M113 Bardelas/60mm HVMS - Turning the mgs into modification

As we know the new M113 60mm HVMS has 2 machine guns at the back, and when you turn the turret to the back it literally needs to aim up to rotate. This being a big issue.

I seen photos of the bardela without those mgs, so what if we turn those into a modification? meaning we can install or uninstall it as we wish?

  • Yeah turn them into a mod
  • Dont change anything

YES the amount of times this has caused me to die is insane.

They are so annoying. They aren’t realistic and should not have been added at all

Although I haven’t played with this tank, I think it’s quite necessary.

The LMGs in the back really should be something that can be removed. Basically can’t use the full turret traverse with them mounted. Pretty annoying.

Absolutely. The drivers hatch and exhaust are already pretty annoying to deal with, but those machine guns make playing on this tank unbearable.

Why does this thing only have 23 x 60mm shells?
Seems quite low - compared to many. Heck, the small T92 can carry 59 76mm rounds.

Also, why is the ROF so low for such a “small” caliber? 5 crew, so it’s not like 1 person is doing multiple jobs.

Anyone used this thing? Is it worth putting in time to upgrade it?

The RoF is arbitrarily made much worse by the devs, it should be 1.5s or something with basically a magazine reload.

Not sure why the ammo load is so small though. Obviously the M113 has way more space for this ammo IRL even with the crew and MG ammo.

This all being said I really enjoyed my time with this tank. The 5s reload is quick enough to be better than most non autocannons, high penetration lets you snipe and lolpen areas with ammo racks behind them, and the stab is a big advantage at 7.7 BR. It’s 100% a tank that rewards being able to pinpoint enemy gunners or ammoracks with the first or second shot. If you’re good at shooting ammo and gunners it works great.
