nvm
It’s not necessarily meant as bashing on the T-80BVM. It’s just that highly mobile MBTs with good gun depression and a 5 second reload will always be incredibly strong in the hands of good players.
-0.1s for 3bm60 on bvm - 6.4s
-0.1s for t90m - 7.0s
It’s not like it’s changing much for USSR top tier tanks. More like bonus for pre-top tanks (< 12.0)

My humble bet is that it’s a bug and it’ll be fixed. it makes no sense to do a blog to announce an improvement only to be apply such buff for weaker rounds.
Also, notice how the T-80BVM is the only T-80 w/3BM60, yet the round shares the same reload buff time as the T-72/T-90 series, reinforcing the bug theory.
The issues is that war thunder doesnt model the ammo placement, so the next round that you load can literally be anything, and for a 10+seconds you would need to pass over quite a few rounds

It’s was confirmed on ru forum that it’s not a bug. Probably due increased length of 3bm60. T-72/90 series have different autoloader.

Interesting, to say the least.
Though I’ll keep some skepticism stored. Nothing personal, by the way. It’s just that I have an idea of how Gaijin ends up working, and sometimes they tweak numbers even after officials say anything.
if true, actually useless patch that changes nothing at all
I wouldn’t call it useless, the lower brs did get a sustancial buff, specially the t64s, and t80b that got over a second reduced.
Perhaps not, but it wouldn’t be hard to implement a longer reload when switching to a new shell type and even the Soviet manual they linked said that every two cassettes that are passed adds ~1s to the reload time
If only you cared as much about revision of Rate of Fire of Naval cannons…
Look for once at Littorio class.
the only tanks that actually got buffed from this is t64a, t80U and whole lot of premium\squadron\event t80us (1 t80u in TT and 5 paid)
t80B is 7sec so not a second but 0.1
literally worthless update if you are not giga delux premium gamer that plays 11.7
T64B still has 7.0s reloading time (0.1s improvement). Is it a mistake given you’ve annouced it to be 6.0s? Please kindly fix.
Yeah, sounds like anyone cares about 0.1s (not 1s) reload buff for t64b and t80b…
Personally i fine by giving them this as a temporary measure, but i would rather give this to every vehicle, as you could pick and choose where to place the ammo
Probably a bug as they announced that those where supposed to get the 6s reload aswell, was already reported and accepted.

I mean UD buff is good but it’s definitely gonna be raised in br so it’s going from great 10.3 lineup vehicle to a not so great 10.7 lineup because all good vehicles are 10.0-10.3
so you gonna be left with 2 BMPTs (one premium), t80b (not a good vehicle in general), tunguska and object 292
This whole thing looks like a premium giga delux gamers only buff to me

It is updated
It could be an xbox client issue

Well no. In ground - players are well distributed. Top-tier is not the top dog. So these changes will impact those who regularly play tanks like the T-64A.
