Tech Tree

World of Tanks Blitz is made up of Tech Trees. The countries that have tech trees in the game are; U.S.A., France, Britain, U.S.S.R., Germany, Japan, China and the European Nation.\*

Each player starts off with a Tier I tank from each tech tree. Since Update 5.5, the starter tanks are: M2 Light (USA), R35 (France), Pz. II (Germany), Cruiser II (Britain), T-26 (USSR), Ha-Go (Japan), VAE Type B (China), and Vickers Mk. F (Europe).\*

Each tank "researches" into the next tier. By playing tanks, experience and credits are earned, which are used to research and purchase the next tier tank on the tech tree, until Tier X, which is the maximum tier. A tank line is a research line within a tech tree that usually consists of the same or similar kind of tank, with the next tank in a line being an improvement over the previous. Higher tier tanks generally get slower and more heavily armored, while lower tier tanks are lighter.

The tech trees in WoTB have been changed many times, with the most well known and controversial change happening in Update 5.5, which saw the removal of many tanks from the trees (most are still available to players who researched them prior to the update, while others were removed entirely). The following tech trees are how they appear in the latest version of the game.
