December 6 marks the release of the last big WoT update of 2017! Take the new tier X light tanks to a winter wonderland, then take a gander at the new VIP Premium tech tree. All this and more…

Light Tanks at Tier X

It’s what every avid scout has been waiting for! Update 4.2 brings new light tank branches starting at tier V and extending to - of course - tier X. This is no mere patch note, it's a real game changer! Though still considered support units, the new light tanks are naturally stronger and speedier, giving them an edge in battle. Though they lack the firepower of medium tanks, they can still pierce the sides and rears of heavy tanks. Combined with their speed and camouflage, light tanks make for an unforgettable terror in the high tiers.

Accompanying this is rebalancing - light tanks now enjoy the ±2 matchmaking of other vehicle classes. For more information on the balance changes, see our full update notes .
