Okay perhaps I needed to update Aslains. I finished a game with tank A, died, exited to garage and selected tank B. Understandably the item isn't available so there is an empty equipment slot for tank B. I just sat there looking at tank B waiting for the game with tank A to end. When it did the item did not automatically jump to tank B, but all I did was select tank A again (probably could have been any other tank) and then selected tank B again and the item moved there since it was available again. Basically I think it just needs to be refreshed the tank the item is going to be moved to.
