How come the reload speed buffs were reverted? I was so excited to see vt-4’s, Oplot’s and T-64’s getting the buff (since they are the ones who need the buff the most). Now I’m left disappointed knowing that those autoloaders won’t be competitive at top/high tier for a long time.
Tanks with those autoloaders are like ticking time bombs, so why not buff the reloads?
Maybe because NATO mains( speaking of the ones who only play nato stuffs ) can’t be bothered to just become as good as russian/Chinese players, i’m excluding France and Italian mains from the “NATO” player base since those players are generally good and unloved as well as Ru/Ch players.
Even in nato countries official statistics we do know that the AZs ( T-72 and T-90 ) has a 10 round per minutes fire rate and the MZs ( the one in the T-80s and T-64s ) are even faster than their counter part.
People say this but I feel like the forum never really influences anything. The Taiwanese flag is still missing, we have zero confirmation of the Kh-38MT (despite that thread being one of the largest Non-Standard threads) and the Thai VT-4 is still not here either.
Not to say that these vehicles didn’t deserve a reload buff, they do!
I think Chinese and Russian win rates are high enough already after the generous blessings that LDIRCM were. I don’t see Gaijin adding more handholding to RU/CN after their WR skyrocketed to 60%
tbh I wouldnt mind them getting reload buffs, if that comes with the removal of their artificial survivability buffs that make punishing their mistakes inconsistent.
E.g. relict/contact-5 auto-destabilizing apfsds, Trunnions being + <=350 CHA, half the plates not creating spall, autoloader module absorbing spall post destruction (and not affecting horizontal drive, even though only the basket is literally inside of it and only the bottom part movable independently) etc.
We can’t have that now do we. But yeah, in all seriousness, I wouldn’t mind reload buffs if it meant nerfing the armor and getting rid of all the artificial survivability Gaijin gave to Russian tanks.
I as a NATO main support this change for the sake of realism, however, the current state of anything outside Russia’s tech tree lacks realism.
Turret backets, JAGM, IRIS-T SLM, … are wrong yet bug reports are just meaningless suggestions
