Old (Pre-9.0) Hangars for World of Tanks

Hello everyone,

annoyed by the new 9.0 hangar and the fact that it puts more strain on the graphic card than the battle itself in some cases? Well, fear not, a solution exists:

Old garage mod. The lighting is a bit off (kinda ugly), but there is a significant decrease in load and increase in FPS. Thanks to Saša Dordevski for linking it to me.

Or do you want to get even more fundamentalistic? There’s the “Hell Minimal Garage Mod” from Russian forums.

You can download it from here (thanks to Silviu Busca for linking it).

  1. Now, it’s time for HD tanks’ kick-out.

    Seriously, the person who will delete them from game with a mod is a demigod :D

      • Cause he thinks modders have unlimited amount of time to waste as soon as he calls them a “demigod”.

        • Well, if I could mod them myself I would. Seriously, they’re nothing but some useless load on the graphics card of my computer.

  2. Thanks so much, I’ve been hating on the stock garage since 9.0 hit. Hells Garage is the answer to a prayer!

  4. I’ve been using Hell Minimal Garage Mod in 8.11 and i really liked it. Now in 9.0 i don’t really mind that garage is stressing GPU too much and kind of like the 9.0 garages(both prem and standard), but i might install the Hell’s garage again now that you mentioned it.

  5. To be honest, Hell Minimal Garage is the best – I like this kind of minimal stuff. And an added bonus it’s less stresfull on the GPU :D

    On the forum link towards the end there is a version with pavement that looks a lot better than the default one and he did a tutorial on how to add your own textures if you want.

  6. I’m confused. The HD models don’t add much to the load on your computer. Put it this way, I’m running WoT on custom settings on a three year old HP Pavilion. 40 FPS, not a problem. as high as 70 – map dependent… As far as I can tell, the difference in polygon count has very little effect on your graphics card, it’s the processor that slows down your performance, along with hard drive speeds, RAM, etc. For me, HD models are awesome, they work well and don’t lag my computer, unlike Ruinberg on Fire… it’s texture loading that’s the problem…and someone feel free to correct me, I’m not an expert on computers.

    • You are correct, they don’t stress your PC, per se. What they do seem to be doing, is causing a large number of the CTD people are experiencing. In addition they don’t bring that much to the table, and coupled with the other problems 9.0 has brought, it would be nice to remove them entirely.
      Also, the default 9.0 garage brings temperatures of the video card soaring. I *drop* 20 degrees (Celsius) going to battle, from the garage.

    • Ya most people are terrible at computers so they just automatically think:
      9.0 crashing and having FPS problems(For some people and will happen even withOUT any HD tanks being rendered anywhere on map or even in the battle), 9.0 added HD tanks. HD TANKS CAUSE FPS PROBLEMS WG NEED REMOVE HD TANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      If HD tanks were causing the FPS problems WG would have already been able to figure it out as they would be able to check and see FPS plummeting as soon as HD models are being rendered when they run debugs. But its not happening like this. The FPS drops aren’t related to HD. They happen too randomly. People with top line computers can get FPS drops with no HD in battle. Or with HD in battle. People with bottom computers can get FPS drops with HD in battle and without HD in battle. You could have two players with the exact same computer both looking at a HD tank an only one of them gets an FPS drop.

      The crash to desktop however appears to be related to HD tanks as people report swapping to standard graphics fixing it. The crashes aren’t because HD tanks are adding too much load but instead something in the coding related to them is just going crazy and crashes the game. That one is simply improper coding rather than the HD being load intensive.

      • Even on standard render, HD tanks are still HD (believe me, I have to switch to standard render because of significant FPS drop) so the problem should be somewhere else in improved render…

  7. Thnx SS, now my garage is quieter than mouse in a hole hiding :-) , minimalistic works nice.

  8. Hey some1 know if can download some BatCave Garage?
    like must of twitch Streamers using? Thanks!

  9. The Hell Minimal Garage Mod really helped me a lot. not only my GPU is less stressed but my cursor is not “slugish” anymore, now it moves immediately just like on desktop. And I think this mod looks cool with all that blackness.

  10. Can you tell me how I can find those black tank skins from the second picture, ive seen different tanks with this skin set and wondering can anyone guide me to skin pack or name how to locate these skins online.
