Should just be 6.5 seconds

6 seconds for T-80 6.5 for everything else

That’s balance too if next major update ground forces BR go up to 12.7, NATO gonna recieve new ammunition in my guess.
0.1s time reduction is useless to toptier, 6.66s reload time is still change nothing because others can fire second shot, but 6.5s reload is much fair, the slowest autoloader reload time of toptier should same with expert crew of leopard2. The environment of top BR is fast paced IMO.

- We dont know if its true, 2) why the flip is t80ud t72a, T64a 9.3 but not 9.7? and why is the T72B 10.3?
Going from tank reloads to complaining about the buk in a paragraph notice

Well, the T-72 should’ve been moved to 9.7 even without the reload boost.
Why did the missile Shilka lock onto and shoot down my Ayit when its engine was off and the temperature was only 78 degrees at the moment of impact?
The reload time can only be achieved if the ammunition is already in the perfect position — if the carousel has to rotate first, the reload time is much longer.
- Best-case / technical reload cycle:** around 6–7.1 seconds per shot (when the selected round is already in the “perfect position” in the autoloader carousel).
- Worst-case (carousel must rotate):** up to ~19.5 seconds if the carousel has to make a nearly full rotation before loading.

If stuff like the Leopard 1A5, OF-40 MTCA, AMX-30 Super, Gal Batesh and Olifant Mk.2 etc. can be 9.3 than the T-72s are also fine at 9.3.

T-72A is barely as good as NATO 9.3s as is.
Only way it moves to 9.7 is if 2.3 - 9.3 all moves up by 0.3.
Igla, Stinger, etc use sensitive seekers. Welcome to manpads.

But their irl performance is literally just firework box
Out of all the better vehicles you could pick to move up, you have to choose the very mid t-64a?
Edited: I saw your stat now I understand why

Holy crap is the BUK physically penetrating that F-16?
Also, I’ve bug reported the MZ loader again, a little more properly this time, hopefully they will accept the irrefutable evidence that it loads in 6.0 secs.

Well, reload has always been used as a balancing tool.
So as long as the proper counterparts to the 2A7s/122s haven’t been added the reload of these tanks can stay at 6 seconds ace.

The loader will not be able to reload as fast when he is in full combat gear, when he is closing the door for the ammo and when the tank is moving

I’m fine with that, but arguing for an autoloader reload buff is outdated and just cherry-picking evidence
Which comes down to the balance aspect again. The T-80s, and especially the T-72s/T-90s, have been nothing special (or even mid/mediocre in case of some T-72s/T-90s). So this buff is purely a balance change.
Besides that this change will hardly effect top tier balance overall. The T-80s will still be only slightly above middle of the pack and even with a more serious reload buff than 0.1 seconds the T-90s and T-72s would still be mid.

Especially USSR 10.7. That BR is a slog for Free to Play players (such as me).

Stinger, Igla, and similar have a double seeker. IR(Left) and Ultraviolet(Right). The two images are then put together by the missile to better reject flares and improve all-aspect lock. This is exactly how it looks for the seeker:
(not sure that image even exist elsewhere on the web so enjoy)

this is not implemented in game, manpads have a combined irccm (fov gate + seeker suspension)
