The turret mechanism is independent it runs on a ball bearing assembly CR2 does not have a basket because of this design.
Now any round through the side or the centre is going to disable the CR2s turret.
Yet Russian tanks which also do not have baskets are being omitted from these changes?
If you have proof of the turret being able to rotate without the floor following it then feel free to report it with those sources.
As far as i know it doesn’t in dev server either, only the floor has been added to the damage model (same with Leopard and Abrams), not entirely certain though.
Unfortunately I donated my CR2 to Ukraine or I would have gone out the Garage and confirmed it for you.
I suppose the devs can prove that a hit in that area would cause the turret to not operate? M1 and Leopard are different because they use a basket as seen when they assemble/repair or they are destroyed.
Will see how it acts on the dev and live server but if it operates like all the other baskets it’s a massive nerf to an already suffering tank
Why would you assume it does in the first place?
Because the floor is nothing to do with how the turret rotates.
We have actual videos 各位战雷大佬 军事大佬 谁能看出这是什么坦克内部_哔哩哔哩_bilibili
Photographs all confirm as much
Notice how it is not connected
Because otherwise the crew would have to move their feet along with the turret when it turns and risk getting their feet and legs caught in all the things? Or am i misunderstanding what you mean?
Is that worse than the entire turret being inoperable?
I might be misunderstanding what i’m looking at but in that vide the floor follows with the turret rotation?
There is a small linkage that links the floor to the turret, but it is not part of the turret mechanism the turret is driven by the ball bearing assembly. if that floor was to be hit the top section that drives the turret would still operate.
The floor actually is not moving and that is from a CR1 so cannot be used for a bug report but they use the same turret drive systems.
Now on a Leopard or M1 the turret is rotated using the basket.
As i have said before, if you have proof that it can be disconnected and the turret turn anyway feel free to make a report.
Logical following or reasonability doesn’t suffice for a report.
That might be true, but as i have stated before, their reason for it not being able to operate when a floor is hit is not the mechanism, it’s this:
Do you have a source on that? Because as far as i have seen it does:
Turret runs on the turret ring, no lower mechanism and no lower mechanism or damage to the floor would disable main turret drive.
Corporate want to know the difference between these two images…
If CR2 is to have a turret basket added then T-series tanks get them too
I haven’t said it would. You seem to be missing the points i’m making and their reason for it stopping the rotation.
The turret is connected to a floor that rotates together with the turret when the turret turns.
A damaged floor would damage surrounding equipment if forcefully rotated despite damage.
That is like saying a shaft will stop spinning if you break the propeller. It is linked but not intrinsically
As I said the arrangement is similar to the Russian turret system and that is not being burdened by this game mechanic.
I appreciate your time today, we will wait and see how much it makes a difference on the live server. maybe we will get spall liners added to the CR2…
I can’t say anything more than repeat my previous reply.
Man, that is a really good comparison. Hope the mods/devs consider that.
Okay but the T series autoloader cant possibly inhibit the rotation of its turret?
Surely y’all can see the double standard that the devs are twisting your arm to support?
I personally think the autoloader should behave the same when hit if that is their rationale for turrets not being able to rotate when hit there.
But my personal opinions won’t effect how the dev’s implement things, i have the same influence over development and implementations as you guys do.
Yeah I figured that was the case.
Thanks for sharing your personal thoughts on it though!
