Back by popular demand, my ERC Lynx 6x6 remodel has been updated to work in WoT 1.18. The visual model itself remains the same, but a number of technical updates/fixes have been implemented.

Both vehicles now feature German star antennae (of a slightly different design from the original, but still a Sternantenna nonetheless).

These are now a part of the pack, and can be downloaded here:

That's right -- for the first time since I started updating the sound mod, new gun sounds are coming!

With the help of Shimada_Sama (who has also graciously provided some of the new gun sounds for this update), Zorgane, and documentation on the WoT/KoreanRandom forums/wwise's website, some new sounds will finally be coming to the mod!

The first set, previewed above, includes a mix of brand-new sounds and some sounds returning from Gnomefather's original HRMOD. With the exception of the new .50-cal sound, these will NOT outright-replace any of the existing sounds from Zorgane's original mod -- rather, they will be used to bring more variety.

If all goes to plan, this update is set to arrive in late August/early September, close to (if not aligned with) the release of WoT 1.18.0.0. Stay tuned for further updates!

Please note -- the sounds in the above video are work-in-progress and may be subject to change. Notably, the 100 mm sound used on the CS-44 has been made louder since that clip was recorded.

Wow, would you look at that -- it really is 2022 already. I hope all of you were able to enjoy the holiday season this year.
With that, there's no time like the present for some new mod releases!

Why the split?

The more complex remodels have been separated from the much larger set of simple models (the ones which simply add a machine gun and nothing else), for a number of reasons:

• For smaller filesize/ease of downloading;
• To allow me to focus more on the newer, more feature-rich Dakka-Plus-style content without having to continually re-upload the main pack (as this is both time-consuming and uses quite a lot of excess bandwidth);
• To avoid the issue of newer content - which features more equipment than the original set of models + takes quite a lot more effort to make - getting lost amongst the sheer volume of older vehicles. (This was already becoming noticeable as recently as Update 7.0);
• Likewise, to allow for the newer content to be easier to find/download. A product of the above issue was that if someone wanted a specific model from the pack - say, the Jagdtiger with additional equipment - they would have to download the entire almost-a-full-gigabyte-large pack just to get it, which was far from ideal.
