Addendum: with additional testing I can comfortably say the mod runs fine on SD/HD Clients. However, even though 1.29.1 Removed minimum graphics, running the “Simplified” graphics option still loads various “forward” settings, meaning the mod will not work as intended using that setting.
While I could potentially modify this, I must admit that I have no interest in doing so. As such, unless you’re running the “Improved” graphics option I do not recommend using this mod
Like my previous Revamped Skies mods, 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 43 Random Battle maps
– all 3 Frontline maps
Here is an Imgur album showing a preview for every map:

If you like the mod, try checking out my other skybox mods:
– Revamped Skies Volume 1
– Revamped Skies Volume 2
– Aslain’s Night Sky Edit
If you are unsure which mod to use, or just like variety, I recommend trying out this mod: Skybox Randomizer
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 (the only real exception to this is Glacier Night where the ice being reflective affects the setting quite a bit. I’m still happy with the look of the map but I want to make sure you’re aware of this)
– 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
– Some maps feature rain as part of an experimental test. This reuses assets from the WT Game mode, as well as the probes folders taken from the Rainy Weather mod in Aslain’s, credit to Aslain/Pharaon for that. I have also reused some assets from my Aslain’s Night Sky Edit, so credit again to Aslain/Pharaon for those.
– 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: if you’re running this with any other skybox mod (namely No Fog/Sun Glare in Aslain’s), it WILL cause issues with the skybox. Do not try to run this alongside any other sky-related mod, or try to run both versions included at the same time
Again this mod is NOT intended as a replacement for the original Revamped Skies mod or the Volume 2 Version, but simply an additional rework of every map. You can comfortably swap between any of my Revamped Skies mod from time to time to change up the feel of the game.
Installation
To install drag or extract the included .wotmod file into your WoT Game files and place it in the [PATCH FOLDER] in “mods”. For example: C:GamesWorld_of_Tanksmods2.1.1.0[WOTMOD GOES HERE]
This mod should work fine even with new updates outside of new maps being added. Even with serious map redesigns it shouldn’t run into any problems. If you want to preview it without launching into an actual battle you can always use the Topography Mode to preview a number of maps.
