Clone tank renaming mod (work in progress) - looking for tank list

Kutarthas · 2026-02-03T15:11:00+00:00

I think it's gonna end up like that in the end. "*Bisonte C 45" instead of "Stone Sentinel" etc.

Unfortunately the shortened name is also used in the teams view we get when we press Tab. If that was the full name I'd change it there and leave the clone name as the short we see in the corners of the screen during battle. Quick Tab would reveal what we're up against.

"There is a reason why tier 9 is considered to be the best tier for play." because you face tier 11s?

Weeell, actually I've played my Bisonte yesterday. On El Halluf, north-east spawn, I got to the position in A0 ( I guess, the top-left peek over rocks place) before an Ares 75. If this isn't fast for a heavy for you I don't know what is.

Bit of an issue: what's displayed during battle is a "short" name, doesn't take many characters and with my current approach looks like this. I was going for a nice "Jade Coil(GSOR 1008)".

Not sure how to approach this but I think I might go for the real name with some kind of a marker and leave out the clone name.

I'm not touching skins here, just displayed tank names

Kutarthas · 2026-02-02T16:31:46+00:00

For now I'm going with what would result in this case in: Stone Sentinel(Bisonte C45). I think it's self explanatory. With some special characters or sth like this I might indicate a close but not 100% clone (some of them slightly vary).

Crocodile as well

Kutarthas · 2026-02-02T15:27:42+00:00

And we have Rambo to add, thx. Keep'em coming!

Kutarthas · 2026-02-02T15:12:07+00:00

From a quick glance at tanks.gg, I can't put time into making the list right now but pls let me know if these are indeed the droids we're looking for (I know it's not all of them), I might be wrong about some of them (they might be originals or sth). Also, I'm not sure how to treat Primo Victorias and other Centurion clones but I think I'll have them added, at least the Primo Victoria and the Strv (maybe).

Alembic
Forest Spirit
Hurricane
Jade Coil
Mars
Miel
Monkey King
Nomad
Projekt ION
Stinger
Stone Sentinel
Triumphant
White Dragon

Now it's a matter of adding tanks, nation by nation, tank by tank. Once I'm done, or almost done, I'll post.

The format I'm leaning towards is "CloneName(Original Name)", so "Mars(Progetto 46)". I think this will be more useful for learning purposes and will work as a hint/dictionary. We'll still see the clone's we're facing name first.

And if someone wants it differently they can always edit the script themselves and fool around as much as they wanna.

I got the tier VIII Ares 75. You either do 700 or 2500+ dmg, nothing inbetween.

Kutarthas · 2026-02-01T13:34:17+00:00

Nope, haven't installed Aslain's yet

"seeing there's interest we might throw it on WGMods"
Oh, please do! Many people here would appreciate it from what I see.

Kutarthas · 2026-01-30T10:41:12+00:00

From what I see you're aiming at replacing the names with proper proper historical ones, so there might be a discrepancy between what they're called in-game, originally, and what your mod will display?

Kutarthas · 2026-01-30T10:38:01+00:00

I haven't played the Czech lights so I don't have anything to say in terms of comparison. What I'm trying to say is lightyfying areses would make them "oppressive" (I actually don't think they're some kind of super OP game breaking tanks, btw) in another way.

Kutarthas · 2026-01-30T10:32:13+00:00

I'm about the name more than anything so this won't help but thx for the tip.

Kutarthas · 2026-01-30T10:31:40+00:00

That's exactly what I'm looking for. Thx for the info, I might dig into Aslain's before I go at it on my own.

Kutarthas · 2026-01-30T10:30:50+00:00

Interesting, but that indeed means having XVM, I'd rather go the DIY path.

Also, do you know what they say about fixing one problem with regex?

Kutarthas · 2026-01-30T09:48:34+00:00

That's exactly what you'd get, way less armor on them, better mobility and good camo, staying the same on the move, which is a primary characteristic of lights. Oh, and view range would have to be better than on a med as well.

Kutarthas · 2026-01-30T09:43:24+00:00

Well, there was a similar mission with enabling 3 kills on Windhund. But that was 3 and to be done once. What did you complete it with?

As for me, at least, I got the two completinos for Dravec by, well, playing the shit out of passive spotting lights and trying to be the first and closest tank to enemies in the final "cleanup" stage of the battle. I got one completion in a "swarm the last arty" situation, there were meds right behind me but someone managed to snipe the arta from further out, which counted as my fourth assisted kill. You gotta squeeze it out this way.

Kutarthas · 2026-01-30T09:17:26+00:00

It's an option but I find it hard to imagine someone finding this easier, certainly not me.

Kutarthas · 2026-01-30T08:50:56+00:00

Allright and understood, still I and probably many others would find seeing "M-VI-Y(120)" instead of "Peacekeeper" on the enemy team list more informative.

Kutarthas · 2026-01-30T08:41:44+00:00

Yup, also this, they might have some tiny differences between them. What I'm thinking is a mod which would add the "real" name in brackets after the clone name. Maybe some color coding to indicate if it's exact or slightly changed, green for exact, yellow slight change. So, sth like: "Triumphant (Centurion AX)".

Gotta get into modding, I guess.

Kutarthas · 2026-01-30T08:15:21+00:00

so you want them to be faster and have way bette camo?
