combat to alter the battlefield. Vehicles can be destroyed, structures can collapse, and forests can be flattened.
These dynamic changes influence movement paths and line‑of‑sight, meaning that each engagement can reshape tactical options as the fight progresses.
- Observe how destroyed structures open new routes for advancing units.
- Consider the long‑term impact of terrain alteration on both offensive and defensive plans.
