Sorry for the wordy response but yeah, we’ve got explosive projectiles in places that can’t exist and a source saying charges and explosive projectiles are either side of the driver.
The numbers exactly line up with what we can see in photos. The charges are in their right position.
The inert projectiles are too
The explosive projectiles are not.

In short:
Lay the two infront of gunner horizontally.
add 11 in front of the gunner, to make up a full bin mirroing the charge bin on the left of driver
add 1 by loaders leg, upright

So you still end up with same ammo capacity (50 rounds) but now all your ammo is either: in the turret itself, on it’s walls, underneath the breach, 2 rounds infront of the left charge bin, and 12 rounds infront of the gunner.

No worries man ^^
Honestly if anything I appreciate getting challenged on these views since if my arguement can’t hold up - it’s no good.

Sound good to you, Fireball?
I can’t see any other way CR2 can store 50 rounds

the 3 rounds to the left of the driver should be elevated somewhere around here.

the stowage behind the driver should be 4 rounds not 3.

these 2 don’t exist
image

there should be 3 rounds here not 2
image

only 2 rounds can be stored here

We have photographs of the 3 left of the drivers leg, not existing though. And the stowage behind the driver is under the basket??

they do, they’re just on the other side of the tank near the gunner

So how does the crew retrieve ammunition through a solid floor?

its not through a floor?

The loader is standing on the basket floor, and the ammo is under that

slightly confused what you mean by this upon reading it back

Unless you mean to suggest the ammo rack behind the seat should exist, but higher - I can’t see how our loader reached through the floor he’s standing on, manipulates the round out of the rack and up into the fighting compartment

The ammo in the front just straight up seems to not exist though

There’s also a diagram on Scorpion Minitures that outlines this too:

its possible that the turret needs to be turned in a certain direction to reach the rack, i wish we had more photo’s

My image here is the turret turned past 45 degrees to bring the seat ammo to the loader. Sliding the round out wouldn’t be possible so far as I can tell, even if there was an opening in the floor

The configuration I mentioned in my big ramble above, is backed up by those books, maintains the values we know and is corroberated by photos. I think it’s the right config for CR2’s ammo layout

Do we have any confirmation that any bug reports are actually being looked at?

My mobility bug report was made over 2 years ago and still nothing, its not even a difficult thing to fix.
