Pilots and Tankers!

Tanks are not only made out of cannons, tracks and armour! While these vital components will definitely keep you fighting, there are other elements and game mechanics in War Thunder that are related to the Ground Forces. Today, we will explore the less frequently used but definitely useful other gadgets that you can access while going to battle in your favourite tank!

Which gadget is the most useful to you personally and which one do you use the least? Share your comments with other tankers on the forums!
