More so about applying the realism energy equally across the spectrum. Bringing "nation mains* into the conversation is irrelevant. If the mechanic is something that the tank does in IRL, it should be applied where it can. The intent is to get over “realism for thee but not for me”. If we can find something that details the average pentality for a manual loader on the move, then add it. Similarly to how we have video evidence of canon going pew pew, barrel goes up or gets locked, round gets loaded, and the barrel goes back to the position of the aiming sight.
If we are looking at the pentality of firing and reloading on the go, we might just have to apply it to every tank in the game though since all tanks can shoot and skoot at the same time. Is that equally feasible given the number of tanks? Sure. But I would agrue we also need to look into the question of “does a hard enough jaunt to the autoloader impact the loading process then”? Maybe it does. It should be obvious now that these aren’t the same things and shouldn’t be compared to such. Autoloaders just have quirks as part of their design.
Yeah. Although, now thinking of it, if overall loading time and target acquisition is the same (so it mostly visual) - I dont see issues to “make it pretty”. After all, in the end of the day, “Reloading is a balancing feature” (which, Imo, favors manual loaders for if you want to chance the speed/time for autoloader - please provide time tables (saw that one too many times on RU forum). Manual loaders? Tank under performs? 5 second reloading!)
F-14 & A-7, yes F-15 probably not, I might have to go though some video footage to see if there are any CTU’s anywhere for the limited instances of the F-15’s shown off.
I saw that earlier, you said it had a limited production run, but i can’t find any sources saying this happened. So could you perchance show me your sources?
Sure. if we go for realism across the board we should also get a sort of energy level/bar for manual loaders. It will deplete a certain amount with every shell loaded and will recharge over time.
Hell we could even add a system where different reload circumstances deplete the bar slower or faster. So a reload while standing still will deplete your loaders energy less than a reload while going at 60 km/h.
