WOT Express: World of Tanks 2.0 Update – What To Expect

WOT Update 2.0 in 2025

Since the “Polygon” (Lesta – Mir Tankov – WoT RU) will receive its “revolutionary” update in January, let’s take a PRELIMINARY look at what we can expect in the second half of the year as part of the large WoT 2.0 update.

This information is current as of October 2024 and may change.

What to expect

  • Transition to a new game engine version + internal developer updates
  • Graphics, environment, shadows, dynamic effects updates, new “heavy” tank textures
  • Ability to fine-tune graphics more precisely
  • Branch expansion beyond tier 10 + Introduction of “high-tier” vehicles + tier 11 in the game

The first 4 points are the most important and lay the groundwork.

  • New mechanics for high-tier vehicles + new effects for them

  • New nation

  • New researchable branch, N

  • Hangar 2.0

  • Personal Missions / Campaign 4.0 + tanks + new features for Personal Missions

  • New game mode (postponed)

  • New matchmaker version + many minor improvements here

  • Large vehicle rebalancing, pack N (including vehicles below tier 8)

  • Improved quality of life

  • Improved UX/UI

  • Addition of user modifications

  • Final changes to Crew

  • New map

  • Map rebalancing, pack N

  • Adding a pack of maps for Random Events, N

*Where N is indicated, there will be several of them, just throughout 2025.

  1. WoT Express (Wotclue – ru player) – The game is closing (like Wotclue said every year)

    1. with them it is always the same shit, it is always a broken tank being sold in every event or the game dying

        1. go play that then.. bet you’re one of those who types “LOSE” in chat first minute in the game

          1. Yes because my win chance mod tells the % win or loss.
            Even without that, you can tell if it’s a win or loss within the first 2 minutes.

            1. lmao.. an XVM user, go fuck yourself. morons like you just see those number and decide to suicide. every wot player HATES your kind , you swine

                1. thats fucking bs blud.
                  plenty of times i carried battles with below 20% win chance.
                  xvm is for copers only

  2. =)))))))) wtf is this? This post is pure BS.
    It might happen for WoT RU, but with WG? There’s no fcking way they push out this much contents in a single year.
    WG is fcking lazy. Even small balance patches take them forever.

    1. for sure a lot of will be push backed into next year and another and another — (taking for example how long they took to announce crew update (tease with free crew transfer) and actually release — one year later and more — if am not mistaken on that)

      1. that’s because the original crew rework was utter shit and would have killed the game, so WG listened and decided to take more time. you guys are NEVER satisfied smh

        1. “Never satisfied”? They wanted to use the Crew Rework as a new milking system.
          That’s why the backlash was so fcking insane that they had to back off for a more reasonable crew update.

          WG did listen to the community a few times, yeah, Rubicon, Crew Rework, 279e/Chieftain, all the total garbage that nobody asked for =))))))))

          How about the Pro65 nerf? How about M4 54 buff/nerf? How about Concept 5 line? How about Type 5 HT line?
          How about the maps? How about the fcking outdated 8 y/o MM?

          Tell me how many tanks got fixed this year? Why the fck it took them so long to make those small stats adjustments?

          Defending WG is the most stupid thing a WoT player can do.
          Why? Because WG sucks a massive D.

          1. Exactly.
            You always get these trolls who think the sun shines out of WG asshole.

            The above article is about wot ru so there’s far more chance that these changes will happen versus wot EU etc.

          2. everyone asked for a crew rework, no one wanted to train new crew just because the tank has different roles. it got fixed.

            279e/chieftain: good tanks that were added as reward for being good, nerfed because they were being an issue, fixed.

            amx 54 had the same handling on a 130mm gun that it had on the 120mm.. that’s unbalanced and thus.. nerfed, fixed.

            prog 65 was nerfed unnecessarily, that i agree.

            buffing type 5 isn’t as easy as you think it is, a niche playstyle tank is difficult to buff because you can tweak something that’d give players an unnecessary advantage.

            maps? yeah.. current roster is full of shit shows like airfield and mountain pass, let’s pump out 2 more every year so it’s impossible to fix any.

            enough tanks got fixed, if you are looking at lesta rebalancing.. also remember that their game has assault artys with 500mm effective armor, flamethrower tanks, tier 11 and ridiculous monetization with multi stage lootboxes and t10s in them, even t10s like WT e100.
            the new lines are shit because WG always try to put in a new gimmick and are afraid of making them too strong.

            neither Lesta’s wot and nor WG’s WOT is perfect, but WG wot is leagues ahead in terms of how balanced the game is. you wanna see how lesta plans on destroying their game? go and take a look at tier 11’s obj 279, and that thing will be facing upto tier 9s… very same mistake wg made once with chieftian and 279e but fixed eventually, i.e making an all round heavy that’s impenetrable regardless of where you are shooting it.

            1. Yet RU has millions of live players. Whereas EU is lucky to have 50,000 even during these Xmas events. NA isnt even worth talking about…..

  3. WG will not close WoT. In any case, 2.0 will be a change of graphics engine as happened in the 1.0 update. 70% of the players are always the same and nobody in their right mind would start a new WoT from scratch. They don’t buy all these lies… WoT 2.0 will be a change of graphics engine with multiple improvements. Nothing out of this world…

  4. I want to share my discovery — the AI Baby Generator website, which my husband and I found quite entertaining. We uploaded photos of both of us and selected the gender of the child, and in a moment, an image appeared that looked like a real baby. I was particularly impressed by the attention to detail: the shape of the face, the eyes, even the texture of the skin — it all looked natural https://aibabygenerator.ai It’s like a glimpse into the future. No need to install anything, no need to pay anything up front, just a few clicks online. For a couple planning to have a baby, this is a great opportunity to see what their little one might look like, just out of curiosity or for a heartwarming moment.

  5. I recently came across something really interesting and thought it was worth sharing — it’s called [iBabyGlow](https://www.ibabyglow.com).

    After a recent ultrasound appointment, I was curious (and honestly a bit impatient 😄) about what the baby might look like. I uploaded a B ultrasound image to the site, and within seconds, it generated a preview of the baby — not just at birth, but also how they might look as a newborn and even at a few months old.

    What surprised me most wasn’t just the image itself, but the idea of seeing a **timeline** — it felt more like watching a little story unfold rather than just getting a single picture. The details were quite thoughtful too, especially around facial structure and expressions, which made the whole experience feel more personal.

    Another thing I liked is that you don’t need to sign up just to try it. You can upload your scan and immediately see a first preview for free, which is nice if you just want to explore out of curiosity.

    It’s definitely not something to take as a real prediction, but more like a fun and emotional way to connect with the pregnancy journey. I can imagine this being really meaningful for parents, or even something cute to share with family — especially those who live far away.

    If you’ve recently had an ultrasound or are just curious like I was, it might be worth trying:

    It’s a small but surprisingly heartwarming experience.

  6. Just wanted to share a BSB lookup site I came across — https://bsblookup.au . It’s simple, fast, and has details for all major banks including CBA, ANZ, Westpac, and NAB. Unlike some other sites, it doesn’t ask you to sign up or anything. If you ever need to double-check a BSB number before a bank transfer, it’s worth bookmarking.

  7. I never really thought about how important it is to be able to check the battery level of my Bluetooth devices until I started using wireless headphones and a mouse every day. That’s when the problems began: the devices would run out of battery at the worst possible moment. And you only realize it once they’ve already turned off. I tried checking the battery level through the system, but it’s inconvenient and unreliable. Eventually, I found https://workstation-master.com/bluetooth-battery-level.html and decided to give it a try. It turned out to be exactly what I was missing. Now I can see the battery levels of all my devices in real time, plus I get notifications. Everything works smoothly and without any extra configuration. It’s a very useful tool, especially if you use Bluetooth frequently.

  8. Introducing tier 11 and high-tier vehicles is a huge shift for WoT. I’m curious how this will impact game balance and if older tanks will still feel relevant after these changes. https://bananai.io/
