Increases armor thickness when calculating splash damage from High Explosive (HE) shells (near misses and non-penetrating hits both from tanks and SPGs) or from collisions with other tanks. Has no effect on penetrating hits from HE or other shells. Primarily useful on tanks that are already heavily armored, especially any of the Heavy Tanks and the British tank destroyers due to the greater effectiveness of the Heavy and Superheavy spall liners on already thick armor. Usage of the light and medium spall liners is not recommended, although exceptions may be made for designated ramming tanks.

Buy this if you feel that your tank is very prone to ammo rack damage and ammo rack explosions.

Buy this if you feel your tank is very prone to engine damage. Note: this does not counteract the engine damage side-effect of the Removed Speed Governor, as the Removed Speed Governor damage is calculated as a percentage of engine HP (aka even though you have greater engine hit points the damage your engine suffers per second is also greater).

Available only for Soviet and Chinese tanks, and does not include Soviet crewed Lend Lease vehicles.

Buy this if you feel that hits to the fuel tank are causing you problems.

Available from tier 6.

A higher load limit does not improve acceleration, traverse rates, or anything else. It just increases the max. weight capacity; this can very useful as temporary equipment on higher tier tanks to avoid researching the suspension to get turret and gun upgrades sooner. For permanent usage, the more useful aspect of this equipment is the increase in suspension hit points, which makes your tank harder to de-track. It also reduces damage you take from falling, which can be useful for those who frequently like to take ‘shortcuts’ on maps.

Rammers come in four types: «Medium» and «Large» Caliber Tank Gun Rammers for tanks and TDs, and «Medium» and «Large» Caliber Artillery Gun Rammers for SPGs. Rammers are not available for vehicles equipped with Autoloader guns, except for certain special cases, such as the Chi-Ri.

The GLD is particularly useful on certain guns which have a very long aim time. GLDs are highly recommended for Self-Propelled Guns. On vehicles which can mount vertical stabilizers, use a GLD in combination with a Vertical Stabilizer for maximum aim time reduction, but vertical stabilizers are generally considered more beneficial than GLDs when available.

GLDs are available on almost all vehicles of all Nations, from Tier-1.

Vertical Stabilizer Mk 1 is for Light and Medium tanks, Vertical Stabilizer Mk 2 is for Heavy tanks.

An excellent piece of equipment for players that prefer offensive play. Use in combination with an Enhanced Gun Laying Drive for maximum aim time reduction, but vertical stabilizers are generally considered more beneficial than GLDs when avaliable. It’s equally useful for defensive play when moving from behind cover («peek-a-boo») as well as shooting on the move.

Available for American Mediums at tier 6 and Heavies at tier 7. Available for all British medium and heavy tanks at tier 7. Available for all other nations starting at tier 8, with the exception of all Light tanks starting from Tier 5.

The bonus is applied at all times except when Binoculars are active, making this equipment better suited for aggressive and scouting players. Recommended for aggressive medium and light tanks, especially at high tiers.

Available for the following tanks:

(SU-76I, SU-85I, Pz.Kpfw. III Ausf. A, Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. A, Pz.Kpfw. III, Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. D, Pz.Kpfw. III/IV, Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. H, VK 30.01 (H), Durchbruchswagen 2, Pz.Kpfw. IV Schmalturm, StuG III Ausf. B, StuG III Ausf. G, Jagdpanzer IV, Nashorn, Sturmpanzer II, Pz.Sfl. IVb, Hummel)

Not available on open-topped vehicles.

The Wear-Resistant Gun Laying Drive is especially useful on certain guns which have a very long aim time, reducing aiming time by 12.5%. GLDs are highly recommended for Self-Propelled Guns. On vehicles which can mount vertical stabilizers, use a GLD in combination with a Vertical Stabilizer for maximum aim time reduction, but vertical stabilizers are generally considered more beneficial than GLDs when available.
This is compatible for every vehicle that can apply a gun laying drive, this cannot be combined with a gun laying drive, but the effect can be increased further through the use of the Aim Tuning directive

Venting System increases by 7.5% the crew qualification and crew skills. Not available on open-topped vehicles.
This is compatible for every vehicle that can apply improved ventilation of any class, this cannot be combined with improved ventilation or applied on open-topped vehicles, but the effect can be increased further through the use of the Vent Purge directive, and using the food/drink for the respective nation of vehicle.

Stabilizing Equipment System decreases a guns accuracy penalties, note it does not effect the accuracy rating of the gun.
This is compatible for every vehicle that can apply a Vertical Stabilizer, this cannot be combined with a Vertical Stabilizer, but the effect can be increased further through the use of the Stabilizer Greasing directive.

Innovative Loading System increases the loading speed and cause a 12.5% decrease to the manual hand-loading time. Rammers are highly recommended for every vehicle.
This is compatible for every vehicle that can apply a rammer, this cannot be combined with a gun rammer or applied on auto-loading vehicles, but the effect can be increased further through the use of the orderly ammo rack directive.

The bonus is applied at all times, making this equipment better suited for aggressive and scouting players. Recommended for aggressive medium and light tanks, especially at high tiers. This cannot be combined with coated optics, but the effect can be increased further through the use of the Optical Calibration directive.

Particularly useful if your crew does not have a high repair skill of their own yet. Most people buy the Toolbox for faster repair of their tank’s tracks, which is very important as an immobile tank is easy prey for SPG and sniping tanks. This cannot be combined with a toolbox, but the effect can be increased further through the use of the Pre-Battle Maintenance directive.
