Mobility and consumables 🔧 Tank upgrades guide #1 - YouTube

Have you ever wondered what is the difference between filters and transmission?

when I started this guide, I was unaware by how many

Significant details are hidden below the surface of done tests recorded them

Collected everything I was able to pick from the internet and now presenting you

tank modifications guide

Game tells us the tracks

increases maximum inclination and overall module strength and

Module strength is really simple just increases drugs health points

So you can soak up more damage before needing to repair and if you think that maximum inclination will let you climb

Steeper Hills?, you are right. You really can take root that otherwise would be impossible

But what affects your climbing ability?

Friction the grip between track and soil and this leads to an interesting

assumption how an increased grip effects tank when turning I've

compared the same vehicle with and without tracks modification and the results were surprising and the first example

Tanks turned by activating track on one side and stopping on the other

This tank has tracks upgraded and starts turning from still position quite well making a little circle around

stationary track

Let's compare it to exactly the same tank. But without the modification it barely moves

such tanks need a little momentum to turn better and

still the circular and stationary track is way bigger and

Now let's take a look at tanks that can turn on spot by moving tracks on both sides in two different directions

this d29 has tracks upgraded and turns really smoothly staying in one place and

Now compare it to the same tank with tracks more disabled

I'm holding only D key on my keyboard, but still it starts to move forward and

what's funny after meeting small hump dank now moves backwards and

for some magical reasons

again forward if

You want your time to move predictably upgrade tracks?

Brake system does exactly what you might think when thinking about brakes

It stops your vehicle for this test

I used test drive with current modifications selected and

Only use w and s keys to move this way

I exclude possibility of different humps or distance as I'm traveling

Exactly the same route

This green line marks where I'm about to break. You can even hear how I smash my keyboard

The heavier and faster your tank is the more noticeable is the difference

Suspension effects suspension damping and firing accuracy when moving

Try to guess which example has modification installed if?

There is any difference. It's so small that you will still have to stop before shooting

so I thought maybe with

Modification terrain makes less drag and lets you move faster

Look at those beats

Barely any difference again if there is benefit of upgrading suspension, it's minimal

Filters, transmission, engine, are all affecting acceleration and add additional

horsepower

According to description both filters and transmission up by half less effective than engine

So I tested that

again, test Drive, identical route, only W button in use

first Drive without

Anything vehicle reaches 40 km/h in about 11 seconds

Then it increases to 41 but doesn't grow any more

Then we add filters and acceleration to 40 took only 10 seconds plus

The maximum speed can reach up to 42 now

Now, let's compare filters versus transmission which according to game stats at similar bonuses. Just

Just transmission adds power to drive wheels

Same result they are identical

How about both filters with transmission together?

versus at the engine only they both accelerate to 40 km/h

for about 9 seconds and

Maximum speed is now 44

Since engine and transmission cost the same

first researching engine is recommended and

Now just for comparison

stock and all three modifications at once

With everything unlocked we reached 40 per second and a half seconds and

maximum speed for this vehicle increased to 46 km/h

Parts a must-have modification for every tank gives the opportunity to fix damaged modules

tracks will repair no matter what but without parts other modules can be fixed only at friendly capture point if

Enemies captured all points. You'll have to capture it first to be able to repair

Usually the first modification for every tank

Fire prevention equipment lets you put out fire

Once fire starts, you can press an extinguisher button manually and few seconds. Later

It's done, but for those few seconds, you cannot do any other actions

It might make sense to deal with the enemy before activating it

There's a trick if you don't have this modification and get on fire, but still can move

dive your hull underwater deep enough, but

Most of the time when you start burning without fire prevention equipment you just died

Crew replenishment is actually a consumable

Tank is considered destroyed when there are less than two crew members alive

Each tank must have driver and gunner if one of these crew members is dead

It's replaced by another not that important member like loader commander and radio operator

critical crew members can be replaced as long as there are enough people left in a tank if

one of the crew dies you can manually activate crew replenishment once in

arcade if only one crew member survives this consumable will be activated automatically if you don't have the

Modification as soon as your crew count reaches 1 or less your tank will be considered destroyed in

realistic and simulator

You can only replace crew member on friendly capture point by manually pressing a button

If you left with 1 or less tanker in sight you will die and crew replenishment won't activate

Quick recap of tests tracks improve turning climbing and damage it can get before braking

Brake system lets you stop faster

suspension no significant effect

filters and transmission increases acceleration and max real speed vehicle can achieve

Engine same as filters or transmission just twice more effective

Parts lets you repair damaged modules anywhere

fire prevention equipment

Gives you ability to extinguish fire

Crew replenishment lets you replace one dead crew member per match

These were modifications that every tank has

Offensive and varying upgrades will be shown in next part
