Many beginners and experienced players have in their arsenal a variety of programs for world of tanks. And this is very correct, because additional software never hurts, but, on the contrary, in some cases it will turn out to be very useful. At the moment there are a large number of programs for. All of them are designed to solve specific problems. Let's give a simple example: you decided to install something, but you don’t know how to do it. In this case, you can simply find a suitable program and use it to install all the necessary add-ons with a couple of mouse clicks. Even if you are an ardent supporter of the standard version of the game, that is, you do not want to change anything in it, you may need the help of third-party programs.
Thus, the programs can serve any player well and become true friends on the battlefield. All existing additional software can be divided into several categories:
- Firstly, these are programs with which players gain access to game client files. They will allow you to make any changes, the main thing is to understand everything thoroughly.
- Secondly, these are programs with which you can easily install any additional content and manage it in the future. That is, turn it on and off at any time. Additional content includes various mods, textures, sights, icons and “skins” for tank models. You can create entire collections and manage them using special software.

- Fourthly, these are programs that provide various information about game objects, maps, tank models, and most importantly about the players. They allow you to study the strengths and weaknesses of your opponents in great detail.
Of course, some of the existing programs may stop working after updating the game client, but, as a rule, their creators monitor this and try to immediately make all the necessary changes so that players can continue to use their work comfortably. Usually the creators of additional software are well acquainted with the game, since they themselves are big fans of it. Often they write programs for themselves, but then decide to share it with everyone, so you should not be afraid that downloaded programs will cause you any harm. All of them are created for players and many have already convinced themselves of this.
wottools is a program that performs a single, but extremely important function. It allows you to make changes to the engine_config.xml file, which contains the World Of Tanks game configuration parameters. Also, purely theoretically, the utility is suitable for editing the “configs” of other games from Wargaming that use the same engine - World of Warplanes and World of Warships. But we will consider it as an application to increase FPS in WoT.
Purpose
Most often, wottools are used to unblock artificial frame rate limitation. By default, World Of Tanks cannot “show” more than 120 FPS, which may be somewhat disturbing for owners of powerful computers. In addition, WoT without editing “configs” does not allow you to unlock the full potential of modern gaming monitors with high Hertz (144 Hertz or higher). So, to remove the limit, you just need to edit one line in the XML file and save it.
Usage
After launching wottools, press the "Open" button. After that, open the folder with the installed game, go to the "RES" directory and look for the engine_config.xml file there. Attention! We strongly recommend that you save the original engine_config.xml so that you do not have to reinstall the game after making “extra” changes. Once you open the configuration file in wottools, you can edit it in the future using regular notepad. In particular, we are interested in the string "maxFrameRate". The value “120” in it must be replaced with “200”. After this, the frame rate limit will “fall”. The only drawback of this method is that it can lead to bugs in the game. In particular, users note problems with texture display. However, in the new version there are not too many such bugs.
Key Features
- designed for “unpacking” and further editing XML files;
- help increase FPS in World Of Tanks;
- makes it possible to make other changes to the “config”;
- has a simple and intuitive interface;
- available completely free of charge.
