Releases

NEWEST FIRST
1.0.2 FEATURE RELEASE
Current

Adds the situation awareness panel: a bearing ring around your hull that marks every spotted enemy and colours it by whether it can see you, and whether it is aiming at you.

1.0.1 SECURITY UPDATE

Security update, and full support for the World of Tanks 2.4 client. No change to what the overlays draw or how the mod is installed.

1.0.0 INITIAL RELEASE

First public build of Strelok for World of Tanks client 2.3.1 and newer. Every overlay and in-battle feature listed below ships in this release — nothing is staged behind a later update.

In-battle overlays

  • Weak-point aimbot and auto-fire — the reticle evaluates visible armour, shell type, penetration, impact angle, distance and dispersion, then releases the shot at the optimal moment.
  • Grey and purple enemy outlines — spotted enemies stay outlined behind cover and terrain; the target under your crosshair turns purple.
  • SPG balloon and crushed-object marker — a balloon over the area an enemy SPG is firing from, and a green arrow on any destructible object just crushed.
  • Enemy aim-warning laser — a line from the gun of any enemy aiming at you to its current aim point.
  • Artillery trajectories and stun — incoming arcs and impact ranges as they approach, with a crew-stun countdown and damage indicator.
  • Reload indicator — reload state on any enemy that recently fired, including autoloaders and twin-barrelled tanks.
  • Full mini-map awareness — named contacts for spotted and last-known enemies, view and draw-distance circles, bearing lines and crushed-object marks.
  • Blind-hit warning — immediate notice when your shot damages an unspotted enemy.
  • Ally watching indicator — tells you when a knocked-out teammate is spectating your vehicle.

Also in the build

  • Hide vegetation — switched independently for Arcade and Sniper view.
  • Automatic-gun overheat protection — on heat-dissipating guns such as the Ares 85, auto-fire stops one shot before overheating, unless the last shot can kill.
  • Automatic fire extinguisher — the small extinguisher triggers the moment a fire starts.
  • Telemetry and tracing protection — limits non-essential telemetry and tracing around your mods and gameplay.

Compatibility

  • Client — World of Tanks 2.3.1 and newer, in Random, Ranked and Training battles.
  • Servers — US, EU, ASIA and CN.
  • Display — full HDR support.
  • Other mods — installs alongside existing mods and mod packs.

Staying current

Strelok is versioned MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. A patch release fixes behaviour without changing what the overlays do, a minor release adds a feature or an option, and a major release changes how the mod is installed or configured.

There is no separate updater to install: the download page always serves the current build, so running the newest Strelok.exe brings an existing installation up to date.
