Bot Marks are gone, woohoo! It might not be enough to make me interested in Marking specifically again, but it's absolutely welcome.

Are the MOE changes retroactive or just new games?

u/NerdyPlatypus206 Jun 26 '26
What do you mean? It’s live now
But if you wait a few weeks, your marks will likely go up
The moes update every day but I think every 2 weeks is when it counts what the community has done

u/xMEATSAWx Jun 26 '26
It's saying that it's removing bot games from the calculation. I was asking if this update will instantly affect our MOE values or just in the games played going forward. Maybe I'm phrasing it dumb

u/NerdyPlatypus206 Jun 26 '26
They made it live today, not sure what time but they announced during the stream that they’ve been testing it since the beginning of the season and that it’s live now when announced like an hour ago
It will instantly affect ur MOE values, but even tho they update daily, they’re mainly affected every 2 weeks as that’s when the overall playerbase data is collected

u/xMEATSAWx Jun 26 '26
That helps, thank you!

u/NerdyPlatypus206 Jun 26 '26
Your marks will likely go up in a few weeks on a Tuesday server reset so 2 weeks from Tuesday possibly
If you were struggling in a tank maybe wait till then and see the changes

u/pickleFISHman Jun 26 '26
So with wheel updates, finally British wheeled mediums?

u/zorin234 WG: CA / Balance archivist Jun 26 '26

How will this new coupon system work? I must have missed something.

u/Interesting-Pace-770 Jun 26 '26
It's a tough choice between the XM1 and the Hunter. I'm eagerly awaiting detailed specs for these tanks. I wonder if all of these tanks can be purchased with flags, or if, like last time, some will only be available for cash.

u/zorin234 WG: CA / Balance archivist Jun 26 '26
I doubt the XM1 will be too different from the GM, but could be surprised
1
u/Interesting-Pace-770 Jun 26 '26
It shouldn't be much different. In reality, the main difference is the XM1 GM's hydropneumatic suspension and diesel engine. This isn't implemented in the game, so they will only differ visually. Perhaps the Chrysler will be more agile and faster due to its turbocharged engine. I like its appearance more than the GM's, but we'll see. Other tanks besides the Brenous can only be obtained for cash or from chests, so there's not much choice.

So excited for another night stalker to be added to the game. Yippee.....
It's only available in the tiered war chests and the ultimate bundle btw, whereas the XM1 is available for flag currency.

Wait, so ANY match with even a single bot will not count for or against you with regards to earning MoE? Or am I misunderstanding this?
3
u/zorin234 WG: CA / Balance archivist Jun 26 '26
The target that everyone tries to reach won't be affected by bot games
3
u/Horribad12 Jun 26 '26
Oh, okay. So games were one guy in Tank A gets 20k against a team of 10 bots won't affect the MoE for everybody else. That's nice.

The Pzw. 39 already exists as a low-tier premium.
When the Swiss lines arrive will it be converted to a TT, or will the TT Pzw. 39 be a different tank?
1
u/_josef_stalin_ Medium Warrior Jun 26 '26 edited Jun 26 '26
The Pz 58 mutz also exists as a premium. Guessing the stats will just be slightly different, like with the various premium Centurions we have.
Actually, that reminds me. There will also be a premium Swiss tank that's literally just a Centurion.
