Colour Blind
Red/green is the most common kind of male colour blindness. This must make it difficult to tell friend from foe in WOT Blitz battles, as the only differentiation between allied tanks and enemies is that the former have green highlights and the latter have red. Is it possible at least to change the friendly markers to blue, the conventional colour for allied forces in wargames?

Check your settings, there's a colorblind mode setting in the Graphics section. It changes the red to some kind of purple (?) and the hit skins from red to white.

You can also change the markers above tanks in the HUD section, and have different ones for enemy tanks. That way I don't have to rely on the color at all - if the player's name shows up it's a teammate.

I'm 50% r/g colorblind. That mode works well for me but the new color for enemy tanks still doesn't show up on my mini-map. The purple (?) icons just fade into the background. I can see enough of the green but mostly rely on whatever that color is to be lighter than the enemy tanks. At least I know where my teammates are.

(I had the chance to provide some colorblind mode feedback to staff and asked for the minimap to be changed. Maybe some day it will be).

Thank you. I'm pleased to hear something has been done. Now I'll feel happy to ask my colour-blind friend to join me in the game.
