Where are replays recorded and stored in wot?

How to open it and how to watch World of Tanks replay
As you may have noticed, the replay file is in wotreplay format, which is quite easy to open and watch on a computer: you need to close the game client and run the replay file.

Click item Selecting a program from the list of installed programs, press OK, using the button Review go to the game folder, then point to let to the file WorldOfTanks.exe. After this, the battle recording will be played back, and the system will learn to reproduce the wotreplay format without such manipulations.
Managing replays is very easy:

- Down-up arrows- replay playback slower/faster.
- Left-right arrows- rewinds the replay back 40 seconds and forward 20 seconds. When rewinding, a battle loading screen appears, so don’t be alarmed, the screen will disappear and the replay will continue.
- Space- pause on/off.

Why does the wot client not play replays of the old version?
It happens that a well-played battle gets stuck and World client of Tanks 1.7.1.0 is not able to enable it, and it is very necessary to play the wotreplay file of the old version. To do this, there are two ways to watch the replay of the old version:

Below is a detailed description of how to watch World of Tanks replays

If necessary, select a program to view in the window that appears.
2. Method:

in the properties you need to find “Application” and click “Change”;
in the window that appears, select “Browse”;
In the new window that opens, find the game’s installation folder and go into it;

Sometimes even the most experienced players don't know how to do simple things in the game. This problem has not escaped the newfangled “tanks” where sometimes, after an epic battle, you want not only to look at the action again, but also to brag to your friends (or even find the enemy’s strategic mistakes).
To be able to analyze your actions in "World of Tanks", the developers have added the function of recording and playing replays.
To play replays in WoT, you must first enable their recording. To do this, you need to go to the game settings and in the “Game” tab activate the “Record battles for playback” function (this is the penultimate line on the left, it is activated by checking the box). By the way, this recording will be available not only immediately after the battle, but also in offline mode.

- Close the game client;
- In the contents of the c:GamesWorld_of_Tanks folder (or where the game was installed) find the folder with the game recording;
- Select the replay recording file (with *.wotreplay extension) and run it.

Third party programs
Players of the old school can continue to film their battles using the “Fraps” and “Cub” programs familiar to the spirit of the old gamer. They work quite well even with high ping, and the video itself can not only be saved on your hard drive and played back the battle at any time of the day or night, but also trimmed, composed, or even made a clip to your favorite melody.
