In Tanks: The Crusades, players pilot 2D tanks around maze-like battlefields and shoot at enemies. The game is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.

Tanks: The Crusades loads a variety of game data from TANKS files. The game's default TANKS files include data used to load items and crusades (campaigns). (You can find these files in the game's crusades and items directories.) Players can also create TANKS files that store custom level, crusade, and tank data.

How to open a TANKS file

You can open a TANKS file with Microsoft Notepad (Windows), Apple TextEdit (Mac), or any other text editor. Doing so will allow you to view or edit the data the file contains. However, keep in mind that editing a TANKS file may cause it to function incorrectly when used with Tanks: The Crusades.

You can edit TANKS files that contain custom levels or crusades in Tanks: The Crusades. To do so, place the file in the correct game directory, and then open it in Tanks: The Crusades' Level Editor or Crusade Editor.
