I've added some requested features over the past few days. so I'll summarize now.

I am offering my help in generating some nice reports with graphs and possibly expand the usability of this project. We all know people like graphical stuff

Now I am good at doing stuff in VBA and Excel is my very close friend, but honestly I can't find time to implement a JSON parser myself. Also, some tools that I use to generate nice reports (e.g. Tableau Software) prefer input to be something easily readable and widely available, such as XLS format.
I've added a feature to generate CSV (
http://wot.ctocopok.ru/ is a better option for that through), it'll give easier access to apply spreadsheet software. Adding charts is obviously a clear to-do for the future.
Generating reports would be nice, having CSV available, anyone can to that locally. From the web-side, this could work by having a template document (in XML) that is filled with dossier data and linked for the user to download.

What I found is a library that enables JSON-to-XLS conversion. it's located
here. Would there be a chance for you to implement the "download as XLS" functionality? I can pick up raw data from there and develop a nice VBA script that would generate well-looking reports for everyone to see.
JSON is a tree-based format, so not every document is suitable to be transformed into a flat table. Generating CSVs is easy; hopefully, it will give you something usefull to experiment with, if you wish.

It'd be nice to have the ability to update your dossier, rather than having to create a new dossier each time you want to upload the latest data file. So far I've created six dossiers, and not only do I feel guilty about polluting the site with out of date data, but it's mildly annoying that I have to create a new bookmark to the new dossier page each time. Seems like it should be rather easy to incorporate the ability to upload a new file to the existing dossier.
Dossiers take little space and the oldest one can be deleted, but bookmarking is a good argument, so I've added it.

If such an ability were enabled, another benefit might be the ability to easily compare the before/after dossiers to gauge your progress, perhaps with highlighted cells (green cell would indicate improvement/addition, red cell would mean decrease).
Yes, that would be a nice feature for the future.

And a question: why is the tool strictly web-based? A standalone executable would be even better. I only have a general understanding of programming, so my guess would be that you don't speak the right language to code Windows programs? But wait, I thought this was coded in Java--shouldn't you be able to port that with ease?
Desktop apps are a thing of the past
http://prism.mozillalabs.com/ could give a more desktop look. Also it's written in Python

But yes, a desktop app would be more personalized and have the advantage to constantly monitor the file without the need to manually reuploading it. Anyone who's willing can develop it, in fact they can use
http://wot-dossier.a...dossier-to-json (from
http://wot-dossier.a...pspot.com/#!faq ) for prototyping it.

Just wondering if it would be possible to make the left (or right) column hoover in the 'Frag Counts' screen ?
This way if you side scroll with the bar on top to scroll through the different tanks you destroyed you can still see with what tank you destroyed them with. (At the moment you can only see it of the most left and most right destroyed tanks)
Maybe also possible to put a number in the square you use to change the 'Minimum fragged tank tier' ? So if you scroll it left or right the number in the square you drag will show the tier you are currently on ?
I've tried a few options, fixing of the column works by gutting the table's structure, so the sorting plugin does not apply easily. I do not think redeveloping and combining the two would an efficient use of time, so I've added better filtering options to select the columns you wish to see. Hopefully that should be less of a pain to use.
