I do wish all the folks that joined when WG first announced the forum closure had migrated here but it was put off so long many of them just disappeared. Hopefully keeping some active and current threads will help as this forum is found and visited. Yep, I sure hope we’re able to keep this forum alive. The Joco Discord is fine and all but it can get a little disorganized sometimes. Here, it’s more structured. But I can see why WGCB wanted to move to discord. The Official WoT Console Discord is a fucking mess - far too many things going on at once and you can’t even hold a decent conversation. And they’re free to pretty much control the narrative as much as they want. Closing the forums was never about money, it was about silencing the game’s critics and disgruntled players. Part of me thinks that the Devs had planned to close the forums after 6.0 hit and hoped that nobody would notice, but I think that the outcry by the majority of the community was so great (and to them, unexpected) that the forum closure was put on hold.

It sure seems like it was closed due to the loud outcry, and aftermath, of 6.0 Pretty much. Couldn't handle it.

I actually like the Joco discord. It has been rather nice seeing familiar names forget about tanks and just shoot the shit. I miss the heaviest traffic time as many of the members are from the UK/Europe and by the time I get home from work they've called it a day and are sawing logs. Still though to really discus anything the traditional forum is the way to go.

• WWII PvE • WWII Co-Op Mode places you on a team with up to fourteen other human players. You’ll be pitted against a team of fifteen savage AI players that have been programmed to achieve one goal: victory at all costs. • If there are not enough humans, your team will be supplemented with Bots to fill the roster.
• WWII Vehicles updated to use multiple weapon systems • The following vehicles will now be able to use their additional weapons during battle! Use these additional guns to take out softcover, track enemies, or engage lightly armored tanks to save your main weapons round to dealing damage! To access this weapon during battle, you will press and Hold the indicated weapon swap button on the HUD. • T1 Heavy Tank o 37mm Gun M5 • M6 o 37mm Gun M5 • Verzila KV-4 K + KV-4 K o 45mm 20K • Maus o 75 mm Kw.K 44 L/36 • E-100 o 7,5 cm Kw.K 37 L/24 NOTE: Improvements for the secondary reticle are still being worked on. The secondary reticle doesn't always line up with where the round will go and its accuracy will vary depending on distance to the target. We are also working to have the pen chance indicator update based on the active gun, currently it only reflects the main guns penetration values.
• Max 1 Arty per platoon, 3 per team
• Class Based Matchmaking fulltime • The class-based matchmaker is now implemented into the game. This matchmaker prioritizes balancing the Tier and Class of the vehicles to be as equal as possible for both teams. A special thanks to all who have been providing feedback over the last several tests! • Along with this, we've also made the following changes: • Removed the restriction that the number of platooned players should differ by no more than one. o This was causing a lot of balance issues with the new matchmaker as it wasn't possible to balance Tier and Class across both team and platoons at the same time. • Reduced the queue wait time for Tiers 1 and 2 to 45 seconds before it fills with bots if the minimum human requirement is met. • Reduced the human requirement to create a Tier 2 match from 11 to 7 • QoL • Additional Dynamic Detailed Stats • We have now completed Dynamic stat support! All stat displays will now reflect the benefits provided by any equipped Consumable, Equipment, Commander Skill, and Camouflage! • Along with this, we've also added additional information on the module displays so that it is more accessible o Engine Module: Forward and Reverse speed o Chassis Module: Terrain resistance o Turret Module: Health o Ammo Module: Name of the ammo
• Radial Command Updates • "Cover me" • "Need a Target" • "Defend this Position" • "No Shot!" To add these to the radial we had to remove the "sticky" function. This means that you'll need to keep the desired command selected as you close the radial menu. If you let your thumbstick return to the center before releasing the radial button, it will de-select the command.
• Currency changes: We have removed the Gold cost from the following items which can now be purchased using Silver! • Garage Slots • Permanent Emblems, Inscriptions, and Flags
• Armor Viewer: The armor ranges within the armor value now have separate ranges for WWII and Cold War. This allows you to see a more visual difference in armor thickness based on the mode you are in.
• Spectator Improvements • Team Health bars will now drain in opposite directions. • The camera icon on the mini-map to indicate which player is being spectated has been added. • Added the player's tank information panel, target tracker panel, and ammo panel when observing a specific player. • Many more improvements, including PRBS tweaks, contracts and Season UI improvement, Premium Tech Tree tab moved to the first slot, mini-map improvements
• Remastered Maps: • Nomonhan • WWII: Tier V+ • Cold War: Post War, Escalation, Detente • Size: 1200 x 1200 • Environment: Summer • Dragon Ridge • WWII: Tier V+ • Cold War: Post War, Escalation, Detente • Size: 1200 x 1200 • Environment: Summer
The Assault game mode has been added back into the rotation by player request. Thanks to those who took the survey!
• Maps Balance Updates: We've also made the following balance changes: • Pearl River • Cold War: Adjusted spawns to be further back from their current positions on all game modes
• Kaunas • Cold War: Encounter o Team 1 spawns have been split into two groups
• Raseiniai • Cold War: Encounter o Team 2 now spawns closer together • Cold War and WWII: Team Destruction o Team 2 now spawns closer together Upcoming

Also reduced the impact that rotation has on your dispersion to help with the narrow gun arc o Fangula & AE Phase 1: Improved reload and gun handling o AMX Chaffee: Increased health to 800 o Freedom/Super Pershing: Increase engine horsepower to have a better power to weight ratio • New WWII TT: Czech Heavies coming first week of May, join us next week for all the details!
Miscellaneous • Fixes o The Consumable slot selected will now move to the next open slot after equipping an item from your reserves. o Addressed an issue where the selection indicator box turns invisible. o The secondary gun on the E 100 no longer detaches from the turret o When selecting a Commander from the Filtered Commanders display, it now takes you to the correct Commander. o The floating base objects on Highway: Assault have now been removed. o Addressed an issue where your could soft lock if you accessed the armor viewer immediately after purchasing a tank o Lioness Skoda T45: Updated the gun name with an (A) for the Autoloader to more easily identify it as the autoloader gun.

Other • Investigating CBMM: Observed issues with Light tanks not being class balanced • Keeping an eye on the recently released T95E2 '57; was sitting at 67% win rate yesterday, seems to normalize although still a bit high at 55.6% • MoE Survey; next steps? PAINGOD will have more on this next week. The answers need to now be reviewed by the team. Thank you everyone that submitted a reply to it!
Questions #1 Question - Reddit User pickleFISHman Will Premium ammo and consumables also become silver only now? (Obviously, veteran players know how to switch, but this is in hopes of continuing to bridge the gap and not intimidating inexperienced players, and of course continuity) o This will be staying as is for the time being but they will be reviewed at some point and considered
#2 Question - Reddit User Moshpitti Could you introduce the Yoh tank's track mechanics to tanks like the Obj. 279e and AE Phase I? o Yoh Tanks are in the pipeline, but there is no timeline for it yet. Up first is the Multi Turret Tanks
#3 Question What are the next set of maps? o The Next Map should be Siegfried Line! #4 Question Can we have more Premiums with Free XP Bonuses? T32-A Proto was the last one and feels like it was a long time ago? o This is going to be looked into to see if it can be made possible!
#5 Question Any chances on getting colorful minimaps again? o It is on the wishlist! A ticket is going to be filed for this. Stay tuned for more information on this!
#6 Question Can we expect new Hero/Special skins for other Tier X Tanks? • The Chieftan Mk 6 Concept was shown. Tune in next week for the next concept! These skins were picked from the poll the community voted on
#7 Question Have you already tested extreme weather on any map with the new console as a test? o Priority one is bringing back maps. Weather Variants are on hold for the moment until the majority of maps are back
#8 Question Any plans on introducing "Collector's TAB" where we could buy old tech tree tanks for silver? o This can be looked into by the team!
#9 Question Ribbons? o They are being worked on in game. Its on PAINGODs list to do
#10 Question Wojtek Tactical Gear? o This was a concept for a future skin for him, but is on hold for now
#11 Question Cross Progression? Is this possible? o Not at the current moment due to the restrictions in place
