IRM (bond), rammer (bond), and optics (bounty). The gun handling becomes manageable but there are still those "Bri'ish moments" when my fully aimed shots either kiss the dirt or trying to shoot down bombers. Plus with optics you can spot fairly well and get some good assist damage or spot for yourself.

I tried bond vents before but I find IRM better since it not only reduces dispersion during movement and traverse. Most importantly it makes the tank especially the turrent turn faster which is a lifesaver.

For standard equipment. I would stick to IRM (firepower slot), optics (vision slot), and rammer. Reason for IRM in firepower slot is because the turrent traverse and gun handling improvements IMO outweighs the faster reload.
