Improved Hardening
Improved Hardening (Equipment)
In one sentence:
Equipment adding maximum hit points and much tougher suspension.
What it means
Improved Hardening raises your maximum hit points by several percent and dramatically strengthens the suspension: tracks have more HP, repair faster, and the vehicle keeps moving better while tracked. It's a pure survivability slot popular on frontline heavies that expect to trade HP all game.
Example
On a 2,000+ HP heavy, hardening adds roughly an extra shot's worth of hit points — plus far fewer full track knock-outs while crossing open ground.
Why it matters
For tanks whose job is absorbing damage, extra HP is always useful — it can't be aimed around like a weakspot.
Common pitfall
⚠ Taking hardening on low-HP snipers that should never be shot at in the first place — the slot almost always serves them better as optics or rammer.
