I wish there will be some more advanced era brought into the game, and to include composite armor , better mainguns , better engines and stuff like that

No.

in 0.2 in the cheats menu turn on aesthtic applique armour and then cut it in to many part to increase it armour but the other things can be done with file edit

I made a discussion similar to this one, & I agree, it would be nice to have tank parts from the Cold War & stuff.

we aren't entirely sure, if i recall correctly it has been back and forth if they want to add it or not, either way, it wont be for a long time.

if you want, it is possible to modify the game files in two ways to achieve a modern-ish feel. First of all is the era modification method;

Go into "Sprocket - Sprocket_Data - StreamingAssets - Eras"
and then in there you can modify the stats for each era, you can up the engine tech, giving you a very powerful engine, you could increase the guns operating pressure, which would increase its pen, velocity and range...

Or,
the other method is to modify things in the blueprint file for your tank.
Go into "Documents - My Games - Sprocket - Factions - (the faction folder the blueprint was saved in) - Blueprints" (If you haven't made a faction it will be saved in "Default")
And then depending on what you want to modify you will need to do (ctrl + F) (a search function) to find a word or number.
If you wish to modify the torque of your laying drive you would search up "Laying" or "Drive" and then you would look for the torque in the correct area.


This is simply to modify already existing components to be more modern Esq, if you want custom modules then you would have to make your own in something like blender and then add it into the game by watching a youtube tutorial.
All in all, it requires you to do a bit of back-end work in order to add or create modern modules/modifications.

I'd really like to design something for the Cold War era with laser rangefinders, APFSDS and over 3km engagement distances.
