While it is true that majority of suggestion votes end up leaning in favor of tech tree by default , I still think T58 is an unfortunate choice of premium vehicle.
Unique tanks shouldn’t be premium. Premiums should be reskins or light modifications of things you already can get in the tech tree. Examples of this are: M1 KVT, Wolfpack, Type 74 Red Star, Leopard 2 (PzBtl 123) etc.
I think this is one of the reasons why the 3-pack premiums was so well received. They offer premium bonuses without locking unique things away behind a paywall. There should be some oscillating turret tanks in the tech tree, and not just premium.
It being a unique, one of a kind, rare prototype is even stronger of a reason why you should be able to research it. Why else do you research a US technology tree if not for US technology?
Basically, yeah. There were of course 155mm kinetic shells of various types in service. But the T180 was a low-pressure, low-velocity gun so that it wouldn’t explode at its insane 23rpm RoF. At this low velocity kinetic shells wouldn’t be nearly as effective as chemical ones, and this was at the peak of HEAT-FS popularity, so why bother developing inferior kinetic munitions?
If the Type 10 main battle tank can’t be used in its full potential of 2-seconds long reload speed stationary, what do you think? As said before reload time is more of a balancing resource and it’s far from being accurate in most vehicles either automatic loaded or manual loaded.
Yes - in that 2023 thread it says it twice - but not where the figure comes from - it is not in any of the sources linked, but might be from the book that doesn’t have a link?
It also applies only to the auto-loader of course - so you get 23 rpm for about 15 seconds :)
