Additional equipment wot. Body kit in WOT - what to put on tanks
Equipment- an important element of a complete set of gaming equipment to improve some of its characteristics for certain needs of the player and his style of play. Properly selected equipment will make it possible to weaken the negative effect of the shortcomings of the combat vehicle and / or enhance its advantages.
Equipment Description
All equipment in the game is divided into removable and complex. Removable equipment can be moved from one tank to another without any special restrictions (the tank must be repaired). In turn, complex equipment can be returned to the warehouse only by paying 10 gold. For 1 c.u. You can rent 25 pieces of sophisticated equipment.
Removable equipment
Removable equipment is an "economy package": stereo tube + tool box + camouflage net. This configuration is very convenient for those who are experiencing a shortage of credits or do not want to rearrange complex equipment for gold to walk-through tanks. In any case, equipment slots should never be left empty - they can always be covered with a pipe, box or net if you have them. You never know in advance how a fight will go. Perhaps a timely detection of an enemy or a second bonus to repairs will save the life of your tank or help you win in a tough battle.
Stereoscopic telescope
Effect: +25% vision radius from a stationary tank.
Description: One of the most useful types of equipment. The 25% vision bonus is very impressive, and sometimes decisive. A tank or self-propelled gun that spotted the enemy first has a huge tactical advantage. As a rule, this is the right to fire the first shot or the opportunity for various maneuvers (change of position, retreat, turn to the enemy with armor). Besides, good review financially beneficial: if the tank sees further, it fires at other people's light less often, on the contrary, it shines on the allies, thereby earning credits - as a result, all the income from its shot and part of the income from the shot of the allies go to the piggy bank.
The stereo tube only works in a stationary position, so active game lovers usually prefer an alternative - coated optics. However, in fact, even fast tanks can benefit tremendously from the use of a stereo tube. It can be a passive light for the allies or a careful movement from cover to cover: we reached the bush - looked around, if there is no danger, we move on.
Of course, blind-sighted tank destroyers, such as Ferdinand, ISU-152, Jagdpanther and others, will feel the greatest benefit from the stereo tube. The tube will allow them to be the first to spot an enemy at line of sight, fire, and then back into cover to reload.
For blind vehicles with 260-330 field of view (Hetzer, SU-152, SAu-40 and others), the stereo tube can become a real lifesaver, especially at the end of the battle when you need to drag. Even with stereo weak tank is able to fight off several opponents, leaving under fire one at a time, or direct fire on them with friendly artillery.
The pipe should not be used on melee tanks such as Maus, E-100, IS-7, KV-5 and others. In addition, on vehicles with a 390+ field of view, the effect of the pipe will be excessive at a visibility limit of 445 meters. Of course, in this case, the tank gets a bonus to unmasking enemies, but it's still more rational to use optics on such vehicles.
Verdict: the stereo tube is of little use on howitzer self-propelled guns and melee vehicles. For combat vehicles with a view of 390 or more, it is more rational to use coated optics. For all others, this type of equipment is recommended for use. For most ambush snipers and tactical enthusiasts passive light be sure to set.
Toolbox
Effect: +25% repair speed.
Description: This type of equipment is useful on the equipment, which is often criticized. First of all, these are tracks and a gun. In this regard, the box will be most useful on heavy melee tanks with a large margin of safety (E-100, E-75, T32, KV-5, IS-3 and others) - they often have to either become a rhombus or dance with their body, making it difficult for the enemy aiming. In such cases, the projectile often flies into the track. American TTs and tank destroyers, such as T29, T32, T30 usually play through the tower and often get crit guns several times per battle. In addition, super-armored vehicles such as the Maus often suffer from gun crits - desperate to break through their armor, lower-level enemies like to switch to land mines and ruin our lives by breaking the main caliber. Speeding up repairs will be useful for tank destroyers - enemies often deliberately shoot down a caterpillar in order to go into the flank and rear of a helpless self-propelled gun. Often, the caterpillar is also torn off by an artillery mine that exploded nearby. Timely repairs will allow you to get away from subsequent shells launched "after".
It is important to remember that the effect of the crate stacks with the “Repair” skill pumped by the crew. Moreover, without repair, the box will be practically useless. Another thing is when the repair is swinging, but has not yet reached 100%, and this case is the most common reason for installing a toolbox. That is, when pumping repairs from the crew on some TT or ST, we put a box. When the repair is completely (or almost completely) pumped for all tankers, we change the crate for some other useful equipment. It should be borne in mind that the time for repairing modules for different machines is different. For example, for a German VK3601(H) with a 100% repair, a downed caterpillar is being repaired for 7 seconds. Installing a box helps reduce this time to 5 seconds.
In general, the recommendations for using the box are the same as for using the repair skill. Where repair is the first skill (and this is the majority of equipment in the game), there the box will come in handy. And where we set the repair to 3-4 skill, there the box will not be particularly useful. Among these vehicles, LT and ST up to level 5 can be noted, as well as all howitzer self-propelled guns. The reason lies in the fact that for tanks with a small margin of safety, stopping under fire due to the loss of a track, as a rule, leads to a quick death. The caterpillar simply does not have time to repair (both with and without a box) and it is more expedient to use a repair kit.
Verdict: A tool box is a useful piece of equipment. Recommended for TT, ST and tank destroyers from level 5, whose crews are doing repairs. Most useful for heavy tanks with large quantity HP. It is removed for free, so it can be useful as a temporary measure for tanks that have not yet purchased the necessary equipment.
camouflage net
Effect: Significantly reduces the visibility of a stationary vehicle.
Description: Unlike the Stealth skill, the net is useful not only for stealthy vehicles - the stealth bonus is fixed. However, occupying a precious equipment slot with a camouflage net should be where it is really necessary and in conjunction with the "Camouflage" skill.
A net in combination with a stereo tube can be useful for passive light: a light tank with camouflage, a net and a stereo tube drives into a bush not far from the enemy’s movement path and directs fire on allies, remaining unnoticed. In addition, nothing prevents the use of similar tactics on tank destroyers: until a certain moment, we shine on the allies, and when the enemy comes close, we open fire ourselves.
The grid can also be useful on self-propelled guns if enemy light has broken through to it. If the scout is not riding straight at you, but is busy searching at a certain distance, it will be more useful to lie low, covering himself with a net, and not try to destroy the enemy on his own, thereby revealing his position. Even if there is nowhere to wait for help, a good disguise gives a chance to let the enemies get closer and make a more prepared shot.
Verdict: a useful kind of equipment. Recommended for light tanks, tank destroyers and self-propelled guns whose crews are working on camouflage. Fans of cautious play and sniper tactics who are well versed in the mechanics of camouflage and detection in the game will bring the greatest benefit.
Sophisticated equipment
All of the following equipment can be dismantled from vehicles for only 10 .
Rammer
Effect: -10% loading time.
Description: It would not be an exaggeration to call this type of equipment the most useful in the game. On the one hand, it improves the most important combat characteristic of the tank - the rate of fire. On the other hand, the 10% increase itself is very significant. It is thanks to these two factors that the rammer has gained immense popularity among the players. It is used on almost all tanks and self-propelled guns, where it is only possible to install it and is included in everything, even the most specific assemblies.
The rammer is very important for self-propelled guns and tanks with a long reload time, since the longer the loading time, the more tangible the benefits of this type of equipment. It should be remembered that the rammer is not installed on equipment with a drum or cassette loading mechanism.
Tanks with very high reload speeds, such as the Churchill III, can do without a rammer. Their rate of fire is already very high. Moreover, the rate of fire of such tanks exceeds the rate of aiming of the gun. That is, when firing at medium and long distances, the rate of fire is excessive and you either have to artificially slow down the rate of fire by pressing the trigger less often, or shoot without full information, pouring hurricane, but not accurate fire on the enemy. At the same time, at close range, when accuracy is of little importance, extra fractions of a second between shots can decide the outcome of the confrontation.
Verdict A: A very useful piece of equipment. Recommended for installation on all combat vehicles. An exception may be vehicles with a very high rate of fire, where aiming does not keep up with reloading.
Reinforced pickup drives
Effect: +10% aiming speed.
Description: This type of equipment is best suited for cars that shoot from a place. In other cases, it is preferable to install a vertical stabilizer, which will be discussed a little later. Acceleration of information is important for those who have it for a long time, and this is, first of all, all self-propelled guns - for them, the use of a combination of rammer + drives is an axiom. The owners of Soviet equipment will greatly benefit from the reinforced aiming drives: on most Soviet guns, the aiming and accuracy leave much to be desired, and the drives will come in handy. For the Germans, Americans and British, the stabilizer is more suitable, since they have a high aiming speed of the guns and the drives will not have a tangible effect.
Drives will be quite appropriate on drum and cluster tanks, since a rammer is not placed on them.
Verdict: a useful kind of equipment. The second most popular after the rammer. Masthev for artillery, tanks and tank destroyers with long mixing.
Vertical stabilizer
Effect: -20% spread when moving and turning the turret.
Description: Contrary to popular belief, this useful piece of equipment isn't just for those who like to shoot on the move. Even an ambush sniper can feel the positive effect of the stabilizer, because when choosing a target and switching from one target to another, you have to constantly turn the turret. The smaller the initial spread, the smaller the circle will start mixing, which means it will take less time. In addition, an unprepared shot (a shot without aiming) will be more accurate.
The same goes for shooting on the move. Of course, a tank that shoots on the move will receive a bonus. But do not forget that the stabilizer bonus will also be received by the tank that stopped for a shot. That is, with a sharp stop, the convergence of the sight will begin from a smaller circle.
As mentioned above, the stabilizer is best suited for tanks with a high aiming speed. However, it will also be useful for other machines. In most assemblies, the rammer + stabilizer or rammer + reinforced aiming drives are the main ones. Disputes flare up only around the third slot for equipment.
Verdict A: A very useful piece of equipment. Recommended for installation on all combat vehicles. The vertical aiming stabilizer provides faster mixing in the vast majority of cases than reinforced aiming drives.
coated optics
Effect: +10% vision radius.
Description: The importance of such a parameter as a review was discussed in the section about the Stereo Tube. Optics gives a smaller bonus, but it works constantly, and not just after stopping. In this regard, optics are needed for those who are actively operating on the battlefield. First of all, these are medium and light tanks. The latter does not hurt to install both optics and a stereo tube at the same time. This allows you to combine the tactics of active light with passive. Optics are also an excellent choice for combat vehicles with a field of view of 390 meters or more. We see far and wide.
Verdict: a useful kind of equipment. Important for light tanks. Otherwise, an excellent choice for most combat vehicles along with a rammer and stabilizer.
Improved ventilation
Effect: +5% to all skills of the entire crew.
Description: There is a lot of controversy around the ventilation (or “valve”, as the players call it for short), as well as the similar crew skill “Brothers in Arms”. Who puts a valve on all their combat vehicles(except self-propelled guns with open cabins, where there are no problems with air circulation), someone uses it selectively, someone does not use it at all.
To begin with, let's look at what exactly the ventilation affects: vision, gun aiming and turret traverse speed, gun accuracy, reload speed, acceleration, traverse speed, communication range, as well as all additional skills, such as repair and camouflage. It looks good - almost all the characteristics of the tank are improved. The next question is: how much do they improve? And here lies the main catch: 5% to the basic skill of the crew is about 2-2.5% to the real performance characteristics of the vehicle. In fact, this is a meager addition, not noticeable in battle. Experiments were carried out: the difference in charging the drum for AMX 13-90 with and without a valve was about a second, for Type 59 - 0.15 seconds! This difference is imperceptible to human perception and is also eaten up by such technical factors as ping and response time.
Similar experiments were carried out many times, their results can be found on the forum. Thus, people who claim that they installed ventilation and “improved EVERYTHING!”, and also describe in detail how their tanks began to drive fast, shoot accurately and quickly, are under the Placebo effect, that is, self-hypnosis.
However, the effect of ventilation can be enhanced by leveling the Brotherhood in Arms skill and using premium consumables (Improved Ration, Chocolate, etc.). In this case, you can achieve a really noticeable improvement in performance.
Ventilation can do its job on low level tanks: other useful pieces of equipment, such as a rammer, are often missing there. In addition, ventilation is cheap for light tanks.
In addition, ventilation can be used to reduce the negative effect of under-pumped crew. For example, a new 75% or retrained 90% crew will do their job better if fresh air enters the cabin of the combat vehicle. When tankers reach 100% of the main specialty, ventilation can be replaced with other equipment.
Verdict: The benefit of using improved ventilation is debatable. On the one hand, almost all machine parameters are improved; on the other hand, the increase itself is insignificant. It makes sense to use ventilation only in conjunction with the “Combat Brotherhood” of the crew and gold consumables, as well as in the case when there is no other alternative.
Anti-fragmentation lining
Effect: 15% to 50% to absorb damage from explosions and ramming, as well as protect the crew from injury.
Description: First, let's deal with the first indicator. Absorption is absorption, that is plain language, lining reduces damage from collisions and hits from high-explosive fragmentation shells. The additive is quite serious, there is a reason to think about installing this module on some cars. Logic dictates that the HE and collision damage reduction will be useful for those who often ram opponents and who are often fired at by HE. These conditions are subject to heavy tanks, such as E-100, Maus, IS-7, KV-5, KV-4 and some others. All these are machines with a large mass and excellent ramming, and the increase from the lining itself is maximum (50% for a super-heavy lining). Speaking of ramming, one can also recall the E-50 and E-50 ausf. M - lining on them can be of great benefit, although such an arrangement is extraordinary, rather fun. An excellent effect can be obtained by combining lining and pumping the “Master of the Ram” from the driver.
As for the protection of crew members, this is a very serious argument in favor of installing a lining. Personal experience has shown that on tanks with a well-protected crew, such as the E-100, the installation of a lining gives almost 100% protection against injuries. In addition to the obvious benefits, this also allows you to replace the first-aid kit with another consumable.
It is also important to note that the lining itself has a large mass: from 250 kg to 1.5 tons, depending on the class. It makes the car heavier, but the ram from this becomes more powerful.
Verdict: the lining is useful on heavy tanks with strong armor and a powerful ram.
Reinforced springs
Effect: +10% to carrying capacity and increased suspension durability.
Description: Reinforced Springs / Torsion bars / Suspension / Balancers / Springs / Belleville washers - all this is essentially one type of equipment for different types technology. A caveat is immediately needed: this type of equipment does not improve the driving performance of a combat vehicle, only the carrying capacity and strength of the tracks. If everything is clear with the strength of the tracks (the less often they fly off, the better), then the increase in carrying capacity should be said separately.
This type of equipment is mainly used on stock machines. Most tanks cannot be equipped with a top turret or guns without first replacing the chassis. Sometimes the desired powerful weapon is already open, but the stock chassis does not allow you to install it, and there is no experience on the new chassis. In order not to suffer on a stock tank for several dozen battles before the chassis opens, you can install springs (or their equivalent). They will allow you to install the necessary modules and equipment without a new chassis. This, in turn, will increase the combat effectiveness of the tank and it will be easier to gain experience on the chassis. After researching and installing the chassis, the springs can be replaced with something more useful.
Verdict: the use of this type of equipment is limited to stock vehicles, which lack the carrying capacity, as well as light tanks that play according to the "active light" tactics.
Wet ammo rack
Effect: +50% ammo rack durability.
Description: All you need to know here is that a wet ammo rack is only needed on those machines where it often detonates. It detonates, and is not damaged, although often this is interconnected. Like the "Non-contact ammo rack" skill, this equipment will not protect against ammo damage (to the point of being yellow).
When your absolutely whole tank is blown up with one shot, you experience a storm of negative emotions, so you remember such moments well. However, if you think about it, such situations are quite rare. Is it worth it to spend a slot for equipment for them - everyone makes his own choice.
Verdict: this type of equipment is useful on tanks, the ammo of which detonates most often. These include: IS-3, Type 59, T-44, less often T110E5 and IS-7. For the rest of the equipment, cases of BC explosions are rare.
Filling CO2 tanks
Effect: +50% fuel tank durability.
Description: Damage to tanks to yellow has no negative effects. Damage to the red state results in a fire. Thus, this type of equipment can be useful on machines that are prone to frequent fires due to hits in tanks (but not in the engine or transmission).
The usefulness of this type of equipment is questionable. A fire extinguisher usually saves from one fire. Two fires per battle is very rare. In addition, the equipment does not provide reliable 100% tank protection. If the enemy aims at the tanks, no carbon dioxide will save the car, it will only give a head start in 1-2 hits.
Verdict: a highly specialized type of equipment. Of the cars where tanks often burn, one can recall the KV-1, KV-1S, KV-3 and T-62A. And even then, in most cases, a fire extinguisher helps out.
Filter Cyclone
Effect: +50% engine durability.
Description: The Cyclone filter is installed only on Soviet tanks. In most cases, the best engine protection is not to turn astern to the enemy. In general, the situation is the same as with wet ammo racks and filling CO2 tanks. It seems to be useful, but there is always something more useful.
There is only one caveat here. Some players use the "Filter Cyclone + Twisted ESC" build, suggesting that the filter will help to drive longer at higher speeds. However, in reality this is not the case. The reason lies in the fact that the regulator removes not individual points from the engine, but percentages of strength.
Verdict: a specialized type of equipment. In most cases, it gives way to other more necessary equipment.
Additional lugs
Effect: +10% flotation in soft soils, +5% flotation in medium soils.
Description: A specialized type of equipment, available only for some, not the most common German cars.
Most of the soils in the game are average, so the increase in patency on them is relevant. But the 5% bonus itself is not very big and is unlikely to be noticeable. However, it can be strengthened by upgrading the driver with the “King of Off-Road” skill. However, even in this case, the tank will not roll through the swamps, like on asphalt. One way or another, difficult areas are best avoided.
Verdict: a specialized type of equipment. Installed on a small number of tanks. Inferior in usefulness to other types of equipment. As a result, it does not find wide application among players.
Hardware Assemblies
This section lists the most common types of equipment assemblies and provides general guidelines for their use. More detailed equipment recommendations for each tank can be found in the vehicle wiki articles.
"Sighted wagon"The most common build. The emphasis is on improving combat performance and visibility. This assembly is ideal for almost all heavy and especially medium tanks of 8-10 levels. |
|
"Alternative Wagon"This build is suitable for experienced crews with 3-4 additional specialties. A combination of ventilation + combat brotherhood + radio interception + eagle eye gives an increase in visibility equal to optics. At the same time, the bonus of ventilation and combat fraternity slightly increases the other characteristics of the tank. |
|
"Drummer"This assembly is recommended for installation on tanks with automatic loaders. If the crew does not have a combat fraternity, then it is more expedient to replace the ventilation with reinforced aiming drives, since the effect of the valve in this case will be practically not noticeable. |
|
"Sniper"Universal assembly for most tank destroyers and fans of cautious game on tanks with insufficient visibility, long aiming and reloading, such as T34, KV-1S, ARL44 and others. |
|
"Rapid Shooter"This build is suitable for tanks and tank destroyers with high visibility and fast aiming. For example, Tortoise, JagdTiger 8.8, Comet and others. |
|
"Artilleryman"Standard assembly for self-propelled guns. For large high-level self-propelled guns, the network should be replaced with optics (sometimes it helps at the end of the battle) or lining (slightly saves inexperienced fireflies from splashing and ramming). |
|
"Firefly"Standard assembly for a firefly that alternates between active and passive light. For more emphasis on passive light, ventilation can be replaced with a camouflage net. |
|
"Sand King"Choice for tanks and tank destroyers of levels 1-5. |
- For a beginner: the equipment is expensive and at the beginning of the game there are not enough credits for it. This is a normal situation. For several evenings of the game, you can reach level 5. Tanks and tank destroyers at this level have a high profitability, so it makes sense to linger on them and farm loans. The purchase of a standard set (Stereo tube + Camouflage net + Toolbox) will make it easier for you to play further.
- The game regularly holds promotions, including 50% discounts on all equipment. During promotions, buy equipment for the future, this allows you to save huge amounts of money.
- Do not forget to remove the equipment before selling equipment.
- Please note that there are two types of Stabilizer and Wet ammo rack, Liner and Ventilation - three, Rammer - four, and Springs - twenty! When buying equipment through a store, be careful to make sure you buy what you need.
- Remove hardware from machines you don't play. It will cost less than buying a new one.
- The use of ventilation without fraternity in the crew is not recommended. The increase is too small.
- Reinforced springs and their analogues do not affect the driving performance of the combat vehicle.
If you play World of Tanks, then it will hardly be a secret to you that having an expensive tank is not enough to succeed on the battlefield. You need to be able to properly develop your car, skillfully complete it, and also understand its advantages and disadvantages in order to fight, destroy opponents and stay alive. Each of the machines has its own strategies, which can be more or less successful. Naturally, everything also largely depends on the player himself - many tanks require a lot of practice and skill to control. But still, without proper development, any tank, even in the most capable hands, will be ineffective. For example, we can take the Soviet heavy tank IS-3, which is very popular with World of Tanks players. This vehicle has fairly high speed and a lot of firepower, but you can't even imagine what kind of threat it will pose if properly manned. So, what kind of equipment to put on the IS-3 so that this tank turns into something incredible?
gun
Already the original gun, with which the model is sold in the store, can please a novice tank lover. Pretty high armor penetration, good damage, high rate of fire - all this makes even the stock IS-3 a powerful tank. But what equipment to put on the IS-3 to make it even better? You can start by reducing the caliber to 100 millimeters, but at the same time, the D-10T cannon will increase in rate of fire, will not get the widest spread, and most importantly, will bring the aiming time on this tank to a possible minimum. But this is not the most optimal weapon, you can put the D-25T instead - here the rate of fire increases only slightly, but the damage and caliber do not fall so critically. But the best weapon for this tank is the BL-9, this gun increases penetration, rate of fire, and also minimizes the spread of shells. So, everything is clear here - it's time to figure out what equipment to put on the IS-3.
Tower selection
The tank's stock turret gives it only 175 millimeters of frontal armor. If you decide to keep it, then you will have to think hard about what equipment to put on the IS-3, since you will have to somehow compensate for such a thickness of armor. This is quite difficult to do, so it is better to purchase an improved tower, in which the thickness of the armor will increase to 250 millimeters, and besides, another twenty meters of viewing radius will be added. However, the turret traverse speed drops slightly, but this is easier to compensate than almost a full centimeter of armor. If you look at the original IS-3 tank, the photos will make you impressed - it was a powerful machine that made the enemies terrified. In capable hands in World of Tanks, the IS-3 also instills fear in opponents.
Is it worth changing the engine?
The original IS-3 engine is also quite good, but still worth replacing. FROM new version engine power will increase by fifty horsepower, which will allow him to add speed. The IS-3 tank, whose photo is already making one feel respect for it, is initially quite fast for a heavy model, but with the new engine it becomes even more dangerous. Moreover, the probability of a fire is reduced by three percent, and the weight of this motor is also fifty kilograms less. In the World of Tanks game, the IS-3 is a threat in any garb, but if it is properly and maximally pumped, then anyone will be in trouble.
Installation of a new running gear
The stock undercarriage bears the name of the tank itself, but it can be replaced with a new one, to the marking of which the letter M is added. But what does this give? Should I change it Not in the first place, but it is still necessary to change it, because in the game "World of Tanks" the IS-3 boasts of its agility. The new undercarriage will allow him to carry three tons more, which can positively affect the outcome of any battle. Moreover, the vehicle becomes more agile, as its turning speed increases, which can also play an important role in combat. A review of the IS-3 tank so far shows that in the maximum configuration it is becoming more and more intimidating. What will give him a change of radio?
Possible radio receivers
The stock radio on the IS-3 is not particularly impressive - it only works at a distance of 440 meters. That is, if you are too far from your comrades, then the vaunted review of the IS-3 tank will not help you - the enemies you see will not be displayed on the radars of your comrades-in-arms, and you will have to fight on your own. Therefore, it is very important that you change the radio to a more quality model. At level 9, you will be able to install a radio that will transmit a signal over 600 meters, and at level 10, you will have a chance to maximize this aspect of your tank, as you will unlock a model with a communication range of 730 meters. Then teamwork will be implemented at the highest level. World of Tanks is a game that requires interaction between comrades. And if you go into battle as a group single tanks, then it will be much more difficult for you to win than if you fought in a close team in which maximum understanding reigns.
Installation of additional equipment
As you know, each tank has three slots for installation. Some useful objects that are useful in battle can be placed there. Given the fact that you need to focus on firepower as the leader of the IS-3, you can choose a rather interesting kit. First of all, install a rammer, which increases the rate of fire of the gun, which is very important if you do not decide to stick with the D-10T gun. Then be sure to use heavy duty drives, as they will guarantee faster convergence, which is one of your machine's weakest points. Do not forget about ventilation, as the crew plays a big role in this car, and without ventilation it will not be as effective. The installation of additional equipment is not a universal process, that is, it cannot be said that the above-mentioned set is one hundred percent winning. You need to look at the circumstances, because there are plenty of equipment options, and you will have plenty to choose from.
Advantages of the tank
So, the IS-3 is a model that can be used both for defense and for attack, but it looks best in the role of high-speed support, preferably from the flanks. Among the main advantages that can be noted in this tank is excellent armor, which you can make even better. But still, the most important thing is the power of the gun and high speed. Also, do not forget about the good agility of this tank, which gives it more freedom of action on the battlefield.
Tank Disadvantages
However, it's worth saying. that the IS-3 also has certain disadvantages that have to be reckoned with. For example, many complain about the low viewing range. The biggest problem with the IS-3 is, of course, the aiming speed. However, you can normalize this with the help of reinforced drives and experienced and skillful control of the machine. Otherwise, this tank is more than good, and with the right development, it becomes a great attacking support force that any opponent has to reckon with. The IS-3 can impose a fight on its own, but it looks best when there are more powerful tanks, as well as light models - in general, in a group offensive.
Every player in World of Tanks must remember - strengths tanks can and should be strengthened. Weaknesses, respectively, must be eradicated. It is possible to achieve technical balance in the car with the help of the crew (its skills and abilities), equipment and equipment..
Stock pocket does not pull
After purchasing the first tanks of levels 2-3, purchase equipment. Removable at least. It includes: a camouflage net, a stereo tube and a tool box. They are transferred from vehicle to vehicle without the need for dismantling, paid for in gold. Therefore, you should not buy a dozen camouflage nets or stereo tubes. A couple of copies are enough.
camouflage net(MC) reduces the visibility of a stationary machine. The action is activated 3 seconds after stopping. MS adds: 15% invisibility for anti-tank self-propelled guns; 10% for light tanks (LT) and medium tanks; 5% for artillery and heavy tanks. MS is useful for covert and positional combat inherent in tank destroyers, as well as passive reconnaissance of LTs. The mass of MS is 100 kg and the price is 100,000 credits.
Stereoscopic telescope adds 25% to the view from a stationary car (no more than 445 meters). It allows you to detect the enemy before he you. The right of the first shot is an important advantage in the game. The stereo tube, like the MC, is suitable for playing tank destroyers or LT. It is also good because it eliminates the disadvantage of many tanks - a low viewing radius. It's a pity that the properties of this useful item are not summed up with coated optics. Stereotube weight - 50 kg, price - 500,000 credits.
Toolbox Increases damage repair speed by 25%. Often it is installed while the crew is pumping the repair skill, and then removed. The weight of the box is considerable - 100 kg, and the cost is even more so - 500,000.
Sophisticated equipment
It is dismantled from the car only for 10 units of game gold or after destruction. For this reason, experienced tankers keep a handful of gold in reserve. In the name of economy, carefully consider the need for a particular module on your favorite tank. It's not rubber.
Springs are divided into many types specified in the Wot Wiki. Their main tasks are to increase the carrying capacity of the undercarriage and mitigate damage when falling, so the springs are useful in two cases. First, they allow you to install a (heavier) cannon or turret if you don't have enough experience to research the undercarriage. Secondly, insure easy and fast tank from heavy damage when falling from hills and hills. The cost of springs varies from 20,000 to 600,000 credits. Not to say that this is the most useful equipment in World of Tanks, but sometimes it makes sense to install them on a temporary basis.
Anti-fragmentation lining- Another type of equipment that is not very popular. It increases the tank's protection against high-explosive artillery shells and reduces the risk of shell shock to crew members by 20/25/30/50%, depending on the type of lining. The cost is graded from 50,000 to 750,000. Buying such a thing is reasonable only for massive vehicles, often suffering from accented artillery fire. However, it is better to save space for more useful accessories.
Improved ventilation(Class 1-3) Adds 5% to all crew skills. An excellent choice for those who want to gain an edge in combat. The equipment is not available only for machines with an open cabin. The cost jumps from 50,000 to 600,000 credits, and the weight is 100/150/200 kilograms. Improved ventilation should be installed on any tank, regardless of the style of play. What for? Then, that reloading is faster, visibility is better, and movements are more maneuverable. Combined with the Combat Brotherhood skill, commander bonus and premium equipment, you can increase the standard characteristics of the vehicle by 32%.
Wet ammo rack adds 50% durability to… ammo rack. Everything is simple. Not the most necessary equipment in the game, but in isolated cases it can help.
Rammer sometimes howitzer and gun, while dividing into medium and large calibers. It reduces the gun reload time by 10%. It is a pity that a useful device does not shine for drum-loading tanks. The exceptions are: 59-16, Type 5 Chi-Ri and Spahpanzer SP I C. And because these vehicles have an alternative cannon with a standard reload. The cost of a rammer varies from 200,000 to 600,000 credits and you should not feel sorry for them. Faster reloading - more shots - higher amount of damage - more serious contribution to victory.
Additional lugs in most cases - a waste of 250,000 credits. One of the most useless and rarely used types of equipment. Increases patency on soft and medium soils, but has severe restrictions on the types of equipment. Grousers are placed only on 12 cars, and then mostly German ones. Use the driver's skill "King of the Road" instead.
Filling CO2 tanks adds 50% durability to tanks, reducing the risk of fire by the same amount. Becomes available from Tier VI. The equipment shares the “honorable” place due to uselessness with lugs and the Cyclone filter. It is useful for those whose tank burns in every battle, like a witch at the stake of the Inquisition. The rest is recommended to use the "Cleanliness and Order" skill.
coated optics- the most useful item that adds 10% to the viewing radius and works in motion, unlike a stereo tube. It is possible to put optics on any tank. "Blind" machines need it for obvious reasons. "Vigilant" will elevate the ability to detect the enemy to the absolute. Typically, optics are installed on medium and light tanks, whose task is to search for the enemy. It costs 500,000 credits.
Vertical stabilizer installed on light, medium and heavy tanks of Tier VIII-X, as well as in some vehicles of a lower rank. The module reduces the spread of the gun when moving and turning the turret, i.e. increases accuracy on the move. It costs from 500,000 to 600,000 credits. Its purchase is strictly recommended for fans of Soviet and American ST or TT.
Reinforced pickup drives- a necessary thing for any tanker. Regrettably, most of the guns converge slowly, and the drives reduce this disadvantage by 10%. For some machines, this equipment turns from a panacea into a dope, increasing the already fast mixing to obscene speeds. It's not worth half a kingdom, but half a million for sure.
Cyclone filter increases engine durability by 50% with a limit on Soviet tanks and is infinitely far from the "Best Selling" status. So he's not worth his 500,000 credits.
Summing up and giving advice
Not all equipment is equally useful and effective. The most important thing for a player is to choose the perfect kit for a particular car, revealing its full potential. Let's take, for example, an "American" Tier X without obvious disadvantages - T110E5. Good stabilization of the gun is complemented by a vertical stabilizer. Fast reload accelerated by a gun rammer. Crew skills increase after installing improved ventilation. As a result, the T110E5 becomes even more accurate, faster and more dangerous for the enemy. The Soviet Tier VIII heavyweight IS-3, on the other hand, has disadvantages. However, the slow convergence of the gun is leveled by the aiming drives, poor shooting on the move by the stabilizer, and slow reloading by the large-caliber rammer.
Last tip: don't spend a huge amount of credits on buying modules, but try to wait for holiday promotions from Wargaming. Discounts on equipment will allow you to replenish your own warehouse, significantly saving on purchases.
Bonds (currency in World of Tanks) takes a very long time to farm, and for many it will take several seasons of ranked to buy their first module (improved equipment). And here it is extremely important not to miscalculate with the purchase and for which tank to choose equipment.
We also draw your attention to the fact that 200 bonds will be required for the removal of advanced equipment. Consider all available modules in ascending order of usefulness.
Action: Increases repair speed by 40%.
Price: 3,000 bonds
Purchase feasibility: -5 /10
There is one important nuance here: a couple of patches ago, the equipment became “complex”. That is, this useless rubbish is now being removed for 200 bonds.In terms of usefulness, in the case of 99% of tanks, even “ordinary” equipment will be more useful.From 1 to 10, the expediency and profitability of such a purchase is about the same as lighting a cigar from $100 bills.
Worth buying if you hate those damn victories and love to endure pain on all tanks. BDSM in short….
Application example: T110E3 with a swung crew and a gold strap.
An example of the most correct application: Leave it "on the store shelf".
Action:Increases Aiming Speed by 12.5%.
Price: 5,000 bonds
Purchase feasibility: 2 /10
The whole essence of the module is just N AND K CH E M N O Y increase. A quarter better than conventional drives, but there is one BUT - conventional drives also give a penny and are inferior to most modules, they are extremely overestimated by beginners.
Action: Increases view radius by 12.5% up to a maximum of 445m.
Price: 4,000 bonds
Purchase feasibility: 5 /10
Tanks is basically a game about review. Universal module - is placed on any tank, that's the whole point. On some, you can’t put “ventilation” due to open felling; on many, a stub is not placed. Well, the cost below 1000 bonds will not be superfluous.
Action: Reduces reload time by 12.5%.
Price: 5,000 bonds
Purchase feasibility:6 /10
Well, everything is obvious here, DPM is a good and pleasant thing. Let the game with this module may be less effective than with adjusted optics, but definitely more cheerful and enjoyable. It will ideally go to tanks without obvious weaknesses that need to be compensated somehow.
Application example: looks as great as possible on two offhand tanks.
1) The strongest all-rounder of the game is divine (well, maybe blind, only shh!)
2) An aggressor with a superstub, a choice of daring, fast: T-62 / object 140
Complex of stabilization equipment
Action: Reduces spread while moving and turret traverse by 25%.
Price: 5,000 bonds
Purchase feasibility: 9 /10
The module itself is strong and slightly unbalanced in the game, and it becomes doubly hard on drummers. (! the stabilizer greatly affects the aiming time after the shot!)
And if you are a fan of strong drums that do not have time to finish the bullets for CD - this is 100% your choice! The following tanks with a superstub are an example of epic knock-down randoms, try not to be able to tear yourself away!
Bat.-Chatillon 25 t
T57 Heavy Tank
T54E1
and others. This module multiplies the pleasure of fast reels by 3. The author of the article put a bunch of booms on the instruction on the stub - how can I break away?!
Action: Increases the level of mastery of the main specialty, as well as all the skills and abilities of crew members by 7.5%.
Price: 5,000 bonds
Purchase feasibility: 9 /10
Simply a cheat module. Gives a lot: dpm, stub, accuracy, maneuverability, disguise-repair (perks), vision. Thanks to the Murazor department for the fact that the numbers for the modules were taken from the ceiling, in haste!
It has only 1 drawback: it is not placed on tanks with an open cabin.An extremely hard complex buff of all parameters (don't forget that in addition to the parameters in the hangar, tanks have a bunch of hidden ones).Objectively, the subject for breaking the random.
INSTALLATION OF EQUIPMENT ON TANKS
Equipment is a variety of devices represented by systems, assemblies and assemblies that allow you to upgrade equipment, make it more profitable and adjust it to own style games. Properly selected equipment in the World of Tank will help minimize the shortcomings of the machine and enhance its advantages.
TYPES AND DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT
What equipment to put on tanks depends on the characteristics of the equipment itself and on the goals that the player wants to achieve. All these devices are divided into removable and complex. The first move from one machine to another without any special restrictions. You can get rid of complex equipment only for an additional fee.
TYPES AND CHARACTERISTICS OF REMOVABLE EQUIPMENT IN TANKS
As a rule, they are included in inexpensive packages and have a convenient configuration that you choose at your discretion. An important condition is that the slots for additional equipment on the tank must not be empty.
Stereoscopic telescope
Adds 25% to the vision of a stationary vehicle. Sometimes the advantage of this device is decisive, as it gives tactical superiority on the battlefield. The downside is that the device only works in a stationary car. Therefore, many players prefer Alternative option- enlightened optics. But with the skillful use of a stereo tube, you can increase your chances of winning well. Especially if the game is played on "blind" vehicles with a view of no more than 330. For melee tanks, such equipment for WOT tanks put is pointless. It will not be needed for self-propelled guns either.
Toolbox
Speed up repairs by 25%. Irreplaceable optional equipment on tanks, where you often need to restore something. For example, on melee vehicles with a large margin of safety. They most often pierce a caterpillar or a gun. And, several times per fight. The box is indispensable in those situations when the crew is pumping repairs, but has not yet reached the 100% mark. Having reached the goal, this lotion can be moved to another tank.
camouflage net
Adds stealth to the car, which is frozen in standby mode. This option allows you to achieve the best characteristics in conjunction with the Disguise skill. They function well in conjunction with a stereo tube, as it is used for passive light. If you do not know what equipment to put on self-propelled guns and tank destroyers, then the grid may be one of the reasonable options.
COMPLEX EQUIPMENT
If this is on the vehicle, then you can return it only for gold - you will have to pay 10 units of this game currency.
Rammer
Allows you to charge 10% faster. If you set a goal and find what equipment is better to put on a tank, then this lotion will be among the leaders. One of the most useful acquisitions, as it increases the rate of fire. It is used on almost all tanks and self-propelled guns, including the most specific models. If you don’t know what additional equipment to put on art, then this will be the best solution. Perhaps, there is no need for it only in those machines where the rate of fire is already quite good.
Reinforced pickup drives
Adds 10% to Aim Speed. This equipment for tanks in World of Tanks is designed for vehicles that mainly shoot from a place - self-propelled guns, Soviet vehicles. Perhaps the best equipment for art in WoT. For the rest of the equipment, it is more expedient to install the next unit on the list.
Vertical stabilizer
Reduces 20% spread while moving and turning. The lotion is used by no means only when shooting on the move. This is a universal device for medium tanks firing from behind cover. Because you have to turn the tower a lot, switching from target to target. With a stabilizer, mixing will take less time and the shot will be more accurate. This is one of the most reasonable answers to the question of what advanced equipment to put on tanks of any level.
coated optics
Adds 10% to the review. The review in the game decides a lot, allowing you to detect enemy equipment before the enemy detects us. This is not as much as a stereo tube can add, but the optics are constantly on, unlike a stereo tube, which turns on three seconds after stopping. Many players, when deciding which equipment to put on a tank, opt for it. Everyone basically puts optics on light and medium tanks, but some gamers put this equipment on tank destroyers with high DPM.
Improved ventilation
All players are wondering what equipment to put on a light tank? What equipment to put on a medium tank? Of course, a valve, as everyone calls ventilation. It adds +5% to all crew skills. Together with the Combat Brotherhood and an additional ration, it can significantly improve the characteristics of the vehicle. This equipment is also perfect for heavy tanks, especially at medium levels.
Anti-fragmentation lining
When players decide what equipment they put on heavy tanks, the owners of heavy and inactive vehicles talk first of all about lining. It will allow you to absorb from 15 to 50% of damage from artillery and ram HEs.
Wet ammo rack, CO2 tank filling
Often one enemy shot can blow up your car due to the explosion of the ammo rack, or set it on fire. To prevent this from happening, players use these gadgets, which increase the durability of ammo racks and fuel tanks by 50%. Filling tanks with CO2 reduces the chance of tank damage and fire resulting from it. It makes sense to install such a module, for example, in the T-34-85, KV-1S and some other machines.
Reinforced suspension
Players put this equipment mainly on stock vehicles, preferring to open a more powerful weapon instead of running gear. But the stock chassis will not allow you to install a new weapon due to the low carrying capacity. You can increase the carrying capacity just with a reinforced suspension, which adds 10% to it.
