Highly recommended for many Tank Destroyers, particularly turreted ones as turret rotation doesn't break the bonus.

Recommended for Tank Destroyers and passive scouts.

Particularly useful if your crew does not have a high repair skill of their own yet. Most people buy the Toolbox for faster repair of their tank's tracks, which is very important as an immobile tank is easy prey for SPG and sniping tanks.

A higher load limit does not improve acceleration, traverse rates, or anything else. It just increases the max. weight capacity; this can very useful as temporary equipment on higher tier tanks to avoid researching the suspension to get turret and gun upgrades sooner. For permanent usage, the more useful aspect of this equipment is the increase in suspension hit points, which makes your tank harder to de-track. It also reduces damage you take from falling, which can be useful for those who frequently like to take 'shortcuts' on maps.

The Wear-Resistant Gun Laying Drive is especially useful on certain guns which have a very long aim time, reducing aiming time by 12.5%. GLDs are highly recommended for Self-Propelled Guns. On vehicles which can mount vertical stabilizers, use a GLD in combination with a Vertical Stabilizer for maximum aim time reduction, but vertical stabilizers are generally considered more beneficial than GLDs when available. This is compatible for every vehicle that can apply a gun laying drive, this cannot be combined with a gun laying drive, but the effect can be increased further through the use of the Aim Tuning directive

Venting System increases by 7.5% the crew qualification and crew skills. Not available on open-topped vehicles. This is compatible for every vehicle that can apply improved ventilation of any class, this cannot be combined with improved ventilation or applied on open-topped vehicles, but the effect can be increased further through the use of the Vent Purge directive, and using the food/drink for the respective nation of vehicle.

Stabilizing Equipment System decreases a guns accuracy penalties, note it does not effect the accuracy rating of the gun. This is compatible for every vehicle that can apply a Vertical Stabilizer, this cannot be combined with a Vertical Stabilizer, but the effect can be increased further through the use of the Stabilizer Greasing directive.

Innovative Loading System increases the loading speed and cause a 12.5% decrease to the manual hand-loading time. Rammers are highly recommended for every vehicle. This is compatible for every vehicle that can apply a rammer, this cannot be combined with a gun rammer or applied on auto-loading vehicles, but the effect can be increased further through the use of the orderly ammo rack directive.

The bonus is applied at all times, making this equipment better suited for aggressive and scouting players. Recommended for aggressive medium and light tanks, especially at high tiers. This cannot be combined with coated optics, but the effect can be increased further through the use of the Optical Calibration directive.

Particularly useful if your crew does not have a high repair skill of their own yet. Most people buy the Toolbox for faster repair of their tank's tracks, which is very important as an immobile tank is easy prey for SPG and sniping tanks. This cannot be combined with a toolbox, but the effect can be increased further through the use of the Pre-Battle Maintenance directive.
