I second that
Please return the function of searching which vehicles use which cannon or ammunition since it was very useful especially for those of us who create suggestions in the forum since in my case it allowed me to know which vehicle had a specific cannon, missile, bomb, etc. that way compare it with the vehicle I am suggesting and thus be able to give an appropriate BR. Another thing that I cannot find is the function of being able to edit the history of the vehicle in the wiki since, for example, when reading the history of the Israeli M-51 they mention that in the service in Chile they were called M-60, which is false.

Why does it not remember that I want to view Arcade stats? It just keeps defaulting to RB. Ever heard of cookie files?
@Stona_WT the m41a1 series is missing the m42 (its an spaa I know) as it is mounted on a modified m41 hull
also there’s no section for scout helicopters only utility and attack
OH-58 is a scout helicopter and there’s a few others I believe
Problem:
100 battles in a game mode that takes 2/3 hours is different to 100 battles in a game mode that takes 5-10 minutes.
Unless they use the “30 minutes of battle time is equal to 1 battle” as they do for boosters, I’m not a fan of pushing things to 100 battles.

One issue I ran into:
Easier, at-glance overview of related vehicles by nation & vehicle type.
On the old wiki, I could scroll to the bottom of the page of say, IL-2 and see for instance all USSR strike craft.
Now, it’s much less obvious how to obtain this data.
Also aircraft engine information seems to be less detailed. I recall being able to see actual data on thrust and also MEC settings.
I cannot find information about MEC settings for the planes I fly.

So if I want to search for the battle pass information where do I go?
They could use an AI to fill in the gaps of copy paste vehicles tbf
Please add a section for MEC settings. These are fairly vital for both cranking out an edge in performance, and just flying in an immersive way for simmers if the aircraft did not realistically have automatic engine controls.
Learning these through trial and error is possible, but it’s a fair bit of excess effort. Looking up the plane’s manuals and technical databooks is not always applicable either due to different modelling.
Especially if we’re talking german planes with how easy it is to utterly destroy your engine by using MEC wrong. I fly mostly american navy and japanese planes (and I’ve figured out optimal gear switches and the like) but if I wanted to learn the Fw190s or bf109s, where am I supposed to go?

This information was in the articles about vehicles. The editors plan to gradually transfer the existing articles to the new version of the wiki.

Thank you for the information, I suggest to update the original news article with info like this.

I think this part is now easier, at the main “Aircraft” page there is a function at the top to filter by nation/type/rank/BR/regular,squad,premium/specific features.
You can even click the “tree” button on the far right to show the nations tree and all the vehicles that match the filters are highlighted
There really is a LOT of nice new features with this change that i think many players are missing as they notice one issue and get blinded by it (lack of crucial information), an issue that is also likely not that hard of a fix.
I recommend players to actually spend some time with the new wiki and look around in it before making a hasty comment about how “its super bad and the old one was better” just because a feature you want currently isn’t there (but could very likely still be added).
Constructive criticism is ALWAYS the better option to hastily emotional responses with limited information.

Yah know I think this is genuinely a great upgrade to the wiki, very nice work
The one problem I have is the decrease in usability on PCs with there not being a more horizontal layout available on browsers
I also do not like the vehicle categories auto scrolling on mobile, it keeps making me click the wrong thing

not always correct though

Could you please clarify if we have to mention vehicles in-game or if it can be about vehicles not yet in-game?
So, I can now click on the ratings, however, the shaded bar can cover up some of the options if the bar is big enough. Eg, I cannot click on 1, 2 or 3 in this instance as the shaded bar is covering them. 4 and 5 are still clickable because they are not covered by the shaded bar:
I had all ad/popup blockers disabled for the wiki too fwiw.
However, turning on a popup blocker and manually blocking the shaded bar specifically allows all 5 of the button options to be clickable:
Popup blocker’s Filter that allowed all buttons to be clickable:

EDIT: Changing to light mode DOES allow me to click all of the buttons. I also notice that the shaded bar does an animation and hides itself to the left when clicking on the star icon, while using light mode. This animation does not happen on dark mode:

More than that there should be some requirement to have played other comparable vehicles of other nations. I’m worried about players review bombing their own nation’s vehicles when they haven’t even played any other ones. Like I’d give it a week before the M1s are rated as 1/5 on armour…
It basically uses less than a third of the screen area to show its information (and god help those with a super wide screen monitor)!
The design is so bad that I’m pretty much speechless.
