Reinforced Side Armor

Reinforced Side Armor was a defense slot upgrade available to and the Lightning. It was unlocked through purchase with Certification Points.

Before the Combined Arms Initiative, tanks would take significantly more damage when hit by a target that was located in an arc to the left or right side of the vehicle. With the update, tank defenses were changed to be more focused on raw health, rather than resistances, and any defense slot upgrades that affect resistances were removed or rebalanced.

Within this update, directional armour buffs such as Reinforced Front Armor and Reinforced Side Armor were removed, and replaced with Flanker Armor. All certification points spent on this module were refunded.
