I disagree. A shorter, lighter round should be easier to maneuver.

Also in m36 loader uses right hand to operate with gun
I’ll be having to reconfigure my lineups now that Gaijin rammed through the M26’s hike to 6.7.
I’m sure glad I spaded the T1E1 yesterday…it’ll be fodder for 6.3s now. The 75mm Jumbo is fodder now too.
At least the M36s are still decent, but generally 5.X US has been shafted again.
Manoeuvre what? You just move a shell forwards.
Well the Tiger ll doesn’t, so the fact you’re rotating a shell 180 degree and still somehow manage the same reload seems questionable?
Pull from the rack, rotate 180 degrees, align with the breech and shove into the chamber.
Either way, moving a lighter, shorter object will always be easier than moving a heavier, longer object.
Take it from rack, center at the breech, put it in, and lock the bolt
Trumpeter models are very accurate you doesnt just moving it forward
Sounds a lot easier than rotating it 180 degrees, sounds like a favorable reload speed.
You have no roof so you have place to an easy maneuver.
it also 22kg
Easier if you did not have to manouvre at all, either way I don’t see why having to manouvre the round would need a faster reload.
Turret not so big, only half of crew height is inside. And in test it not reached also you need to remove empty casing, mantuver it
I was wrong. I didn’t realize the rounds were pointing forward.
But you still need more time to drop casing out of the tank.
Gaijin uses reload times as a soft balancing mechanism anyway, so this entire discussion is sort of irrelevant. Many vehicles in game don’t have their historic reload times, in some cases they’re slower, in others faster, sometimes faster than physically possible (such as the Sturmtiger) and sometimes in ways that would not have been possible in real life (the early T-34s were without turret baskets and couldn’t reload if the turret was rotated).

I don’t know how they could still breathe in there with all the sweating and body odor from lifting 22kg dumbbells.
There was ventilation system. All tanks have them. At least after 1942.
Not going to help much if one of the crews consumes a lot of garlic beforehand.
