If a person has a protection against your turret, you will be able to see that without pressing "r." So the "r" function is there only if you want to know the MU level of a tank or their protections from turrets besides yours.

I think I will address the most burning issue first: The paints are way too expensive and beyond the budgets of most players. The modules are actually fairly cheap for the protections they offer. This update discourages people from buying paints, and encourages them to buy modules, which defeats the whole point of the update. "Separation of paints and protections" is not synonymous to "protection over paint." Hopefully Tanki devs will re-adjust the prices of the paints, because it makes no sense whatsoever that Loam costs 6.5k and Mary costs 100k. On a related note, the three most prominent M2/M3 kits, Bulldozer and Healer/Ant are now unrealistically expensive, now that Emerald costs 370k (way more than is was before) and Irbis costs 400k. I am aware that the kits will be changed, but please, next time, at least decide on reasonable paint prices before you release the update. Onto the more positive aspects: I really, really like the feature where you can see the protections of tankers' paints by pressing "r." More importantly, the MU levels are visible, which is extremely cool/helpful. However, pressing down "r" when fighting is difficult, which makes this feature useless unless you are standing in place and being killed. My suggestion is this: Create an option in settings that will allow you to use "r" to toggle this feature; that is, pressing "r" will show you the protections, and then pressing "r" again will hide them. This would be far more useful than having to press "r" down all the time. In conclusion, I was anticipating this update and was very enthusiastic for it, but it is not what I (and many other tankers) anticipated. With some changes and rebalances, this update has great potential. I hope the developers continue to refine it.
