  They will now always know how long it is before weapons are fully operational and the consequences of their proliferation if fired before they are ready.

In general, mod is quite useful in combat. Like most modern mods, it has a settings file with which you can customize what information to display and what not, change the font and color of the text. It is located at this path: WOT\mods\configs\ekspoint\mod_ExtraAimInfo.json, where you can configure the following:
• view of the information timer in each sight mode ("TextFlashArcade" - arcade, "TextFlashSniper" - sniper and "TextFlashStrategic" - art sight);
• Enabling timer shutdown in each of these modes ("enable": true or "enable": false)
• Adjust view, size, font, shadow, text color (Text block: {} and shadow block: {})
• insert any picture underneath the text (block "background": {} for each sight separately);
