Right now just a starting point/copy of the official subreddit, because I want to get the ball rolling. Any of the mods can contact me and I'll be more than happy to give them the same roles they have on Reddit.

Currently a terrible, low effort copy paste.

Welcome to the /r/WorldOfTanksConsole wiki. This is intended as a collection of all the information, guides and events we as a community create. Enjoy! (We used to be just WoTXbox before PS4 WoT got released so you may find something useful at /r/WorldofTanksXbox/ as an archive of info.)

Lots of tanks getting a buff here. Good stuff?

Apparently there’s also a large balance pass we’re going to find out soon, but the key takeaway here is… Widepark tier 3 to 8? Really? I’m not sure if I like that.

We’re getting the Star Trek event! We’re getting the Star Trek event! So, so, so very much happy about this! I’ve been watching pc get it, then slowly it crept into all other WG products and finally! The one I enjoy. Yessssssss. 🖖

Update Notes for July 23, 2024 (modernarmor.worldoftanks.com)

This looks like a substantial update. Lots of tanks getting balance changes (slower reload for the Type 5 heavy, really?), a change of how low tier auto cannons work, ATGM have an indicator that you are too close and also they accelerate faster. Plus new season. 4 hours update downtime.

I’m grumpy about the Type 5.

That looks convoluted. The part I’m not happy about is how it has a contract style, and while my personal tastes are subjective, what it means is that it tends to bunch all the player base in the same step, so at points “everyone” will be after kills, at others spotting only… thankfully it can be done in coop, as the bots will keep doing their thing regardless.

Also: pc got Star Trek, when do we get those goodies?

That’s a lot of stuff! They’re changing the UI, a boatload of tanks, a couple of game mechanics for Cold War, fixing bugs… I’m not sure I like some changes, like the French tier 10 arty getting a reload buff (NOT a fan of that specific tank) or German tanks getting better damage but worse reload to compensate. Also worth noting that this will take 4 hours.

Oh, and they added pretty reflections on PS5/XSX.

Having said that, I’m asking for a little favor: sometimes the links I post get downvoted, and to be honest I don’t mind, but if something isn’t welcome let me know why! As far as I can tell all I’ve been posting is useful or interesting to know, so I’m not seeing a pattern.

The ISU-130 has plenty downsides, but if you can sneak to the side, the other team will feel it. Also not mentioned in this article is a balance pass in WWII for over 90 tanks, with the details coming Monday. I am always worried when it’s a large balance pass like this…

I’ll be honest, I didn’t see it was cold war only and kinda started to dread an invasion of Swedish cheese wedges…

I think the highlight here, and something that lacks a separate article, is the two weeks of On Track for the Chinese heavy line. Always the best time to grind a line when it’s On Track!

Neat stuff! The rare GuP Panzer IV H is going to be available again and there’s new commanders related to that. This one holds some sentimental value to me, as the event to earn it (close to the launch of the PS4 version) was what actually got me into the game!

Personal experience: the STA-2 is very squishy, but a great tank with PMM. The Senshi (together with the black edition) is great because you also get camouflage by default.

Mildly excited about the TD, however now we’re going to have a Type 5 heavy, medium and TD…

Ah, the Rudy… I remember when they announced it, pc had it for some time now, and their dog barked on reload. Ours, was confirmed to not bark. This was before we got custom commander voices. Anyway they got lots of complaints, and they scrambled to get the dog to bark in time for the launch of the bundle! It was a success and probably the basis for all the custom voices we have now, but initially it also started a string of random sound issues. Once we had tanks without engine noise. Another time everyone in the team would know someone on the team had a very specific, unholy loud tank. Fun times.

There’s also a premium and a bunch of Dune themed stuff to buy. Seems like we’re slightly behind PC, are we going to get TMNT stuff next?

17
 
 

As an aside, I really need to figure out how to get the news timely, this particular one for example just slipped away.
