never happens when i hit anything other than a t72 🙏
is the top of that auto loader supposed to be armor?
because if so it shouldn’t disable if the top is hit by just spalling in my opinion.
It’s the whole mechanism, and sadly, even bad shots with minimal spall tend to knock out the autoloader.

Correction, the top part of the auto loader is the shell ejector.

Pretty much every match I played today I’ve been one or two off from a nuke… hella sad, but oh well. Like I mean 6x in a row I almost had a nuke, but there wasn’t enough people or time left :’(

I just despise logical fallacies, and my mind has a nack for properly debating lol.
But @quartas121 and I get along quite well I’d say.

I would imagine the autoloader will get baked into the turret traverse for the T-series if Gaijin actually follows through with bringing this nerf to more tanks. That’s the issue though. Do they actually follow through with it or not. That and they’ve gotten even more feedback against it since the update launched and they don’t seem to care.
Playing devils advocate but since western tanks got the hitbox reduced (so the extra part is just a floorplate that can get hit) i don’t think they’ll just make the autoloader also block horizontal travel, maybe they’ll add an extra part or separate it into more parts because you can disable the autoloader from a frontal forehead shot on t-series tanks.
Bruh u said u had 6 nukes in a row almost while ur stats say u have kd 1.0 xd
I have proposition for u. Lets play a game
Are the baskets modelled yet? I hit a 2A7 in the side and just turned it’s turret and one shotted me
Attach it with the turret ring, so when it’s damaged you don’t get to turn your turret at all and make the autoloader pop from any slight damage it gets, if we’re talking realism.
They decided to buff the nerf, the damage model of the basket is actually just a floor plate, and the horizontal drive itself.
Hell yeah I’m down! (Also, I said almost, about 1 kill / asssit off)
Why is my KE only a 1.12? Well, from 1.0 - 8.3 I wasn’t all that good, after 8.3 I got a really good grasp on the game

That’s not very realistic for the tank to explode on auto loader damage…
it’s also much harder to hit the auto loader ammo than you think.
Lastly, RU already has some of the worst nerfs / capabilities in the game, because you got out played isn’t the Russian vehicle’s fault.
It was so cool to have the turret basket modeled but not fix the round loaded in the breech disappearing into another dimension when the ammo rack dets.

That will explain it :)
I’ve no issues in killing Russian tanks, infact i play against them everyday it’s just the fact that the autoloader eats shells and stop them from spalling is a absurd.
RU tanks are the second best in the game, maybe THE best tanks ingame right now because of the latest nerf to NATO tanks.
Also their tech tree is literally full of variant possible, while other nations suck and lack several tanks and SPAAs.
They’d literally model whatever they want in certain tanks, modelling the basket as horizontal but not fixing the turret ring is very Gaijoob expected behavior.
I’ve also heard they removed some armor from the Abrams breach, didn’t really check yet.
Type 10 and Merkava Mk.4M still exist.
Besides, the 2A7V / 122 still have a lot of positives over Russian MBTs - especially the T-90M.

Why would you bring these tanks into this convo? If they’re shit then it’s forbidden for people to complain about their fav tanks now?
A shot to the lower front plate would disable the whole tank on the 2A7,B+ which in the Russian tanks doesn’t happen, if they got shot to their autoloaders they would be able to shoot the round that already in the breach and then they can move away to repair.

No?
Where did I state that you can’t?
I’m saying Russian MBTs are still not the best MBTs, even with the nerfs to the 2A7/122/Abrams.
Russian tanks explode most the time via fuel tank or ammunition detonation through the LFP.
I agree with you that the autoloader can absorb shrapnel, but direct hits through ammunition (most of the time) leads to them blowing up.
Besides, the 2A7V doesn’t have the turret ring / Driver’s port weakspot that the T-80s / T-90s do - which often results in them dying in one shot, or severly cripple them by taking out their driver, turret ring and breech.
The 2A7V still has the much better reload than any Russian MBT, superior gun depression, superior turret armour, and superior reverse speed. Not to mention the spall liners and safe ammo stowage…
Why would it be fair to have Russian MBTs be inferior in everything other than ‘armour’?
And it’s not just Russian MBTs, Chinese MBTs have even worse armour and reload (unless you compare them to the T-90M), for similar reverse speeds to NATO MBTs.
This change also helps the Chally / Arietes be slightly more viable and not just directly inferior to the Abrams / Leo 2A7 / 122. (Though the difference in capability between the 2A7 / 122 and the Ariete is still insane despite the three being the same BR as one another).
In most competitive gamemodes (such as tourneys or squadron battles), most top teams would still prefer them over Russian MBTs, or if not, the Merkava and definitely the Type 10.
