** The UsefulNotes/XBox360 version got tanks on the moon, featuring a version of the M24 Chafee firing lasers as seen here: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=88gbqRdAzC0

* SkillGateCharacter: [=SPG=]s or Artillery. By their very nature, all an SPG player needs to do is to go to a predetermined spot on the map and hit the shift key, then proceed to, as the playerbase jokes, play with one hand, not even touching the keyboard for the rest of the game. This allows mediocre to downright awful players to contribute significantly to a battle, and even carry it through sheer dumb luck. On the other hand, the heavy RNG factor of artillery shells, the lack of ability to hold or push a line, and lower damage output compared to an actual tank at the frontline, means that very few, if any skilled players put more than the [[CharacterSelectForcing mandatory]] amount of time in as a clicker.

** The 2024 ''Film/DunePartTwo'' collaboration saw several games getting in-game vehicles, such as Blitz's Groundtank.

** [[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 The Predator and Vindicator]]. The original game got the Valhallan Ragnarok and Mordian Leman Russ skin.

** GameMod: An aspect of the popular [=XVM=] mod is that it allows the player to substitute variously alarming images and sounds to convey the "spotted" alert. Website/YouTube replays show players using everything from [[WesternAnimation/DespicableMe Minions]] to the [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Eye of Sauron]].

* CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkeys: French tanks get a lot of flak from the fandom because they [[UnexpectedGameplayChange behave differently from others]], their alleged irrelevance to armored warfare, or [[AcceptableTargets simply because they're French]]. However, high-tier French tanks like the Batchat have garnered a lot of respect from the player base.

* NoPronunciationGuide: The Centurion Action X suffers from this a bit. Is it the Centurion Action Ex or the Centurion Action Ten?

* EvilTwin:
** The premium German-captured French tanks (Pz.Kpfws 38H, S35 and B2), all slightly different (and EVILLY GERMAN) to their normally-researched French counterparts.
** Subverted by some units [[FakeNationality not having their true nation]] equivalent or name -- the [=FCM36 Pak40=] is a ''French'' premium TD despite technically being a German Marder I, and the Soviet Tetrarch has no British tree equivalent, though it was a British tank. Essentially evil twins with no good counterpart. The Lend-Lease Matilda and Churchill were this for a while, if only because the British tree didn't exist yet.

** Rudy, from the Polish series ''Four Tankers and a Dog''.

* FakeBalance: The perception of this leads to [[BrokenBase arguments]].
** One of the main ways Wargaming balances tanks is by the amount of HP they possess, which doesn't ''actually'' change how the tank performs, just how much it can get hit.
