Hills of Steel

Hills of Steel puts its tanks on genuinely hilly terrain rather than a flat arena, which means the elevation itself is part of the strategy, a tank cresting a hill gets a firing angle down onto anything below, while one caught in a valley is exposed from multiple directions at once.

Heavy cannons reward holding elevated positions and picking shots carefully, since their slower fire rate punishes missing, while rapid-fire weapons suit aggressive pushes where landing every shot matters less than sustained pressure. Reading the terrain ahead before committing to an engagement, rather than driving straight at an enemy tank, tends to matter as much as the weapon loadout itself. Clash of Tanks covers similar tank warfare with a card-based deployment system instead of direct control.
