Thanks for that.  I think it might be related to the server disconnect issue.   Which one use found to be caused by a hard drive that wasn't used by WoT.  I can't disconnect drives just to play WoT though.  I will keep playing with it.

I was hoping there was a log file that would show the start of each mod.

PC and configuration hasn't change from before version 13, when it didn't take so long.  Yes, I have a lot of mods, but those are mostly the same as before 13.

And I do have the first four checked, to delete cache, logs, etc.  And I have tried a few redownloads, and changed some mods.

Thanks

Attached is the zip file.

Been running the latest version, but it has been happening since version 13.  I have a lot of mods.  Rather than try to disable them one by one, is there a log file that shows when a mod started after battle, and when the next one did?  That way I can find the one that took the longest time?

I am open to other suggestions on how to troubleshoot this.

Did Aslain clarify the aim direction on the mini-map?  I heard they meant you can't show aim direction of all tanks.  Just the ones that are being spotted by allies and they have line of site on.

What ever happened to the new installer he was testing a while back?

I have wished for this for a long time.  I really wish the mod pack had a search function that can be used to find things during install.  Would help me find new things or old things that I can't remember the sub-section of.

I know depending on your installer, that this might be a tall order.  But it could help others too, just search ZZZ, rather than look for the a section then hunt under it.

Yes, 3D hit skins are banned.  Best to learn common weak spots, like lower glacius, coppula, etc.  Also use a crosshair that changes color based on chance to pen, which includes the current armor angle.  If it is green it can pen, red it can't, and orange is a maybe.  Keep in mind that with RNG your shot may miss, or roll a high or low pen.  And for tanks you have trouble with, use the website tanks.gg to look at 3D models of the armor similar to the picture OP posted.

Would it be possible to flag autoloaders no matter which contour icons you choose?  Maybe a "A" next to them, or a star, or dot, etc?

Aslain added ATAC back in for the latest update.

It didn't always fail for me.  I didn't dig too deep, so I may be wrong, but it seemed to be connecting to an internet site.  Sometimes the internet would lag too much and it would time out, and lock up.

So while it worked most games, it wasn't worth the times when it locked up the game, causing me to restart and come in very late to the battle.  Often to a tank under fire, depending on the map.

If you really want it, you can install it yourself after you use the mod pack to install everything else.

Yep, it was the one crashing mine during battle loading.

Well, I searched to find all carousel.xc files in the world of tanks folders, and only the above two showed up.  I then verified that both files had the sorting_criteria with level first.  I then reopened WoT, did a filter to just show tier 7 and 8, and found the 7s and 8s were intermixed and not all 7s first.  I then verified the files were utf-8 encoded.  I have run out of ideas.  I can't think of any mistake I made nor anything else that might be over riding it.

I put it in my - G:\Games\World_of_Tanks\Aslain_Modpack\Custom_mods

I then downloaded the latest modpack, since it had been updated.  I ran the update, loaded the game and my tanks are still not ordered by level.  I am using XVM, as I pulled and edited the G:\Games\World_of_Tanks\res_mods\configs\xvm\Aslain\carousel.xc before sending it to you.

I then looked at the current G:\Games\World_of_Tanks\res_mods\configs\xvm\Aslain\carousel.xc file, and it does have the edit.  So I don't know why it isn't working.  It is like XVM is ignoring the file.

carousel.xc

Here is my carousel with just sort order changed.

I tried doing a custom mod about a year ago, in fact it was the edited order list suggested here.  Never got it to work, so gave up.  I don't know what I was doing wrong.  

I also wish this was an option.  I too platoon, and we alternate picking tiers.  I do use the filter to filter one tier, but I have to select the filter, select the new tier, and deselect the old tier, then close the filter.  And custom mods are hassle with the updates, so I never bothered.

Oh, he also added one that is similar to the images on the link, so maybe that is your request -  "added crosshair: Circle"  in the mod pack it is mispelled as "Cirle" though.

Actually this one looks busier than many others that are available.  Have you tried turning on image preview and looked at all in the modpack?  And a neat trick is you can use one crosshair, and then a different aim circle.

Personally I use Destroyer Green, with a Warrior aim circle.    You might like one of the Minimalistic (or Blue Minimalistic), since they have info more to the side.  

Another trick, if you turn on replays, you can use a replay to see what the mods look like before doing a battle.

Look for "Show Team WN8 with Win Chance"   But beware, some get discouraged by it and tend to give up and lose more battles.   And while it can show who is favored, the percentages are not perfect, and don't account for the map, or if tanks can do well on the map, and other things.  And never post negative things in chat.

I will look for that info panel, I only saw the big panels so must have missed it.

The second does show enemy reload, it is the red text that shows up next to where your reload is.  In the video you can see it at :26 and :31.  I am also testing that sight, with other things from your pack, so I know that one does show reload of tanks under crosshair.  But if I can get the info panel, then maybe that is enough.

Thanks

In the video it shows a triangle sight.  There is a predator sight that is similar. 

I noticed in Protanki there are some crosshair mods that show the reload time of the enemy tank.  Like this - https://protanki.tv/mods/battle_mod/informatsionnaya-panel  or this https://protanki.tv/mods/aim/pritsel-spider  

Is there one in Aslains pack?  I have looked through the crosshairs in the pack, but didn't see one but maybe I missed it.  Bonus if it shows which tanks are autoloaders.

If not, can one be added?  The first link might be usable with any crosshair, so that would be nice.

Just have to figure out which mod(s) is causing it.  Since I have a lot of mods it may take awhile, so I was hoping the python.log would help.

I have no idea which mod is causing this.  I have tried various things but still have the issue.  As the title says it locks up at the battle loading screen, sometimes.  Most of the time it works fine, but tonight it locked twice out of twenty battles.  I then Alt-F4 it, reload and it works fine for a while.  It has been doing this on and off for weeks now.

These are the last lines of my python.log file when it is locked up.  I don't know what the "battle_control" is, or what mod it is from.  Any tips or suggestions would be helpful.
