    1. They say this every year yet the game somehow keeps getting worse and worse. It’s just hopium so the whales keep paying.

  1. These tanks should appear in 2025 and I will be happy: SU 203 – ISU 203 – SU SMK 180 – Object 263 mounted with 180 mm Object 261 anti tank gun – SU 152 Taran – Object 167T gas turbine T62 – Object 705 650 alpha buffed to 750 alpha – T62A buffed – Object 140 buffed – Object 268v5 buffed – IS6 buffed – T54 mod 1 buffed – Type 59 buffed – AMX CDC buffed – Sturmtiger – Bar – Grille 15, 17 cm gun or 21 cm gun version – JagdMaus – Object 435 – T62 – Object 278 gas turbine Object 277 version – Object 770 – Object 279 – Object 268v3 – Object 715 – Object 203 this is a fucking Lesta is a work of art and a masterpiece that should appear as a tank destroyer with 1450 AP ammo alpha and 1850 HE ammo alpha and a HEAT ammo alpha with 1450 with decent penetration. Make my dream come true WG and start finally caring about your game!

      1. The T62A is the worst damage-dealing tier 10 medium tank in the game, the Object 140 is the 3rd worst damage-dealing tank! Tell me more, you German tank fan, how can I fuck that stupid head of yours!

        It doesn’t matter what people write because 80% of the players are brain dead, that’s why there is no development because it’s unnecessary, just throw premium tanks and lootboxes in the premium shop because these unfortunate mentally disabled people can’t handle more brain capacity than how to enter bank card details and buy, then deliver 2 damaging shots per battle, but the point is that you can play the newest autistic tank!

        1. Have wanted to buy the T-62A for a long time but it’s just too weak, if they do buff it I hope it stays in the collectors shop for the same price.

          1. collector’s tanks aren’t getting buffed anytime soon, hard truth but it is what it is. there’s no point in buffing them for wg, you can just buy them in game currency.. no grind, paywall or anything = no incentive for wg to even think about them

          2. What do you mean weak? I had mine three marked in less than a month and average damage per battle up to date is 5,762; so definitely not weak, you just have to know how to use it

            1. It’s this why WG don’t listen to players.
              When you have some 47% player crying about poor tanks 😂😂😂

  2. *Object 705A 650 alpha buffed to 750 alpha! Object 203 this is a fucking masterpiece created by Lesta that should appear as a tank destroyer with 1450 AP ammo alpha and 1850 HE ammo alpha and a premium HEAT ammo with 1450 alpha with decent penetration.

  3. Wasn`t WoT Express (Russian) recently talking non sense about Wargaming not getting new maps and went on praising Lesta papaganda

  4. Every end of year WG announce an these wonderful things that will happen in the next year and we are lucky if two things happen.

    This is just fantasy to keep you playing wot rather than all the other brand new games you got over Xmas…

    But here have yet more premium tanks 🤦🏼‍♂️

    1. literally everything wg announced for 2024 happened, what rock have you been under? all the rebalances, events, lines.. everything.

  5. yeah sure, new mechanics are what the game needs. just like war thunder, they would rather add fucking niche mechanics and shit instead of fixing the problems players cry about for years.
    russians and belorussians cant run games in the long term.

  6. “Focus on Tiers 6, 7, and 8 balance and new matchmaker with a quality-of-life focus”. Yeah, I will believe that when I see it. Remember when they promised “comprehensive” balancing in 2024? All they managed was a couple of tanks from two tech tree lines and fewer Tier VIII tanks balanced than there were monetization events.

    1. Well, in all fairness, they did rebalance the entire Bat-Chat, K-91 and M48 Patton lines from tier 5 or 6 to tier 10 (other than M48, which is pretty much unchanged). Also, Minotauro line was nerfed alltogether. Sadly, only S.Conq was nerfed and the rest of the line is still standing very strong – not much reason to go from tier 9 Conqueror to the tier X. What they need to address at this point is Ho-Ri line (especially tier 7 and 8), Type 71 line and Concept 5 line. Also, buff some of the OG tier premiums, such as AMX CDC, FCM 50t, T34 as well as the collector’s tanks AMX 30B and T-62A. I feel like tier 10 has never been as balanced as it is at the moment.

      1. Yes but an extra 3kmh or 0.3 reloading speed isn’t going to make any difference. But at least they buffed it huh huh 🙄
