Update 1.26.1 - Weather in WoT and Tech Tree Trade-In | World of Tanks 1.26.1 Patch 

careful, it clearly states NOT ALL lines can be selected as target ;)

You can do that once per account. Good luck

That literally allows you to rob yourself of the content of the game. I understand players not wanting to play arty, and occasional line that doesnt suit them, but limiting yourself just to one or two or 3 or 5 tech tree liens an playing just that, is like crazy.

I like the concept of it. I grinded a good number of good lines when I was terrible at the game. Now I get to experience one of them again if I so choose, and I can actually appreciate it.

@@lanelesicyou already can do that with blueprints and free XP

Or swap it after you do missions and never play arty again like every men should.

or they could just remove arty missions

​@@Eren03eren along with arty themselves

Or just use books and you don’t need play arty at all

Genius.

I thought of the same thing😅

People will primarily use this feature to swap to brand new tech line releases. Instead of burning 1.5 million free XP they take a line they like and swap it for a new tech tree, then re-grind the favored line to await the next new tech tree release.

bc25t line is S tier tho

Ikr.

oh, I didn't even think of that, but that's entirely possible.

wouldnt have a problem with it. at least then wot plus would have smth worth getting it for unless the trade costs extra money/gold on top of the wot plus cost

@@Wakuinot everyone has a rich uncle that gives them more money than they could spend. some people also play other games than wot and don’t want to be coerced into paying 100€/year for a subscription on top of premium time and premium tanks

@@gonozal8_962 wot plus doesnt have anything that a player must have. if they do add this trade feature in wot plus, youll be paying for a convenience. its no different than paying for a premium tank to progress faster. nobody is forcing you to pay

Learn and adapt. Simple

​@@iybizuku1366It will result in more camping and pasive play, exact the opisite what they try too force with this stuff. 😂

@@Def_01_RG it equally creates new movement options by making you harder to spots where you normally would get spotted at the end of the day people will cry maps will get changed to adapt to it and we are back to normal i think all this game needs is big map changes on a regular basis and new maps here and there

​​​@@Mutombo-d1s I agree that bigger maps are needed big time. Then those new things are not needed to cover up the poor maps and changes what they have done. The maps are not fitting now with the powercreep/meta. ❤

yeah no i dont think that radio range mechanic can lead to usefull gameplay in this game what they could try is to implement skills that let you tap into enemy radio and get some of the enemy positions this way but how would they do this? maybe if you get close enough to a spotted enemy in a light tank you could somehow tap into his radio if you stay unspotted whatever

@@Mutombo-d1s it could if they wanted to do it, they just wont. Drastically shorten the range on all vehicles but lights. As your lights die, it requires your team to stick together.

It has some levels to choose. I was going to test the impact on performance, but not yet able to get in to maps, no players.

Depends, if it's fog effect. It could actually improve FPS since the fog will be obscuring so much detail they simply don't have to be rendered on screen.

@@NexuJin true, but the rain one will definitely not do that. Wows is a perfect example, whenever you sail into the rainstorm performance drops.

@@hebrewhammer4086 Yes, that's the opposite. But pretty much what people first thinks of when it comes to rendering weather costing FPS.

Yeah, I run at 30-40 average fps at 100ish ping might break my game

Confused how it's faster when it's a tier for tier trade...to get a tier X trade, you needed a tier X...I mean yes it's game breaking to be able to swap from a recently nerfed line to something you'd actually want to play at a 1:1 tier for tier that even forces you to train a new crew...

It's still force you to do grind because lose the fully research one, downfall for it just unbalanced match every update.

@@jakobusswart1376 like someone else Saïd, juste grind the same line over again

I'm expecting the weather effects to appear similar as to how they did it in World of Tanks Modern Armor.

how about flash floods =), or white outs in a blizzard

@@brucenorman8904 I can see it now... Your health bar slowly depletes, then a message pops up: "Your crew froze to death."

i would i got type 5 the day it came out an loved it then. but now its kinda useless. id love if i could trade it for another

@@rogusmith2630 OK, there may be some exceptions. I got all tech trees tanks & modules researched and all Tier X in the garage - so this is mega useless to me.

I dont think it is a bad deal at all, i have so many of these nation tickets or whatever that I'll be able to exchange it hassle free 😂 So I think if you want to actually play, you def should. I would fold immediately after hearing this news. Its awesome!!!!

i agree atleast the first time but is wargaming they go direct to the give me more money

Bad players call Grille bad😂.

Grille is getting insta yeeted once this patch drops

I love my grille.

People who get rid of tanks just to have to grind them again are dumb

@@iybizuku1366 Not really? WT auf Pz. IV is just better in pretty much everything, turret turns fully, better dpm, camo is ALOT better, more flexible only things which it loses is accuracy by 0.06 and it just seems Grille doesnt hit shots which it should hit easily

Change is the way of life. Get used to it. If it doesn't change everyone would say it was stale

​@@jonathanprescott558I stopped playing a couple of years ago. No thanks.

​@@jaygunter3828 then why still crying about it?

@@nico7674 Too big a leap for you huh?

@@jaygunter3828 i'm fine with the game and if not, i'll just leave and won't cry about it like you do. Just do something else instead of wasting your time coping about a game you stopped playing and seem to despise

You like stationary shit battles right?

I don't think random events on most maps actually improve the gameplay so it makes them useless if not harmful. Doubt weather will be any different. That's exactly why an option to disable would be nice it'll allow every player to choose by personal preference

the weathe should be random an on random spots of the map. Not prefixed things that will happen. Than it would be a change worth looking into. But scripted events on fix positions will be used/abused like every other changing feature on maps nowadays.

@@Loudnose hhahahahaha gold !

@@CFox.7 That's probably what this dude uses too.

I think the graphics of World of Tanks Modern Armor looking pretty fun. Textures detail is lower, but the overall effects are better balanced.

decreased viewrange makes you get spotted harder it creates new movement options to get closer to the enemy where you usually couldnt get close becouse everyone has massiv viewrange it would shorten battles and make them slightly more dynamic most likely

this is pointless for old players that have every line already unlocked

😢😢

You can only exchange once

I believe this would be a limited time offer.

I can see people exploit it to grind a fun line, trade it in for a less fun one. And do it all over again.

ye

Well irony is...anyone that wants to have every tech tree line done. Would immediately find the trade in useless...

@@jakobusswart1376 Not at all for example if someone just wanna have all but they don't wanna waste their time on let's say LT/Arty or even some HT's lines they would trade those and go grind the same (easy to grind tech tree later on)... Just think about it. I hope for those like me there will be a chance to trade the old tech tree to a (brand new) cuz i have goal to get all tanks in garage and ace them so i would get the new tech tree line instantly w/o need to spend resources like blue prints credits free xp/time etc... And later on i would research the old tech tree once again with discounts missions etc.

WG's has too many criminally minded 'Russians' working within its staffs I think.....

You need to grind to have a Tier X line to trade? Imagine the exchange as an Exchange...IRL to convert USD to pound...you need to work for that $, it doesn't magically appear or self replicate...

Too much 'Russian' criminal minds within WG's management I think...

*sent to depot.

those are medium tanks unless your a below average player

@@scoutboy776 above avarage 1431,99 wn8 with 29,123 battles

its just fun to play allrounder

@@nuolis 1,400 is green which is right at average

@@scoutboy776 i see

Watch the video, I explain it after converting.

@@DezGamez yep sorry I comment as I watch, got that thanks for reply great vids

If they did that, the whole enchange would be worthless. With 10k gold, I can just FXP my way through the techthree with no problem while still having both vehicles.

yeah since the new perk system my active time played on a weekly basis has dropped by about 70%

@@brucenorman8904 just play something else for a while my man wot has to many stupid mechanics to make you addicted you spend way more time in this game than its actually worth

If you want to play tanks on new maps. I suggest you go try WoT Modern Armor. They have some new maps that aren't on PC. On Xbox you can play WoT Modern Armor with keyboard and mouse. That's how I play it.

I agree, literally not 1 person has ever asked for crew changes. Pointless and stupid. I just want new maps. Not the shit like oyster bay

Totally agree new maps, bigger maps that allow a couple of fall back positions behind each other, when you see a Zerg rush coming. Maps with cover that allow TD's to do their thing. Maps that arent centred around this mad rush to be "World of Medium Tanks" where mobility is the be all and end all. There needs to be a higher risk in the Zerg rush. Maps where semi static play is 'the thing" for those maps. Theres something like 44 maps with a map size built around a 5 minute game time and P6 PC. Weve got high quality graphics give us more high quality maps, how about putting more maps in circulation, random map loading these days seems to mean the same map 3 times in 10 games. Aaaaaaaargh. BTW I have nearly all the tech tree tanks, I think I need 10 (the crappy ones so I wont get them anyway}, so a swap option has no interest in me whatsoever. What they should do is make the tanks that are crap have some fun element about them that makes them playable (I'm looking at you mid tier British TD's) instead of introducing these money grab tanks.

I mean World of Warships has cyclones/storms randomly occur on some maps which affects concealment range + spotting range. I can't recall the last time I saw or heard a complaints about those so . . .

@@matthewkabanuk443 wtf some random number generator decides to fuck your day up? WTF fuck this company im all with oliver im pissed since year about the maps came back only to see they changed some parts of maps i actually liked fuck this bullshit someone else can pay for all that crap regular map changes and regular new maps is all it takes to make this game fun it will throw back everyone on the learning curve and everyone can learn again instead of playing the same static bullshit all the time this game is lost only reason it still exists is addiction you give people something to collect and their brain shuts down...

Well, the current view/concealment mechanics are pretty dumb when you think about it. ONLY in WoT can tanks go invisible right in an open field just because some stats crossed a given threshold.

@@matthewkabanuk443 Warships has maps/seas large enough for weather to only effect part of the map, except when the map already has some condition as part of it's individual specific feature, not as another layer of randomly happenings upon a range of maps/seas that will likely not occur as randomly as intended for, to feel purposefully against each player. WoT random battles is potentially complex enough with 41 or more maps to learn, let alone additional Assault versions and Onslaught versions of them (163+ variations) to learn ..and then random weather as well.. I'd rather they added another additional equipment & a consumable slots to tier 1's, 2's and 3's, than for what few if any players never asked for or wanted, this weather effects BS

@@skorpion7132scaling is wrong in pretty much every game, because 2km or higher cannon ranges would require maps to be a few times bigger than FL maps, which creates issues with RAM and computer specs to render, SSD space to store and time to create these maps. games like WARNO with repsfrago or steel division have realistic ranges if you remove the scaling thing that displays football fields as being 400m across. but even without, anti air at spawn can destroy an aircraft spawning at the opposite side of the map already. so imagine distances were 4x as large. apart from fog, there is stuff like eg early night vision optics only having a detection range of 800m, which would be 200m scaled down to WG sizes (wowp has airplanes shooting 700m+ actually, though, yet flight altitudes still don’t exceed 6.5 or so km). armored recon irl does exist because tanks can fire further than they can spot (across an open field though, not through obstacles). keep in mind also that this portrays stuff like scratches, dust and other imperfections ruining the quality of the optics, which makes it more difficult to see than 3rd person does. you also can’t see something that doesn’t have LOS with viewports in wot, yet eg War thunder just makes optics irrelevant: you can hit every shot even if all optics are just piles of glass shards at that point. so if you imagine 400m spotting range was 2.2km distance irl and view ports also have a smaller field of view, so you either focus on one area or skim 360° in which case you miss concealed vehicles, which is how the spotting circle (instead of: cone) works in wot). the 10s spotting time is so that concealment can change when firing, but a tank that has fired remains spotted. for gameplay consistency and tge like, this also results in plays utilizing that mechanic in an unrealistic way, but it’s still better than wo spotted time

my first t10 and only rn, its gonna be the exchange for the 60tp 😂

@@Revonyn Lol don't, go for other line.

@@nimay13 why?

​@@Revonyndon't listen to him. 60TP is meta. or at least meta in onslaught and really good in Pubs.

@@Loudnose thats my point aswell

yes... they're a business... its the entire point

Very true. Or when you can buy them back during discount.
