Update 2.0.5 adds a new feature to World of Warplanes that will allow you to further develop and improve your aircraft. Now you will be able to adapt their characteristics to your playstyle and tune the warplane to your liking.

You can significantly change an aircraft’s parameters and even its behavior in flight by installing a set of equipment and combining it. Previously, the equipment bonuses were fixed and unchangeable, whereas now you can gradually perfect it and add new effects.

All the equipment available from the Store or granted as rewards for Specials comes in Stock quality. You can enhance it by three levels — Improved, Advanced, and Ultimate. Each subsequent stage adds one bonus characteristic to the basic effects of the equipment. For instance, the basic effect of Sights is improved accuracy, but you can add a chance to deal critical damage or start a fire by enhancing them. Each enhancement tier has 2 possible bonuses, one of which will be chosen randomly. The characteristic that failed to roll on a previous enhancement tier is added to the possible rolls on the next one.

In future, we will add an option to reassemble equipment — it will be possible to reroll bonus characteristics, choose the ones you want to keep and reroll those that aren’t perfect for your build.

Aside from enhancement, you will also be able to fine-tune equipment via calibration. This will allow you to improve the basic effects of the equipment. Each quality tier has its own range of effects. These ranges overlap slightly, for instance, fully calibrated Improved equipment will be slightly better than a piece that was simply enhanced to the Advanced tier without further calibration. The positive and negative basic effects of equipment are linked and progress simultaneously while calibrating — all new equipment is a compromise between boosting one parameter of an aircraft and slightly weakening another. IMPORTANT: don’t forget to click “Apply” if the result of calibration is ok, otherwise the subsequent calibration will reroll the previous result.

As a visual representation of the level of calibration, there is a Technological level meter in the Calibration menu. For each quality tier, it shows how close you are to getting the best rolls. Keep in mind that improvements to the positive effects affect this meter much more than weakening the penalties of the negative ones. There cannot be a “bad” calibration roll where everything gets worse, at least something will be improved. Nevertheless, if the positive effect rolls the same while the negative changes only slightly, the meter might even roll back, though in fact the equipment will still become a little bit better.

The following table includes all the equipment as of Update 2.0.11.6 and shows all the ranges for the basic effects of calibration for each quality tier, as well as possible bonus characteristics. Keep in mind that since these basic effects are linked, the negative effect can be greater than the numbers you find in the table when the equipment piece is not fully calibrated. The table shows the optimum numbers — the best possible roll for negative effects when positive ones are at a maximum.
