Chieftain Mk 10 still didn't get its accepted bug reports implemented

[AverageWehraboo]

The Chieftain Mk10 was pretty much played exclusively by good players but unlike rare event vehicles or premiums however it wasn’t allowed to do well so it got moved up to 9.3. It’s been quite some time now and they still haven’t buffed the engine, given it L23A1 or fixed all the minor issues even though some of those changes would have justified the BR increase.

1. Engine HP to 840 - Community Bug Reporting System
2. Reload to 6s - Community Bug Reporting System
3. L23A1 instead of L23 - Community Bug Reporting System
4. Missing Dozer Blade - Community Bug Reporting System
5. Minor Armor Issues - Community Bug Reporting System

Those reports have been accepted and ignored for years so when will we actually see them implemented?

Reloads unfortunately are always going to be a balancing thing and so never gunna happen.

But the others… 100% should happen

[ScimitarsCurse]

its honestly miserable at 9.3, it and Chieftain 900 really need to return to 9.0 (also remove APFSDS from C900, it couldnt carry darts)

these will improve it a good amount but man that BR is brutal

Yes reload times are used as a balancing tool but they are also based on real world times to some extent. See: T-80, T58, Char 25t

Changes like adding L23A1 or changing the engine hp and rpm could probably be fixed by a single dev in an afternoon.

Auto-loaders are max speed and not a balancing decision

manual loaders are entirely a balancing decision, they have to be able to do the stated speed IRL to be able to get it, but just because they can doesnt mean they will.

About 90% of the issues facing the British TT could be fixed stupidly easy

Apparently they are

AMX-13 (7.0) realistic reload rate

Somewhat, as i understand it the devs aim for having the real reload rates for autoloaders but can put them slower if they think it’s needed for balance (but not faster). At least as far as i understand it. They did talk about some of it a bit here: Revising the Rate of Fire of the T-64, T-80, Т-72, ZTZ96, ZTZ99 Series and VT4, VT4A1 Tanks

Honestly most of the whole games problems could be adressed within a single big update but well.

I think only a few of the top tier bluefor autoloaders can fire faster than they are currently set to I think

[AverageWehraboo]

Yes and they don’t have their 2-4s reload times for balance reasons. If the Chieftain Mk10 can’t be moved down to 9.0 reducing the reload would be one of the ways to balance the vehicle at its new BR. We’ve seen the opposite happen with the T29 that had its reload increased to avoid a BR increase. I’m pretty sure they’ll do the same thing to the T20 soon too.
