Is there a way to make old skins work on these tanks?

Too late to edit, new skins for HD models are not working, because old models have all textures in one file – guns, turrets etc. HD models have them separately, one file for hull, one for wheels etc

Because some of the tanks have something changed in the models as well, and they are in nation_hd.pkg packages. It’s Churchill I and IS.

But I have some skins and remodels form 8.11 and they are working in 9.0 without changing anything. Magic or what?

Because models for them are the same, only 2d image represantation changes and changing this 2d image wont affect overall look. I wasn,t talking about pixel size. Besides Skyrim is overrated :P

This doesn’t work with all skins, though. Several of my tanks now appear to be unskinnable. The only one I remember off the top of my head is the Churchill I, but there’s a few others as well.

Using proper terms, the UV map most likely changed, the actual pixel size of the textures doesn’t affect it, hence (for example) 4k textures in Skyrim that look totally different, but display perfectly.

Most likely you are right.

Not an expert but i think when you just “upscale” them you’ll get misplaced pixelated rubbish. Because models had changed.
