Overview
I put these mod packs together after always finding some of the things I liked in one place but never all, these files are from over 20 different mods. The whole idea is functionality with a clean uncluttered look. Contiuously evolving, keep checking for changes.

Install
Mods are very easy to install as long as you follow the instructions exactly as follows.
1) Install Dokan Libraries - gotta have it for XvM Stats (skip if you do not plan to run xvm and just want the mods.) http://dokan-dev.net/en/download/ pls restart after installation.
a) Rename the existing res mods folder to res_mods1 or move it elsewhere prior to installation, especially if you're already running mods. Old Mod installations could interfere with the new mod pack, this will also preserve it to allow switching back later. You'll find it here --> C:\Games\World_Of_Tanks folder
2) download the mod file of choice to your desktop (for easy deletion later). extract directly into C:\Games\World_Of_Tanks
For assistance on deciding which package will work for you read below.
Once downloaded extract directly to your C:\Games\World_of_Tanks or unzip to desktop and then copy and past the files in the correct location.
3) To Run the game there are three choices.
a) Start game normally to use mods but not XvM,
b) Dbl click xvm-stat.exe to run XvM found in C:\Games\World_Of_Tanks,
c) Wot Starter (available as a stand alone download)Download and extract into games folder dbl lick it, then click the button that looks like a file, browse to C:\Games\World_of_Tanks and dbl click WoTLauncher.exe, THEN click the checkbox indicating you would like to use Xvm and THEN click Start. (wot starter still auto updates and you use XvM, Some older machines will need c++ for windows, included in the stand alone download)

WoT Starter
To use Wot Starter to run XvM and still receive updates automatically, find Wot Starter.exe in your res mods folder and dbl clk it. Then click the button that looks like a file and browse to the C:\Games\World_of_Tanks folder and click on WotLauncher.exe. THEN before you proceed check the XvM check box and you're good to go, click ok.
XvM auto updater
this handly little tool keeps xvm up to date with the last known stable version, easy to use.
Settings - World Of Tanks
Server side reticle is turned off in World of Tanks Settings Screen (Checkbox style) Choose sights from the sight options in World of Tanks Settings.
Regular Sights - Every mod pack has 6 or so choices in the Reticle Tab. Don't forget to set both Sniper and arcade. Pay attention to the transparency sliders to turn features on and off. See the image link for suggested settings
Clean Up Your Mess!
C:\Games\World_Of_Tanks\Updates maybe be cleaned out, these are install files only. Once the launcher has used them once they are garbage.
Clean out Windows (Using windows itself)
Disk Cleanup (two step method)
Open windows own disk clean up and run it on C: drive BUT, before clicking ok to execute the clean up, look just below the check box window and click "clean up system files". Then when it pops again review the checkbox list. For example i freed up 30 gigs because i re installed windows. Windows upgrades will leave at least 20 gigs unusable. "windowsold" in the C drive is a lot of wasted space. The only way to remove it is the forementioned method. For most users this won't change a whole lot due to the size of hard drives people are using. Some use a small solid state drive to run windows. 120 gig is recomended, then have a second 500 gig or 1 Tb drive as storage. In this instance having 20+ gigs tied up makes a big difference. Hope this helps. Windows updates, once installed, leave behind the install package on your computer that is never used again. Its like the install file for any program or the update files for WoT. One use, then garbage. Disk clean the two step way cleans out old windows update files. 3 + gigs depending on the OEM install and how old the comp is.
