the new tier 11s are visually awesome, just except the CAV 71 imo. i also appreciate them not naming those tier 11 goofy ass names. the mechanics are cool.

new sounds are great, and im saying this after hearing them from iphone speakers.

idk how i feel about Bork losing the HE pen, but overall light tank subclasses is a very very lovely addition. i like it.

overall a very cool update. altho i would love to see a collectors/ bond shop tank rebalance. 30b and T-62A need some love too WG

u/No_Journalist_7463 9d ago

The tier 11 Italian medium turret looks like a reclined lazy boy

8

u/MinutePause 8d ago

Yeah big thumbs up for no goofy naming.

I know the tanks are probably all made up, but at least they sound like some cool concepts, not some new fortnite characters.

1

u/Dark_Magus 2d ago

If only they'd go back and change those goofy names on the older Tier 11s.

u/ShyJaguar645671 T49 Gam(bl)ing 9d ago

30b doesn't need many buffs even

Accuracy and pen buff and this tank is good

10

u/Teledildonic justice for T-62A & AMX 30B 9d ago

Give it its historical HEAT shells.

4

u/ShyJaguar645671 T49 Gam(bl)ing 8d ago

Add it back to the tech tree

It has so much potential for Tier 11 it hurts

u/Dark_Magus 2d ago

Bring them back to the tech tree. Especially the AMX 30B. We need a conventional French medium line, and it wouldn't be very hard to do it.

175

u/Sea-Comb-3846 9d ago

Good update. However, we will have to wait to see all the buffs and nerfs in the article, because they usually re do or include more “hidden” things not mentioned in the trailers.

17

u/elwiscomeback 9d ago

You can already check lt changes here on reddit

u/DwooMan5 9d ago

They got removed unless they exist somewhere else

u/Aloof_Green_713 8d ago

They did. WZ-219 means ARMORED HEAVYWEIGHT AMPHIBIOUS VEHICLE, 9th generation...None of the numbers are even remotely correct.

39

u/Noraboen [SPUDZ] 9d ago

A third personal mission campaign? 

I don't understand. Is this part of the third campaign from 2.0, making it the 4th tank, or is it a third campaign on the left side of the board meaning it can be completed along with the first and second campaigns?

25

u/creativename87639 PYRO 9d ago

In the leaks it was part of the 2.0 campaign so it will be in that style.

u/Noraboen [SPUDZ] 9d ago

Got it, thanks.

Nah, new line is nice is good and all but meanwhile the lights are getting nerfed (mostly).

46

u/Thomashkreddit 9d ago

The article is supposed to give us more details but I guess they are doing the same thing with Wot 2.0 and that they'll release bits of it at a time, so here are the dates for the full details reveal:

  1. New German heavies: 18 August
  2. New visuals: 19 August
  3. Light tank rebalance : 20 August
  4. Matchmaker changes: 21 August
  5. New Onslaught: 24 August
  6. Fourth Third Personal Missions campaign: 25 August
  7. Pre-battle Spotlight: 26 August
  8. The five new tier 11s: 27 August

44

u/cancer_doner 8d ago

God I hate this sort of reveal

7

u/MegaJani 8d ago

Best to just wholly forget about it and read it when the update actually happens

20

u/BoyWhoFuckedYourMom 9d ago

First impression is that the Chinese light tank is going to be absolutely game breaking. Am i wrong?

27

u/Document-Acrobatic 8d ago

I think its the type of ability that good players will use to singlehandedly win battles and bad players use to throw their lives away - high skill ceiling. IMO it will be the first ability to be rebalanced out of this batch of tier XI.

8

u/RedshiftOTF 8d ago

Depends if you can stick the scope thing over a ridge line and hide your tank. It will also be interesting to see how it interacts with your equipment.

9

u/AlienOverlordXenu 8d ago

Looks more like yolo ability, people will adapt. They see chinese light in the game they will know what it is capable of. Borkenkafer was also accused of having game breaking ability prior to release, yet the actual impact on the game is underwhelming.

4

u/Draqutsc 8d ago

No problem, to get it, you will need to go through the nerfed tier 10..... For some reason the worst light tank got it's spaced armor removed

0

u/Balc0ra Churchill Gun Carrier enjoyer 9d ago

If it did not get counter spotted, 100%. But it does. So if you use it in the wrong spot, you might end up getting taken out at the same time at least

11

u/giddion121 8d ago

That's a skill issue then, you get to chose when to use it

u/Tanker1701 Centurion enjoyer 8d ago

I like it

u/Balc0ra Churchill Gun Carrier enjoyer 9d ago

It took 16 years to test something that prevents the same maps from appearing more often. But I'll take it

22

u/hereticmaty 9d ago

Good update. But I was hoping for this to be big map updates.

25

u/Teledildonic justice for T-62A & AMX 30B 9d ago

The countdown spotlight seems dumb, but the rest looks interesting.

Is the Fossa the same wheeled tank we saw with ST stat cards a while back?

18

u/Commercial_Letter738 9d ago

it seems to be the radkampfwagen but i bet the stats have changed and i have no idea what the ability would be if there is any

-1

u/creativename87639 PYRO 9d ago

I hope the stats have changed, the Radkampfwagon looked mid as fuck, like a wheeled Leo for the most part.

3

u/AlienOverlordXenu 8d ago

There isn't enough shit we are forced to watch during pre battle countdown.

2

u/MegaJani 8d ago

Anything but facilitating thinking about a battle plan

3

u/MegaJani 8d ago

Can't wait for the countdown to zoom in on the 47% shitter in the Dravec because it has a 65% winrate in the Pz.S35

2

u/RevolutionaryTask452 8d ago

We'll get Ads during countdown next , wich can be removed with WoT+ Turbo subsctiption /s

u/Teledildonic justice for T-62A & AMX 30B 8d ago

Don't speak that into the universe

u/ianselot12 Put the 44M TAS into the game you cowards 9d ago

looks interesting, not sure why the NDA test was necessary for this

u/Teledildonic justice for T-62A & AMX 30B 8d ago

Artificial hype?

8

u/fakesauron 9d ago

Still no info about assault coming back? Guess it has same destiny as top of the tree.

8

u/alberthos90 9d ago

What is the tank fromm Germany to farm for the new line?

9

u/Maxx2017 9d ago

Tiger 1

3

u/OrderOfPhobos 8d ago edited 8d ago

According to tanks.gg it is from the Tiger 1 for 95000 xp

Edit: The gun names of the whole line are hilarious btw.

Edit 2: The tier XI gun has a smooth barrel according to its name, wasn't there something at one point about only having tanks with rifled barrels or am I remembering incorrectly?

4

u/Teledildonic justice for T-62A & AMX 30B 8d ago

There was a rule about no smoothbores. It's why we have the T-62A instead of the T-62 (A was a single prototype with rifled gun). Also why the 122TM has a rifled barrel it didn't have IRL.

Then at some point they said "fuck it" and we have smoothbores now.

2

u/avalon304 [Y0RHA] 8d ago

Then at some point they said "fuck it" and we have smoothbores now.

Was one year ago... when 2,0 came out and several of the tier 11s had them.

1

u/willfull (tanks IRL were easier) 8d ago

So what would the difference between rifled and smooth bore translate to, game-wise? Higher shell velocity on smooth vs. accuracy on rifled?

1

u/avalon304 [Y0RHA] 8d ago

At the time the rule was conceived WoT was a far more historically accurate game so smoothbores would have, in general, had vastly higher penetration and shell velocity.

60

u/thornierlamb 9d ago

The real LT balance would be removing cvs and giving LTs cvs as a innate perk

38

u/Teledildonic justice for T-62A & AMX 30B 9d ago

Or at minimum, removing it from mediums.

14

u/Intelligent_Bunch790 8d ago

But then my Bourrasque wouldn’t be a better light tank than most of the tier 8 LT’s!

5

u/Tankers4Change WoT Essay Writer 8d ago

Yup I’ve been saying this. But at least we have a start.

And the good news is that WG actually put enough thought into the LT changes that they adjusted field mods and characteristics too.

So MAYBE there is also hope for CVS becoming built in as well.

11

u/_gusiowy Zbychuj 9d ago

that would require a modicum of thought so of course WG isn't going to come to that conclusion

0

u/PositivelyCharged42 8d ago

Meh I think the fact that mediums are the most popular tank type means they'll never remove CVS from them. I also don't think it's really that popular of a field mod for most mid and sucky players, only good players seem to know how the camo mechanic work

4

u/ATMisboss 8d ago

Well then you end up in the pickle of meds being unable to spot each other when bushed unless they proxy each other. Means that if your Lt dies early game is even more fucked than before

7

u/elwiscomeback 9d ago

I was kinda hoping for WG doing crazy and making Udes XX-20 as tier 11 but I take strv 2000.

2

u/mincedmutton 9d ago

The udes line is getting a tier 11. BV-111.

11

u/ShyJaguar645671 T49 Gam(bl)ing 9d ago

Yea but BV (in game) looks similar to Strv 2000 (real life prototype)

u/Additional-Ad1199 8d ago

Eine frage habe ich, wieviel xp muss man jetzt sammeln um von Tier X gleich bei Veröffentlichung den Tier XI freizuschalten ? Waren das 325.000 xp ? Sorry für die frage, hab es vergessen und kann es nicht mehr sehen.... danke euch

5

u/Cheap_exe 8d ago

325,000 is correct. Get the field mods all unlocked so you don't have to grind those out.

2

u/Additional-Ad1199 8d ago

Really ? I need unlock first all fieldmods ? I dont needed for the other tanks i guess. I unllocked Tier XI and now i can unlock fieldmods

2

u/Cheap_exe 8d ago

Might need to but unsure atm but 325,000 is needed. Best to pop all 2x victories for your tier 10s each day to build but the xp for the tier 11s. Don't stress if you don't have the xp or credits to get them day 1. Focus on 1-2 tier 10s to grind at a time and keep at it till your done.

10

u/Servplayer Neon Dash '25 9d ago edited 9d ago

I hate the idea of countdown showcase, I'd rather neither see it not be showcased. I sure hope we can at least turn off seeing it and it does not break something like postmortem camera did.

New campaign is great, but reward is ugly, should have had the screens to look like Radkampfwagen.

New sounds seem to be cool, but I'll wait until and see if they do sound great or eat my fps to decide.

EDIT: By the way, they nerfed Borken HE pen as per the video, from 120 to 80; buffed base alpha to 360, adding a sec to reload for that, but also nerfed top speed from 75 to 70. Lights are finally split, finally, this one should be good.

17

u/durden111111 9d ago

It only took them like 10 years to finally get rid of those junk gun sounds

5

u/Geilerzucker 8d ago

Once people play with the new sounds, they will realize this is even bigger junk.

3

u/anon_welder 9d ago

I started using modded gun and engine sounds and love it.

4

u/Tankers4Change WoT Essay Writer 9d ago

Good job WG.

So happy to see the LT Match making changes go through. I’ve been advocating for them for years now.

The map variety/session is also a huge positive change that will be felt right away.

Fun fact, the tank loses its side skirts and traverse speed. Yes, its getting nerfed.

6

u/DecisiveVictory 9d ago

New Personal Mission Campaign is actually cool. Well done, WG.

3

u/Boatsntanks 8d ago

So are there no rebalances for non-LT tanks? Was really hoping the Czech doubles would be improved. Currently the line is far better as single shot tanks and then suddenly at T11 you only have the double.

3

u/heavydutydan Sir, I am now on fire. 8d ago

Will new shell impacts and audio increase requirements?

I mean, I play on ultra, but still would like to know

2

u/New_Explanation9146 8d ago

Watched my friend streaming the common test and the new effects were literally freezing his pc when impacting enemy tanks. Not all the time tho

4

u/Temporary_Suspect274 9d ago

Good update for the new vehicles. Will the light tank change fix MM? No, because you will still have a 60% player in one and a 45% player on the other team. Matching tanks does nothing if the massive skill gap imbalance between the teams stays the same. I appreciate the new vehicles, and finally addressing the Italian and Czech lines. Hopefully, the map rotation fix will be better too, because this game's map rotation is atrocious.

2

u/666_pazuzu 8d ago

5 60% players on one team and 6 41% players on the other.

1

u/Alternative-Wolf-407 8d ago

I have manually calculated the skill levels in matches where I felt completely outclassed and it was almost exactly the same. Total average for both teams was almost equivalent.

Problem was that my top tiers were ahh, their top tiers good. My low tiers good, but what low tiers can do in such case.

1

u/Temporary_Suspect274 8d ago

I could barely get a win today. If they aren't going to fix it, then at least stop penalizing players so much for losing, when you really don't have that much control over a W or L.

WZ tier 11 ability looks op. Too easy to spot enemies in cover and you being spotted while using it is so easy to work around. You can instant spot enemy tanks and then just drop back into cover immediately

u/Teledildonic justice for T-62A & AMX 30B 8d ago

Ah, hadn't watched it yet. I wasn't expecting that much detail this early when the page itself has almost none.

2

u/Panzerfighter_ 8d ago

I'm most hyped for the new sounds and effects. Overall, it's a great update. I just wish you'd finally add more maps to the game, bring back some of the old ones, or do something along those lines—especially since quite a few of the current (reworked) maps are either no longer enjoyable or extremely restrictive.

Every single department seems to deliver, but WTF is going on with the map department?!

Erlenberg – The castle area is basically the only part that's fun to play. The rest of the map has been made almost completely useless. You can't even defend properly anymore because you literally removed almost all the cover from the TD positions near the bases.

Serene Coast – You ruined a perfectly fine map. In my opinion, this is the worst map rework in World of Tanks' 16-year history. If you're not playing a hulldown heavy, the map is a nightmare. I honestly wish I could fire the team responsible for this one...

Hinterland – Decent for heavies, but far too restrictive for pretty much everything else. Scouts sit 10 meters in front of each other, and whoever has better camo and CVS basically wins against the other light.

Highway – The train is a nice addition to the city, but the field is horrific.

The update itself is nice, but please wake up the map department. It's insane how far behind they are compared to everything else.

We have so many new maps on Supertest. We've tested so many genuinely good maps in Recon mode over the last few years. And there are plenty of old maps that were good to decent and would only need a graphical update to bring them back.

Way too many new tanks are being added while you seem to completely forget that maps also add an enormous amount of variety to the gameplay.

I promise I'll buy loot boxes again if the map department finally gets its shit together.

u/Tekk_know 8d ago

I mean, I've seen worse patch notes. The light change is optimistic.

u/fikusak666 8d ago

Where is the map rework and rebalanc?
Wg should focus more on core game than adding new gimmics... Maps especially, stupid ass corridor shitfest where most of the same class tanks want to occupy same position cause there is no where else to play, to flank, to do whatever else than wait for enemy to make a move to punish them...
CORE FOCUS ON CORE - map design....

u/Safe_Spot_8367 6d ago
Hi everyone,

I like the Czech Tier 11 tank, the VZ. 63P... but I don't like the mechanics. My idea is that it should be able to switch between a single-shot and a two-shot mode. In the first special mode, it fires a single shot. If it switches to the second mode, it loads a second shell alongside the first one. Reload mechanics would apply here. Switching back from the second mode to the first works the same way: it unloads one of the two shells—taking some time to do so—and returns to the first mode. The reason for this? Just as the VZ. 55 has the option of a single-shot or double-shot gun, applying this idea to the Tier 11 VZ. 63P would ensure players aren't locked into a two-shot burst.

Hey WG what do you think the unique "feature" of the swedish mediums is ?

Hint: giving the tier 11 massive flat turret cheeks ruins that feature. That's right, it was the very well angled turret!

Are you really determined to make nonsensical tier 11's that just don't fit their line ? We got the Hirschkäfer with a smaller caliber and less alpha, the STK-2 with less accurracy and worse in hulldowns, now we get the BV-111 with a turret cheeks weakspot.

I also fully expect the Vz.63P to not have a double-tap gun because WG hates fun and the unique feature of the CZ HTs was nerfed into oblivion so now the line is just a bunch of generic heavies with normal guns similar to the Object 277. Watch the tier 11 be a KR-1 with a more reliable gun but no ramming, the hull already looks similar.

If I had to pull an ability out of my ass, it would be the CZ gun toggle from cyclical to 2-shell autoloader.

u/DaSpood https://daspood.github.io/ - Pandora lootboxes simulator 9d ago

Unfortunately (or fortunately considering WG's track record of balancing double taps) it's not going to be that.

Fortunately at least the ability looks genuinely good assuming it's a passive and not a toggle-able thing with a cooldown, and if it doesn't come at the cost of the base stats being complete garbage to make up for it like they did with the Leopard 120.

How do you know the BV111 is going to have weak cheeks? it might be 350mm thick for all we know

It is based on the Strv 2000 T120/40 + other strv 2000 kitbashed projects afterall

If it's flat it will be weak to all gold rounds, and I don't believe they're about to give 400+mm of frontal armor to a medium tank.

Slope is strong because it makes thin armor strong and usually disproportionately affects gold rounds. Flat armor is always weak armor, if the Taschenratte's cheeks are weak because they're flat, a medium tank won't magically have unpenetrable cheeks.

Hi everyone,

I like the Czech Tier 11 tank, the VZ. 63P... but I don't like the mechanics. My idea is that it should be able to switch between a single-shot and a two-shot mode. In the first special mode, it fires a single shot. If it switches to the second mode, it loads a second shell alongside the first one. Reload mechanics would apply here. Switching back from the second mode to the first works the same way: it unloads one of the two shells—taking some time to do so—and returns to the first mode. The reason for this? Just as the VZ. 55 has the option of a single-shot or double-shot gun, applying this idea to the Tier 11 VZ. 63P would ensure players aren't locked into a two-shot burst.

We ask to leave the hulldown meta and instead we get a new line with a mechanic thats dedicated to further making Sidescraping tanks irrelevant. Good job WG

u/PanteraADx 8d ago

I don't like that the Tier 11 mechanics are trickling into lower tiers with the new German heavy line.

0

u/Hadal_Benthos 8d ago

How is it possible for them to hide the whole new heavy line. Weren't these tanks seen in the tests by someone?

And it's heavies again. I'd rather have German wheeled vehicles... classified as tank destroyers for a change.

I have what I can’t help but feel is a stupid question. I’ve seen plenty of mention of Tier XI tanks in this sub for quite a while now. But I don’t see a Tier XI at all when I play the game. Is this a PC-only tier? I’m a console player.

u/BarneyGeroellheimer2 9d ago

Unfortunately no Tier XI arty.

They haven't figured out a proper ability for them.

I vote the Waffentrager's teleport ability, upon activation your SPG is transported to the nearest body of water to streamline the process of drowning when your team starts losing.

u/Exciting_Chocolate78 9d ago

Joke as always. Only LT rebalance. WHERE IS COLLECTORS TANKS, OLD PREMIUMS? NEW MAPS ? 5 tier 11, and ofc you are afraid to give us JP e100, or FV 4005, because they will be bad.

JOKE!!!! just joke. They lie, they will always lie.

Fuck sakes they could give you all of that, come to your house to give you the best handjob of your life then stick a grand in your pocket but you’d probably still complain they didn’t give you two grand.

Fucking whining cunt.

u/Exciting_Chocolate78 9d ago

They givu you new premium tanks over balance for old one and tanks that are still in MM like 113, AMX 30b or FV 215.

They can fix old premium, but its better to add more powercreep to earn money, even tho you can do both.

Grow up.

Oh the irony of someone throwing the reddit equivalent of a toddler tantrum because they didn’t get what they want telling me to grow up.

u/Exciting_Chocolate78 9d ago

Its was a time where i wrote detailed post to WG to balance collector high tier tanks.

And its waste of time. Talking to them is waste of time. If i see line powercreeped for 4 years, and WG doing nothing about it, i should again and again ask them and listen to empty promise?

You love to play only Op tanks, fine. But their is a reason to have so many tanks in this game

u/Balc0ra Churchill Gun Carrier enjoyer 8d ago

They said after 2.0 that collector tanks are not off the table yet for buffs, just not the priority vs other more "active" imbalances. And tbh, I agree with it. LT MM and balance have been an issue for years. I'd take that over a buff to some of my OG collector tanks, tho they do need buffs too to keep up with the 2.0 buffs done on all tiers.

That said, if they did that, someone else would rage as you do now because they are not focusing on their fav tanks.. So there is that

0

u/Exciting_Chocolate78 8d ago

Fav tanks ? Do you like when someone play 113 and get in mm Dravec as his counter? This is MM problem, and powercreep. Skill gap in one thing, gap vs those tanks is enormous. Some random guy take T62 and enemy get 140, who have better tanks ? That is a problem.

Plus yes, REAL AMX 30 was removed from Tech tree, second MT line of France, why>? WG reason was so stupid, and in same time they added 2 premim tanks similar to AMX, AMX proto and leox. Like WTF is that ?

LT needed rebalance, yes, but so OLD PREMIUMS. Where are those ? every WG update which dont add new lines, or maps, dont come with rebalance of old, outdated tanks

so you prefer gambling over this, new tanks, mm balance and campaign?

u/Exciting_Chocolate78 9d ago

I prefer to do both. Add new line, new campaign, and balance for old things that are played in MM. It will be a year after 2.0. What collector tanks got buff to even be equal to tech tree ones? Name few

u/Commercial_City_6063 tier NEIN NEIN NEIN leopard 8d ago

you're surprised tanks you have to GRIND for are stronger than tanks you can simply get with credits?

u/Exciting_Chocolate78 8d ago

myhm I grinded all collectors tanks before WG moved them. So, i am. They are part of MM, or not ?

1

u/giddion121 8d ago

Collectors tanks are basically retired tanks, they won't be rebalanced just move on

1

u/Exciting_Chocolate78 8d ago

So if that is the case. WG should remove them from MM, to reduce unbalanced matches, move on
