this is false, the conveyor doesnt need to waste time since its loading one shell after another
Gaijin is making interesting and supposedly realistic changes. This is good, but I think this shouldn’t be a one-off change. The developers should focus more on fixing the many bugs that affect tanks, such as the Oplot’s hull front armor, the Brenus ERA’s lack of KE protection, the Centurion MkX’s missing 100mm of mantlet armor, the Abrams’ mantlet armor, the Challenger’s first rack, and the Centurion AVRE’s lack of hull front armor. I could spend all day listing errors, many of which have already been reported and acknowledged, but which remain unfixed, and significantly affect certain tanks, making them a real pain to play.
I don’t know what methods the developers use to decide which bugs to fix, but what’s clear is that they’re being far too negligent in fixing serious bugs that significantly affect certain vehicle models in the game. Let’s hope that one day the developers will focus on and properly examine the reports section, and prioritize the most serious bugs that need fixing as soon as possible.

From my understanding, pre-selecting can only work with one round type, so whenever you change rounds, what would happen after?
iirc its missle
hey, sorry its in cyrillic.
Is this for the bug where these tanks have a reload of 7 seconds instead of the proposed 6 seconds?
Welp, guess I gotta start spading my BVM now lol.
Anyways, do they really need it? Probably, considering how poor the WR after the new spaa were added (also prior to the LMUR), it suggested that Russia was extremely reliant on their CAS platforms to win.
Though I’m unsure how much of this is because of good players leaving to other nations, the tank itself being bad, premium players, or other factors.
Personally these tanks aren’t that bad and I would take them over the Abrams in most occasions. This is only because of how small maps are getting. If maps started to get big which allowed for more movement, flanking, sniping, I would pick the Abrams (along with other western tanks if I had them) but it’s just not the case.
How much would these really improve the tank? I think it’d be enough to at least stand toe to toe with western tanks.

Best joke dude.
Not really, why would it work with only one type? Until the currently chambered round is fired the commander can select whichever shell type he wishes and the autoloader will spin in that direction and wait in that position until the chambered round is fired.
All rounds are indexed by the commander/gunner during rack loading at base. Ofcourse IF the commander is unsure or DOESN’T wish to select the round at the moment as is case for safety during transportation, the full 7.1s reload would apply, but that’s with NO ROUND selected.

I am probably thinking of a different feature, I saw something about a mode on the T-64s with being able to automatically load the same shell type without commander intervention, and got it confused.

What you’re saying is about the commander pre-selecting the shells, so I think we’re on the same page now.

That’s why the “Carousel spin” time and that entire round finding sequence is greyed out or not tracked in the dev’s diagaram, It’s obsolete, it will only apply with no round selected, only happens before battle or after just rolling off the transport and only once, and never again until left empty again.
Receiving reload speed buffs is still just that.
Even with these buffs most of the Russian MBTs still won’t be anything special lol.

So what we’re saying is that NATO tanks will not provide any benefit anymore other than a decent reverse gear?
Also this completely invalidates the abrams reload speed increase.
Funny how this comes directly after a NATO blowout panel nerf too, definitely not favoring a specific nation with this one.

And ?
Reload speed is just one of many metrics that make a tank.
Abrams still reloads faster.
Gaijin doesn’t balance by WR.
Also, RU tanks have highly inflated WR due to CAS.

To be honest, I’m a little shocked by this update “Line of Contact”. Let’s think about which nation got the strongest in this update? Russia, Mig-25, Su-30SM2 with absolutely dominant radar and LTX, Two terminators that broke the balance at low levels, a huge buff for reloading Soviet T tanks, and this is what I remembered. And what did the others get? The USA got a pathetic F-18E, which is named the worst top-end aircraft, then it’s a terrible Booker M10, Jaguar 2 is generally a joke, more or less it’s Ajax, but it’s also passable. And it will only continue to grow. There will be updates purely for the Soviet Union. Yes, other countries will receive some kind of stubs that will simply fade before the Soviet power.
If you spend millions of SL and countless hour or GE, sure. If you don’t? It’s not faster. Just because it can reload faster hypothetically doesn’t mean it actually does.
CAS? Are you sure? Not the BMP-T destroying everything? One of the most broken premiums, along with the T-58?
Yes, but it’s what it adds on. Russia already has good armor and decent rounds, and the autoloader certainly helps when you’re down a crew. Also the fact of the matter is when you pair it with its lineup like SPAAG and CAS, no one has Russia beat.
