    Hey there!

    So I tried to use multiple red ball mods (ProstoNoob, Warlance, Blackwot by Polarfox), but none of them worked. 

    Once I managed to catch a glimpse of a tracer when the enemy arty shot a shell, and I managed to land a killing blow, but thats all.

    There are notifications when the enemy arty shoots, and he is reloading now.

    I tried Whyphy’s, Apollo’s, and Helpics’s modpack. 

    I tried everything: installing in a clean res_mods folder, installing only 1 of the 3 redball mods, installing all 3 of them at once, installing only the redball mods, but none of these worked. 

    I know there is a new client, 9.15.1, but my client still says its 9.15.0.1.

    Maybe I messed up something? Maybe there is a problem with my original res_mods folder? (in my res_mods folder there are to folder: 9.15.1 and 9.15.0.1. Each contains 1 readme.txt.)

    Could someone help me what should I do to make it work?

    Or maybe I am using this mod wrong? 

    How does this mod works exactly? Is it supposed to show the arty’s location whenever it shoots, or it needs certain requirements to show the position?

     

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    most red ball mods are used with the thicker tracer mod , 

    what you need to do,

    when on certain maps you can bet your house that if there are two arty on enemy team your going to know roughly where they are correct?

    unless the arty is french or low tier brit they will not move far from start point , you need to zoom out and watch an area,

    dont zoom out to far or you will not see the tracers , there is a type of sweet spot that gives you maximum view window , you need to find this.

    if you are a student of arty play , you should also roughly know the reload times of the enemy arty , remember arty likes to fire as soon as its loaded so you can predict when the next shot is coming from him,

    keep watching and scanning the possible arty locations , a lot like fishing you will get a bite :) and if you have the firing arty in your view window you will see a little red ball appear, aim just behind this and bingo!!!!

    enemy vehicle is destroyed :)

    you really need a redball that uses the tracer mod or comes with it.

    Or the simpliest way to understand is you tube… For example:

    Thank you guys for the reply!

I’ll try to install a tracer mod for the redball. Right now I’m playing with the french arty line, at T4, so maybe the artys in this tier are low calibre, so the tracer mod won’t recognize them. I’ll try it anyway.

I appriciate it, but by explaining how it works I meant explaining how the code works. For e.g.: the code detects when a projectile pierced a certain high point, and then it shows where is that point.

    I’ll post my results in the evening when I get home, I’m at work right now.

    Have a nice day!

    Well, I tried the tracer mod thingy (for the 9.15.1 client). Sometimes it shows where the arty shot, for a very small time (the tracer disappears after 2-3 seconds), sometimes not. However it always show the visible enemy’s tracers, so I guess it is working somehow. 

    The new redball also doesn’t work. Looks like I have to learn coding in python to solve this.

    I also tried Warlances 9.15.1 red ball mod. It never showed the enemy arty’s postion, like in the video Apollo linked. It only showed already spotted tanks last postion where they made a shot.

    Also tried wotspeak’s 9.15.1 red ball mod, it didn’t showed anything.

    All attempts made with a clear res_mods folder

    Cheers!

    Is there a 9.15.1 version of Prostonoob’s redball, or is the 9.15.0.1 works fine with the new client? 

    Thanks for the info in advance!

    So i tried to use the tracer mod to spot the enemy arty, but it doesn’t show it, only the spotted tanks leave tracers(which is kinda useless). I’ve never catched the arty’s tracer, even tough I scanned the spawn area where the artys usually stands.

    I also tried Prostonoob’s 9.15.01 mod,  didn’t worked.

    Warlances redball mod only shows the enemy tanks last spotted position, witch is kinda meh…
