Modules and Modifications are upgrades that can be unlocked and purchased either by earning research points {{rp}} with a vehicle and then purchasing it with silver lions {{sl}}, or by paying golden eagles {{ge}} to research and purchase the modification instantly. All of the modifications vary on the increase (or decrease) of the statistical and literal performance.

Modifications are upgrades that can be unlocked and purchased either by earning [[Research Points|research points]] {{rp}} with a vehicle and then purchasing it with [[Silver Lions|silver lions]] {{sl}}, or by paying [[Golden Eagles|golden eagles]] {{ge}} to research and purchase the modification instantly.

__TOC__

When all modifications in a tier are unlocked, an amount of vehicle research points is awarded. The award corresponds to 20% of the total RP cost for that tier. For example, if there are 4 modifications of 1,500 RP each, the award is 0.2 x 6,000 = 1,200 RP. While this award is minimal for low-rank vehicles (a few hundred RP), it can become consequential with top-tier vehicles (several thousands of RP). This award is received when each tier is completed (4 tiers in total). Furthermore, the award is not impacted by [[Research_Points#Multipliers|research efficiency and other multipliers]].

Latest revision as of 13:35, 30 August 2023

Modifications are upgrades that can be unlocked and purchased either by earning research points Rp icon.png with a vehicle and then purchasing it with silver lions Sl icon.png, or by paying golden eagles Ge icon.png to research and purchase the modification instantly. All of the modifications vary on the increase (or decrease) of the statistical and literal performance.

When all modifications in a tier are unlocked, an amount of vehicle research points is awarded. The award corresponds to 20% of the total RP cost for that tier. For example, if there are 4 modifications of 1,500 RP each, the award is 0.2 x 6,000 = 1,200 RP. While this award is minimal for low-rank vehicles (a few hundred RP), it can become consequential with top-tier vehicles (several thousands of RP). This award is received when each tier is completed (4 tiers in total). Furthermore, the award is not impacted by research efficiency and other multipliers.

Air Forces

There are three different categories of modifications for aircraft: Flight performance, Survivability, and Weaponry.

Planes

Flight Performance

These modifications improve the flight characteristics of the aircraft, with varying degrees of success. They will generally increase maximum speed and rate of climb, as well as decreasing the turn time of the aircraft.

Mods aerodinamic fuse.png Fuselage repair Decreases the drag coefficient.
Mods radiator.png Radiator Improves the cooling system in the engine.
Mods compressor.pngMods jet compressor.png Compressor Increases overall engine performance by increasing its horsepower/thrust.
Mods aerodinamic wing.png Wings repair Reduces drag, and increases lift efficiency coefficient.
Mods new engine.pngMods jet engine.png Engine Adds horsepower/thrust.
Mods metanol.png Engine injection Increases efficiency of the engine throttle.
Mods g suit.png G-Suit Allows the crew to experience greater G-force overload before "blacking out".
Mods booster.png New boosters Increases flight control assistance, allowing full input at higher speeds, resulting in less locking-up of the ailerons, elevators, and/or rudders. This modification is mainly found on jet aircraft.
Mods oil.png X octane fuel Allows the engine to run at higher settings to increase power output.

Survivability

These modifications strengthen the aircraft, allowing the aircraft to potentially survive for longer. They may also improve the flight characteristics of the aircraft, through weight and drag reduction.

Mods armor frame.png Airframe Adds 10% construction strength, reduces weight.
Mods armor cover.png Cover Adds 5% construction strength, reduces weight.
Mods bulletproof vest.png Protective vest Partially protects crew members from shells and flak fragmentation, typically found on heavy bombers.
Mods armor glas.png Armored glass Increases the thickness of the armoured windscreen.
Mods armor back.png Rear armor plate Adds armour to protect the pilot, typically found on USSR aircraft.
Mods engine extinguisher.pngMods jet engine extinguisher.png Engine Fire System Allows you to put out engine fires.

Weaponry

These modifications allow to customize your weaponry of your aircraft. This also includes unlocking of new suspended ordnance or different configurations of the aircraft's offensive armament.

Mods ammo.png Offensive X mm Unlocks a choice of ammunition belts for the particular gun calibre.
Mods weapon.pngMods cannon.png New X mm MGs/cannons Replaces the old MG/cannon with new parts, or a whole new gun. This decreases the bullet spread and failure rate (chance of overheating/jamming) of the gun.
Mods ammo.png Turret X mm Unlocks a choice of ammunition belts for defensive turrets of the particular gun calibre.
Mods turret gun.png New X mm MGs/cannons (turret) Similar to "New X mm MGs/cannons", but only applies to turret-mounted armament.
Mods cannon.pngMods gunpods.png Cannons
Machine guns
Gunpods 		Allows you to install different or additional cannons, either within the airframe or externally (gunpods).
Mods pilon bomb.pngMods laser guided bomb.png Bombs Allows you to equip different or additional suspended armament.
Mods agm missile.pngMods air to air missile.png Missiles
Mods pilon rocket.pngMods pilon block rocket.png Rockets
Mods pilon torpedo.pngMods air naval mine.png Torpedoes
