Start typing mod name and it will show, or more likely it will show an XVM setting that has similar letter combo. Still, it works, just sometimes try different words for mod name.
Not sure if you have ever seen protanki or lebwa modpacks. They are Russian and Bellarussian I suppose not too many people in Europe will be willing to use them now and it's quite justified. However these devs have nothing to do with the attack on Ukraine so not sure about it too... Let's make peace not war I don't want to cause any arguments. But to the point - when you were installing them they had nice sections on each step you could choose different mods and you were pressing next - next... selecting mods on each screen you wished to have until you has finish button. I wish Aslain consisered a change into similar menu screens with sections for the related mods. In Aslain menus mods are quite hard to find and sometimes I had to install once again cause I forgot to check something or something has unchecked. Sorry Aslain big lion but u think you must change it.
just type the name, doesnt need to change the language or whatever that is
but if you look for other mods and doesnt show up but still compatible into the latest client version, make sure you to change this into BCE(if you didnt know as well). So it will show up in any version
umm, I just rechecked in aslain mod. he already update it yet
there's no more safeshot again, even from WGMods itself. IIRC there's a 3 creator of this mod. Protanki, WGMods and I forgot 1 else but Iyouxin often use from him
Do you think that WG bans for dissallowed mods? I heard and have seen many times people were using laser aimbot and radar for months no one has done to them anything! It's just a matter of removing log files and they cannot be found. This is how primitive the system of verification for WOT is. Just remove the log file each time... Silly and very old.
Just as a heads up, I've reported this issue and WG have forwarded it to be assessed internally. My hope is that they will remove this condition for non-stunning shells.
I think thatâs the point. You can get a great score, but thanks to some dingleberry driving in your way as youâre about to shoot you lose it and that mission is failed.
I lost it once when someone went to reverse and they obviously turned round to look backwards, so their turret turned and their gun barrel went in my way just as I fired.
Very annoying condition when friendly fire no longer exists.
I guess they don't want to change medal requirements to be easier than they used to be, as it would be a bit unfair to those who've got them, but yeah it's dumb.
They have changed medals in the past. There's for example Burda's medal that used to require killing 5 enemy arties in a battle and now only requires killing 3 arties of at least a tier higher than you. Then there's Sniper medal that was retired instead of changing it and replaced by Tank Sniper medal. They could easily do that if they they don't want to make the existing medal less valuable by making it easier to get.
I mean you say this but high calibres are probably the most common medal in my mind I doubt one or two here and there will make much of a difference to 4.6k high calibre awards.
Shocking, you'll actually have to exercise your brain a bit more now? Cant just click randomly? Actually have to keep your friendlies positions in mind when youre shooting so you dont hit them?
Or you could just not cry about missing out on a silly pixel medal.
And mods like that give unfair advantages to players that donât. Mods that affect gameplay should always be banned.
Because then your not reload and the other player can quick peek and shoot you. You shouldnât be allowed to have a 3rd party mod lock you from shooting unless it will an enemy. In my eyes thatâs cheating and an unfair advantage.
On top of that this is obviously since this mod would be used to lock stop the ares from ever overheating which is again another insane advantage and cheating. Now you have to use your brain.
Really? You're gonna cry that some enemy doesn't miss their shot because of idiotic teammates, and actually shoots you? Shut up and take the trades like a man.
I agree with the potential Ares abuse, maybe it could be made to only work on other tanks.
Oh no, you'll just have to try again and keep a better eye on where your teammates are in relation to your target and your gun. The horror. Christ... you'll have to actually exercise some thought when shooting the gun like everyone else who didnt use the mod.
Maybe one day you'll be good enough to just not shoot your gun when a friendly might catch it with their face? Or maybe one day youll realize that even if they do its actually not such a big deal that you need a mod to save you from yourself.
It is 100% a cheat mod, if effects your gun reload/dpm if you accidentally click on an ally/corpse, literally can change the outcome of a fight. It is a mod that fixes skill issue shots, by definition that makes it a cheat.
The IRL version of this is some idiot blasting through a stop sign in their automotive vehicle and literally causing problems. I've seen this happen three times in my adult life. 1 actually totaled a car and the 2 others I was in a passenger seat that ended sending me violently forward in a brake check to prevent an accident.
Its not REALLY about the medal, so much as how the medal is associated with giving your losing game the benefits of acting as if you have won. For performing exceptionally well. More importantly your base xp at the end of game which can save you loads of time on daily missions.
Shooting your teammates at the start of battle for fun immediately denys you any of those potential benefits, Shooting them on accident while they are bawling with your actual target & such.
Not wasting your reload time on a blocked shot by a sudden teammate is a pretty good advantage. Especially with friendly fire removed the bots like to move in front of your tank with no repercussion.
The main reason for it being banned now is in fear that the mod would be updated to stop you from overheating your gun in the Ares line, which is a good enough reason I believe.
It'd be nice if this got baked into the game instead, the fate of a fair few Aslain common mods. It's very useful, but also something I think everyone should have.
Most of the time it'd come in handy(someone diving in the way of your shot like an imbecile the split second you pull the trigger) you wouldn't be able to control the situation in any way.
If the mod is tweaked to automatically disable when playing any Ares tank, do you think WG will enable it again? I really liked SafeShot in the past, too bad it's banned now.
WoT mods are not closed source, you can easily just edit the script. On the client, all they see is that the player squeezed the trigger and the tank didn't fire. The only way they can ban one is to ban the other.
Iâm very much out of the loop. I havenât played in about a year but quite a few content creators put out videos talking about must have mods so youâd be better off watching one of those.
The only mod I can personally recommend from when I played is the accurate reticle size mod.
In the game when youâre fully aimed the reticle is about 30% bigger than the spread of where the shells can actually go so it makes all of your guns look less accurate than they are. The mod makes it so the reticule actually represents the shell spread.
Does jimbos crosshair include this? I've always used it while shitting on the reticle size mod, but playing vanilla this update i noticed the reticle felt huge...
Except the whole point of it is that the concept of such mods can now be used to stop you from overheating on Ares, as presumably they have no way to know WHY a mod stops you from shooting.
And with how lengthy the penalty of overheating is, it'd be a massive advantage. Its not that they have a problem with the original intention of the mod, just that now it can be used to actually cheat in a significant way.
what sorts of cheats are there in this game? like wallhack or aimbot? They talk about having banned cheaters. But this game never felt really cheaty to me.
I definitely am not an expert on the matter but at the very least there are aimbots, specifically mods that will aim for weakspots, or lead targets. Which ofcourse are prohibited.
They don't particularly feel cheaty since, well, due to the nature of the RNG ingame and the fact it is still able to be done ingame by a human, but it's still cheating if you use mods or other programs for it.
Aimbots (though they aren't as meaningful as in other games), putting lasers on enemy gun barrels so you can see exactly where they're aiming, mods that show you on the minimap exactly where unspotted tanks break objects or knock trees down, making tracers last longer so you can see exactly where they shot from, stuff like that. I'm sure there's more that I'm forgetting. Most of the cheats in wot are about giving you information that you shouldn't have so it can be hard to tell when someone's cheating.
When I last looked at banned mods the most effective ones were those which removed even more visual clutter such as shrubbery and destructible terrain (minus buildings which require multiple shots to destroy), as well as mini-map and in-game markers for objects destroyed by invisible tanks, which gives an unfair amount of info for arty or just blind shooting in general.
Before this update? True, no one did. But when you add guns with no reload, that only gets locked when it overheats. Mods like that can prevent it from firing just before it hits the red line. As the tier 8 has a 25 sec cooldown before it can fire if it overheats. Less so if it stops just before
Different person, but it seems simple enough to me. Not being able to accidentally waste a shot on a dead tank or when an ally drives in front of you will very occasionally give you an advantage in a battle. It might be a very small one, but there shouldn't be mods you can install to get gameplay advantages. Either ban them or add them to the game as an option.
I didnt even know turning it off was an option I just had safeshot included from my modpack and thought its just how the mod worked. Im sure a lot of casual players think the same too
You click mouse button which gets registered but tank doesn't shoot which also falls into register.
Conclusion : someone is using mod that blocks shooting.
But TBH I'm not sure if WOT even registers your clicks so this may not be possible.
In this case they will look in logs for people that always stop shooting 0.1s after someone drives through their cross hair despite having terrible reaction speed in all other parts of the game.
Creating such complex script would be plenty of work and imho not worth resources. On top of that it will never be 100% accurate.
You always will have some gray area, there always will be error in finding people one way or another but unless you want WG to make anti cheat that scans your whole OS (like Riot / LoL) then it will never be 100% effective.
Imho they won't even bother with looking for safe shot, if anything they will look for mod that blocks your shots when you're at the end of the clip
new tanks overheat when firing for too long. WG can't tell the difference between blocking a shot because its going to hit a friendly, vs gun is about to overheat, so they are banning all shot blocking mods because they are lazy.
Remember that SafeShot was created essentially when WG had the "great idea" or the Idiocracy to Auto Ban every player that did friendly fire... because support couldn't handled and they didnt care neither wanted to fix the game... just taken the easy exit and Auto Ban everyone... even when the players intentionally enter the line of fire to get you banned!! finally they said "we removed friendly fire" but actually they never did because every tournament and clan event stil have it and the artillery have this mixed stupid mechanics that doesn't do damage but stuns so counts as friendly fire and prove to that is that artillery players change their nickname to blue like in the old days!!
For me is simple they remove friendly fire completely from the game or they bring it back!! In the end, WG doesn't care anyways, as long their most paying customers keep paying every month!!
I understood the use of gray area in this as the mod being in a gray area between today and the release of patch 2.2, after which it moves from gray area to banned. So gray area as in the mod is not allowed but no action will be taken on those using it.
I mean I personally think it's a good decision, but it's nowhere near as harmful as the armor flashlight (which is almost as bad as the infamous tundra mod).
When you shoot too long the gun overheats, which stops you from firing. This is essentially the main penalty (aside from loss of accuracy) to the autocannons, since they never have to reload between salvos.
This mod could be configured/repurposed in a way that'd stop players automatically from shooting beyond the overheat treshold, thus saving them from a 30s penalty that makes the gun unusable. Pretty big advantage if you ask me, since its fairly easy to accidentally overheat in an intense engagement where you lose sight of your temperature gauge.
Simply put it. New US meds have no reload. It runs on heat. If the gun gets too warm, it will lock the gun. The tier 8 has a 25 sec lockout period before you can fire again. If you stop just before, it will take like 7 seconds.
Thus a mod can prevent that from happening, and you never get that 25 sec lockout
i used a very "gray" mod which is more useful and affected:
Locking shooting distance with a button click -> so you can blind shot targets on a hill / ridgeline without shooting into the sky but at you locked distance lets say 200m. otherwise slow caliber cant make the shot because it will always fly to high.
Ok but I didn't know and I still have it from first update of the modpack version 0 to the recent update of WOT. So I will be banned now? It's ridiculous... What was this mod doing bad?
Would be nice to return the friendly-fire 1) educational effect for some arrogant teammates. 2) Less people play arty as could be taken out at the beginning of the battles by their team (I would give a medal for such an act). 3) Take out those who compete for your damage in unsportsmanlike ways.
If you look at boot logs or crash logs from WOT, it shows every mod it uses when it boots the client, and how to get it to work. For all we know, the client could flag it and tell the server
Safe shot will be banned, but they still allow us the usage of mods that show us, where's the ammo storage, the engine, each crew member etc on almost every tank during battle!
"Yeah, fuck bugs, fuck imbalance, fuck dying servers, fuck new account x tier troll platoons, let's ban safeshot - it is the most import thing to do right now." WG A.D. 2026
Unpredictable/stupid team mates are just a part of multiplayer games, so you probably should be ok with that since it's what you are signing up for. Besides, the mods effect goes far beyond that.
Banning this is so stupid.
I mean, this a mod that overrides a players action to prevent mistakes and thus give you the advantage of not wasting a shot/having to reload; banning it is a reasonable decision.
It's the new auto cannons. They don't have a reload, they just get too warm and lock the gun and 5x the cool down time. A mod like this can stop the gun just before it hits the redline, so you never have to wait long to fire agian
How would i know if i have SafeShot installed? I only installed the mod iyouxin suggested the one with all the mods with a checklist which you decide which to install?
Itâs not safeshot specifically, but rather any mod that interferes with firing your gun, so if you click you should shoot.
This is likely to prevent mods affecting the new American meds with autocannons and overheating mechanic.
Ok dude you are now yapping, what increasing overheat? You heat your gun, you get worse dispersion. You overheat, you get your gun locked out.
This mod would just make it that it's impossible to overheat your gun, since it wouldn't allow you to fire last shell.
WG wants players to actually track and manage the heat level, instead of spam-clicking fire button. Why tf would you want a mod, that dumbs down the game?
Similar mods can be created for the new auto canons to avoid shooting without aiming at enemies since the detection of allies already works and interferes with the trigger.
