Hi guys, currently in game there are quite a few British vehicles that should have the ESS module. They are as follows: Cromwell V (RP-3), Black Prince, Churchill VII, Comet I, Comet I “Iron Duke”, Churchill Crocodile, Challenger, Sherman Firefly, Avenger, Crusader AA MK II, Crusader AA MK I, Crusader MK III, Cromwell V, Archer and the Valentine MK XI. The reason they should have the modification is that they are all fitted with the British rear smoke dischargers, which once electronically ignited by the driver project a smoke trail in just the same manner as ESS for about a minute and a half, please find affixed additional documentation:

For the vehicles individual bug reports please have a gander here:

Just noticed these on the rear of the Comet (gib Comet B), how interesting it would be to have ESS at a BR where every vehicle isn’t equipped with thermals!

cue british vehicles just spewing diesel smoke everywhere from BR 3.7 to top tier

Aye it was standard issue for british tanks more or less from the get go in ww2 after the fall of france. There was also a upgrade kit to give ESS to radial shermans/ m3 lee/grants though i need more documentation on that before i can bug report it
