• Changes for the Tier IX, M-VI-Y
• Also for the branches E-100, M-V-Y the so-called refinement and optimization of tank modules was made. Somewhere the stock gun was removed, the engine was changed, etc. (the same was done when rebalancing the vehicles in version 1.26)

+ WOT Express Donators only article about Maus buff:

If you thought that was all for rebalancing, then no.

4 AP branches in the next update (not yet shown in TTX) – this is a part of the tree of this TOP (the whole middle of the branch and everything, just like that separately!), here also unnecessary modules will be removed [reworking and optimization of modules is called, this was already earlier in 1.26 WOT].

That’s all for the upgradeable branches. We’ll wait 2 hours for the rebalance and… follow the meta in Winter Onslaught 2025.

IMPORTANT: these are preliminary changes and the performance characteristics may still be changed before the Common Test of 1.27.1! Keep this in mind.
