Vehicle Subsystems

Certain armored vehicles have subsystems that can potentially be disabled when taking damage on specific locations. The crew of the vehicle will see particular Status Effects icons in the top left of their screen when a specific subsystem is disabled.

Subsystem Types

Fuel System

  • Location: Rear
  • Disable State: Ruptured Fuel Tank FuelTank Subsystem UI Icon.png
    • Causes fuel to drain at a very fast rate, even when not accelerating
    • A puddle of oil starts to form on the ground under the fuel system


Currently only Tanks have Fuel Subsystems that can be disabled.

Turret

  • Location: turret/top
  • Disable State: Disabled Turret Turret Subsystem UI Icon.png
    • Prevents turret from turning
    • Prevents turret from firing
    • Black smoke comes out of the turret


Machine guns that are not the primary armament do not count as turrets. (Chieftain and Ranseur 12.7 can be disabled, Bardiche and Highwayman no)

For vehicles with two turrets, each turret is independent and can be disabled separately.

Track System

  • Location: sides/tracks
  • Disabled State: Tracked Track Subsystem UI Icon.png
    • Movement speed and turn rate are significantly reduced
    • Tracks start wobbling whenever the vehicle tries to move


Tracks on the O'Brien v.121 Highlander aren't considered proper Track Systems and as such cannot be disabled.

Unarmored tracked vehicles also cannot get tracked.

Disabling

A projectile that hits a subsystem's location only has a chance to disable it. The percentage chance depends on the subsystem and vehicle type (but most are between 10% and 35%).

Small arms fire, Shrapnel weapons, 12.7mm machine guns as well as projectiles deflected by the vehicle's Tank Armor cannot disable subsystems.

Certain weapons have a higher chance to disable particular subsystems:

Repair

The only way to repair a disabled subsystem is to fully repair the vehicle's health with a Hammer or at a Garage/Shipyard with Basic Materials. Large Ships subsystems need to be repaired at a Dry Dock and cost Naval Shell Platings.
