Other factors help Leopard 2A5 be competitive, not just the 6s reload ( in your case, the lack there of)
Something the Chinese vehicles don’t have.
Hence the 7.1s reload is quite difficult to work with.
yeah , some autoloaders should return gun in certain position for loading , and return it after loading.
And not so sure about “speed” limitations on modern mbt’s loading, since there is plenty of videos of em shooting on move repedeately.
By the way, I found an interesting article.
T-72’s armour ( other than turret cheeks) is garbage at 9.3.
Pretty much any NATO 9.3 MBT can frontally penetrate it.
Sure it can withstand more IFV spam than NATO MBTs, but it still has no gun depression nor reload speed, nor reverse speed.
I’d take other MBTs over the T-72A in almost all cases, unless it’s a reasonably good downtier to be able to make use of its armour.

Leopard 2 reload buff isn’t needed – they’re already more than competitive.

Oh my.
16 rounds is not enough with a 120mm gun?
I’m curious on how you don’t run out of ammo with the 26 shells of 75mm on the HSTV-L though…
Played Israeli version of M60s they are literally better overall:
12x gunner zoom
turret sleeves that bait enemy into shooting an empty spot
DM63
-10 gun depression
turtle shell dumb f mg turret removed
thermals
carry more mg and bullets that will make Rambo proud
It’s laughable when people think the 9.3 T-64a and T-72a needs to move up lmao, I do have to admit that the 125mm has very good shell velocity though, too bad about the 8x zoom which makes them a bastard to aim at long range target

Gal Batash is better in pretty much all situations other than when you so happen to get shot by DM23 to the UFP.
Hell, I think I would rather take the 9.0 M60 TTS over the T-72As / T-64As
That being said, the T-64B is quite a big improvement for just a 0.3 BR difference… offering much better protection ( which can now frontally withstand Type 93, and sometimes buffed-up DM33 and DM63), a much better dart (epic 3BM42 instead of mid 3BM22), and better sights.
I think the T-72As and T-64As can stay 9.3 with their reload buff ( for as long as the good NATO MBTs stay at 9.3), and the T-64B should then definitely go to 10.0.

But the T-64A is definitely worse than the T-72A in practically every aspect.

God no, i think Gaijin would be capable but you cant sell new mechanics in a premium pack so they will never do something like that.
That and shell position and type would matter irl and the general damage model of the carousel is bs
T-80B might be too good for 10.7 with the 7.1s → 6s reload buff being enough for it to go to 11.0, but I’m not quite sure because of its mediocre armour.
Just about ~430mm of protection (if you include the Kontakt 1 ERA KE protection)
T-80B can stop 120mm DM23, M774, and OFL 120 G1 fairly reliably, but struggles against rounds with slightly better penetration than those.
I think its reload and armour severly puts back the T-80B in terms of performance at higher BRs, but I think the 6s reload buff would make it too good for 10.7.

the T-80 goes from 6.5s → 6.0s
T-72 has 7.1s reload and it will be reduced to 7.0s
T-80B has a 7.1s reload autoloader, similar to that of T-64B I believe.

lmao, rofl even
Just ask Mr Russia to increase the autoloader reload speed. Then we can agree to buff it for historical Accuracy.
