DISCLAIMER YOU ARE DOING ALL THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. I’M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT MIGHT HAPPEN, UNLESS IT WORKS THAN YOU CAN SAY THANK YOU
You can play around with different (mostly video) settings in the file preferences.xml
You can find the file at following location:
– for Windows Vista or Windows 7 (C:UsersUser nameAppDataRoamingwargaming.netWorldOfTanks)
– for Windows XP (C:Documents and SettingsAdminApplication Datawargaming.netWorldOfTanks)
You can edit it with Notepad
Turn on/off FPS and ping on the screen: false – off, true – on
false
SKY_LIGHT_MAP, shadows from the clouds. 0 – on. 1- off. Default setting – off.
MRT_DEPTH, special rendering with use of depth buffer. 0 – on. 1- off. Might increase fps on new video cards. Default setting – off. Requires client reboot.
SHADER_VERSION_CAP. shader version: 0 – 3, 1 – 2. Default = 0.
TEXTURE_QUALITY. : 0 – max, 1 – medium, 2 – minimal. This setting puts the most strain on the used system and video memories.

WATER_QUALITY. : from 0 – high to 3 – very low.
FAR_PLANE. Rendering depth (how far you can see): from 0 – the farthest to 2 – 50% from max. (I’d keep it at 0 unless you video car really sucks)
FLORA_DENSITY. grass density: от 0 – max, to 4 – no grass at all.
OBJECT_LOD. details on objects: 0 – max, to 2 – low lever of details will turn on at close distance.
Window mode:

and change the corresponding values.

tripleBuffering:
false – off, true – on

0.000000 – off, 1.000000 on on medium lvl

This is a Field of View fix. (If your game appears stretched or squashed)
1. Find your preferences.xml
2. Edit the line
1.250000 based on one of the following:
If your using a 16:10 resolution (1440×900, 1920×1200, etc) set it to 1.600000
If your using a 16:9 resolution (1280, 720, 1920×1080, etc) set it to 1.778000
If your using a 4:3 resolution (1024×768, 1600×1200, etc) set it to 1.333000
If your using a 5:4 resolution, then you are weird. But set it to 1.250000
3. Save, and right click on preferences.xml, select preferences.
4. Check [Read-Only] at the bottom and accept.
This will have the unfortunate side effect of not saving any of your in-game options if you change them after doing this fix. To allow changing of the options again, you’ll have to remove the [Read-Only] tag. But if you already have all your setting like you want them already, then your all set.
Note: Double and Triple monitor set ups will require a different aspect ratio, but I’m assuming that if you know enough to properly run double/triple-head, you know what aspect ratio you are running. Rule of thumb: Width divided by Height equals Ratio. (Example: 1440/900=1.6) This formula can be used for all resolutions, in case you don’t know what aspect ratio you are running.
The following are obsolete and not being supported as of right now:
FOOT_PRINTS
BUMPED_RENDERING
IMPORTANT: DO NOT GIVE YOUR FILE TO OTHER USERS. THIS FILE CONTAINS YOUR LOGIN AND PASSWORD!!!!
Also if you really need to boost FPS you can remove some file:
REMOVING CLOUDS:
Find the following folder WOT=>Res=>Maps=>Skyboxes and rename Skyboxes for example as Skyboxes2
REMOVING FIRE AND SMOKE FROM BURNING TANKS:
Find the following folder WOT=>Res=>particles=>Tank
Rename the files containing the following in their names
Explosion
Fire
Flaming
Add number 2 to the name (i.e. fire_12/fire_22/fire_32 etc.)
