Ammo Racks on the New Wiki are just… not there. The stylized pages for vehicles is nice, but it truly is just a glorified stat card. The Old Wiki contained better information about Armor (as an example, BT-5’s “Front/Side/Back” compared to the Old Wiki’s detailed “Driver Port, Front/Lower Glacis”). Details on Ammo are nice as they’re clickable keywords to get grouped information on the Shell…
But there’s no Ammo Rack details. There is no game-given information AT ALL on how the Ammo Racks are loaded in sequence, its infuriating! There is no in-game slider for the ammunition you carry while in Preview/Customization or in Protection Analysis, so you can’t variate and see in the X-Ray “Hey if this Sherman carries X amount of Rounds, what Racks are active and available for me to shoot?” Or whichever tank you want to shoot and test out.
When I started out and wanted to learn, in-game all the Ammo Racks are visible on the Customization > X-Ray, but that’s simply not the case when you actually fight people in battle. Its not the case when you use the hotkey to preview your own Tank when mid-battle, it accurately tracks (based on Rack Grouping) how many Shells you have based on what you take in. I already know it’s not smart to take in all the Ammo you can carry.
I’d like to see that on the New Wiki as in the Old Wiki, there is (rudimentary as it is) details on many vehicle’s Ammo Racks. I can read up on which Rack carries this amount, see which Rack depletes first given the images. It’s useful to know and have this, as say for the “Shoulders” of a Pz.4 C, those Ammo Racks are not active until a certain used capacity, but the Ammo Rack behind the driver is almost guaranteed to be active.
With all that being said, the BT-5’s image for the Ammo Racks on the Old Wiki is incorrect. Racks 5 and 6 are depleted before Rack 4 in the image, and I don’t know if its possible to update the image or edit the page to fix this. Its likely it was correct back in 2018, and it’s since gotten an update on how the Racks are depleted, but it would be nice to actually correct that in the Old Wiki or even introduce the corrected amounts in the New Wiki.
