And it’s interesting that these nations also use autoloaders on ther top tier MBTs.
I think it’s just a way to balance autoloaders because they wont knocked out like human loaders
or you could just type in " diesel tank explosions " or learn how VAPORS cause explosions. or use your brain and wonder why the russians would make their fuel tanks less " EXPLOSIVE PROOF "
AUTOLOADERS have nothing to to with fuel tanks, gaijin just being lazy as always with modules to give soviets an upper hand.
Vapors can cause explosion. “Vapors” are only half of the equation. Diesel fuel, and even gasoline, do not spontaniously combust, much less “explode” on their own. They require a specific oxygen ratio. A fuel tank full of liquid fuel does not have very many/any vapors in it. Even a partially empty tank has only a small volumn of air in it, of which only 20% is the oxygen required for the explody.
Ref to all the other threads where you have been shown to be … “mistaken”.

because we all know superheated jets of shrapnel, and copper jets passing through and out of fuel tanks wont cause an explosion. i honestly don’t think you’ve ever watched or seen a diesel tank explosion before or you magically think diesel tanks don’t have OXYGEN IN THEM. im honestly tired of people like you who keep thinking diesel doesn’t explode 20+ years of reading quasi psychobabble from your type is old. 2 injured when diesel tank explodes (youtube.com)
lol. Yes, all those engineers who have used diesel tanks as spaced armor for decades are obviously less smart than some dude on the Interwebs who has delusions of smartness.
Those Swedes were so dumb that that even use jerrycans as skirt armor. Clearly incompetent. They could explode at any second!

in order to detonate diesel you need to have oxygen, which inside of a fuel tank would not be possible, they only way that a fuel tank could “detonate” would be if the walls of the fuel tank failed and lead to a deflagracion inside of the crew compartment.
As you can see there was’t an explosion, just a deflagration due to the blow out fuel tank inspection panels that failed, in fact later in the case where the internal fuel tank was penetrated there was no fire

In any case diesel is a lot harder to ignite than gasoline, which doesn’t explode in game for… reasons even though it was a leading cause of German tank losses in WW2

If it’s filled with water………
That might help………
They aren’t.
That’s a big L

lol.
like… if a round penetrate the fuel tank, and oxygen went into the fuel tanks!!!
air will not go into the tank as fast and with the volume that it is needed… when the the tank fails what happens is that fuel is proyectad outside of the fuel tank, which makes it way more likely to combust as it is airboned and has a much larger surface area , that doesn’t happens inside of the fuel tank, again as it shows in the video there is no combustion in or after of the fuel internal fuel tank is penetrated, it happens on the external one because fuel is ejected though the ports of the tank.
this is 1 video
it is an official test…

Diesel can and has been detonated. British trials on T-34s found that their solid shots were able to do it, as long as the tank was partially depleted. Detonating a full tank required it to be punctured beforehand.

You guys are aware that DU-W alloys for example are pyrophoric, I’m not saying it would be sufficient to cause an explosion on its own but certainly would contribute, considering that fuel sloshing may atomize it sufficiently to start a reaction there is certainly the conditions for a reaction to occur.

Its interesting how some people can get an opinion on something and refuse to change it even when shown its wrong.
