This is one of my favorite anti-aircraft systems, but it is currently outdated.
Please consider reducing the reload time from the ammunition storage to the ready rack. The current 8-10 seconds is insufficient for its interception mission—a reduction to 6-7 seconds would be more appropriate.
Additionally, please add the DART ammunition to enhance its anti-air capabilities. At this Battle Rating (BR), the OTOMATIC is completely useless against enemies at ranges of 7km or more, where enemy long-range strike capabilities far exceed its defensive reach.
These changes would be enough; I am not asking for any additional armor-piercing anti-tank rounds
Idk I think it could go to 10.7 it is only a gun spaa, fantastic at killing helicopter but not so good for aircraft especially anything carrying an atgm.
How so when 1. There is no lineup (??? This is especially confusing) and 2. Even if you were to play it at 11.3, it often faces threats that it cannot defeat?
In this area, many helicopters are flying very far away, and the amount of ammunition in their magazines is insufficient to guarantee the elimination of the enemy.
The otomatic doesn’t alert vehicles they are being tracked and shot at so its a bit easier to kill helicopter as they will hover without moving. Please to god tell me you have IRST/RADAR switch key binded
Otomatic can’t guide DART afaik.
I believe they should proper model autoloader before rebalancing it, although there is still no sign of that looking at Centauro 2 implementation.
I think that for autoloaded tanks the reload speed crew skill should affect the restock speed of the autoloader, while it’s not usually an issue there are some tanks where the slow restock is a significant issue. this could also be a selective buff as as tanks like the T-80 have a rather complex procedure for securing the rounds into the loader, however this could be somewhat offset by having the gunner hand load a round into the breech before beginning the autoloader restock process, it’s a little odd that in game the round has to be fully loaded into the autoloader and then cycled into the gun.
So for example the type 10 when it empties its autoloader would 1st load a round from the secondary storage at about the same speed as a L2 series that has depleted its ready rack before beginning the autoloader restock
Also the delay before the autoloader restocking could be reduced quiet a bit, currently it’s wait… restock 1 round into the autoloader, cycle it into the gun, wait again, start loading more rounds into the autoloader.
i play it at 11.7 but even then its the only vehicle i really play. The darts dont have any problem not killing any MBT, there is a reason why i have 750 more ground kills over air targets. Besides that there are fewer aircraft, 311mm of penetration is plenty when you know where to shoot. Take for example any leo, t90/80/72, lower plates are easy and shooting through the track is easy.
If you are firing like more than 5-8 rounds to down a heli then you are doing something wrong and especially when they are 3-4km out those are easy picks.
I think moving it down to 10.8 would fit well, I know 10.8 doesn’t exist but it would make it so the otomatic wouldn’t see 9.7 but also wouldn’t see 12.0
If the OTOMATIC was moved down in BR it would be a demon, it does well at 11.3 and has no problem against 12.7. You have got to play it more and get better and then you would understand why moving it down would be a mistake.
Yes it is a good SPAA at 11.3, you have yet to play the vehicle so how would you know if its good or bad? I have 1200+ games in it, i would know if it is good or bad and taking out air targets is pretty easy. I would suggest actually unlocking the vehicle and playing it before saying if it is bad or not.
