Before you get started
As with all games which allow third party modifications, there may be some unintended side effects, like broken textures or performance issues.
Most of the mods and tools we’ll look at below I’ve used in one version or another over my time with World of Tanks and are generally held in high regard by the community. They should all work perfectly. However, as a precaution, once a mod is installed, start up the game and give it a quick play to make sure its running correctly before installing any further mods.
Quick disclaimer – These mods are all supported in 8.2 and many will work out of the box in 8.3, however check the host’s respective webpage for updates.
Mod collections & sites
It’s not unheard of to get performance hits or conflicts when using multiple mods together so I’ve listed a couple of mod collections below which take a number of the mods listed above, combined them and provided them within one easy to use package.
GOLDDIMES TACTICAL MOD PACK
Golddimes tactical mod pack is a collection of mods, some of which we’ve already discussed, including XVM, post battle statistics addon, Coloured Battle Results, DAR’s artillery sight, Overtarget Markers, J1mb0’s Crosshair Mod, minimap mod, zoom mod, White Tank Wrecks, Disabeled intro video and a few others.
If you’re looking for an all in one package, then this is it!
Ashbane’s mods
Ashbane’s mods comes with its own installer. How’s that for ease of use?
The mods contained within are information overlays, like new contours and over target markers. This mod is quite useful for newer players as it contains information on each tank in battle next to the players name i.e. their armour, hit points and average damage.
Mod Hosting Sites
If you’re interested in doing your own search for mods, here’s a selection of World of Tanks modding & skin sites you might want to visit. Some of these sites are in Russian so unless you’re understanding of Cyrillic is up to scratch, you’ll need a browser capable of translation like Chrome.

WoT Dossier
Wot Dossier is one of a number of websites setup around interpreting statistics, either from the API or Dossier cache. As you’d expect from the title, this website reads your Dossier cache file, a locally hosted file which contains your entire World of Tanks history of statistics.
You’re presented with a gold mine of information about your performance on each tank you’ve driven. Want to see what your current ‘sharpshooter’ progress is on any given tank? Want to see how much time you’ve spent in a tank? Interested in medals and would like to know near you are to acheiving them?
This is personally my favourite World of Tanks mod or tool and I use it religiously. It’s become an indespensible part of tracking my statistics and performance. I was going to post some screenshots of this tool but it really doesn’t scale too well, so instead, take a look yourselves.
Efficiency & Ratings Calculators
There are a number of different rating systems available for World of Tanks, the most prevalant being the Efficiency system. It’s criticised because it can be ‘padded’, although curiously most of the people making these claims have rather poor Efficiency scores.
No one system is really perfect. They all have faults or the person who wrote it, in the case of noobmeter, has kept the formula secret preventing large scale adoption. WN4 is one of the better systems being developed, in no small part because the formula is publically available and is being adopted by the community. You can find your WN4 score here.

Особенности использования
Преимуществами использования программы можно назвать:
- повышение частоты кадров, ограниченной в играх Wargaming;
- возможность редактировать XML-файлы другой игры World of Warplanes;
- простой интерфейс;
- бесплатное распространение;
- работа в операционных системах Windows 7 и выше.
Из-за простого использования и бесплатного распространения у программы полностью отсутствуют какие-либо минусы. Недостаток можно обнаружить только один – если скачивать WotTools из непроверенных источников, можно случайно заразить компьютер вирусом. Хотя с такой проблемой вряд ли столкнётся владелец ПК, на котором установлен хороший антивирус.

Функционал утилиты
На странице игры World of Tanks и посвящённых ей сайтах можно найти минимальные требования к аппаратной части компьютера – 2 ГБ оперативной памяти, видеокарта на 512 МБ и двухъядерный процессор с поддержкой SSE2. Однако на самом деле нормально пользоваться симулятором можно, если памяти у ПК 4-6, а лучше 8 ГБ, а видеопамяти – от 2 Гб и выше.

Final word
I wish I could have written some kind of tl;dr version as this has been a particularly long read (I apologise to my editor!), but with the vast array of high quality mods and tools it is necessary. If you’re already using some of these mods and tools I hope you’ll agree with my choices; and if you’re not currently using any of these, or have found new ones which are of interest, I hope this read has been beneficial.
If I missed a mod or tool that you think should have been included, feel free to put a link in the comments secion.
