The new modules added to certain tanks are supposed to make them less survivable, which sometomes works - like with the HSTV-L, and sometimes doesn’t - like the Soviet MBTs (autoloader eats shells instead of exploading), 35mm SPAAs (Gepard and ItPsV Leopard absorbing rounds to the turret, instead of, well, exploading), and some more could be mentioned.
But there is one exception: the Namer 30. This 64 ton machine is classified as a ‘light tank’, so it has those new modules inside. They gave it almost none of it’s real armor, so anything penatrates it frontally, and even if you somehow manage to survive a shot - your ‘FCS’ module won’t, which means you can’t fire back. And all of this comes due to the classification of a vehicle that doesn’t have neither it’s real armor nor mobilty as a ‘light tank’, while giving it the full weight of it’s armor. COOL.
Gaijin has to fix this ASAP.
Snail care about Israel as much as they care about French…

The additional modules is the pure sauce of the inexistence of bias in War Thunder. As the 2S38 and the Schützenpanzer PUMA would first receive new modules, Gaijin quickly announced more additional modules for new and existing vehicles, people asked, Gaijin gave, now people complain, I doubt they’ll step back.
One of the biggest issues with the issues with the new modules are turret baskets, which Gaijin has done a terrible job of modeling. The issue is on a ton of vehicles, like the Shilka and HSTV-L. They seem to think that they are turret drives, which is just wrong. Turret baskets protect the crew from shrapnel and from being injured when the turret is rotating, as well as making it so the crew doesn’t have to move themselves with the turret as it moves. Only the KF41 has it modeled correctly, last I checked.
