In a discussion here in this sub u/LordMuffin1 took the effort and explained which skills a 1600 WN8 player usually has. It made me aware that many players don't really know which skills and typical gameplay are associated with the respective XVM colors. So I decided to expand his list to all XVM colors. I do not claim my listing to be complete or correct and I would gladly hear your opinions on it.

I used the six color scheme from XVM and added some typical gameplay for each color. Every color includes the skills and abilities of the previous ones.

• Occasionally shoots at other tanks
