Just posted on the Battlefield Blog:
This looks very interesting! As a dedicated tanker I welcome the addition of customizable vehicles. The blog post mentions how players will be able to, "...chose between Enhanced Armor, an Upgraded Weapon package, Smoke Grenades to hide, an Electronic Warfare package to locate nearby enemies, or an Optics Upgrade to zoom in on targets."
It also says, "Tank shells that hit armor at extreme angles will glance off doing less damage, while direct hits deal critical damage. Armor thickness also varies significantly between the front, sides, and rear of armored vehicles. A hit that front armor simply shrugs off can quickly become a problem if the same shot is delivered from behind. "
I realize that previous Battlefield games have had damage specific armor before, but it's nice to see it come back again. Another thing to note is that while they mention tanks in the post, they do not say that the customizations are limited only to tanks. Think helicopters and Humvees as well.
This should make for some great multiplayer matches.
