If getting it into a sheet metal box that hangs in the turret should mean that you can’t turn the turret anymore, then getting hit into a sheet metal box carrying ammo that hangs in the turret should also disable the horizontal drive.

What does the auto loader have to do with horizontal traverse?

he might be referencing the FCS ?

oh i see now, he’s referencing the turret basket on nato tanks. And he’s saying that the auto loader is the thing that support the turret and the thing that allows it to turn.
and that russian tank should have the same mechanic as the nato tanks.
I mean, it isnt entirely unreasonable since the main argument for e.g. the floor of the Leopard 2’s basket being part of the modules DM is that it could get stuck through bent metal etc.
The basket of e.g. the T-80 is located inside the carussel and supported via a rotary connector at the bottom. Since the autoloader essentially encases it, the same argument made for the Leopard 2’s / M1 Abrams basket can reasonably be transfered to these autoloader modules, until the basket itself is added.

Okay. Then the turret basket being broken should disable loading.

i mean in both case they will be in a disavantage, if you break the turret ring, shooting become hard, and disabling the auto loader doesn’t prevent the individual from shooting, weirdly enough it wouldn’t be a massive disavantage for the russian tanks to have this mechanic, plus there is alot of space between the tank hull and the auto loader while nato tanks relies on the fact that the tank turret basket is sticking to the hull to make it turn so they can place more armor at the place that it would normally be, the real debate is why gaijin haven’t put the armor at the place where the turret ring is supposed to have more armor. Russian tanks are ok in term of mechanic it’s just gaijin that doesn’t know how to model high tier tanks due to the lack of information consisting the armor.
