    Hello everyone,

    Storm just disclosed some info as to what will happen in patch 9.1.

    - TD camouflage bonus after shooting will be removed (SS: currently, when shooting, TD’s don’t lose as much camo as other classes, this will be a nasty nerf especially to very fragile TD’s with big guns, such as the Borsig and WT Panzer IV)
    - some light tanks will be buffed (at the very least, MT-25 and VK2801), MT-25 should be buffed approximately to the old T-50-2 level
    - tier 4+ light tanks will have their MM tier spread reduced (there will be exceptions for certain vehicles)
    - 12 of the worst tanks (statistically) will be buffed and 8 of the best will be nerfed

    From the discussion:

    - Veider states that the camo issue concerns all TD’s, they are too stealthy, this is caused a lot by the TD stealth bonuses
    - after the nerf, TD’s without armor will have to keep more distance from their targets
    - the list of “good” and “bad” tanks will not be disclosed now
    - Aufklärungspanzer Panther will not be rebalanced in 9.1, but later
    - Tiger I will be nerfed a bit
    - rear-turret VK4502B will not be buffed or nerfed
    - improved anti-aliasing will come until the end of the year along with Dx11 support
    - Tortoise is slightly OP, but the armor change (nerf) in 9.0 will have some effect, if it’s not enough, it will be nerfed
    - FV 215b (183) is apparently doing fine
    - rebalance is not based only on winrate

    so tigers getting a small nerf.. interesting, its got a huge hp pool and v good rof at the moment...

    the camo rating change for some tds is welcome, had a rhm b shooting at me yesterday, no more than 100 metres from me if even that far, he would pop out (no bush), shoot and only then would i see him, as he retreated behind cover. i was hull down in lowe so kept bouncing but it was so trollish.

    Curious to see how and what they are going to buff/nerf on the top/lowest list. Ultimatetly win rate has to come into it or are they accusing the whole WoT population not knowing how to play the tank outside a small group?

    The lights definitely need some loving. It's been weeks since I've seen an MT-25 around. It must be a horrible exerience for someone to reach the likes of the Pz 38NA, and to find themselves irrelevant to a match. Something which must put off a significant amount of players.

    one of my fav tanks was the t50-2, they killed it when they brought the m25 in, sold it soon enough after.. you very very rarely see them getting played.. deffo gettin a buff, which is good.. they ruin my stats but i love playing scouts for the lols
