Best sources i had at the time stated they hit a mine which blew the track off and then were hit by artillery, ukranian crew burnt it out to avoid its capture.

Serious question here guys

spaded with expert crew, 29.1 deg/s equates to ~12.3s to traverse 360 degrees.
Aced is 31 deg/s (according to wiki), ~11.6s to traverse 360 degrees

Anyone tested the new gear ratios ??

Heard something recently? Or do you mean the statement they made about the CR2?

They’re not out yet

ohh ok

it’d be a lot nicer if they, you know, were proactive, rather than responded to criticism, much of which is kinda deserved.

Is the gear ratio change a buff or a nerf by the way?

Well, hard to tell unless we see. From the looks it will have a harder time starting but speeding up should be faster. We need to see how it works to be sure.

I had a brief look, and the I impression I got was that they were improving the first gear for low speed handling and acceleration, and that it would more slowly reach top speed when already moving. I can’t imagine they did the opposite, as that would just exacerbate the issue.

ahh yes a vest will stop metal fragments traveling at 100’s of KM/H

can they just remove the turret speed based off crew skill for mechanically driven turrets. its not like it takes skill to move a joystick to the left or right

With them now looking at the CR2 will L23A1 be looked at? The difference between it’s performance in L11A5 and L30A1 should be more than what it is now. If L26 is better on CR2 than CR1 M3 then so should L23A1.
Also with how L27A1 has been proven to be underperforming, the older rounds should be looked into to verify that they are working.

L26 uses a new high pressure charge when fired from the L30 gun. As far as I know L23A1 uses the same charge in both guns.

Fair enough. But as how L27 has been proven to be incorrect is there a chance for a buff to L23 and L26?
