■ Customization (Decals)
Hidden Bokos can be found in stages. By shooting at the Boko, you can obtain a decal to customize your tank. Various decals are being prepared, including character-based designs, simple numbers, and more.
The tank actions of Girls und Panzer: Dream Tank Match are a reproduction of the actions that appear in the original work. Each tank’s performance differs and operability is simple-yet-deep, allowing anyone to partake n Girls und Panzer-esque tank battles.
Drift
Since each tank’s performance differs, there are some low mobility heavy tanks that are unable to drift.
Jump
High mobility tanks such as the BT-42 can jump over fields with rough surfaces while driving.
Napoli Turn
The CV33 Turn can be done by some tanks, such as the Sturmgeschutz III Ausf. F and Hetzer. It is extremely effective for narrow alleyways or when pursuing an enemy tank. While drifting, tilt the left stick opposite the direction your moving to activate the turn.
Rotating Turret
By using the rotating turret equipped to most tanks, you can fire outside the direction of movement. Since tanks such as Hetzer have a disadvantage in town areas due to their fixed turret, it is better to choose a tank with a rotating turret in those situations.
Spin Turn
Depending on the tank (Centurion, Tiger, etc.), you can perform a fast-rotating spin turn.
Girls und Panzer: Dream Tank Match is due out for PlayStation 4 on February 22, 2018 in Japan, and with English subtitles on February 27 in Southeast Asia (Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, and Indonesia).
