9.1 Model Changes

Source: For The Record

Regular model changes – not much has changed in this patch, apart from one quote big one. There have been a lot of really tiny changes, most of them are completely unrecognizable, like textures fixes, here for example a small texture fix on AMX50B turret:
output_ktjgo2

Several (about a dozen) tanks recieved a small graphic overhaul – their non-HD model got back their shading, like in this case the Batchat 25t:
output_B2ZUnm
Several tanks had their tracks texture changed, like the RhB here, nothing really important:
output_IhIzvv
But… now it gets more interesting. T82 model was fixed – now the sprockets correctly “bite” into tracks:
output_kWlzCI
The Birch Gun model was fixed – now the gun has a proper mechanism model
output_A4Tbv0
And now comes the best part. M8A1 US TD (“Scott”) model was completely overhauled. The armor thicknesses did not change, but the layout and 3D model did.
Stock turret version (the one with the machinegun is new)
output_LQV0JO
Elite turret version (the one that looks like stock is new)
output_LypxqW
Armor model – elite turret version (the smaller rounder is new obviously, thicknesses stay the same)
output_ZbPxx4
As for the HD models, these can’t be opened in the tank viewer, so as you can imagine, the comparison is quite harder. Allegedly there were some changes in the Centurion 7 model, but I can’t spot any. T-54 elite turret side armor changed from 180 to 160 nominally. As far as I can see, the actual layout of armor did not change at all.
