Sometimes even the most seasoned players don't know how to do simple things in the game. This problem has not bypassed the newfangled "tanks" where sometimes, after an epic battle, you want not only to look at the action again, but also brag to your friends (or even find the enemy's strategic mistakes).
To be able to analyze their actions in "World of Tanks", the developers have added the function of recording and playing replays.
To play replays in WoT, you must first enable their recording. To do this, go to the game settings and in the "Game" tab activate the "Record battles for playback" function (this is the penultimate line on the left, it is activated by ticking the slot). By the way, this recording will be available not only immediately after the battle, but also offline.

Playing replays
To play a WoT replay, you need to:
- Close the game client;
- In the contents of the folder c:GamesWorld_of_Tanks (or where the game was installed) find the folder with the game record;
- Select the replay recording file (with *.wotreplay extension) and run it.
If instead of viewing the record, the replay system displays a message stating that the file could not be opened or that it is damaged, or the required program is not available, you need to perform the following actions:
- We put a dot in front of the function "Select programs from the list installed programs"and click" OK ";
- In the new window, click on the "Browse ..." button;
- We are looking for the launching file "WorldOfTanks.exe" and boldly press the "Open" and "OK" buttons.
After these steps, replays should play. Naturally, it will not be necessary to repeat the entire algorithm for each video - now they should start immediately.
Third Party Programs
Old-school gamers can continue to film their battles on the old-fashioned "Fraps" and "Cub" programs. They work quite well even with high ping, and the video itself can not only be saved on your hard drive and play the fight at any time of the day or night, but also cut, compose, or even make a clip to your favorite tune.
Many also want to make their effective battle public, but not everyone knows where world of tanks battles are recorded, how to open them and why the client does not play replays.
Where are replays recorded and stored in wot
First of all, you need to make sure that the battles of world of tanks are recorded, and for this, in the settings of the game client, you need to select the recording of all battles:
After that, records of all the battles you played can be found in the folder replays, which is located in the game directory. Replay names have the following format: Year Month Day_Hours Minutes_ Nation_Tank name_Map number_Map name.
Example: 20150720_1550_germany_Ltraktor_10_hills.wotreplay was created on July 20, 2015 at 15:50 and contains a recording of the battle on the Leichttraktor tank on the Mines map.
How to open and how to watch the World of Tanks replay
As you may have noticed, the replay file has the wotreplay format, which is quite simple to open and watch on a computer: you need to close the game client and launch the replay file. If the computer cannot recognize the format, then you will need to specify the path to the program through which playback will occur:
Click item Selecting a program from the list of installed programs, click OK, using the button Review go to the folder with the game, then point to the file WorldOfTanks.exe. After that, the battle recording will be played, and the system will learn to play the wotreplay format without such manipulations.
Replay management is very easy:
- Left mouse button- switches the camera view to free or real (as the tanker looked during the game).
- Arrows down-up- replay playback slower/faster.
- Arrows left-right- rewinds the replay back 40 seconds and forward 20 seconds. When rewinding, the battle loading screen appears, so do not be afraid, the screen will disappear and the replay will continue.
- Space- pause on/off.
