Latest update information:

Updated for 1.4.0.1

Important: Coming out mid-summer 2019 new patch and the mod installation folder will change, now they need to be installed in the WOT/res_mods/1.5.1/ and WOT/mods/1.5.1/ folders. Most of the mods are working, just move them to the 1.5.1 folder, if one of the mods still doesn’t work, wait for it to be adapted on our website.

Another useful banned mod, showing a colored silhouette of an enemy tank that has just disappeared from the light.

Why install Shadow for WoT 1.5.1.1?

Despite the fact that the minimap, although it has the function of showing the location of the last tanks that emerged from the light, this is not shown in any way in the battle itself (that is, there is no such information anywhere except the minimap). This is not very convenient, which is why a mod was created, now considered prohibited, which will leave its colored silhouette at the last location of a tank that emerged from the light.

As you can see in the screenshot below, the mod completely shows the enemy, even indicating the direction in which the tower is facing. For those players who find it difficult to identify a technique by its silhouette, the author has also added a red text name.

Now let’s talk about how you can use this advantage. Imagine the situation: somewhere a few hundred meters away, an enemy tank destroyer suddenly appears and disappears almost immediately. Since this class of equipment does not like to move from place to place, there is a possibility that the car remained at the same point, only disappeared from the light. But thanks to the Shadow mod for 1.5.1.1, you can see not only the place where the self-propelled gun is parked, but also How What angle is she standing at? This greatly increases the likelihood of a successful shot.

Shadow is another prohibited modification, with which you will be able to see a shadow and a signature above the place where the glowing enemy used to be.

Features of the mod

Tank shadow. In place of the last light, the shadow of the tank appears.
Signature with the name of the car.
A ten-second timer; after it ends, the data disappears so as not to unnecessarily clutter the battlefield. But you can use the Alt key to show the information again.

All these three components of the mod allow you to fight a little more effectively. Without a cheat, the location of the vehicles that escaped the light is shown exclusively on the minimap, but it is not always possible to pay attention to it, so displaying this information on the battlefield is a much better option; greater concentration is achieved on the battle itself. Previously, the shadow was already included in the Chameleon mod, but after the author stopped supporting the modification, its components are distributed separately, for example, the same ones.

As you can see in the screenshot above, the mod added the inscription “VK 28.01 - 2S”, so the player knows that it’s already two seconds light tank the enemy is out of sight. The letters and numbers are large, you notice them immediately, and the timer allows you to plan further actions, for example, if only a couple of seconds have passed after leaving the light, you can easily catch up with the enemy and cause damage. But the Shadow is most useful in the fight against tank destroyers, which prefer to hide behind vegetation and cause damage. Once you have seen a self-propelled gun, you can always know where it is located, because tank destroyer lovers move quite rarely, preferring to take the same position again.

In the fight against ART-SAUs, the mod also shows itself to be excellent: if a light tank of an allied team illuminates the artillery, you can shoot at its shadow several times, and if the enemy has not moved, then he will be in trouble. Fans of “Gods of War” can also download a similar mod, for example,

With every new one World update of tanks becomes more interesting, colorful and exciting. In addition to changes in each update, to add variety to the game, various mods are written that allow you to slightly outwit the rules of the game and gain the upper hand over your opponent. Most of them are prohibited by the creators of the game and are considered cheats, since they contradict the rules of combat, but some are allowed to be used and they, albeit slightly, help in some moments.

The trial for the World of tanks 1.6.0.0 patch has been extended

Developed for a mod called “Shadow”, it’s perfect for those who didn’t have time to close their sights before the illuminated enemy tank went out again.

As you know, a shell fired into the fog will find its target if there is an unexposed tank there.

In principle, a tank that has disappeared in the fog can be quickly knocked out by approximately estimating its location from memory before disappearing and guessing in which direction it will go, but thinking and calculations require a little time, which is always not enough and the enemy tank leaves.

The “Shadow” mod helps you quickly find the location of the last illuminated tank after it disappears due to the silhouette it leaves behind, which will glow for 6 seconds. All that remains to be done is to aim at the silhouette and shoot.

This mod is intended primarily for destroying slow tanks, such as PTs usually are. It's no secret that it is anti-tank self-propelled units and artillery cause the most damage in the game. They are not afraid of the firefly, because they dismantle it with one shot and are not afraid heavy tank because they are always in the background under the cover of medium and heavy vehicles. They irritate many players because of their invulnerability according to the “shot and into the bushes” scheme, which is why they received the nickname “bush drones”. But usually, along with great firepower, they have poor protection and, importantly, low speed and maneuverability. This is exactly what you need to use the Shadow mod.

Within 6 seconds while the silhouette is glowing, the slow tank will not have time to maneuver into cover and will immediately be covered by enemy fire. The silhouette illumination time can be increased for those for whom 6 seconds is not enough. To do this you just need to press and hold left ALT.

The Shadow mod was fully tested in WOT 0.9.21 and showed good work without bugs or other glitches. In addition to this mod, you can use the “LHIT” mod, which shows all hits on an enemy tank without highlighting, but this mod is recognized as a cheat and is prohibited. You can use it at your own peril and risk, understanding that you can be banned for violating the rules of the game.
