“Secret” Tank in Halloween Garage

Hello everyone,

thanks to Mattbrix02 for this one. Now, Mattbrix is using Aslain’s mod, that permanently enables the tank silhouette, no matter whether the target is behind an obstacle or not. In my opinion this mod is not that useful, but whatever. When looking at the Halloween garage, he noticed a strange thing: there seems to be an unknown tank buried under the Halloween hangar. It can be noticed because of the said mod (its silhouette is visible). Hmm, I wonder what kind of tank it is…

  1. I used to have such a tank on every single map, buried in the deep..
    Must be either really shit or too damn OP for this world :D

  2. From the silhouette it looks like a short tank with a round short turret, my guess is a russian medium. Possibly the Obj. 907 or something?

  3. The most important piece of information in this article: there is a mod that permanently enables the tank silhouette.

      • I know some that claims to have been banned for it. IIRC its on the banned mod list on NA on RU in the post they made about mods. But on EU. Who knows with that silly post about mods they wrote. According to that, even XVM’s map mods is illegal.

  4. With the new Patch, Locastan’s silhouette mod has been dumping tons of spurious silhouettes on every map. In every case they’re completely harmless (Aside from the feelings of scores of elder tanks arranged in a mythic RNG Council in the Sky), but no ‘actual models’ exist in those locations.

    All you’re seeing is the Silhouette grabbed from the game database files. Nothing more.

  5. I have a similar screenshot but during a battle. I saw the tank during the countdown and it did not disappeared even after the battle started. It should be either a mod bug or a WoT one.

    • aslains mod used a lot of “banned” mods before (but there slowly going away, e.g: reload timer mod)

      • Locastan’s mod shows only silhouette of friendly tanks, not enemy and that is not banned. However there are “fishy mods” that enable permanently enemy’s silhouettes. I myself don’t use locastans because i find it useless.

  6. to me this look like a t-44 with its turret rotated to the side a little or an object 907 both of those have those little bags on the turret

  7. Just a guess here: Could it be a modelled tank for a garage not being used atm but for simplicity, devs just dragged it under ground to keep it there for future use ? I use to do that kind of stuff in photoshop when creating multi campaign publicity, as a bad habit, instead of setting the layer to invisible, I would just drag it out of the viewable zone then bring it back when necessary. ( very bad habit, people use to whine at me for it:) )

    oh and btw, I have i cheap pc but usually garage work fine, but during that halloween garage, my caroussel was scrooling very slowly, maybe because of some useless crap laying out of view ?

  8. Try out the mod with Hellinger’s minimal garage.

    I was getting three to four random tank silhouettes after a few battles just randomly scattered about, and eventually my garage broke entirely and I couldn’t do anything.

    This was of course a few days ago when the Halloween hangar was still in place, so maybe it isn’t excessively bad anymore.

  10. that most likely is one of the tanks that are in game you fought in the last battle and survived as that mod shows the outlines of tanks behind cover its just the last map you played on… dont really know why WG did that but it just loads the last bit of the battle you thort last with the positions of the tanks on it below or above the player hangar, had the same when i was using that mod but above the hangar and it changes with every game. im un shore if it is yours tanks or an enemy one.

  11. Lol, I uninstalled the mod because I thought it was glitching, there were random tanks everywhere

  12. Wasn’t there just an issue with WOW where a developer put a hidden item in a lighthouse and it ate up all the frame rate? They took it out and the game ran better. Sounds like the same guy…

  13. I’m guessing this is another sabotage attempt, like that 1 million polygon duck in the bathtub in a house in WOWS :P

    I’m guessing that tank under the garage has at least 100K polygons.

  14. I’ve see this with a Maus, 268, 50B. I think another but can’t remember. I have the screen shots. Figured it was just a glitch with my client. Himmelsdorf has the Maus. can’t remember the others besides the garage.

  15. Lookes like its a russian or chinese tank

    maybe Type 59 since people always want to have one in their garage xD
