The development tree is part of the World of Tanks hangar interface, designed for researching combat vehicles of different nations. We present to your attention a mod that stylizes the appearance of the “Research” tab to resemble early versions of the game.
In the development tree of the latest versions of World of Tanks, research goes from left to right. All nations, except for the relatively recently introduced “Japanese” and “Chinese”, have a large amount of researchable equipment. This is not a problem since the tree can be scrolled horizontally. At the same time, the continuity of research chains is preserved and the development tree clearly shows in what sequence it is necessary to move from the first levels to the tops.
In earlier versions, the development tree was vertical. The first level vehicle was placed on top and further down the level and number of tanks increased. The Soviet development branch once looked something like the Chinese one in the screenshot below:
Here it becomes clear why the transition to a horizontal structure occurred. If for a small number of tanks the vertical arrangement is quite clear, then as the number grows, such a development tree ceases to be convenient and informative. This is clearly seen in the example of a modern German branch in a vertical arrangement:
The vertical development tree should appeal to old-timers of the game who registered their accounts many years ago and saw early versions, or to those who are tired of the standard interface and want to change something in the hangar.
Description
- one of the very old modifications of the WoT game client, which is popular with both new players and even more so with old-timers of the game even today, and at the same time does not relate to the combat interface, but to the operation of the hangar.
Perhaps someone remembers when the technology research section looked exactly like this without any modifications. This was many years ago, after which Wargaming decided to change it to horizontal for greater convenience. However, many players did not like this solution and they still, due to their preferences or feelings of nostalgia, install the presented mod in new versions of the client.
In general, it is difficult to answer which type is preferable for viewing vehicle research trees and this is rather a matter of taste, however, it should be noted that premium equipment is conveniently located in this modification - it is not confused among the researched ones, but is placed down in a separate line for each nation. This will allow you to easily and pleasantly choose equipment for purchase or compare premium tanks with each other by price or characteristics.
Two hangar options are available to the user - with the mentioned line of premium equipment or without displaying premium equipment, to choose from.

In the WoT tank simulator, the technology development branches were vertical a couple of years ago, but then they became horizontal. Many players are already accustomed to the old option and do not want to give it up. This is why the presented mod was created, changing the structure of the development tree.
Like the list of others for the game, this one is in quite high demand among gamers. It is present in many modpacks and has long proven itself. Install this mod and enjoy the usual development branches.
Development tree mod download
It is worth saying that the modification is presented in two different variations. After downloading and launching the file, you can choose a vertical development tree with or without premium tanks. If you don’t need premium equipment, then you can safely use the second option. In this case, the tree will be a little more compact and convenient.
To install the old development tree in World of Tanks, you will need to download the archive, unpack it anywhere, open the JBVT file and then follow the instructions. After installation, you can start the simulator. Now the development branches will be arranged vertically. The mod will appeal to many game fans.
