View range
View range (in meters)
How far your tank can spot enemies from a stationary position with no obstructions.
What it means
View range determines who sees whom first. The maximum spotting distance in World of Tanks is 445m — any view range above that gives diminishing returns through optics and consumables. View range is heavily modified by crew skills (Recon, Situational Awareness) and equipment (Optics, Binoculars).
Practical maximum
Practical max view range is ~480-510m with all crew skills + Optics + commander bonus. Theoretical cap of 445m is for direct line of sight; bushes and obstacles reduce significantly.
Example
Why it matters
View range is the foundation of light tank play. A light with 500m view range can spot heavies at maximum visibility while staying invisible behind bushes. Without view range, scouting is impossible.
