Tank Strike 3D — Free Browser Tank Battle Game

Tank Strike 3D is a free, low-poly 3D arena tank game that runs entirely in your browser — no download, no install, no account. Hold a walled battlefield against endless waves of light, medium, heavy and artillery tanks while protecting your HQ. It works with keyboard and mouse on desktop and a two-thumb touch layout on phones and tablets, and your best scores, daily streak and unlocks are saved on your own device.

How to play Tank Strike 3D

The core loop

You spawn at the south end of the arena next to your glowing HQ bunker. Enemy tanks pour in from spawn pads to the north — and, from wave six, ambush gates on the east and west walls. Destroy every tank in a wave to earn a short intermission, then a bigger, smarter wave arrives. The run ends when your tank or your HQ is destroyed, so you can never just hide in a corner: some enemies will slip past you and shell the base directly. Every tenth wave cleared is a Sector Cleared celebration with a big bonus and a full repair.

Hull, turret and the scope

Your hull and turret move independently — drive one direction while shooting another. Shells are physical projectiles with travel time and gravity, so lead your targets. Toggle the scope for 2×–6× zoom, a live rangefinder with shell flight time, and the gold lead diamond that shows exactly where to aim at a moving tank. Moving and swinging the turret blooms your accuracy; stopping for a beat rewards you with laser-tight shots.

Armor angles win fights

Damage depends on where and how a shell lands: front armor is strong, rears take 1.4× damage, and any hit at a steep angle simply ricochets. Angle your hull around 45° to incoming fire and you will bounce shells that would otherwise hurt; flank heavies and punish their slow turrets. Brick cover is destructible — chew firing lanes through it, or watch enemies demolish yours.

Score, combos and power-ups

Kills build a combo multiplier up to ×5, but taking damage resets it — aggression pays only if you also dodge. Destroyed enemies drop Battle City-style power-ups: repairs, AP shells, rapid fire, overdrive speed, shields, and the rare airstrike. A seeded Daily Run gives everyone the same arena and a one-day mutator; clear wave three to keep your streak alive.

FAQ

Is Tank Strike 3D really free?

Yes — completely free, with no purchases, no loot boxes, no currency and no real-money anything. The page shows standard display ads; that is the whole business model. All hull paints unlock through play.

Do I need to download anything or sign up?

No. It is a single web page rendered with WebGL via the three.js library. Your scores, settings, streak and unlocks live in your browser's localStorage on your device — nothing is uploaded anywhere.

Does it work on phones?

Yes. Touch devices get a floating virtual joystick for driving, drag-to-aim on the right half of the screen, and big fire/scope buttons. The renderer caps its pixel ratio and drops quality automatically to hold a smooth frame rate on mid-range phones. Landscape is recommended.

What is the Daily Run?

Every calendar day, one shared seed builds the same arena, the same waves and one mutator (like Fast Shells or Double Lights) for every player. Reach wave three on the daily to extend your streak; miss a day and it resets.

Why did my shot bounce off?

Armor angling. Shells that strike at 70° or more from a surface's normal ricochet harmlessly — the same physics you can use defensively by keeping your hull angled. AP shells from the gold power-up raise your ricochet threshold and add 50% damage.

The game feels slow or choppy — what can I do?

Open Settings and set Quality to Low: it lowers resolution, trims particles and shortens the draw distance. Auto mode does this by itself if your device can't hold 60 fps. Closing other tabs helps too.
