* Updated for World of tanks 1.5.1.1 WOT patch.
Modifications have become a common element in World of Tanks. It’s probably impossible to find a tanker who hasn’t installed mods. Gradually, all available add-ons are modified and become more functional. As a result, they are extremely effective assistants in battle, allowing tankers to fully influence the course of the battle. In some cases, it is necessary to know the percentage of victory for the allied team, as well as approximately compare the balance of forces of tankers on the battlefield. In such a situation, the presented mod will be extremely useful.
It is calculated using a special formula; certain individual indicators of each fighter are summed up, which makes it possible to determine the chances of winning.
The mod works perfectly with other add-ons, no conflicts were noticed. Displays data from those tankers who have fought at least 100 battles. It hasn't been there long enough. However, not everyone could fully use it, since it greatly influenced FPS. Now the situation has changed, everyone has the opportunity to install team WN8 with a percentage of winning. With its help, every tanker gets the opportunity to correctly assess the situation on the battlefield and choose the most correct tactics for battle.

XVM or “Deer Messenger” is the oldest, most complex and functional mod for World of Tanks. With its help, you can change any elements of the game interface, from inscriptions above tanks in battle to statistics in the hangar.
Composition of Olenemer
Markers above tanks
XVM allows you to add almost any information about the player and his combat vehicle to the marker above an ally or enemy tank. Thanks to the standard ability to enable advanced marker mode using the Alt button, the possibilities are doubled. For example, here is a screenshot of the marker in the custom configuration:
The marker, in addition to the Tiger I tank model, shows the current number of frags: “2”, WN8 rating: “525” and the player’s win percentage on this tank “52%”. Also visible is a separate mod not related to XVM.
At the same time, information about the same player in the pre-battle screen and allies information panel is displayed in a different format: tank model - number of battles on the account - Efficiency Rating (ER, Efficiency) - percentage of victories on the account.
Marker settings are located in the files:
- markersAliveNormal.xc - standard mode
- markersAliveExtended.xc — view of the marker with the Alt button pressed
- markersDeadNormal.xc - marker for a destroyed tank
- markersDeadExtended.xc - extended mode using the Alt button
Description of macros for displaying information in battle is in the file macros.txt
Damage log
Hitlog or hit log allows you to control the amount of damage dealt to enemy tanks. This feature can be useful for completing personal combat missions or earning Main Caliber medals. The damage counter is usually located under the score panel and can show both the total for all targets and for each target individually. Macros can also be widely used here, which allows you to find out in detail who you shot at, how many times and with what result. The configuration is in the hitLog.xc file
Replacing the “light bulb” of the sixth sense
The trigger icon for the commander’s “sixth sense” skill is replaced with an arbitrary picture using XVM, not just, but very simply. Just put a file in *.png format in the res_modsxvmres directory and name it SixthSense.png Then, instead of a standard light bulb, when illuminated, you will see your picture. For example, like this:
The screenshot also shows non-XVM mods: an improved standard sight and a minimal tank information panel in the sight (only viewing and reloading).
Customizable player panels, stats table and loading screen
Command Information Bars (Ears) Options
Found in the playersPanel.xc file. Here you can set the following settings:
- Transparency of the background of “ears” and tank icons
- Displaying clan and platoon icons
- Enemy Detection Status— allows you to configure indicators for unexposed enemies, for those who are exposed, and for those who have been detected but are not visible at the moment.
- Displaying information about allies and enemies in the “ears”. The most important part of this category of changes user interface, allows you to choose what you will see in medium and wide “ear” mode. Here you can also add various macros with ratings, number of frags, percentage of wins on the player’s tank, etc.
Statistics table
Displayed on the screen in battle using the Tab button. The settings are in the file statisticForm.xc. The information display capabilities are similar to the “ears”, plus, you can enable the calculation of the chances of winning.
Loading screen into battle
Or the pre-battle screen. Its settings are stored in battleLoading.xc and are also similar to the capabilities of the “ears” and the statistics table.
All three of these elements of the combat interface are designed to give you information about opponents and allies, which you can’t help but take advantage of. Try different combinations of settings and macros. Keep in mind, however, that all ear modes, stat tables and pre-battle screens can show different information as you choose.
Icons of clans and players
XVM by default includes icons for clans from the top 150, and also allows users of the mod to set their own icons for other clans and even for individual players. The latter feature gives you the ability to tag and spot friends or enemies in battle.
To customize your icon for a clan or player, you need to:
- Go to res_modsxvmresclanicons
- Select your game cluster, for example RU - if you are in Russia or Ukraine
- Select the clan or nick folder depending on whether you want to add your icon to a clan or a player
- Place a picture in *.png format and a name that repeats the lantag or player name, for example: ABLE.png or Jove.png
Please note that only you will see the added icon. To be among the clans for which icons are displayed by default in XVM, you need to be in the top 150 clans in your region. It is basically impossible for individual players to add their own icon for distribution along with the Olenemer.
Modified base capture strip
A well-known interface change for players. Instead of the abstract base capture points of the standard client, you will see the number of invaders and the time remaining until a successful capture.
The settings are in the file captureBar.xc
Smart minimap
Also an extremely popular mod, for which we even had to make an alternative - for players with weak computers. The minimap is configured using several XVM configuration files:
- minimap.xc - transparency and zooming in/out of the minimap
- minimapCircles.xc — setting viewing circles and artillery range
- minimapLabels.xc - allows you to change labels on the minimap, add icons, various text, vehicle signatures, etc.
- minimapLines.xc - direction of your tank's gun, direction of the hull, horizontal aiming angles, direction of the camera's field of view
It is also worth watching the video on setting up the minimap:
XVM hangar mods
Allows you to customize various elements of the hangar and the game entry screen.
- login.xc - configures the World of Tanks login screen: allows you to skip the start video and watch the ping to the servers even before logging into them
- hangar.xc — hangar parameters. Shows ping to game servers, calculates personal rating and other improvements on the “Achievements” tab
- battleResults.xc - battle results window or “post-battle screen”. Allows you to show net income in silver, experience, hit percentage, damage dealt and chances of winning

With each new update, XVM begins to consume more and more resources, which is why many owners of “weak” PCs have to abandon the so-called “Deer Meter”. But fortunately, there were still not indifferent developers who were able to create a complete alternative to the capabilities of XVM. This is exactly what we want to show you today.
The most interesting thing is that the modification displays the personal rating of the player from WG, which means that the rating is updated almost instantly.
This is the most advanced and improved option. It can completely replace the deer meter, as it is capable of displaying the following information:
Chance of winning when loading a battle
a dynamic chance of winning a battle in the form of a bar under the score panel, which takes into account not only the VG rating, but many other factors and displays the situation more correctly, almost the same as the chance of winning in the deer meter.
displaying the number of battles, % of wins and WG rating in the ears, by pressing Tab and when loading a battle
For more details, see the screenshots below:
After installing it in the ears and the damage panel, a display will be added personal rating player in one of three options:
In the form of rating output displaying % of wins as in XVM
in the form of a WG rating output with the already familiar coloring from the reindeer surveyor - for those who love numbers
a complete replacement of the reindeer gauge is, in my opinion, the best option
Introducing the first of its kind, full-fledged deer meter with performance rating output instead of WGR. This is a new development by modder VasyaPRO_2014 in which he is trying to combine all the known rating mods into one and make it as close as possible to the deer surveyor. This version already contains a very powerful and understandable mod settings file, very similar to the rating settings in the deer meter.
The mod can display the following information:
The scale by which a player’s effectiveness is determined for the WGR rating:
Mod setup:
The mod configuration file is located here: WOT\res_mods\configs\StatsInBattle\StatsInBattle.json, we recommend opening it using NotePad++.
Q: How can I disable markers above a vehicle by pressing ALT (win% and rating)?
A: To disable markers, open the settings file, find:
//Format for displaying statistics in markers above vehicles
"marker": (
//Enable marker module
"enable": true,
And replace true with false.
Installation:
Copy the res_mods folder to the game folder, confirming the replacement.
XVM - Config from Ms_Ramis - this is not just a mod, it is a complex mod that changes the interface and is designed to be useful and functional in combat, but at the same time does not affect FPS
Hello guys! In this article we will tell everyone about the benefits that one single mod can bring in game World of Tanks, which received the unique name XVM. And it’s not for nothing that this modification is considered one of the best, because the development team did their best and created a simply excellent thing, which was called the “deer measurer”. What does this mean? Everything is very simple, thanks to the reindeer meter during the battle, each player can see what percentage of victories all gamers have and, moreover, find out whether their team will win or not. After all, even before the start of the battle, the addition shows what percentage of the allied team will win, and this helps a lot, because it shows what strategy is best to use in battle. In addition to this, the mod contains a lot of other cookies that everyone can’t help but try and want to install.
Modification Deer gauge
As for the operation of the modification itself, we cannot help but talk about the fact that its interface is quite pleasant and convenient, which not only does not interfere during combat, but all the necessary information is in plain sight. The indicators are colored in colors that directly depend on the victory rate, which helps to visually assess the situation in which you will have to play in a few seconds even before the start of the battle. It is impossible not to notice that the percentage showing the probability of victory in battle is quite accurate and can only be wrong in some cases. Therefore, if before the start of the battle it shows 30%, then it immediately becomes clear that everyone will have to pull and only in this case is victory possible.
In addition to the reindeer tracker, the mod also includes such useful things as various game markers above tanks. There are a very large number of them and each player will be able to choose what he likes. Very useful in battle is the log of damage dealt to opponents, which will show how effectively you play right in battle. Another useful bonus for everyone will be a log of the damage received, from which you can find out who hit you and by how many units of strength. In addition to this information, you can see the type of projectile that caused damage, which also gives an additional advantage in each battle. Players will definitely be happy with the new light bulbs, which can replace the already boring standard ones. Thus, the game will become more beautiful, attractive and pleasing to the human eye. And another useful, but not the last, feature in this mod will be the display of player markers on the map and the direction of each gun.
Mod "User Meter"– shows the statistics of players in battle with three indicators: the player’s win percentage and his rounded efficiency rating, the total number of player battles. The win percentage is displayed across all of the player's armored vehicles. Efficiency rating is a qualitative characteristic that determines the effectiveness of a player’s actions in battle. You can calculate your rating at. The data is displayed on the battle loading screen, when you press the Tab button, in the middle and long list of commands (“ears”). Table of performance rating values:
less than 600 - Bad player (~6%)
600 – 900 - Below average player (~25%)
900-1200 - Average player (~43%)
1200-1500 - Good player (~22%)
1500-1800 - Great player (~3%)
more than 1800 - Unicum (~0.5%)
