CTS Wiki:

Damage system:

The damage system is based on modules. When they are hit by shrapnel/shell/explosion they are damaged. Damage is indicated by the color of the module (

green

yellow

orange

red

black

(destroyed)).

Damage interface pops up on the top right when you hit an enemy tank.

Green

indicates pre-contact shell,

red

indicates post-pen shell,

yellow

indicates spall,

blue

indicates ricochet.

Some modules cause negative effects when damaged:

Fuel tank

If set on fire, it will gradually damage modules and crews in a radius. This will also stop repairs.

Track | Wheel

Does not allow the damaged module to move (in case of wheels, gradually reduces the speed, depending on the number of damaged wheels)

Radiator

If broken, the engine will be set on fire if it breaks.

Engine | Transmission

The more damaged they are, the lower your top speed is. Either one stops movement if broken.

Cannon

The more damage, the (negligible) less accuracy and penetration your shots have.

Breech

The more damaged it is, the higher the chance of non-firing, forcing you to wait 5s then reload your gun.

Horizontal drive | Vertical drive

The more damaged it is, the slower the traverse.

Ammunition

When destroyed, it destroys the entire crew along with the tank.

Ammunition can be blowout-protected. This can be checked when inspecting a part and pointing at an ammo hitbox without x-ray.

Secondary

If destroyed, you can't fire a secondary.

APS | APS radar

APS stops working in the sector where it is damaged

Tracking Radar | Search Radar

Inability to track / detect targets

Driver

Losing a driver does not allow you to drive the tank if there is no other living driver.

Gunner

Losing a gunner does not allow the gun to be aimed if there is no other alive gunner.

Loader

Losing a loader incurs a 2x reload penalty. If a turret does not have a loader, that means it is autoloaded.

Ammo types:

There are 2 classes of ammo in the game:
-|

CE (Chemical Energy):

High Explosive: Explodes on contact, which, if penetrated, deals massive damage

HEAT

High Explosive Anti Tank: Generates fewer spall, but does a lot of damage if it hits the module

HESH

High Explosive Squash Head: Same as HE, but has more penetration but less explosive power

ATGM

Anti Tank Guided Missle: HEAT, but can be guided after the shot is fired

KE (Kinetic Energy):

Armor Piercing: Pierces armor, generating shrapnel

APDS

Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot: Better at penetrating sloped armor than AP, but generates less shrapnel

APFSDS

Armor Piercing Fin Stabilised Discarding Sabot: Same as APDS, but even better at penetrating sloped armor

APHE

Armor Piercing High Explosive: Pierces armor and explodes inside the tank, which does a large amount of damage

When CE rounds penetrate, they travel a set distance before dissipating, creating spall out of penetrated armour. This spall tends to be more sporadic than KE spall, sometimes damaging modules parallel.

When KE rounds penetrate, their penetration only depletes when going through armour. Hence they are not as weak against spaced areas. However, their cone of spall is more focused.

Both have their uses, with KE being more preferred in top tier with the proliferation of composite and spaced armour.

Reload formula:

Guns have a caliber penalty. It affects reloading (the larger the caliber, the longer the reload will be). Here you can calculate the reload time taking into account caliber, gun inital reload and turret reload multiplier:

Game Modes:

All game modes are ticket-based. Depending on the actions on the map, they will decrease. If one team's number of tickets drops to 0, it loses. If time runs out and the teams still have tickets, the team with the most tickets will win.

There are 4 game modes in the game at the moment:

Team Deathmatch

At the beginning of the game, 1000 tickets are given. For each player respawn, 40 tickets are taken away from the team. There are no points in this mode.

Skirmish

At the beginning of the game, 1200 tickets are given. For each player respawn, 20 tickets are taken away from the team. There will be one point in the center of the map. If one team captures it, the opposing team will lose tickets.

Defence

At the beginning of the game 1200 tickets are given. For each player respawn, 30 tickets are taken away from the team. Each team has a "home" point. If the other team captures it, it is almost guaranteed to win.

Conquest

At the beginning of the game 1200 tickets are given. For each player respawn, 20 tickets are taken away from the team. There will be a total of 3 points on the map. If two of them are captured by one team, tickets will be drained from the opposite team.

Radar and Compute:

Radar detects tanks in line-of-sight from the search radar itself, not the centre of your tank. Circles indicate friendlies, squares indicate foes.

Compute requires you to tag a target by clicking T on them, but only if the centre of their tank is in line-of-sight of the tracking radar. The guidance takes into account your speed, and their speed as well. This is especially useful with artillery guns.

FCS and Thermal:

FCS is a fire control system. The FCS automatically determines pre-aim (both vertically and horizontally) based on range, speed (yours and the target's) and projectile velocity.

The aiming status indicator will be red if the gun is aiming or cannot aim at a given point, green if the gun is aimed. The indicator on the left shows whether the shell is loaded or not.

Thermal imaging cameras show the heat signatures of objects, including tanks. The brighter the color, the warmer the object. In this case you won't miss a tank - it will glow very strongly, which makes it easy to find your opponents.

In our game there are several generations of thermal, from 1 to 3. The higher the number, the higher the resolution and less noise.

Also they can be different colors.
