The well-known Sword Damkol sight from AleksLee was developed by the author for all three aiming modes - arcade, sniper and strategic (art mode). There are more and less comfortable sights for tanks and tank destroyers, but the sword of Damocles for the art mode is possibly the best option sight.

Despite the widespread opinion about the simplicity of playing the art, the owner of the artillery for effective shooting needs to take into account more aiming parameters than is necessary for other types of equipment. In addition, it is important to choose the right shooting position and change it in time, as well as know the tactics and options for the development of events for all maps. In such conditions, the slightest mistake reduces the usefulness of the art-sau, who is very dependent on the team, to zero.

The sword of Damocles in art mode shows the maximum information necessary for aiming.

In the center:

  • The circle of the radius of the scattering of fragments (splash) around the central marker - small circles of white and green in the screenshot
  • Red lead circle when reversing the target
  • Large green lead circle when moving the target forward
  • The level of the remaining HP points of your tank as a percentage - at the top, on the green lead circle

Top left:

  • The elevation angle of the gun and the angle of entry of the projectile into the armor at the aiming point (green numbers)
  • Projectile flight time at aiming distance - large bluish-white numbers
  • Distance to the target and maximum firing distance - yellow and red numbers to the right of the projectile flight time indicator

At the top right is information about the target:

  • Combat vehicle name
  • Forward speed (green)
  • Backward speed (red)

Bottom right:

  • Your artillery model (Sexton 1 in the screenshot)
  • Remaining recharge time timer (large red numbers)
  • Reload time (small blue numbers)
  • The number of shells in the ammunition load (bluish-white numbers to the right of the reload time). The number of shells in the drum is also indicated here, if your art has one.
  • Projectile type
  • The number of remaining health points

This small collection will give the tanker more than a dozen different information that is very popular with the players.

Although the developers regularly integrate various modmaker solutions into the game, many aspects are still not very convenient. For example, mixing in all aiming modes. Firstly, it is not integral, which sometimes interferes, and secondly green color it often merges with the surrounding area of ​​the map, and in general it cannot be called particularly beautiful. In addition, it does not have a full-fledged penetration indicator, there is only a marker, by the colors of which you can roughly determine the thickness of the enemy's defense at a specified point. Changing the mix is ​​not a problem, after downloading this collection you can choose one of the options to your taste. The author of the modpack has selected only the best and long-proven works of modmakers. For example, there is the well-known OverCross, which he uses, mixing from Jimbo, as well as a choice of artisans - Sword of Damocles... And this is just the beginning!

In addition to the penetration indicator, part of the information received a text indicator, which, when aiming at the target, shows the message "Thin - 80mm" (example). Now you do not need to be guided by the color, if we see the inscription "thin", boldly give the order to fire. But be sure to take into account the angle at which the projectile enters the target, this is a very important point.

Aiming in World of Tanks is almost the main and most important thing in the game, it is hardly possible to disagree with this. Try fixing your classic in-game scope with a different, more modern and different color, in this case blue.

Blue mixing for World of Tanks

Previously, we have already observed changes in scopes for ART or other types of equipment, but no one dared to change the color of the aim and not touch the interface before. Blue is most noticeable on different backgrounds and terrain, compared to green. The best options for the appearance of these scopes and information are provided here. Better, in my opinion and the opinion of the players, can not be found. The information is famous for its simplicity and will not at all affect the normal operation and aiming of the tank in general.

There is an additional reload animation, as well as a penetration indicator that will flash like a bullet.

Breakout indicator

In addition to the sight, an indicator modification will be installed. If you hit and pierced the opponent's armor, the bullet tip on the indicator will be colored green, if slightly touched - orange, if the penetration failed - red.

Description

We present to you the best art sight, which is on this moment generally exists in our game World of Tanks. This is unique mod for artillery called Battle Assistant for WOT 1.6.0.7, which has a semi-sniper, semi-artillery aiming mode. Including this mod, you can throw projectiles and at the same time look from the side at enemy tank and see the real trajectory of the projectile. That is, the player with his help can see for sure whether he can get into the enemy's tank or not. With him, it is easier to target the enemy behind houses, behind hills, and in general it becomes easier to understand the trajectory of a flying projectile. The scope is just perfect for precision art, where the spread is not very large (for example, for Object 261 or any French art). It helps not to hit the screens, the harp, and anywhere, namely target those places where you want to close up the projectile to the enemy. Experienced art experts highly praise and recommend this mod, they say that they used to bend it, and with it they began to bend it even better. This mod is not banned, administration World games of Tanks knows about him. Moreover, this mod took first place in the nomination " Best modification games "in a competition from the developers of Wargaming called" WGDC ​​". This is a completely legal mod for artillery. ...

To turn on the art sight Battle Assistant go to artillery sight and press the "J" key or the mouse wheel.

Screenshots

What happens when you press the ALT key while firing?

Module "Useful Expert"

For his work, you need a crew member with a pumped Expert perk. As a result, the perk will be automatically triggered within a few seconds after firing or marking the enemy with the command "support with fire".

Module "Spotting fire"

This is a very cool thing. When playing with artillery, each player had cases when, when the shot button was pressed, the enemy disappeared from the light, as a result, the sight was lost and the projectile flew away where it was not necessary. With this module, you will not have such problems, because it will clearly, in automatic mode, fix the sight after the enemy disappears from the light. This will save you nerves.

Complex mod of the game interface from MeltyMap is known for its original appearance and a large amount of information displayed in the sight. It is useful to know everything about the enemy and the capabilities of your combat vehicle, but a large number of different interface elements are not always convenient or unusual, or simply unnecessary in some cases. If you only need to change the sight interface in art mode, there is a separate mod for the MeltyMap sight in art mode.

Specialized mods for artillery are not so common, so each deserves special attention, especially if it is a bright and informative blue MeltyMap sight. The mod has the following useful features:

  • Displays the distance and the approximate flight time of the projectile from the shot to contact with the target. The values ​​of these parameters are displayed at the top left of the aiming point. The projectile flight time is calculated based on the weapon and the projectile that is currently being used. Those. for each art, the projectile flight time is calculated individually.
  • At the top right of the aiming point, the blue MeltyMap art sight shows the model of the cannon and the type of projectile loaded into it.
  • The tool elevation angle informer is located next to the implement model. It helps to understand the nature of the trajectory of the projectile, which is important for the correct lead, the choice of the aiming point of the gun on the tank or next to it.
  • Below the informer of the elevation angle is an indicator of the expected angle of entry of the projectile into the enemy's armor. For landmines, this is not so important, since they inflict damage almost always, but a successful hit on the roof of the stern or turret of a tank can lead to its complete destruction and therefore this possibility should not be neglected.
  • Below the central aiming point is a reload timer in seconds and an indicator of the number of shells remaining.
  • The mix has been repainted compared to the standard and added with a blue circle MeltyMap.
  • Last but not least, the function is the display of angles horizontal guidance in the form of a thick translucent line showing where your SPG is running out of scope to move the sight by moving the gun and it becomes necessary to turn the body.

Installs strategic sight from MeltyMap by copying the gui and scripts folders from the archive to standard folder for mods res_mods \ game_version in root World directory of Tanks.
