World of Tanks Motion Sickness: Why It Happens & What Helps
World of Tanks is a third-person tank battle game. Wargaming's support article on blur gives one direct step: set Motion Blur Effect to Off in Menu > Settings > Graphics > Details. The same article recommends turning off dynamic adjustment for the 3D render resolution. No source we could open lists a field of view, camera shake or head bob option. This page covers the PC client. Checked October 2026.

Why World of Tanks can trigger motion sickness
Tank battles swing the whole view when the turret and hull turn. Motion blur smears that movement, and a render resolution that changes on the fly can soften the picture. Wargaming's support article covers both: it gives the menu path to switch off motion blur and recommends turning off dynamic adjustment for the 3D render resolution.
- Motion blur while the turret and hull turn
- Blur from dynamic adjustment of the 3D render resolution
- Turret and hull turns that swing the whole view

Comfort settings in World of Tanks
World of Tanks ships some comfort settings, but not a full set.
No source we could open lists a field of view, camera shake or head bob option, so this page claims none. Motion blur and dynamic resolution are the two settings Wargaming's support article documents.
| Setting | Where | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Motion Blur Effect | Menu > Settings > Graphics > Details | Off. Wargaming's support article on disabling blur gives this exact step. |
| Dynamic adjustment (3D render resolution) | In-game settings | Off. Wargaming's same article recommends turning it off. |
One guide explains these settings for every game: how field of view, motion blur, head bob and camera shake trigger motion sickness.

What helps beyond the settings
- Set Motion Blur Effect to Off in Graphics > Details before your first long session
- Take a break between battles rather than queuing straight into the next one
- At the first sign of queasiness, stop, look at a fixed point away from the screen and slow your breathing
The fixes people reach for once they step away from the screen are covered separately, with the trials attached: the remedy verdicts.
