Dear Players.
We understand that most players thoroughly enjoy customizing their WOT client, which greatly adds to their enjoyment of the game, as such modding and mod availability will always remain.
Addon Mods offer a wide range of benefits, from changing in game sounds, installing Girls Und Panzer anime themes, Installing garages of the past and new player made garages, to providing some minor in game (localized graphics and interface) advantages, and many many other uses.
If you are new to modding, and would like to downloading some of these great mods without the risk of downloading unknown untrusted files or prohibited mods from the internet, we suggest you try out a more reliable source of WOT mods such as Curse. There you will find the common and "player's favorite" mods which are often supported by the mod makers, such as J1mB0's Crosshair Mod, Aslain's XVM Mod, and many others.
*Note : Tournaments have their own mod prohibition lists (currently all mods are prohibited in tournaments) so please check the rules of the specific tournament before applying, to make sure what mod's you can use / if any in that tournament.
*Note : Some mod packs such as Aslain's XVM Mod, while mostly legal, may still contain some features which may be prohibited on this server. So please check the list below to make sure that what you are installing and what options you are installing is permitted.
Although all calculations are done safely server side so no major alterations can be done to the game mechanics itself.. Mods may adjust local graphics and user interface in such a way that a player may gain a small advantage. Some of these possible graphical/interface adjustments are deemed prohibited as they are either deemed an "unfair" advantage, or against the spirit of the game.
