v1.4 Update has been released and has overhauled the mod significantly.
– Fog/bloom/glare have been modified (reduced) across all maps to improve overall visibility
– Lighting/colour correction has been modified on most maps as well, including full on replacing them in some cases. The appearance of most maps should be similar to before but some maps have been redone completely
– As I’m limited by character limit, for more information please see my threads on WoTCord or WoT Infocord
Like the original Revamped Skies, this mod includes changes to almost all available maps in the game, reworking map ambience and altering the skyboxes to give each map a new feel to it: this does NOT include event maps/hangars and will not. This includes:
– the default Hangar
– all 44 Random Battle maps
– all 3 Frontline maps
Here is an Imgur album showing a preview for every map: https://imgur.com/a/wot-revamped-skies-volume-2-mod-preview-RYMHj24
If you like the mod, try checking out my other skybox mods:

If you are unsure which mod to use, or just like variety, I recommend trying out this mod: Skybox Randomizer https://wgmods.net/7494/
I must include some “issues” for transparency:
– Reflective surfaces (notably water) still mostly reflect the ORIGINAL map appearance. This can look funny but should be for the most part irrelevant
– Ambient map effects such as Airfield’s offshore lightning still happen despite the different settings and might look silly, but not something I could fix so you’ll have to ignore it
– like Himmelsdorf in the original Revamped Skies, (small) Ensk seems to have a lighting issue that requires you to enter sniper mode to make the map use the correct lighting. I have no idea why this happens or how to actually fix it, but yeah, just entering sniper mode will correct it
– While not necessarily an issue I want to make sure you’re aware that altering the feel of the map can potentially lead to some disorientation. Again I apologise for this in advance
– Since this has been a constant issue: do not try to run this alongside any other sky-related mod, including the other version within the mod. It WILL cause conflicts as the game tries to load both mods
As a final note, this mod is NOT intended as a replacement for the original Revamped Skies mod, but simply an alternate take on every map. You can comfortably continue using the original mod if you aren’t a fan of this one, or change between the two to try to make the game feel a bit more fresh.
