Responding To Dev Server Feedback Regarding Turret Baskets

Still blown away how the majority of the feedback on this was to not go through with this asinine nerf and yet they are still going through with it.

Dear Gaijin,

While I think this is a good change, will you be fixing the turret ring armor now? For you to literally cite the same photos that I used in my accepted bug report to prove the turret ring armor is poorly modeled— but not resolve that issue at the same time— would be extremely disheartening.

The turret ring, and turret ring neck armor, is a poorly modeled module that has been plaguing this vehicle ever since it was added to the game… and here you are, completely remodeling the interior of the vehicle, analyzing literally the same photos you would need to do this.

Please, fix the turret ring armor!!!

Buddy, they do not care. If they wanted to fix the already poorly modelled turret ring, they would have done so. But because the solution would result in less turrret rings being shattered by a strong cough, it will get ignored. Only nerfs get full implementation.

OBV this wasn’t your fault.
The APFSDS didn’t spall at all and gaijin thinks if we report something will happen, it has been reported many times over if you check the bug report page, yet these shots, happens a lot, especially on Abrams that no matter where you shoot it no spall or such a tiny amount that even a hamster wouldn’t get “shell shocked”
APFSDS should have like 1-2% RNG that this can happen not 20-50%, unfortunately it happens more often, even worse when servers are acting up for matches, sometimes for days.
You shots simply don’t work, then the next game even a tiny spall reaches the ammo and paint it yellow then blow up the ammo and the tank.

Yes I kind of understand that, but I think I politely got the point across without potentially angering anyone. Spent many hours looking for rare photographs for that report, and even visted an Abrams myself. The photos they used in this aren’t particularly rare, but are additional photos that I cited in my report. It’s just shocking to see them using literally the same photos, that show how the turret ring should be modeled, so it gives me hopes that maybe they are actually looking into the report.

The only valid explaination for refusal would be, if any of my photos are not meant to be public… which honestly, are hidden in my report for only the devs to see and might entirely be possible😂

if notice it when the ammo in the carousel doesn’t blow up and you keep shooting it, the ammo is not there, like it’s missing or suddenly playing hide and seek and that is a massive bug that they haven’t managed to fix.
Same applies to ready rack tanks ammo in the bustle, ready rack panel goes, then the next shot ignites the ammo e.g Leo2, Abrams, Type-90/10 and tank safely reverse back to repair…while the ready rack door is missing from inside the tank and the ammo is burning :)

Main problem is that there is no main page like they used to have Trello page so ppl can have a look and see what is acknowledged and what is being investigated… etc and would much easier to decide if you are chasing ghosts or you are/were a victim of a bug.

all of these investigations takes ages.
speeding up the bugfix/investigation mostly if the forum blows up because of it or streamers start making videos of the bug and criticise WT for it then they post something on the main page and FB

Like APFSDS is broken since last summer, yet they only posted something month ago that “hey we did fixed it”, yet mm of pen randomly missing from tanks, the round just doesn’t spall or spall is comparable to a bag of gummy bears thrown at a window, or simply doesn’t do anything.

Its a good change but you should give all top tier mbt’s it at the same time not just 2 at a time. Like The leopard has already been nerfed into oblivion and this will not make it better.

This change would be welcomed, if Russian Tanks were to also receive this, but as said, Nato tanks are the main focus, probably becaus of the higher winning stats. We should do the same for this as was done for the economic changes.

wow skill issue.
imagine having such low stats with a clearly superior tank (M1 abrams).
and having it with the vehicle with generally the lowest performance (C1 Ariete).
I would do a good soul-searching

this is satire right?

you say the ariete is better tank than a M1 abrams last gen?

lets punish NATO mbts for making their tanks survivable. i wouldnt have a problem with it if instead of that all being the horizontal drive if they instead just made it 3 different modules. the actual ring, the basket, and the hydraulics. if the hydraulics are hit the turret can still move its just slower. if the turret basket were to be hit nothing would really happen if you really wanted to you could make the turret jam up or do something similar to compressing in aircraft where it stalls the rotation briefly. and if the actual ring itself was hit it would do what it does as of right now.

yes

wow…

H… how… in which way is Ariete better than M1A2 SEP…?

And I’m the first person who has pushed for Abrams fixes and who says that it’s only average as of now due to its implementation, but…

Come on… worse than Ariete…?

So we will get turret baskets that’ll disable the turret drive, even if you hit a little fence in the leopard. But where is the historical armor for the Ariets war package? Where is the Merkava’s historical armor? Despite being a prototype, you added thermals to the T-80u but denied the Sep2 lower front plate armor because only five prototypes had them. Why don’t Russian tanks immediately detonate when the autoloader is hit? Also, where was the M1128 spall liner promised a year ago? This isn’t the worst change, but it’s annoying that there is no double standard. Please apply this to more tanks before doing half of it in one update and the other half in another.

it has spaghetti as armor, the crew is italian, the tank is as fast as me putting pineapples on pizza!

You should really recognize your own bias before calling out others
