CLEAN- With things looking this great naturally, it's a wonder mods exist at all

When gamers think mods, they default to the many mod clients that exist across a number of popular games. While most are third party, World of Tanks developers have realized how important the modding community is to the game. As a result, they've created a place where you can find all the best mods as supported by the community.

This place is the official mod hub of World of Tanks, which you can find here.

The mod hub seperates mods into categories like damage panels, modpacks, skins and more. It also allows for ratings to ensure the cream rises to the top.

To download World of Tanks mods, simply go to the mod hub linked above, and go to the mod you want to get. Each mod page will include installation instructions, some will feature installers to simplify the process, while others will provide instructions.

For nearly every World of Tanks mod, you'll simply have to download, then place it in your mods folder under the current version of the game (as of the time of this writing, that would be the 1.9.0.2 folder). Once you've done this, restart your game and everything should work just fine.

If you find any issues, most mod creators have support to help, and there are also plenty of videos on the topic if you're feeling lost.
