Vehicle Upgrade System – Clarification on Armor Protection and Performance Improvements

[Rufus]

Hello, good day!

I was hoping a developer / staff member could provide some clarification regarding the vehicle upgrade system, particularly the Armor, Engine, and Suspension upgrades.

 

1. Armor Upgrades (20%–100%)

Do these upgrades primarily improve a vehicle's durability against collisions and general wear, reducing the frequency of repairs, or do they also provide protection against gunfire?

For example:

• Does upgrading the armor improve the vehicle's resistance to bullets?

• Does it provide additional ballistic protection for occupants while driving?

• Can the vehicle offer effective cover during a firefight, particularly when taking cover behind it?

 

2. Engine, Suspension, and Other Upgrades

Would it also be possible to receive a general breakdown of the remaining vehicle upgrades and their benefits? Specifically, I'm interested in understanding the actual performance improvements, ideally expressed as percentages where applicable.

• For instance, how much does an engine upgrade improve acceleration or top speed? What measurable benefits does upgrading the suspension provide?

 

3. General Purpose

I regularly operate a Sdkfz 222 Scout Car for patrols / security operations.. Understanding these upgrades would help me make informed purchasing decisions and ensure that my investments meaningfully contribute to my faction's operational effectiveness.

 

Thank you very much for your time and consideration. I genuinely appreciate the work the development team puts into the server, and any clarification would be greatly appreciated!
