Here is how to play Realistic mode in World of Tanks Blitz.

What is Realistic battles in World of Tanks Blitz?

Realistic mode is a logistical dream of planning and thinking ahead. With minimal game interference, this game mode simulates as best as it can a real battle. No longer will armor be highlighted, and no longer will you get the lightbulb to indicate when you have been spotted. You are virtually on your own.

With little interference, games become more tense; you will never know when you’re being watched, so you’d better keep your wits about you.

Realistic mode is a time-limited event, so it will only be available for short periods of time. To warn you in advance, you will be notified when the game mode will be coming out to play through the notifications page and as a message when you open up the game.

Once the game is active and ready to go, you can select it from the game mode menu. From the right of the play button, at the top of the screen, will be another golden button. Click it to decide which game mode you want to play. If the Realistic game mode is active, then it will show at the very right. You need a tier % tank or above to access the game, however.

Select the Realistic game mode, back out of the menu, and then hit the ‘Battle!’ button at the top of the screen to begin your match.

Top tips for Realistic mode in World of Tanks Blitz

Without the useful additions of a regular game, you cannot go steam-rolling through. You will get hit by the enemies who have hidden themselves accordingly.

Be mindful of opponents who wish to flank you and your teammates. You won’t know if they are!

Without the armour on any tanks being highlighted, you’ll have to be mindful that the front of tanks are usually well-armoured. It’s the sides and the tracks that are much more vulnerable. Also, try not to shoot the tank head-on, there will most likely be a thick plate of armour to put your shell in its place.
