I SERIOUSLY have to say thing because this genuinely fries my gameplay.
I switch to APFSDS, cool right? ooh! a bmp 2m! time to switch to HEATFS.
WRONG
I shoot APFSDS instead of HEATFS.
is anyone seeing this issue?

That’s because you have apfsds loaded into the breech

You really don’t need to switch to HEATFS for a BMP-2M
It looks like you’re a bit newer to ground.
For every cannon in the game, you need to shoot in order to switch ammo type regardless of what ammo type it is
Only SOME ATGM slingers are an exception, this includes the M3A3 Bradley and Wiesel 1A2 (The TOW launcher)
No like… old times you can immediately switch to any type of shell iirc when youre done loading
“Bit newer to ground”
Meanwhile with my M1A2, and CLAWS:
Currently taking the round you have in the breech out and swapping to another round like in WoT or just in real life is not possible.
Would be cool to see added, but it’s probably not a super high priority addition

Its not done IRL. That video is from a range gunnery training. Some guns like Soviet 125mm and British 120mm can’t be easily unloaded at all. In combat you “unload” the gun by firing it.
Ok?
I’ve seen people at top tier air that don’t even understand what chaff is
not to mention you’re level 55
And your performance is uh
interesting
Just because you have X vehicle does it mean you know how to use said vehicle
I mean, it legit looks like you’re complaining about something, that was literally explained to you in the tank tutorials

I am aware, it’s the gist of being “possible”. That’s all Gaijin really works with when it comes to many of WT’s mechanics.
Yeah… I would not be in a hurry to stick my arm into the breech/autoloader assembly up to the shoulder to fish out the front half of the 2 piece ammo while the system is powered on…
I know it has some sort of un-loading system, but I’m pretty sure it’s just for safing the gun at the end of operations, not changing the round mid combat.
Talks about the “old times” when his account was made on April 8, 2025.
EDIT: Also, this has never been in the game; people have been bitching about it since 2014. This is translated from German through Google, so take the exact wording with a grain of salt.

EDIT 2: This video also shows that you needed to fire before swapping rounds at around 4:07
And he’s playing top tier… That says a lot about Top tier being completely slop tier.
That’s uhh… odd. i remember that happening. or is that just brain clutter?
how am i 4.37 Average and 0.29 in GROUND REALISTIC.
also wdym i dont need to switch for an BMP-2M? just like in the tips when youre queuing
“HEAT is better for soft targets”
Yeah but you can just not
Like if it takes two shots to kill a bmp with apfsds (which it probably wont) thats equal to firing once to clear the breech and then loading heatfs to fire at it again
So what im saying is, like 90% of the time its chill to only load one ammo type
Whats this supposed to mean?
Wt tooltips are 9 years old and were never that accurate.
- Just because something is better does it mean using it then is actually worth it
- Those tooltips are basically 9+ years old and were never that good to begin with. These are for specifically open-toped vehicles, such as SPAAs or certain lights.
