I wish the WOT dev team would approve this or not... one way or the other.

JUst good to know when you have support for a 3rd party project as a 3rd party supporter of the game (good coding) and to have there support that it is safe or not and so peeps know what-is-what.


Personally I've took the gamble... but then again i'm low tier so nothing much to lose.

How do I get the XVM mod to show the following:
to show the name of the player with the name of the tank and helt bar?

Press ALT ingame ... ^^ You cann see the tankname normal and with ALT you can see the playername. Like the normal original WOT OverTargetMarker

One of the recent upgrades changed the coloring of the win ratio (alt pressed) from efficiency based to win ratio based.
How to change it back ?

Use old config file is the easiest way :D

Sorry if this has been already asked but i don't want to go through all the pages:

There was a new efficiency rating formula announced a while back. I used the ER calculator to see my new rating but XVM still shows the old values. Do i have to update some config file or is this not yet implemented?

edit: I am using 2.4.1

The eff. formula v2 is still in beta. The XVM devs are not sure if they can use it with XVM, they said

"And this formula will increase proxy CPU usage, because we need to analize each player's tank. This calculation can be too expensive for proxy server."

So its not sure if or when they will use it with XVM.

How do I get the XVM mod to show the following:
to show the name of the player with the name of the tank and helt bar?
how to do that in xvm conf file?
if anyone knows to do this in the configuration file!
pliz help!

thx in advance.

This is simply wrong advice. :-)

You don't have to uninstall anything... Just go to the file explorer, click wot-folder and properties and take security tab. Make sure that the privileges are ok and then just start again. It should work.

Works on Windows 7, 64-bit.

if anyone wants a solution np contact me and I will help.

This explains why I, in particular among the Blackhorse, suddenly began to get hammered very early in Random Battles ...

Nice lay-out. (+1) to PH3NOM3NAL.

I like the mod, but the efficiency rating always has- and always will be- jacked up.

It's okay on the cap and defending, but the heavy influence of damage and similar has an obvious bias to the heavier tiers- with no way to account for the tier battle you're playing in, just the damage you do.

The single tank I've played most in is the Churchill, a tier 5 tank. What are the odds that I'll do as much damage in that as my ST-I? Not very likely.

But the win rate and games played are usually good for spotting the terrible players, if not that good at picking out the best from the good.

Actually, you are wrong. The damage done is weighted by average tier.
While it's easier to do raw damage at high tier, you also need a lot more damage for the same efficiency.
IMO there are worse flaws, like for example all slow tanks are more prone to low efficiency, because usually they won't spot much in a battle.

biggest flaw every efficency-rating will always have: It cant take one of the most crucial factors into account: the MATCHMAKER. It makes a hell of a difference if you are in the top tiers for most matches or in the lowest.
friend of mine has done 24 battles with his VK3001H, 20 of them involved tier8 tanks, 14 of these matches at least 4 of those (he started to count after being in the lowest tier in his first 5 matches ;)).9 matches  won, 15 lost, so above all he not only was completely outclassed most of the time, he also was placed in the team which was bound to lose regardless of his own skill (a tier6 medium without the 8,8cm will rarely have any influence in such matches). And no, he is not a noob, in his PzIV he´s a real killer, and the other mediums up to the E-50 have decent stats, including the other 2 german tier6 tanks (for the book, his efficency is well over 1400).
Sure, thats an extreme case of bad luck, but in the long run, MM is one of the most influencial variables concerning efficency. Playing with the right tank on the right map in the right team is definitely more important than say your longrange aiming skills (helps nothing if you hit but cant damage, and hitting a weakspot at range depends on some luck). This is especially true for tier3 to tier7, where you are bound to engage tanks you can barely hurt at all, while they can oneshot you. Tier8 and 9 are less effected, since those usually have guns that can hurt almost everything, and with tier 10 the effect is almost negligible, since you are always toptier

i just see an red medal, or a blue medal at some player's vehicle icon, is that some new version, or a bug?

Thats the clanlogo.

How do i take off the vehicle icons above them? The option in settings of game doesnt work and i cant find the command in the xvm file to change it !!!

You must find this

"vehicleIcon": {					// "Type of vehicle" icon (HT / MT / LT / TD / Arty)
			"visible": true,				  //   false - Disable

And change visible to false. In all sections of OVER-TARGET MARKERS zone.

Or you can download my config from first post if you want to see this.
