Horizontal wot stabilization. Correct World of Tanks settings are the key to efficiency! Let's move on to the advanced graphics settings: "Graphics" menu, "Advanced" tab, graphics options

Good day to all!

Newbies, rejoice! Today you can learn how to properly set up the game.

This is important, because by setting up the game correctly, you can play comfortably. Let's look at the basic game settings.

Experienced gamers have long known how this is done.

Therefore, the article is unlikely to be useful to them. But for “newbies” who are just starting to play tanks, it’s worth spending time reading.

The settings will increase the profitability of the game and playing World of Tanks will become much more comfortable. You will learn how to adjust graphics, aim, markers, how to increase FPS and other important points.

From this article you will learn:

Game settings: why are they needed?

Graphics settings in any game, including World of Tanks, are necessary. With them, the chance of winning increases, and the gameplay becomes more enjoyable.

Often, FPS drops interfere with movement, and shots often miss the target. The result is that the enemy gains an advantage over you.

FPS is a display of frames per second. The value depends on the processor power, the optimal amount of RAM, and PC configuration. The most optimal option is starting from 50 frames. The best parameters can be achieved by having high-performance computers, optimal RAM, and powerful processors.

But what if you don’t have everything listed? Is it possible to configure the game correctly? Undoubtedly.

Setting it up correctly

Now you will learn how to compensate for weak points and maximize the configuration. Smart World of Tanks settings will help with this. The game has many settings that affect not only the image quality, but also the gameplay as a whole.

However, please note that there are also settings that do not affect performance. They are in the "Game" tab. Here you can customize selections of battles, a mini-map, chat, in a word, every little thing. To do this, select and put a tick in the right place.

But the rest of the online game settings are important. They will help you change the quality of graphics and adjust the screen extension. At the same time, the choice of quality must be approached with caution, without overestimating the performance of your PC.

We study how to set up the World of Tanks game for battle

1. General settings. Located in general settings. Here I think everything is clear.

2. Spam is disabled in Chat and message censorship is enabled. Here you can accept friend requests, invitations to platoons, and messages.

3. In the “types of random battles” section, “assault” and “counter battle” are disabled. In such modes, the maps are the same as in random battles, but the victory condition and the location of the bases change. Even in the “Counter Battle” there is only one base left, victory goes to the one who destroys all enemies or captures the base first. And in “Storm” one of the teams is engaged in protecting the base, the second – accordingly, defending it. Personally, I don't like these types of battles, but you can try it for a change.

4. Option “Combat interface” - here the “Optics effect” is disabled (considerably spoils the picture) and the display of a combat vehicle that destroys you (personally makes me nervous).

5. Be sure to check the boxes next to “horizontal stabilization in a sniper scope” and “enable dynamic camera.” If you don't do this, you won't be able to shoot on the move.

6. Regarding the mini-map options, it is better to disable them and use the mini-map mod, which has an extended feature. When using the mod, disable the parameters. If this is not done, the parameters will decrease due to duplication.

7. We also put a checkmark on “display distinctive marks” - this allows you to exchange guns with other players.

General settings

Above I wrote that you can set automatic settings for World of Tanks. But it’s better not to be lazy and do it manually.

There are many types of settings.

Graphics quality can be adjusted by going to “Advanced Settings”. Given the naivety of a powerful computer, we raise everything to the maximum (slide the sliders forward). If the hardware is weak, we think about what FPS indicators are important to increase or decrease. Quite a weak PC? Move the sliders to minimum. Well, if all else fails, download mods or an assembly.

Problems with sound are easy to set up. Adjusts the sound sliders to a comfortable volume. The microphone and voice communication are adjusted in the same way.

In the “Control” tab you can change the current control settings and sight sensitivity.

In “Scope Settings” you can configure the standard game crosshair. There are both arcade and sniper sights, the type of aiming, markers, and weapon indicator change.

Markers are configured in the corresponding tab, where the usual and alternative markers of destroyed tanks (allies and opponents) are adjusted.

How to configure a video card?

Now let's figure out how to configure the video card of the World of Tanks game. You can consider this using the example of NVIDIA. To configure drivers, right-click on any empty space.

You will see a list with the following parameters: 3D - adjust image settings - settings according to the 3D application - apply.

Select the map control panel - manage 3D parameters.

Now set the following parameters: CUDA / texture filtering / anisotropic filtering / multi-display acceleration / mixed GPU / vertical sync pulse / triple buffering / background light shading / anti-aliasing / maximum number of pre-rendered frames / gamma correction, power management mode / anti-aliasing / parameters. If there are no options, configure the ones you have.

These settings will make the card work correctly.

Graphics settings

Here you can choose from 3 levels of “graphics quality” - high, medium, low. You can also configure it manually.

You can choose from the following options:

1. Fog display.

2. Water display.

3. Drawing distance.

4. Object.

5. Game effect.

7. Drawing distance.

Control

The placement of all controls available during battle can be customized in Touch Controls. Attention: some are disabled in the general management settings.

Once you click on the selected item, a green area will appear. Within its limits, the element moves and there is a slider with which the sizes of the elements change. You need to configure the interface so that playing is as comfortable as possible.

In “control” you can adjust the sensitivity of the joystick, camera and other game parameters.

1. On – the sight will constantly follow the captured targets.

2. Auto-aim – influences the behavior of the auto-aim.

3. By button – makes it possible to turn off/on the auto-aim during battles for arcade and sniper modes.

4. In arcade – automatic aim tracking in arcade mode.

5. Left-handed mode – swaps the shooting button and movement joystick.

6. Off – the sight will not automatically follow the target.

7. Free view – disables/enables areas that allow you to rotate the camera away from the gun during battle.

8. Dynamic joystick – changes the movement joystick.

Markers

Here the settings are made for the markers of those players that are displayed above their combat vehicles during battles, for the alternative and standard modes.

For any type of military equipment, the following parameters are included: type of equipment, icon, model, player name, vehicle durability, level.

Setting up the World of Tanks game correctly is not difficult at all. Even if this is the first time, just read what you wrote again. I'm sure everything will work out!

Once you complete the settings, you will be amazed at how many new possibilities will open up for you. Lack of productivity and still get everything done? You'll have to think about buying a new video card.


The most popular game, "Belarusian miracle", a game of all times. The online game World of Tanks has never been called that name. And there were reasons for that. How could it happen that a game from a little-known Wargaming studio, located in a little-known country, gained wild popularity within a year? No one has the answer to this question.

By the way, “Tanks” still holds the Guinness Book of Records record as the most successful game that has gained popularity in the shortest period of time. The success of "Tanks" has not yet been replicated by any game, even from the most famous studios.

However, with each update, “driving into tanks” becomes more and more difficult, as the system requirements of the game grow. Now, without the correct graphics settings, it is not possible to play and “bend” normally. Therefore, we will try to figure out which graphics settings in the World of Tanks game are optimal for conducting successful battles.

What you need to know about system requirements

System requirements in "Tanks" are not moderate. In order for the game to function at maximum settings, a very powerful computer is required. Moreover, the more powerful the better. Because a comfortable game requires an impressive number of frames per second. Without this, it will not be possible to conduct effective battles.

The requirements for the video card are even higher. Ideally, the user should have an NVidia 1080. Then we can talk about high-quality and productive graphics. Setting up graphics in World of Tanks can completely load even a very powerful machine.

No less demands are placed on the processor and RAM. For a comfortable game, you need at least the latest generation Intel Core i3 and 8 gigabytes of RAM. Without this, the game will be terribly slow. And in "Tanks" a split second decides everything. But optimal graphics settings in World of Tanks allow you to slightly reduce the load on the processor and RAM. Therefore, it is important to be able to configure the graphics correctly.

General settings

Let's move on to the graphics settings for "Tanks". And the first section is called "General Settings". They also affect the graphical component of the game. Therefore, you need to be able to configure them correctly.

So, setting up graphics in World of Tanks begins. First of all, we turn on the dynamic camera and horizontal stabilization in sniper mode. This is absolutely necessary for a comfortable game. But it’s better to turn off the optics effect, because it’s of no use and puts a strain on the hardware.

Screen Settings

They depend on the type of monitor you are using. These include screen resolution, refresh rate, aspect ratio and other parameters. For a comfortable game you need to enable dynamic change, set the 3D render resolution to 100 percent and turn off Anti-aliasing too. This way we improve the performance of World of Tanks. Maximum graphics settings are not always good for a particular hardware.

You need to be careful about the screen settings, as incorrect ones can affect your vision. Especially if you're still using an ancient CRT monitor.

Remember that the optimal frequency for such monitors is 75-85 hertz. If you have a modern LCD screen, then leave the standard 60 hertz and don’t bother. Correctly setting the screen will help you enjoy the game and not damage your eyesight.

Graphics Settings

Now we come to the very essence. It is these settings that determine the image quality and overall game performance. Immediately go to the “Advanced” tab and turn on the standard graphics mode. Set the texture quality to "High". This is quite enough.

Disable unnecessary effects: grass in sniper mode, effects from under caterpillars, transparency of foliage, dynamic change in the quality of effects and tracks of caterpillars. You can play normally without these "beauties". Setting up graphics in World of Tanks is a delicate matter and does not tolerate excesses.

We set all other sliders to the “High” position. In addition to water quality, terrain, details and additional effects. You can turn them off altogether. This will help improve game performance several times. This is the basic graphics setup for a World Tanks laptop. All sorts of “beauties” and effects for laptops are destructive.

Why shouldn't you use enhanced graphics?

The fact is that such improvements are only possible for computers with top-end hardware configurations. Most users can only dream of such quality settings. Not to mention laptop owners. If you don’t have a top-end PC, then it’s better not to even look at the settings for improved graphics.

The same applies to the type of client being downloaded. There are SD versions - with regular texture resolution and HD - with high-resolution textures. It’s probably not worth explaining which type of client to choose for a more comfortable game. And so it is clear. Graphics settings in World of Tanks will be much better in the absence of high-resolution textures.

What else do you need to know?

In any case, medium settings are enough for a comfortable game. And some effects and “beauties” can be turned off altogether. Don't be fooled by graphical improvements like "Track Tracks". They only load the computer. Do not install any mods to improve graphics. It has been proven that game performance only decreases with them. Do not use all kinds of video card “boosters”. This is a direct path to getting a burned out video card.

It would also be a good idea to check the capabilities of your video card on the manufacturer’s official website. Knowing its characteristics, you can experiment with the settings and customize the game “to suit you.” But the main thing here is not to overdo it.

In any case, it’s worth knowing the overall characteristics of your computer. Because without this knowledge it will be impossible to configure the game for maximum performance. And this is exactly what we are striving for. "Tanks" is a very capricious game. It requires an appropriate level of hardware and fine tuning.

Conclusion

All of the above settings will help you achieve maximum frame rates during the game. Your performance will also immediately improve as your response increases. This or that action will take less time.

As a result, you will be able to “bend” more effectively. Especially if you have a “pumped up” gaming mouse with good response. Without this, you won’t be able to successfully play “Tanks”.

One of the most important parameters affecting the playability of Online games is FPS.

FPS stands for Frame per Second (number of displayed frames per second).

Why is this necessary? Correctly setting up graphics in World of Tanks, as in any other Online game, significantly increases your chances of winning. FPS drops interfere with movement, make it difficult to aim, and usually end in “shots at nothing,” long reload times, and victory for the enemy.

FPS depends on your computer configuration. Good FPS starts from 35 frames per second and above. The optimal result is 50 frames per second and above.

To achieve good FPS, you must either have a high-performance gaming computer with a top-end graphics card, plenty of RAM and a powerful processor, or try to customize the game as much as possible to suit your configuration. Weaknesses in the system can be compensated for by proper graphics settings in World of Tanks, which we will talk about now.

For convenience, we have divided the settings according to the degree of influence on graphics and FPS, using a color scheme

These settings can be adjusted “as your heart desires”. Does not affect FPS.

We recommend correcting it first. This is true for mid-level systems, when you want to see beautiful graphics and stable FPS, but resources do not allow you to set everything to the maximum. These settings do not greatly affect the gameplay.

Graphics settings that do not affect FPS

You can customize these settings as you wish without worrying about performance loss


Graphics settings affecting FPS

3D render resolution. Changes the resolution of 3D objects in the scene. Affects the depth of the 3D scene. Reducing the parameter improves the performance of weak computers.

You can adjust the 3D rendering while playing. If during a battle your FPS drops, use “right Shift -” to decrease the depth of the scene and “right Shift +” to increase it. Reducing the depth will increase FPS on the fly.

Screen resolution. The higher the resolution, the higher the load on the video card. It is recommended to select a value that matches your monitor, otherwise the image will become blurred. On very old video cards you have to lower the resolution to get “playable” fps. We recommend lowering the resolution below the screen resolution as a last resort if other methods no longer help.

Vertical Sync And triple buffering. Vertical sync is the synchronization of the frame rate in the game with the vertical scan frequency of the monitor. Triple buffering avoids the appearance of artifacts in the picture. If your system produces less than 60 FPS, the developers recommend disabling both parameters (note: on modern monitors it does not particularly affect the picture).

Smoothing Removes jagged edges of 3D objects (ladder effect), making the picture more natural. It is not recommended to enable it when FPS is below 50.

Let's move on to the advanced graphics settings: "Graphics" menu, "Advanced" graphics settings tab.

"Graphic arts" Maximum influences the number of FPS produced by your video card.
Switching the graphics mode to "Standard" switches the engine to an old render with outdated effects and lighting. With standard rendering, most advanced graphics settings become unavailable. It is recommended to enable it on weak computers.


Texture quality. The higher the quality of the textures, the more detailed and clearer the picture in the game looks. The higher this parameter, the more dedicated video memory is needed. If your video card has a limited amount of video memory, texture quality must be set to the minimum. (Maximum texture quality is only available when “improved renderer” is enabled and on a 64-bit operating system.)

Lighting quality. Opens up a whole range of dynamic effects in the game: sun rays, optical effects, shadows from physical sources (trees, buildings and tanks). This parameter greatly affects the performance of the video card. If you have a weak video card, set the lighting quality to medium values ​​or lower.

Shadow quality. Affects the rendering of shadows from objects. Reducing the quality of shadows does not greatly affect the gameplay. If you have an old video card, the first step is to set the shadow quality to minimum.

Grass in sniper mode. Affects not only performance, but also gameplay. If your FPS in sniper mode drops below 40, you need to disable it.

Extra quality effects. Affects “special effects” in the game: smoke, dust, explosions, flames. By decreasing this parameter, you can reduce the number of particles in the frame and limit the distance at which they will be displayed. It is recommended to leave it at least “low”, otherwise explosions and other elements necessary for orientation in battle will not be visible.

Add. effects in sniper mode. They regulate the same thing, but in sniper mode. If during sniper mode your FPS drops, which undoubtedly affects your accuracy, it is recommended to reduce the parameter (not below the “low” level).

Amount of vegetation. Adjusts the density and distance of vegetation drawing in the game. When FPS is low, it is recommended to set it to minimum. This can free up precious megabytes of video memory.

Post-processing. Affects effects in the afterlife - shading and the effect of hot air from damaged cars and burning objects. If you are hiding behind a destroyed tank and your FPS starts to drop, it is recommended to disable this option.

Effects from under the tracks. They saturate the picture with the effects of scattered soil, splashes of water and snow. The setting does not affect performance much. By turning it off, you can free up video memory a little.


Landscape quality. The parameter determines at what distance the quality of the landscape begins to become simpler. This parameter heavily loads the processor. Attention! With the minimum setting, there is a strong distortion of the landscape, so you may not see some ledge behind which the enemy is hiding, and after the shot the projectile will hit the edge of the obstacle, and not where you were aiming. It is recommended to set the setting value to at least “medium”.

Water quality. This parameter adds wave effects, water vibrations when moving, and reflections from objects. If you have a weak video card, it is recommended to reduce the parameter.

Decals quality. Affects the drawing distance and detail of decals - detail textures that increase image quality (fallen leaves, traces of dirt, paving slabs and other sharp objects scattered across the map). When set to “off,” even shell craters disappear. The more decals, the more video memory is required to load them. If you are not bothered by the simplification of the landscape, it is recommended to set it to “minimum” at low FPS.

Object detailing. In the game, all objects have several models of different quality. Currently, buildings have 3 types of objects, tanks from five. The quality of object rendering greatly affects performance, and at large distances small objects will still not be visible. When an object is removed, its model changes to a rougher one. The parameter affects the distance at which a higher-quality model will be drawn. The lower the parameter is set, the shorter the drawing distance for high-quality models will be.

Transparency of foliage. Disables drawing of foliage at close distances. It is recommended to enable it on weak systems.

Tree detailing. The setting operates on the same principle as "Object detailing", but only for trees. If you experience drops in FPS when trees appear, it is best to set this parameter to a minimum (along with it, it is recommended to enable “Foliage Transparency”).

In the last article we talked about which one is needed and this is the primary condition for a comfortable game. But no less important is the correct setting of the game parameters.

Correct settings are the key to a comfortable game! Now we will briefly look at all the game settings and pay special attention to graphics settings.

1. General settings

The “Game” tab contains general settings.

In the “Chat” section, you can enable message censorship so that stars are displayed instead of swear words (recommended for children). Here you can also disable spam, invitations to a platoon, friend requests and messages from those who are not in your contact list (friends). Personally, I'm fed up with these messages, I turned off the chat altogether and am enjoying the game

In the “Types of random battles” section, you can disable “Encounter battle” and “Assault”. These modes use the same maps as in random battles, but the location of the bases and victory conditions have been changed. In the “Encounter Battle” mode, there is one common base and the team that captures it or destroys all opponents wins. In Assault mode, one team defends the base, the other defends. To win, the Defenders must prevent the base from being captured and at least one team member survive. To win, the Attackers need to capture the base or destroy all opponents at any cost. Personally, I don’t like these types of fights, but you can try them for a change and see if they suit your taste.

In the “Combat Interface” section, you can turn off the effect of optics (the green background in the sight) so that it does not spoil the picture, and turn off the display of the vehicle that destroyed you (if this makes you nervous).

Be sure to check the “Enable dynamic camera” and “Horizontal stabilization in the sniper scope” checkboxes, otherwise it’s simply impossible to shoot on the move, the scope dangles in all directions!

I uncheck the “Show vehicle markers on the scoreboard” and “Show combat effectiveness tapes” checkboxes, because I don’t see the point in them, they are just distracting.

As for the minimap options (camera direction beam, SPG firing sector and additional features), I disable them because I am using a minimap mod with advanced capabilities, which I will tell you about in the next article. This is important, if you, like me, use the minimap mod, then disable these parameters so that they are not duplicated, thereby reducing performance.

When the “Record battles” option is enabled, small files (replays) will be recorded in the “replays” folder, which is located in the game folder, which can then be viewed. This almost does not affect the performance of the game and you can easily share them with friends or upload them to the site “wotreplays.ru” so that other users can watch how you bend But these are not video files, they can only be played by the game itself and stop working after exit next patch. Therefore, if you want to post a video on YouTube or save the history of your victories for posterity, do not forget to digitize the best replays after hard battles using some program for recording video from the screen (ShadowPlay, Bandicam, Fraps).

Well, by checking the last checkbox “Display distinctive marks” you can compare barrels with players in the game. Stars or notches (from 1 to 3) received in battles for great services to the homeland will be displayed on the barrel of your tank

Immediately when you switch to the Graphics tab, the screen settings are displayed.

If you have just installed the game and it is still displayed in a window and not on the full screen, then check the “Full screen” box and click the “Apply” button. Only after this you need to select “Screen Resolution”. If you have a liquid crystal (flat-panel, TFT) monitor, then choose the maximum resolution and leave the frame rate at 60. If you still have a fucking box of a picture tube (CRT) monitor on your desk, then a resolution of 1280x1024 with a frequency of 85 Hz is usually suitable for it ( or 75 Hz). Click “Apply” and if everything is displayed normally (not stretched or flickering), then this is good. If you cannot find the resolution you need or the image appears stretched, then try also changing the “Screen Aspect Ratio”.

In the Graphics Quality field, you can manually select low, medium, high, or maximum quality. This will install the appropriate set of settings, which we will talk about next. If you are not playing on a calculator (a very weak laptop), then make sure that the “3D render resolution” slider is set to 100% and uncheck “Dynamic change”, otherwise the picture in the game will be blurry.

It is better not to enable the “Vertical Sync” option, as it negatively affects performance. This is only required in case of noticeable frame tearing and is applicable on high-end gaming PCs. The “Triple Buffering” setting is needed to improve the performance of the video card when “Vertical Sync” is enabled, but it affects the performance of the processor that performs this buffering.

The Anti-aliasing parameter improves the picture, it becomes softer and more natural, but this significantly loads the video card and is designed for powerful gaming PCs. In this field you can select different anti-aliasing modes from lighter (FXAA) to quite heavy (TSSAA-HQ).

“Viewing Angle (FoV)” specifies the location of the camera relative to your tank. That is, the angle at which you will look at it. The default is set to 95 degrees and "Dynamic FoV" is disabled. Nobody really complains about these settings, so you can leave everything as it is. If you want to experiment, then you now know how everything was, so that you can put it back in place later

The “Gamma” parameter adjusts the brightness, but don’t touch it in vain, it’s better to reset your monitor to default settings, since the game is well calibrated.

“Color filter” is a gourmet option that imposes a different background in the game, similar to the effects in cameras. I tried it, it’s glamorous but useless...

Well, “Color Blind Mode” is intended for people with vision problems.

On the same “Graphics” tab, if you click on the “Advanced” button, the graphics quality settings will be displayed.

At the very top there are the already familiar “Recommended” button for automatically selecting the optimal parameters, the “Graphics Quality” field for setting a set of settings from low to maximum, the “3D render resolution” slider, which should be at 100%, and the “Dynamic change” checkbox. , which should not have a check mark.

As graphics quality increases, the frame rate per second (FPS) decreases. It is believed that a person sees 24 frames per second and for the smoothness of the picture it is desirable that the game produces at least 30 FPS. But from my own experience I can say that normal game dynamics start at 60 FPS.

What is the difference between low dynamics and high dynamics? With low dynamics, your tank drives like a Zhiguli (it just stalls), although maybe like a BMW. I have felt this more than once and you will feel it if you follow my advice! Extras (majors) have powerful computers that, even with high graphics settings, produce decent FPS (100 or more). Therefore, they feel the dynamics in the game much better, the machine subtly reacts to every fiber of the soul and they play more efficiently. And on a fast ST or LT without dynamics it’s generally sad... I’m not even talking about supercomputers that are used in e-sports. This is exactly what they are needed for - for dynamics.

An online game is not a single-player shooter and what is important in it is victory over a live opponent, and not sluggish participation in a meat grinder with bots. Then the game gives that desired moral satisfaction after hard work, and not frustration and a bottle of vodka. Convinced, no? Then read on

I have a mid-range gaming PC and it runs the game at maximum graphics settings, delivering 40 FPS. At high settings it produces an average of 60 FPS. In the settings window that I provided above, you can select the graphics type “Standard” or “Enhanced”. So, despite the fact that the hardware allows it, I have long preferred to play on standard graphics, without extra goodies.

Just like that, simply and angrily, yes. But what a pleasure the game brings when you race on a bachata (or at least a four-wheeler) at a speed of 100-150 FPS! And there’s not a speck of dust in your eye, no clouds of smoke and rising earth from a T92 shell that fell nearby, no scary grass painted schoolchildren for ice cream highly paid designers, no fog that prevents you from aiming the T95 hatch from 500 meters, no other nasty graphic innovations that turn a BMW into a Zhiguli and prevent you from playing effectively.

Many computers handle standard graphics much better, the FPS is many times higher, and nothing prevents you from manually setting the available sliders to high parameters, at which the picture turns out to be quite neat, clean and dynamic!

I also recommend turning off grass and effects in sniper mode (they are very annoying), foliage transparency (makes the game even cleaner and faster), tracks and effects from under the tracks (you never look at them at all). “Quality extra. effects" it is better not to set it above average or turn it off altogether, since they also interfere (for example, when an artillery shell explodes nearby). It’s better to uncheck the “Dynamically change the quality of effects” checkbox; there’s no need for the graphics in the game to float.

In addition to high dynamics and clarity of the picture, you will receive some pleasant bonuses that you will notice as the game progresses (for example, thanks to the transparency of the water, you can clearly see the bottom topography and where you can drive along it). Try it, play for a while and you will notice that you have become more effective at playing. The main thing is not to rush forward on the wings of FPS

I don't promise anything, because I don't eat ties or caps. But if you still don't like the standard graphics, just change the settings. The screenshot below shows the settings for improved graphics, providing an optimal quality/performance ratio for an average-power PC.

You can download a detailed description of the settings for improved graphics, how they affect image quality, and what load they place on the video card and processor in the “” section.

And also, if you need to restart the game to apply the settings, a corresponding message will appear. In any case, I recommend restarting the game if you make major changes to graphics settings.

When we get to mods, there are still interesting opportunities to make the picture cleaner and the sight more stable

If, despite all the settings, your computer is sorely lacking in performance, consider installing a new level of GTX 1050 Ti or 1060.

MSI GTX 1050 Ti graphics card

Here is a screenshot of the settings in the Sound tab.

Everything seems clear here, so I’ll just add a little personal experience.

I turn off the music right away, it interferes with the game no less than the improved graphics

If you do not use a microphone in team battles, then disable voice communication by unchecking the only checkbox. Turn it on if needed. Communication works on the principle of a walkie-talkie - you press the microphone activation button (Q), say, release and listen to others. Anyone who holds the button for a long time pollutes the air with noise from his microphone (computer, apartment).

Headphones A4Tech Bloody G430

The microphone must be connected before starting the game. If your microphone is not always on, then after connecting it it is better to restart the computer, otherwise it may not work or work poorly. First check through the Skype testing service that the microphone is working properly, you can be heard well and there is no strong background noise. If necessary, increase (or decrease) the microphone sensitivity in the system settings (in Windows 7: Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Manage audio devices\Recording).

Then launch the game, enable voice communication and select your microphone in the appropriate field. The Player Voice Volume setting affects how you hear others. The default “microphone sensitivity” should be sufficient; at level 70 and up, your voice may begin to hum and cause discomfort to other players, do not overdo it with this parameter and ask your comrades not “How can you hear me?”, but “Is it too loud?” ?. I usually reduce the “general ambient volume level during a conversation” to 50, this muffles all the sounds of the game at the moment when a comrade addresses you and you don’t have to ask him again.

Well, the last, but not the newest feature is national voice acting. I usually leave the standard one, because who knows what the crew of a Chinese tank is babbling there, but it’s worth a try, it’s a challenging thing

And yet, there is some other “Start test” button, which I just noticed. Try it, tell me later in the comments

In the mods we will also install sound on the light bulb, what a song!

With the settings on the “Management” tab, everything is even simpler.

But I will still give some advice. I recommend reducing the sensitivity of the sniper scope and increasing the sensitivity of the artillery scope. Set it approximately like in my screenshot. This will give higher aiming accuracy when you are in a tank, since with high sensitivity, especially at medium and long distances, it is difficult to target enemies, the sight moves too quickly. And when you’re on the art, on the contrary, you’re tired of dragging the scope back and forth across the entire map with low sensitivity, and the mat gets erased...

Mouse A4Tech XL-740K

Don’t even think about turning on any inversion, only plums will work

And one more good piece of advice. If you have a mouse with additional buttons, then you can assign a specific consumables cell to one of them. In cells 1-3, the types of projectiles are switched and there is no need to touch them. But in cells 4-6 there may be manually activated consumables. For example, I install a fire extinguisher in the first cell, which corresponds to key 4 on the keyboard. Instead of key 4, I long ago assigned the side button on the mouse in the game settings. This allows you to quickly put out a fire in the event of a fire, rather than searching for the right button on the keyboard while the ammunition explodes. In addition, if there is an increased risk of fire, for example, an AMX 1390 came aft of you and is glad that it got to the soft one, then it won’t hurt to click at that time side mouse button for prevention! Works like an automatic fire extinguisher, but costs 7 times less

In the next article about mods, I will tell you how to assign several keys to one action and shoot more accurately! And, if you mess up the control settings, there is a “Default” button there

Go to the “Sight” tab.

Well, there’s nothing to say at all. You can adjust the size and shape of the sight, which I once tried. But the default settings are close to optimal, except perhaps make the size larger. Yes, and somewhere there is a sight with an indication selected. If you point it at the enemy's VLD (upper frontal part), it turns red, if you point it at the NLD (you can guess it yourself), it turns green. In general, it makes it clear whether your projectile can penetrate armor in this place. Red - no, green - yes.

But don’t bother with this, since in the article about mods we will install a more convenient sight with the correct indication that takes into account the angle of entry of the projectile!

Well, I just have to say that on this tab there are two more pads (pun intended) for setting up a separate arcade (3rd person) and sniper sight (in optics).

Here you can customize various icons above the tanks.

I somehow made the optimal settings for myself and they were saved, since now most of the settings (except for graphics and sound, in my opinion) are stored on the server and are pulled up from it again, even if the game is completely reinstalled.

There are also pads for setting up markers for allies, enemies and destroyed vehicles. For allies, they are the same there, but for destroyed ones, only the model of the vehicle for reference, the rest is disabled so as not to interfere with the screen.

I’m telling you everything honestly, but I still hope that you will install the right mods and you won’t have to configure anything manually.

8. Removing unnecessary files

And finally, some more useful information. You can significantly reduce the amount of disk space a game takes up by deleting all files from the Updates folder.

This folder contains temporary files that are downloaded during game updates. The developers themselves confirmed that these files are absolutely unnecessary and can be safely deleted. This is especially true for SSD drives that have a small capacity. For example, this folder took up 13.4 GB for me! For which she was sentenced to destruction without the right of restoration

Hard drive A-Data Ultimate SU650 120GB

9. Conclusion

To summarize, I want to say the following. If you want to win, forget about the special effects and set up the game well! After all, defeats do not bring any pleasure, but only irritate and leave a feeling of dissatisfaction!

We will talk about medium tanks of the 10th level. Let's look at the most interesting vehicles and their features, as well as the differences between medium tanks and other classes of vehicles in the game.

DPM

It is also DPM, that is, Damage Per Minute, or damage per minute, which is the most important distinguishing feature of this class. Let's compare the average damage per minute for all classes, but without taking into account any modifiers:

  • medium tanks - 2746;
  • Tank destroyer – 2727;
  • – 2523;
  • Self-propelled guns – 2037

Obviously, the ST class has the highest damage per minute among all vehicle classes. In second place are tank destroyers, which in today's realities are somewhat imbalanced. But it’s much easier to deal damage, drag out battles and shine on ST. Why?

Stabilization

In WoT there is a hidden tank parameter - stabilization. This parameter determines the circle of dispersion when moving, turning the body, or turning the turret. If the player does not know the tank's stabilization, some hangar characteristics may confuse him. A prime example of this is vol.140. If you compare its gun with the T-62A, it seems that the object’s aiming time is longer. But this is not so, because in terms of stabilization parameters the ob.140 exceeds the T-62A +\- by 25%. This means that while on the move its aiming circle is scattered a quarter less than that of the T-62A. Let's compare stabilization on the move without modifiers. The indicator indicates the minimum increase in dispersion when moving:

  • medium tanks - 0.131;
  • heavy tanks - 0.189;
  • Tank destroyer – 0.197

We see that there is a huge gap in this parameter. Medium tanks are ahead again.

Stealth

Among the positive characteristics of medium tanks is a parameter called stealth. Let's compare this indicator with other classes of equipment. The values ​​are relevant for a completely stopped vehicle without modifiers:

  • medium tanks - 13.61%;
  • Tank destroyer – 9.33%;
  • Self-propelled guns – 6.98%;
  • heavy tanks - 4.84%

Analysis shows that medium tanks are again ahead of everyone. Camouflage in WoT is a very tricky option. It depends on the height of the tank and the location of the dimensional points. It seems that the most stealthy class should be artillery. But by design, most STs are very low, so their camouflage is off the charts. If you enhance it with the appropriate crew skill, then you will completely stop glowing, and in some cases not even in open areas. It should be emphasized that the ST has a smaller gun caliber than other tanks. This allows you to shoot from bushes and glow much less than firing from large guns.

Speed

One of the most important indicators of ST. Even in the first games with robots and tanks, speed was a counterbalance to armor and HP. So now, medium tanks in WoT do not have strong armor. Their safety margin leaves much to be desired, for example:

  • heavy tanks - 2420;
  • Tank destroyer - 1993;
  • medium tanks - 1953.

We won’t even compare artillery; its safety margin fluctuates between one and two shots from classmates. As you can see, the strength indicator is the worst at level 10. But speed is our comrade and brother. We can take advantageous positions at the beginning of the battle, and then quickly change them if the other flank needs our support. In the same situation, the heavy tank will go into the hangar, and we can escape pursuit.

Rate of fire

This parameter most likely relates to DPM, but I would like to highlight it separately. We have the highest damage per minute, and the average one-time damage is the lowest:

  • Self-propelled guns – 1483;
  • Tank destroyer – 812.5;
  • heavy tanks - 496;
  • medium tanks - 373.1.

This determines our rate of fire. The data is given without modifiers:

  • medium tanks - 10.21 s;
  • heavy tanks – 16 s;
  • Tank destroyer – 26.3 s;
  • Self-propelled guns – 51.51 s.

It is obvious that in this indicator we are ahead of everyone. This means that for one enemy shot we fire at least two, and the fastest-firing CTs are capable of firing three shots. Don't forget about the Soviet small-caliber 100 mm cannons, which are capable of keeping almost any tank in the game on its tracks, even with upgraded repairs. Given our stabilization, we can not stop to shoot, but shoot on the move. Even if there is no penetration or you miss, another projectile will arrive in 5-7 seconds.

Armor penetration

A very important indicator for a tank in WoT. Medium tanks have remarkable penetration, but don't let that fool you. Considering that all medium tanks at level 10 fire sub-caliber shells, with the exception of the Chinese tank 121, there is some catch here, namely in the sub-caliber shells. They have a number of positive and negative characteristics: they fly quickly, are not afraid of screens, have high penetration, but their normalization leaves much to be desired. When shooting at long distances, they lose a lot of armor penetration. I suggest comparing:

  • Self-propelled guns – 344;
  • Tank destroyer – 290;
  • medium tanks - 260.5;
  • heavy tanks - 250.5.

Although medium tanks are in third place, using the penetration of tank destroyers is far from the easiest task.
