First stage ammo is 10, but after you ran out of it, it takes nearly a minute to reload even with expert crews that has reload skill maxed out, in the image it looks like one-piece ammo, does it really take this long to reload? I hadn’t seen the complexity of the inside turret of the vehicle, but it looks like the ammo is just right behind them and easily accessible? or is it because they are turned the other direction?
This is merely a means to balance automatic loading and manual loading. You can’t wish all the vehicles you play load fast during the second round of ammo.
Only way to go around it is you place the ammo box then the reload will be quicker after you go through the first stage ammo.
Some vehicles have extra ammo stored in racks that cant even be accessed unless the turret is in a specific direction. This isn’t the case for the PTZ89 where the extra ammo is easily accessible. I think Gaijin needs to do an overhaul on how ammo racks after the 1st stage work. It could allow tanks to manually load from other ammo racks if the autoloader is damaged.
no, actually you can consider the whole back ammo rack as first rack.
PTZ-89 uses half auto loaders, loaders take an ammo, and put it in the loader and the loader will push it in.
it just takes maybe 1 more seconds to take it from other places
here is a video about its structure
