About Tanks 3D
Tanks 3D puts you inside the tank in Arcade Noir’s five-wave cooperative base defense. Drive along masonry corridors, open routes with your cannon, and intercept enemy tanks before the base falls. Brick walls break under fire; steel stops shells. Play alone, add CPU allies, share local split views, or join an authoritative online room with a separate first-person view for each player.
Rules in brief
How to play Tanks 3D
- 01
Use W/S or Up/Down to drive forward and reverse. A/D or Left/Right turn the hull by a quarter turn. Fire with Space, a click on the view, the touch Fire button, or a controller.
- 02
Shoot brick walls to open firing lanes. Destroy enemy tanks while protecting the shared base, and use the radar to watch approaches behind you. Only one shell per tank can be in flight.
- 03
Clear five waves with one to four defenders. Add CPU allies or human players locally, or create an online co-op room. P pauses local play and saves the exact battle; pausing online releases your controls while the shared battle continues.
Arcade Noir validates legal actions inside the game and shows the controls for the current state. This short guide introduces the flow; the playable table remains the final rules authority.
