If you've got an unzipper installed you should be able to click on the download to unzip. Then open the files and drag and drop.  I think you only need the ones under GUI.

Well Mike, you did get me to pick up 'Dead Island'... ParadiseDead

Not that I'm complaining, running over zombies with a truck is so much fun it's another reason I haven't been playing as much WoT lately. Propeller

I assume you're on a NZ/Aussie/Pacific server or otherwise I'd l'd love to fight a battle or three with you.

Skippy: I'll try to remember to look you up, I game under the name Gamera977.

I stepped away from the game for about a month but got back into it about a week or so ago. Finally coughed up some cash for the game - I wish someone had told me about Premium tanks. My new Matilda Black Prince is a free xp and silver making machine!

Have you guys seen the new 8.4 update. I am just downloading it now and it says they have a Pz I. This should be interesting. Surely it doesn't start of with 2 MG's. And i am not really into British armour, but those TD's look interesting.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Bish: Haven't played any of the German stuff yet but I have been fooling around with the new Chinese tanks they recently added. Went though the Vickers light tank and the M3 Stuart (again 4th Stuart I've played) and just bought the PLA T-34. Still hanging on to the captured Japanese Type 97 Chi-Ha just for fun.

Also have a British Crusader and working toward a Cromwell, though it's the Comet I really want.

Haven`t gotten it at my locale yet but should soon. I`ve worked my way up to an IS 3....that and a Lowe are my highest tier tanks. I have the IS8 researched and I`m grinding away to get the coin to buy it...something like 3.3 million.....Tongue Tied

Hey Cliff! I`m not real thrilled with the Chinese line...have the Type T-34 and sometimes I like it....has a good gun but weak armor and speed.

I worked my butt off to get the Cromwell and I`m not really liking it right now. Seems like it`s alot tougher when you`re up against one than when driving one...lol. It has good speed and moves  great  but has weak, flat armor...whatever you do, keep moving when you`re in it or die....Dead 

I want a Comet also but I currently have to grind my way up to a tier 9 so I can do clan wars. I can use my tier 8`s for now but don`t really stand much of a chance against tier 10 tanks.

I haven't bothered with the Chinese ones. I just assumed they would be the same as the Soviets ones.

I only revently got to Tier V with a Pz III/IV. Just getting some of my other lines to the same level before i go to VI. I wouldn't mind a Lowe though.

Well, I figured most players would go with the Soviet and German tech trees so I ended up going mostly with the American line- now I see lots of US tanks so I got into the British and Chinese lines just to be different!

Len: Thanks for the head's up! The real Cromwell was slightly faster but slightly less well armored than the M4 Sherman so I guess it fits. I've burnt enough time into the game now that I guess I might as well keep working toward it rather than starting over on the US, UK, or USSR medium tech trees. I went up the M7 US medium path instead of the M3 Lee/Grant- then they added the auto-loading US tanks and the M7 no longer leads to the M4 Sherman. And I've got the Matilda Black Prince to train the crew up with. 

Please send me a screen shot of the IS-8 when you get it- sounds awesome!  

Bish: You're right, the Chinese tanks are mostly Soviet ones with a few modest improvements here and there but fewer upgrade options. Not sure there's much point to going up that path unless like me you just want something different.

My highest vehicle is still my M18 Hellkitty. I think I'm spreading myself too thin:

US turreted tank destroyer line- M18

US SPG line- M37

US medium auto-loader line- M7 (still annoyed they changed the tree around, I was aiming for a Sherman)

US light line- M5 Stuart

UK medium line- Crusader

PLA medium line - Type T-34

Premium tank- UK medium - Matilda Black Prince

I have 23 tanks in my garage.....

1. M22 Locust

2. T2 medium

3. RamII

4. M4A3E2 Sherman Jumbo

5. T-20 Medium

6. M6 Heavy

7.T-29

8. M18 Hellcat

9. Cromwell

10. Black Prince

11. Leichttraktor

12. Luchs

13. T-25

14. Tiger I

15. Lowe

16. T-127

17. T-50

18. KV1S

19. IS

20. IS3

21. SU-26

22. SU-5

23. Type-T-34

....5 of them are premiums. The Lowe was given to me as a gift....$50 tank! Obviously, I`ve spent some money on the game because I wanted to compete in clan wars when they were at the lower tiers. Now they are back to tier 10 and I`m back to the grind. On the bright side, I`ve been building again while taking breaks from the game...lol.
