NOT the Future of World of Tanks in 2025

[@QuickyBabyTV]

Just adding a caveat that Wargaming have since changed the title of their video to "The Future of World of Tanks in 2025 *Teaser*" clearly indicating they meant this to be a teaser and not a roadmap, as with previous years. This is unfortunate as it had the exact same title as their previous roadmaps upon release and the first few hours. I'd like to reiterate that WG don't usually tell us about patches far in advance so I do expect September will be significant and (hopefully) worth waiting for.

[@chris_hisss]

Yeah still a huge fail for them, this is like a segment of roadmap, right? Not a standalone. Title swapping oops guys lol. Good thing they run it by thier ccs to make sure things look right.

[@kelogorn]

@@QuickyBabyTV Still, why make a teaser for a *Teaser* ?

Modern tanks. The side armour scene is late 70s/early 80s Russian tech.

[@petricacatalin6145]

Sure modern tanks and for this i Guess tier 11

[@sheabrockhoff2279]

They might possibly just add modern armor, the version that console world of tanks has, to base world of tanks.

[@sheabrockhoff2279]

Pretty much an entirely seperate game mode but uses lay Cold War to modern vehicles

[@TheEdwin73]

Cool gimme T90 variants, and working smoke launchers, not just eye candy, drone spotting e.t.c.

[@sheabrockhoff2279]

@@TheEdwin73 lots of the tanks that have secondary auto cannons or launchers have them work. Like most ifvs have both armaments working. I’m not sure if smokes and stuff like that do though. I stopped playing it shortly after the implementation.

[@predatorgaming164]

I believe this has to do with new campaign missions. The teaser showcases the build of a brand new tank, while also showing a new map (just like the existing campaigns). So if we put those two together, I think we're getting a third front with a new reward vehicle

[@StronkiTube]

To me it looks like a new Campaign mission series, considering the board and a new tank.

[@imma5761]

New campaign, new garage, new engine?

[@tim_gho2292]

dude i just now predicted that it will be new campaign after taking a look at the map

[@bikedoc4145]

[@rmartuszewski]

[@c_sho]

Why would they have a trailer for a black market next year 😂😂and with a personal campaign map?? Bro rly?

[@lloritoovidexequield.8609]

No QB, that's not reactive armor, that's Slat/Bar/Cage armor. It's meant to defeat high explosive anti-tank projectiles (think the common RPG used by insurgents and terrorists)

[@obi-wlankenobi]

1:26 that are side skirts. You can find them on the T62M-1 as an example or other russian modern tanks like the T72s.. Edit: There are for anti Heat FS munition. Basically space armor. Reactive Armor looks a littel bit differnt.

[@simonzprahy9270]

werent they also used to spoof visual rangefinding, as in making the vehicle look wider, therefore making the enemy guess the range wrong and miss?

[@obi-wlankenobi]

@simonzprahy9270 could be the case. I only wrote down which i learned from the tank museum in munster.

[@Tankcat1337]

3:51 "the up and down here" You called it. The two lifting platforms are intended to represent a scale. Will definitely be some kind of "balancing". Whatever that means in wargaming. xD And 2025 will be the 15th anniversary

[@QuickyBabyTV]

Good calls!

[@louistevfik]

15th anniversary is here The new campaign is coming - a new mechanic with a silent barrel will be in the game - a new black market/assemble shop is close - Fisherman Bay will have a change and Frontline will have random events. - Tier 6s will have their own event (I don't know what it can be)

[@dame1045]

Nah Wargaming is releasing a movie with how far away that date is

[@SnahLhug]

1:22 looks like the bridge in the Paris map being bombarded and destroyed.

[@TheAdaoo7]

Finally, they're deleting Paris

[@SnahLhug]

1:18 looks to me like either Fjords or Fisherman's Bay. We don't have a random happenstance for those maps yet.

[@daxie__3210]

​@@FAB1AN1337did wg not learn from the wot console cold war update, they basically butchered wot console with that update.

[@remmidypx9146]

its WOT 2.0 its obvious, but its just a teaser of this major update that will come in September 2025

[@ArchangelThunderbird]

i'd say it's kind of a world of tanks 1.0 type patch. it makes absolutely no sense to tease something so far into the future if it isn't something they've been working on a long time. because if it isn't big it will be a real stinker to keep people waiting for almost an entire year.

[@ChicoAlpha]

​@FAB1AN1337 it'll be cold war like on console, separate from world War 2

[@balsabozovic4510]

LMAO, we got baited hard

[@martensmid2760]

The barrel at 5:16 might be a new mecanisme where you can open and close them choosing between closed (suppressor) and more concealment while firing but less accuracy and open (louder) more accuracy but less concealment

[@antonitomasik8946]

That's just a fancy ass bore evacuator that WG created

[@cameronboyce4695]

The headlight may indicate night maps, The up and down with the tank lifts may indicate balancing The periscope looked like it could have been a thermal sight The swinging armor caging could mean the ability to add spaced or maybe even reactive armor The exhaust cold indicate smoke screens. If anything, they need to add changeable garages like you have in Warships.

[@DataDrifter404]

When I watched it I thought: what a waste of my time. but now I think it was good commercial move: to leave people in uncertainty for another 9 months, means people who were going to quit this game won't quit. Also had they reveal their plan for September, some of people would rage quit the game knowing they won't like the idea, without even seeing it. They said nothing, just created bit of hype to keep players playing. If I were to improve the game I would leave the current WOT the way it is and above tier 10 I'd create tank generations iso tiers. Some 2nd generation tanks are in T10 of the game, but not all of them. second Generation and 3rd generation tanks could play in separate MM from T10 and lower tiers. Imagine possibility of playing T72s and Challengers. In the future Generation 4 could be added as well. Game would be interesting af in my opinion.

[@Donanzador]

What's there to be hyped about tho? They literally showed nothing. Just a very ambiguous date several months into the future. I'd say that is quite the opposite, more of a reason to quit (or at least take a longer break) knowing there isn't anything new to look forward into, until September.

[@Sturmpd]

As some people have pointed out, the side skirts look to be a T62-M1, which is a Cold War premium tank on console. It looks like you guys are getting the console treatment, which would be a new mode (Cold War), new matchmaking system, ect.

[@sebastianraab4887]

Oh yes please new MM, that's been the worst aspect of the game for soo many years now

[@nacho71ar]

5:28 soviets had side plates called dvht -1 zontik most know them as gill armor or skirt armor... actually considered spaced armor.... on their T-64s designed to protect against antitank weapons... nothing new and didn't work... even less after ATWs started dropping from above.

[@yaodai2459]

Remember that in real life HEAT shells and ATGMs at that time were around 400-500mm penetration. WOT balanced HEAT round in game as WG compressed too many cold war things into WW2 tiers.

[@slick8718]

world of warships have a ship yard where you can see the ship getting build while playing missions for it maybe something like that.

[@worldofameiso5491]

I reckon there is a suggestion of night battles with infra-red night sights.

[@TheRobijas007]

New assembly shop, changes to Maus, Blyskawicza,... Possibly new, 3rd set of personal missions. And Black Market once again. I recognized Fisherman's Bay in one of the explosion, and what seems to me the old Windstorm map..

[@RADFROOD25]

Hey at least you get a teaser we on console don't get to know anything at all until it drops

[@kelogorn]

They learned from the previous yearly "Future of WoT" vids with concrete info that we can always point out next year what missed, instead from now on they'll point you to next year's vid with absolutely nothing concrete :D Well played WG...

[@djbossnotfound8213]

The only thing when i saw the tank like that was t11 tanks or higher tier in general, in my opinion.

[@zeroremorse24x7]

They would have better spent the time animating a stick figure doing jumping jacks

[@sinistercopy]

Could it be as you add Vents optics ect. you get special adds to your tanks showing that you have them equipped if you have bounty or improved changes the 3D modeling?

[@dave.verschoore]

@Quickybaby if you look good its the american MBT-B tank

[@___von___7377]

Looking at just the hull at 2:22, it looks kind of similar to the MBT's hull, though the front is shaped a bit differently. Then again, it does have 8 sprockets ("wheels") on either side and looks kind of similar to an American hull, so it very well could be. I also double-checked the hull of another tier 10 that's being supertested, the DBV-152 (Czech reward TD), and it has the large sprockets on the front instead of the rear (The MBT-B has them on its rear)

[@SuperC0w5]

This looks like a launch trailer for a game that isn't out yet.

[@gebhard128]

I see wargaming is 100% transparent with its future plans for the game

[@miwa8493]

[@fv4202x]

[@theboshow9697]

Or they could do what they did with warships and allow you to change it

[@teamtrouble2003]

I think the only players that are complaining about the random events is the veteran players who have the advantage of map knowledge. I think all maps should be changed annually to keep it fresh. I get bored playing the same game over and over. I require change to stay interested.

[@Donanzador]

I think you misunderstood the problem with the random events. It's not the events themselves, but the fact that the event maps make other maps unnecessarily rare, literally making you see less variety in the maps you play.

[@talibumbum5981]

Looks like some t72 type of side armor. Be prepared to get cold War mode like console got. It's sucks. It's like cod but with tanks.

[@AleksandarM987]

Modern OP tanks, to compete against the existing late WW2 and early cold war era tanks. Gonna make us regular players quit even more.

[@TheAdaoo7]

To be fair we've always had a modern tank in the form of the strv 103 (its called the 103B in game but its literally a 103C lol. Making it a 1987 tank)

[@TDenterpriser]

Oh no not my precious meta!

[@cazaplata]

Wot console has 2 game modes. One for classic tanks and other for cold war +

[@yurkafrankvel966]

Tier XII hovercraft hybrid between all tank types with 4k damage per shot and 17k dpm and 800 view range. 5000k hp and 90km per hour. You can only grind this new tier with Wot premium plus and EVERYTHING COSTS GOKD AND BONDS.

[@paulmrobertson]

It would be wild (and potentially broken if not implemented correctly) if we got to mix and match modules from different tanks to take custom tanks onto the battlefield. It would be insanely complicated, especially when it comes to stats, MOE, and the like, but it'd be entertaining, at least in a separate game mode.

[@bogdanferu1160]

The new map is actually an old one brought back... Swamp... Personally, I love swamp... its one of those maps that had a lot of issues... like when both teams spawned far away from their base and often both teams would cap without even encountering the other team... Or another example is the team on the right side had a big advantage, because if they had a fast and armored havy or medium they can rush to a position where they would spot most of the enemy team and that tank would have been covered by his TDs camping at the back, and also be hull down against the enemies who were trying to dig him out... But apart from those misshaps, Swamp was a great map... now that WG will bring it back in HD mode, hopefully they will fix those issues plaguing the map...

[@evanulven8249]

The bits of tank we actually saw were from a Cold War-era soviet deathtrap, so I suppose tier 11 tanks or "WoT: Modern" is coming.

[@airenrain]

Honestly what Wargaming needs to fix is their matchmaking, I honestly wouldn’t be opposed to getting rid of the whole +2 matchmaking, it just doesn’t feel good, you’re either a top tier and you feel like a god, or a bottom tier and you feel like you’re better off just going afk, or a middle tier in which case it’s a good match for you. I also think that matchmaking style encourages power creep of premium tanks and new tech trees and balancing of old trees because they have to balance the tanks to be able to fight at least two tiers higher for those that can have that matchmaking and then that makes those vehicles seem either bad or super op which isn’t healthy for such a popular game. If I had the ability to change it I would make it to where you can either get into +1 matchmaking, -1 matchmaking, or same tier matchmaking, it creates a more competitive environment because in most of those matchmakings then your lower tier opponents can actually be a threat and you have to worry about them.

[@gianmarcoguarnier5228]

5:07 that's Paris bridge collapsing

[@juanzulu1318]

I see a cool Warganing Trailer. But what I will get are clown cars und clown camos.

[@StrLab]

There are some leaks about WoT 2.0 (it has been postponed many times, it was suposed to launch Spring 2025, so it will be something big), the biggest change is Tier 11 tanks (we have seen some on the RU server, we don't know if they will make it for all the servers since they are developed by Lesta games), unfortunately those tier 11 tanks are fake, I hope we will see real tanks like Chieftain/Challenger/T-72/Abrams. I expect huge changes for WoT 2.0, one thing is for sure, if they change the spoting mechanism (with the introduction of Modern tanks) QB will be upset! I just hope we will see tier 11/12 tanks but on their own MM with their own mechanisms seperately from standard MM.

[@robertflint4115]

WTH. The future of world of tanks 2025. Coming to you after half years over.😂😂

[@inthelava1315]

Seems to be indicating a new line being built in the foundry there, the 6th light indicating it was currently building the tier 6 of the new line through tier 10. I would say the rest of it was teasing the type of line being introduced. Maybe the gimmick is reactive armor?

[@bastersturm]

i think of Assembly Line like in Warships with a new campain (map) , the tanks under blankets on the lifting platforms could be black market 1:19 it is to open to be fjorde, could it be the river in outpost 1:20 to sandy for Safe Haven but where is such a desstructable bunker? el Haffuf or airfield rework? 1:22 Bridge in Paris

[@Arkangel88Mr]

Modern, rubber tank track pads ? Reactive armor like side shields? Highly sloped hulls? What could go wrong?

[@themadarchitect6857]

Clearly youll get to design a tank in a specific mode.

[@xben9216]

What I could thing with all this is a new tech tree line, new campaign, addable 3D components, 3 new maps with events (based on look Fjords, Overlord(?) and Paris), possibly new gun and engine mechanic. Some could wrong but I would think these would be the hints that the video gives.

[@jonathanfalkman6041]

I think that the shot where they wheigh two tanks next to eachother means that WG will focus on rebalancing old vehicals

[@SimoneLodiDraco90]

Just for your knowledge: you can use the " , " key and the " . " key for going frame backwards and forward in YT videos! :)

[@WhiteFox969]

Would it be possible that wg is adding hull as a researchable module, so there’s “stock hull”?

[@NoobMicesters]

So what i gathered was: New campaign New random events the first one looked like the fishermans bay map, the 2nd look like the desert map but with a tunnel in it, and the 3rd looked like paris with the vridge collapsing. The scales appeared to show that theyre doing some form of major rebalancing to the game. The binoculars on the tank to me read as new mechanics around spotting, perhaos a spotting rework.

[@mohammadqadri5065]

in wot blitz there are consumables like reactive armor which reduce damage taken, and reticle calibration which improves accuracy and aim time all for a short period. I think that's what they were hinting personally idk

[@ilconfusionista7720]

My feeling is (following the video's order): .New assembly shop .New Campaign(s?) .Dynamic lighting (🤷🏻) .New vehicle line (it seems like it has a narrow barrel and a thick gun mount, maybe some pop-pop-pop type of gun such as the Maus in rapid fire? Definitively looks European by the looks of the tracks, with rubberized track links) .Vehicle balancing (that was quite obvious QB, come on 😂) .New equipment (just my feeling) .New Frontline maps or tier (usually there is big river separating the 3 fronts. They tried putting tier 9 in tier 8 Frontline, but they didn't try full tier 9 or full tier 10) .New mechanics or some premonition of future events .New mechanics (for sure. Like some Soviet line with a lot of spaced armor) .Tier 1 to 6 revamp (they have been unattended for a bit actually) That's my take on it

[@mawi2988]

What I think I saw was tank rebalancing, tier 5 and 6 (that was the tanks going up an down and 5 and 6 lights burning. You also saw stats on screens going up, so it seems they mean tier 5 and 6 tanks will be buffed. The map seems to me new personal missions. The vision thingy might mean a new way of how vision works. Perhaps we are getting the thing that you only spot tanks in the direction you are looking. The 3 explosions seem to say more random evens in randoms. but also in frontline and steel hunter. The gun with 4 thingies on it says to me we are going to get the 4th gunmark for 100% marking. The last part I am unsure about, it could be more 3D attachments which can actually do something in battle, but because of the "september 2025" bit, it must be something big, so I am guessing we will finally see tier 11 and 12 with moder armor.

[@pjsmorgasbord5936]

The module on top of the turret smacks of either night vision or heat to me

[@ognjenbegicevic6298]

Modern tanks. T-72b has "fish-gill" armor as seen in video

[@VsUK]

I think the only thing WG can do to revive the game, is by slowly expanding the tiers of tanks beyond Tier 10. Maybe start off to T12 & expand over time to introduce more modern tanks, because lets be honest, they're ton's of them. I think this is what this big September 2025 date is about. The ONLY thing I can see wargaming doing for World of Tanks is expanding the tank tiers beyond X to XI or XII. Because they're doing a lot of monetisation of the game. And this would really pump in a lot of money if this was the case.

[@JohnBlund94]

The side flaps looks like the flaps that are on the T-64/T-72 tanks.

[@tichon1981]

I think the garage will be more interactive. There might come more things you can do with the tanks more modifications as equipment and so on to improve the performance of the tank.

[@noahplato6597]

Maybe New personal campaigns, option to assemble your own tank(s), tier 11 maybe by how very modern those tanks looked, new 3D attachments?

[@amar9695]

The quality of details and graphics are crazy in that video, maybe we will get a graphics upgrade?

[@doubleutubefan5]

6:00 I'll bet the 6 lights means tier 1-6 will be rebalanced heavily. 7-10 will stay similar

[@duncan680]

Looking at this as old WoT player and now WoWs player I see construction. In WoWs you have a drydock where a certain high level ship is being build depending on your progress with certain missions. So when I see this I would this a Tank Factory with the same idea. In WoWs you have 20 sections to be build maybe the lights means 10 stages??

[@markcristian82]

New line of thanks, new Campaign map with a new meta tank, new experimental vision system, 4th mark on tanks, new random events and so on.....

[@marksilvester6818]

I'd go for a new personal missions, we were shown a map and the the 5 components that make up a tank, hull, engine, tracks, turret and gun

[@marcbjorg4823]

First thing I would do is to replace the anemic Maybach in my Jagdtiger with two Mopar Hemi V8s each with 1,500hp.

[@Superbiist]

About that 1.0 drought. Any developing company will stabilize the product for as long they see to be needed before such a big event, that 1.0 was. There is million and two things to go pear shaped. And same is afterwards. They need data, they need tools to fix stuff. They see the clitches in the background data. I think the upgrade went really, really well. Sure, with bigger team, there could have been content, but that means more boxes and stupid recycled tanks or what ever. Money. On that teaser I got a feeling that they could do a revision to the game engine? 2.0 may be too much, but a "facelift" maybe?

[@kingharlausthe1st684]

On WoT reddit there was a post with alleged leaks regarding 2025 and patch 2.0 was being discussed which if true could fall on that september 2025 date I guess

[@gracjanlada4622]

I think it could be additional attachments for tanks, like attachable armour plating that add to overall armour, maybe a new guns, like smoothbore guns... I could see MRS on the barrel. Maybe they are heading to wards Project CW? Introduction to Tier 11?

[@marcbarlow2274]

I played World of Tanks since a few months after it released years and years ago until just 2 years ago. I spent $1000s over the years on digital 'tanks' and had a lot of fun but let's be real.
