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?

according to the comments apprently the kv1s wont be nerfed.. having some cracking games in it, but having some awful games too!!

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.

I have a MT-25 in the garage .... just hoping it gets some decent buff

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
