I was just in testdrive testing the ratel 20 and if you are stand on the “point” the milan reloads in 6s, but outside of the “point” it takes ~15.5s, i have no idea if it does that in a match
its with most vehicles. reloading on a point or next to an ammo crate is sometimes faster than reloading the next shell / missile. the french autoloaders are the same. you can reload 2 shells in the “clip” before your crew load one in.
I tried to do the same with the marder 1 & 1a3, pvrbv 551, pbv 302 (bill), cv90 mk4, lvrbv 701, m901, cv9040 (bill) & begleitpanzer 57 and it didnt do what the ratel 20 did
well, it depends on the vehicle. how long did it take the crew to reload the missile compared to how fast restocking the missile is.
i didnt take time on any of those vehicles but, the replenish was faster on all of them
I maby didnt describe it the best, when the ratel replenish a milan it makes it overwrites the reload, so in theory you could fire one milan and 0.1s later fire another missile
Yeah that is how that works. Go testdrive the sdkfz 222 or whatever the first german spaa thingy is. The wheeled one.
Get on cap and you can fire indefinetly since the replenishment is faster than reloading and it just replenishes your ammo back into the clip.
When you replenish ammo with the sdkfz 222 you get another magazine added to your ammo pool, it doesnt overwrite the reload though, put in a video in my first post
Wait even with full ammo? Maybe they changed it then.
no no. if you are on your first clip, and you shoot, the restocking should restock the loaded clip. cause thats the one that needs replenishment.
see? it basically turns you into a mini whirblewind. also works with the ammo boxes. seriously, why are you guys arguing yes it can, no it cant, when you can literally test drive this stuff. theres no argument to be made.

oh shit, i just realise, gaijin now sees this clip and think “hmmm, that can be abused. we will say its a bug and not a feature and nerf it into the ground!!!”
luckily, for vehicles like the ratel 20, its really situational. you need to stay on a point. they dont get ammo boxes.
i tested it with full ammo, no ammo and with like 6 magazines, same result
Then it must have been some different vehicke because 2 comments back you can see what I was talking about
this is the one i used
Yeah that was the one I meant. As I said they might jave changed it I cannot check rn.
they probably did, or maby gaijin’s spaghetti code did something weird, idk which one is more likely
It does that on the AB41, L6, and AS42 I’m pretty sure too
