Modules

Modules are special elements of a tank, the purpose of which is to protect your war machine from enemy fire. The modules have no visual effect or texture on your tank, however, if you press and hold the R key in battle, you can see which modules your opponents are using, as well as exactly how much protection they provide. You can only use one module on your tank at a time, but nothing is stopping you from changing the modules (as well as any other part of the tank) mid-battle to better protect yourself from your opponents’ weapons.
Modules are divided into four categories: Single (protection from one turret), Double, Triple and Legacy Modules, the latter being given to players after the so-called «Disintegration» update, which separated the paints and their protections on the 14th of July 2016.

Module Mechanics

Modules work by reducing incoming damage. This is useful to remember in battles, since if you shoot at an enemy far away and see that you are dealing less damage then usual, it means that the enemy is using a protection module with protection from your turret and/or a Double Armour supply, unless you are using a gun like Thunder, which deals less damage at greater distances.

Modules reduce all types of damage from turrets, including Firebird's afterburn, Railgun's piecing shots and any turret's splash damage. This also includes self-damage from your own turret, so it is advisable to equip a module with protection from your own turret, if it has high splash damage (e.g. Magnum). A notable exception is Vulcan, which needs to have a module with Firebird protection equipped in order to protect itself from its own overheating damage. Also keep in mind that having an Isida module equipped does NOT reduce the effectiveness of friendly Isidas when repairing your tank.

LGC Modules

LGC (which stands for “Legacy”) Modules are those modules given to players after the so-called «Disintegration» update. Among those modules there are certain ones with protection from four turrets at once. The Legacy modules are impossible to obtain now, so they are only in possession of those players who purchased them before the update. They don’t have M0-M3 modifications, but can still be micro-upgraded. It’s also worth noting that their protection values (with MUs or without) are mostly uneven, unlike new modules. If you see a player with a Legacy module with a certain protection from your turret, it does not mean that they have the same level of protection from all other turrets in their module.

S - D - T Modules

Module M0

Module M1

Module M2

Module M3

New modules (i.e. those which you can now buy in the garage) have four modifications, each of which has fixed protection values from all turrets in the module: М0 — 10%, М1 — 15%, М2 — 25%, М3 — 35%. Each module of a particular modification can be upgraded to the protection level of the next module using micro-upgrades, while fully upgraded M3 modules provide 50% protection. Keep in mind that micro-upgrading modules at M0, M1 and M2 stages is a lot more expensive than waiting for the next modification to unlock, but it gives you an advantage in battle, since you gain those extra percent of protection at a lower rank.

S - D - T Modules classification

The name of any module available for purchase in the Garage is composed of three components: 1. Group name — Eagle, Ocelot, Lion, etc. Modules with the same name have a similar protective “speciality” and are meant to be used against certain types of weapons – melee range, short range, medium range, long range. For example, “Eagles” and “Falcons” protect mainly from long range guns like Shaft and Railgun, while “Ocelots” protect from short range weapons like Firebird.

• Single Modules
  • Fox — for melee combat
  • Wolf — for short range fights
  • Dolphin — for medium range fights
  • Falcon — for long range fights
  • Spider — for parkour

• Double Modules
  • Ocelot — mostly for melee combat
  • Panther — mostly for short range fights
  • Orka — mostly for medium range fights
  • Eagle — mostly for long range fights
  • Panda — for fights on short and medium range

• Triple Modules
  • Badger — mostly for melee combat
  • Lion — mostly for short range
  • Shark — mostly for medium range
  • Grizzly — for melee combat, as well as short-medium range
  • Ursa — for short, medium and long range
  • Griffon — for medium and long range
  • Kodiak — universal protection for all ranges

2. The identification of a module’s category by number of protections — For example, all modules with protection from three turrets have a code letter T in their name, in front of the dash.

• S — Single — with protection from one turret
• D — Double — with protection from two turrets
• T — Triple — with protection from three turrets

3. The place number within a category — Latin letters A, B, C, D and so on, after the dash.

Rare Modules

The "Rare Modules" are special, incredibly hard-to-obtain modules that protect from every turret and mines. These modules are given only to specific tankers, as follow:

• Spectrum M-A 25% — owners of Champion paint;
• Spectrum M-B 20% — owners of Impulse, Silver, Acid, Star or Helper paint;
• Spectrum M-C 15% — owners of Bronze paint.

In addition to these "Rare Modules", there is an unique module, given only to the user sidlob, owner of the Lord paint — 50%.
