Give it like 10 more rounds so it is actually more in line with the other lights at the br
but are they historically accurate?

I dont think so, but wouldnt it just be a balancing thing? its premium counterpart has more than double its capacity
The RDF-LT is not an HSTVL, they have [slightly] different autoloaders as HSTVL’s turret is designed to have the commander in their own compartment instead of sitting on the autoloader.

But is it shown historically that the hstvl had only 26 capacity?
Yes. The ammo storage of HSTVL is cut off from all crew members as well.
I would say that aim for a KDR of like 2 - 5:1, take into account the penetration of HSTVL’s ammo, visualize the crew/ammo of tanks behind the armor, and aim where the crew and ammo are more consistently.
You’ll be able to get that 26 rounds to last quite a while.

Not the same vehicle though. Can’t really say it’s the counterpart.
there is a potential that it could carry 32, because theoretically you could replenish the main magazine after the 6 round drum is filled
I agree with a buff to the HSTVL ammo since it needs like 10 rounds to kill something beefy even with good aim, but more capacity isn’t the way to go IMO since its not historical. I think it should have a higher ammo replenishment rate as the current one is absolutely hot garbage. OFC, the proper way to buff it would be to look actually make the shell as good as it was but we all know gaijin hates this thing too much…
No don’t buff the ammo capacity. What the HSTVL and RDFLT needs is the correct penetration values for their ammo. I don’t believe any vehicle should fakingly buffed
