Equipment (WoWP)
Equipment improves the effectiveness of the plane in combat. Unlike consumables, equipment is a one-time cost addition, with each having its own advantage; however, they come at a high cost. Equipment availability and costs vary by tier, class, and nation.
Equipment can only be used on the plane it is installed on. If you want to use it on another plane, you need to demount it first. This option is available when clicking on the installed equipment on the Upgrade screen. Demounting removes the item from your plane and sends it to your Depot.
Purchasing from your plane's Upgrade screen is the best way to ensure compatibility. Only use the Depot to purchase equipment for planes you don't own yet if you have a firm understanding of the equipment system.
With respect to demounting equipment, some equipment costs gold to demount:
- Removable Equipment can be demounted at no cost for re-use.
- Complex Equipment is permanently installed to your plane. This is indicated in game by a gold nut on the equipment icon. Complex equipment can be removed or disposed of in one of three ways:
- Pay 10 gold to demount the equipment and return it to the depot (from where it can later be mounted on another tank)
- Destroy the equipment, which frees the equipment slot, but no compensation is given for the lost equipment.
- Sell the plane with the equipment mounted, which will return to you half the current purchase price of the equipment in credits.
