Yes, and many, first of all, almost all shots not only disable the magazine but also the turret ring, that is, in addition to not being able to shoot, you cannot rotate the turret or reload, come on, the community cried and supported so much that they added this to Russian tanks and now that your Western tanks suffer from this, you come crying to the forum every single day?

also when u take out the abrams ammo the breech ammo that is secure and loaded somehow disappear forcing you to wait again for the gun to load
Turret baskets aren’t designed with sheeting for protection from shrapnel or spall, its to stop arms and legs from being ripped off as the turret slews.
turret basket like on the abrams are made of thin aluminum sheet which isnt exactly a spall liner, but they do stop a fair bit of shrapnel, instead Gaijin made it so it create more spall(i have a vid up there)
yes but what about Challenger

I see
So both create spall
Unrealistic things can be kept to improve playability and to impose balance if BR can’t be used.

Just look how our sights can be damaged but we don’t lose any vision or quality of said vision.
Wouldn’t see me complaining if they did receive damage while in scope.
Yeah…
basic experience in a7, got shot in rear from very low ange. Enemy was about in 11 clock and me facing it . Shots in rear and disables engine. Awesome time to retaliate that shot. Oh wait nope, I wont. shrapnel miraculously damaged basket and since engine was out , I couldnt turn and use it as td…
So yeah it is just “fine” that you shoot leo in last 1/4 part of that tank, and take out engine and basket…
Why would you want that in game? Maybe in Sim, but that would make more people not want to play Sim
Because I don’t see immersive gameplay mechanics that introduce more options as such a bad thing. Historically tanks were often taken out after being engaged and having their optics smashed even if they weren’t penetrated.

I have still 1 shot killed like 80-90% of the ~30 Abrams tanks I faced around 11.3-12.0 when I played Germany top tier last week.
I’m curious where their “far better survivability” was, maybe they didn’t buy enough GE?

You might not complain but I bet many people would. Just imagine them being mad because their optics got spammed rendered them almost blind in the process, while also making the game into a repair simulator.
This optics thing discussion is like two minutes old and you already have someone thinking it’s a bad idea, even for Sim.
yes, people are afraid of change

They are, which is why plenty of new vehicles are thought to be OP until the dust settles.
Regardless, I think Gaijin is keeping some unrealistic things in the game to make their life easier and of course, to not stir the pot too much causing havoc.
Leopard had it coming with it’s black hole in the middle of the hull, but I think we could make some tweaks on how it works.
an easy fix to me is to make the turret basket reduce turret rotation speed to a decently heavy extent but not disable it

I thought of the same thing.
Guess it should be fine with something like 80% reduction in rotation speed. Make it a bit faster than what you currently get when your battery is empty.
