Module
One of a vehicle's five researchable components: suspension, engine, turret, gun and radio.
Also known as modules, components, upgrades.
Modules are both an upgrade path and a damage model. Researched in order, they turn a stock vehicle into its final configuration, and each one has hit points that can be damaged in battle.
The suspension usually comes first because it raises the weight the vehicle may carry, which is what makes the heavier turret and gun mountable at all.
