WoT: Showcase of New Tanks in the WoT 2025 Gameplay Trailer

In April, a new gameplay trailer for World of Tanks (PC) was released. Overall, the video is simple and highlights the core aspects of the game.

However, at the 39-second mark, while boasting about more than 800 vehicles in the game, they accidentally revealed tanks that are either unavailable to players in the client or have never even appeared on the Supertest.

1. First Screenshot:
• Two new tanks are noticeable.
• The German tank in the foreground is not precisely identified, but many players think it resembles the Rheinmetall Begleitwagen.
• The Soviet tank stands out due to its monstrous size but remains unidentified. It could be one of the Soviet super-heavies from a canceled branch, but it seems more like a freshly developed model rather than something pulled from the archives.

2. Background Highlight:
• A four-tracked BZT-70 is visible in the background.
• This tank has appeared in the console version of WoT.
• Considering it an “11th tier” is naive — it is likely being developed as a Tier X heavy tank and may be released soon.

3. Third Screenshot:
• As all the models shown are in HD quality, the tank in the third screenshot is also new.
• The Lorraine G1 L had its icon leaked to the Supertest back in 2012.
• However, the model shown here is new and recently developed.

4. Fourth Screenshot:
• Shown here is the KV-122S, which first appeared in the Supertest during version 1.0.
• Its characteristics are identical to the regular KV-122, but it has an interesting inscription on the side of the turret: “Norilsk Metallurg.”
• Most likely, its release was canceled back then.

5. Interesting Tank Destroyer:
• The SG-122 tank destroyer is also shown.
• An icon for this tank was previously discovered on a Wargaming artist’s website, but it was old, from the SD graphics era.
• The model shown here is new, suggesting it might be released in the future.

6. Final Tank:
• The Tiger 217 is present in the game files but never officially released.
• It was developed alongside the Tiger 131.
• Its association with the famous tank commander Otto Carius might have prevented its release, as indicated by its historical description in-game.

Other Observations:
• Tanks like the T-44-85 / Light T-44 and the Chrysler MTC 2TC were also spotted — these were released exclusively for the Chinese region.
• Other interesting models were shown too, though they already exist in the game files.

Note:
The massive tank display scene was created using internal tools to fit so many tanks in one location. It seems the person arranging them wasn’t deeply familiar with which vehicles had officially been released and just placed whatever models were available (heh).
This shouldn’t be considered an official announcement of these tanks. However, it is likely that some of them are indeed in development and may be introduced in the near future.
