Why are they so slow compared to other nations? Sweden is really quick so is Japan, but French takes forever. For example Lorraine takes eternity to reload. You’re better off not playing French autoloaders at all.
Are you talking about the Leclerc?
And which Lorraine?
Lorraine takes eternity to reload
Assuming you are talking about the Lorraine 40T, it sports the fastest reloading 100mm in the game at 4 seconds.
Do you understand what reloading the autoloader means?
No, I’m talking about French autoloaders in general. The reloading times are way longer than for example Swedish Sav or Delat.
I think you should phrase this as ‘Ready Rack reload times for French Autoloaders’
Then it clears up how god damn LONG it takes to restock the Autoloader

It’s not a ready rack, though.
Still clears it up better

I think if you used “replenish”, the word used when talking about moving ammo from second to first stage rack, it would make it much clearer.

Your original post did not specify what you meant; You said “reload times”, which everyone here interprets as how long the autoloader takes to load the gun.
When speaking about how long it takes for an autoloader to refill, we say “replenish” or “restock”.
As for your original point, I’ve never had much of a problem with the drum replenishment time for the 6.7 / 7.7 autoloaders; they all have VERY competative reloads for their BR’s, and the speed at which you replenish your autoloader will get faster as you upgrade your loader’s skills.
Tanks like the AMX-M4, Lorraine 40T, and AMX-50 TOA100 are very mobile and thus able to rapidly change and exploit positions; as such you should use your down time while repositioning as a way to restock your autoloader between engagements.
I’m incredibly average, but my 7.7 lineup enjoys a solid 60%+ win rate and 2.3+ KD, so that should let you know that they are definetely good tanks even if having to pace your engagements so you can refill your autoloader is annoying.
Do you mean the Strv m/42 DT, and the Bkan, and The Strv 103?
Strv 42 DT has a manual autoloader, its not automatic at all really.
Both the SAV and Strv m/42 DT are not automatic they just have a mechanism that helps the loader, So in reality its wrong to title them “autoloaders”
Delat Torn and the Chi-Ri II are some of the tanks with “Semi-Autoloader” systems that still haven’t been given a comprehensive model.
Gaijin just models them as a ready-rack with incredibly fast reload speed instead of an actual mechanism.
Both ARL-44 variants are still missing this despite such a mechanism being modeled into the gun breech just like DT and the Chi-Ri II.
One of such mechanisms on the Chi-Ri II.

I see. Yeah it’s pretty slow.
The swedish auto loaders are currently handled for balancing. The Str m42 has a reload as stated as fast as 2 seconds iirc on its documents, for balance its 3.0 as the round is more or less ready to be pushed into place after firing. Remember reload is a balancing factor

(as why the abrams and leopards doesent have Redbull teenager 3-4 seconds of reload lol
They aren’t.
Every nation in the game has its reload times artificially boosted because otherwise it would be annoyingly slow and effect gameplay.
*Or nerfed.
For some tanks it is nerfed, some tanks it is boosted.
“nerfed” reload rates assume stationary fire. Moving in War Thunder doesn’t impact reload time so I don’t really think there’s any with legitimate nerfs to their reload rates. Also assuming sustainable fire without barrel issues but I don’t know specifics for that.
Strv 103 would like to talk :3
(~2.5s reload rate go brr)
