 Hull usually houses driving compartment (Driver or driver and assistant driver/radio operator) and engine compartment, plus of course part of the fighting compartment and ammunition storage. Hull usually houses driving compartment (Driver or driver and assistant driver/radio operator) and engine compartment, plus of course part of the fighting compartment and ammunition storage.
  
?'''Ammunition Storage''' - usually dubbed Ammo Rack for short, the function is clear: To store and to protect ammunition. However many compromises have to be made with regards to the amount of ammunition, thus ammo rack is always a weak part of any tank.+'''Ammo Rack''' - ammunition storage, the function is clear: To store and to protect ammunition.

 '''Armor''' - Basic attribute of tank, armor grants it protection from enemy fire. Armor has usually varying thickness and slopes and is usually split into front armor (incl. '''glacis'''), side armor (often split between upper and lower with different thicknesses/slopes) and rear armor. '''Armor''' - Basic attribute of tank, armor grants it protection from enemy fire.

 '''Hatch''' - Means to access crew seats in the tank. Whereas roof hatches are usually well hidden, driver's hatch is sometimes located on the tank '''glacis''' as on T-34. '''Hatch''' - Means to access crew seats in the tank.

?'''Idler Wheel''' - Part of the running gear of tank, idler wheel serves to propel the tracks. Damage to it can immobilise tank (see Wittmann's Villers-Bocage adventure).+'''Idler Wheel''' - Part of the running gear of tank, idler wheel serves to propel the tracks. Damage to it can immobilise tank (see Wittmann's Villers-Bocage adventure). Especially important for changes in detracking mechanics in 6.4.
  
 '''Periscope''' - Periscopic devices were used to provide visibility with closed hatches without need to have a '''vision slit''' in tank's glacis/walls, thus removing said weak spots. '''Periscope''' - Periscopic devices were used to provide visibility with closed hatches without need to have a '''vision slit''' in tank's glacis/walls, thus removing said weak spots.

 '''Sponson''' - Part of tank hull located above tracks. Often used to store ammunition, in some cases also to mount tank's armament. This is most prominent on M3 Lee, where the main tank's armament is sponson-mounted. '''Sponson''' - Part of tank hull located above tracks.

?'''Suspension''' - Means of toning down vehicle movement with various bumps on the road. In WWII, spring suspension or torsion bar suspension were usually used, though many tanks used also Christie suspension (most prominently BT series and T-34). Suspension limits how much weight can the tank carry without serious penalties to mobility.+'''Suspension''' - Means of suppressing vehicle shaking with various bumps on the road.

 '''Transmission''' - Transfers power from the engine to '''idler wheels''', includes gearbox allowing switching gears. In game treated as part of engine, that's why German and US tanks suffer front hull engine damage so often. Also cause why they are taller than T-34 family. '''Transmission''' - Transfers power from the engine to '''idler wheels''', includes gearbox allowing switching gears.

 The fighting compartment of AFVs contains vehcle's primary armament and, usually, is located in a distinct fixed superstructure or, in case of tanks, in rotating turret. Usual crew of the fighting compartment includes vehicle commander, gunner and loader, however these functions can be combined - extreme case is for example French Hotchkiss 38H, where Commander also performed the role of gunner, loader and radio operator. The fighting compartment of AFVs contains vehcle's primary armament and, usually, is located in a distinct fixed superstructure or, in case of tanks, in rotating turret.

?'''Ammunition Ready Rack''' - usually dubbed Ammo Rack for short, the function is clear: To store ammunition close at hand for the crew, where it it easy to access. this however meand the ammunition is generally exposed to spalling/fire in case of penetration and thus presents even bigger threat than normal ammunition storage. Thus ready racks present a careful balance between risk of blowing up and risk of running out of quickly accessible ammunition in the middle of a firefight.+

However many compromises have to be made with regards to the amount of ammunition, thus ammo rack is always a weak part of any tank. Ready ammo rack, usually found in turret, was in most tanks totally unprotected and thus very vulnerable.
  
 '''Armor''' - Basic attribute of tank, armor grants it protection from enemy fire. Armor has usually varying thickness and slopes and is usually split into front armor (incl. '''mantlet'''), side armor and rear armor. Turret armor is always more exposed than hull armor, especially if vehicle is fighting from hull-down positions. In case of rotating turret it also presents even more compromises than hull armor, as it influences the balance and thus turning of the turret - for example this is the reason PzKpfw IV ended war with just 50mm front turret armor. '''Armor''' - Basic attribute of tank, armor grants it protection from enemy fire.
