2021-07-22 [2.7.0.126] AMX-13 FL-11, incorect reload rate.

[CaID 8,910]

 

Issue : the AMX-13 FL-11 (and any eventual tank with the FL-11 turret) have a ridiculously low reload speed compared to the reality

 

Vehicles concerned : AMX-13 FL-11

 

 

Fact: the AMX-13 FL-11 share the exact same turret as the EBR send to US in order to be tested as the funding agreement between USA and France was stating after WW2 (for sort, USA was helping france to rebuilt their military industry but wanted to have the first taste of whatever they built) the EBR send to USA was mounting the FL-11 turret with the 75mm SA49 gun. the fighting compartment of the EBR and AMX-13 was the same in most aspect.

the EBR was tested in USA on many way, including the firepower where it manage shoot 12 rounds in 57 sec (10 of wich had hit the target) and later, he manage to shoot 7 rounds in 28 second on a second target even farther (6 of wich hit the target). that mean the EBR in his best condition, could reach a Fire rate of a bit over 14 rounds/minutes. as for now the ingame reload rate give 8 rounds minutes. that is rather slow.

 

Difficulty Setting :  Arcade, Realistic & Simulator

 

suggested fix: Reduce the reload speed to 4.2 or 4.3 when aced.
