Guide: Consumables and Personal Reserves
Greetings, Commanders!
[h2]Personal Reserves[/h2]
Personal Reserves are entities that, upon activation, allow you to receive additional bonuses after each battle.
Regardless of your experience in World of Tanks, Personal Reserves can make the game even more enjoyable. By activating a Personal Reserve, you will receive a temporary bonus to earned experience or credits. If the duration of the Reserve expires during the battle, you will receive an additional bonus afterwards. Personal Reserves can be activated in Random Battles, Ranked Battles, tournaments, and Frontline mode.
In World of Tanks, there are four kinds of Personal Reserve, each granting an additional bonus to the following in-game resources:
Combat XP
Duration: 1, 2, or 4 hours.
Bonus Value: +25%, +50%, +100%, or +200% to XP earned in battle.
Free XP
Duration: 1 or 2 hours.
Bonus Value: +200% or +300% to Free XP earned in battle.
Crew XP
Duration: 1 or 2 hours.
Bonus Value: +100%, +200%, or +300% to Crew XP earned in battle.
Credits
Duration: 1 or 2 hours.
Bonus Value: +25% or +50% to credits earned in battle.
Each kind of Personal Reserve differs by its bonus value and duration.
[h2]Conditions of Use[/h2]
Personal Reserves are convenient to use and have a number of advantages:

However, certain restrictions are applied to Personal Reserves:
• You can activate up to three different Reserve types at the same time.
• Upon activation, the duration of a Reserve is limited.
• Once activated, you cannot cancel a Reserve.

[h2]Consumables[/h2]
Use consumables to repair modules, increase vehicle performance, heal crew members, and extinguish fires during battle.
The Repair Kit, First Aid Kit, and Fire Extinguisher are reusable during a battle. Once activated, the consumable has a 90-second cooldown. A timer under the consumable icon informs you how long the cooldown will last. The consumable is removed after the battle if it was used at least once. To resupply it, you only need to pay once, regardless of the number of times it was activated during the battle.
Consumables fall into two types—standard and improved. Depending on the Tier, vehicles can have up to three slots for consumables. You cannot equip your vehicle with identical consumables of one type, but you may use a standard consumable with its improved version in one vehicle.
By default, consumables are activated by keys 4–6. unless the hotkeys have been remapped.
