So, you want to make a localization mod, but you don’t know where or how to start. Well this is the all-in-one guide for them. This guide is here because, though the standard localization instructions and localization guidelines on the wiki have some great information, they are missing some key information too. Information about file structures, what texts are in which files, how to add files, and how to rename vehicles and weapons are all missing from it. So, to remedy that issue, here is a better guide.

Since update 1.73 "Vive la France" the default sighting reticle for ground vehicles in War Thunder can be replaced with a custom one, for example if you want to recreate a historical representation of the sight. Custom sights will be created by changing settings in the reticle file rather than in any graphic editor.

If you are bored with the look of your favorite vehicles and the available in-game camouflages are not quite right for your vehicle - a custom camouflage can be a good solution to creating a unique look for your vehicle.

With the introduction of update 1.59 "Flaming Arrows", players are able to change the hangar for a custom one.

Missions, created by players in the War Thunder CDK, can be launched within the game and completed either alone or in a team.

Under the Live WT content creators support program, in every War Thunder major update, 40 user created camouflages are grouped in a special trophy.

Starting from the Dance of Dragons update, tanks with camouflage nets are being switched to a new shader for texturing camouflage nets. In the Dance of Dragons update, the Vextra 105 and T-80U-E1 switched to the new system, and starting from the Firebirds update, all new vehicles with camouflage nets will be added with the new texturing system.
