Russian Autoloader buff is ridiculous

not the typical weakspot lmfao

Well I experienced it from both sides and it happens frequently. Imo it’s the main thing that makes Chinese (and Russian tanks)competitive.
Because on paper nato tanks do pretty much everything better yet their performance is statistically on par.

The problem is not that the tank survives, it’s the fact that the tank can still turn its turret and shoot back with a destroyed autoloader.
Same thing with fuel tanks. If they don’t explode they just soak up all damage and you end up with basically no damage.

It’s frustrating game design and should be fixed.

What is the buff? I heard its 7.1secs down to 7secs? Challenger 2 used to have 4sec or 4.5sec reload then they nerfed it for “balance”, now its time to rebalance it and put it back around the 4 mark since russia got buffed. Thats fair.

You get direct fire ATGMs, so yes they can be used in CQC lmao

Genuinely skill issue on your part if 30mm w/APDS isn’t enough for you to either perma disable or outright kill the enemy, I’ve fought against BMPTs in 11.7 MBT(s) and IFVs like Jaguar, the BMPT with just 30mm will either just kill or disable them to the point they die anyways, so cope.

that just a skill issue tbh, weak spot og the front T-series is 30% or more, but sure complain more like something gonna happend.

BMPT has less weakpoints than T-series MBTs.

that happens to all tanks…

numbers dont lie, 80mm pen at 11.0 will just do nothing. if they do, that just your problem for showing your side.

plus you cant do damage with atgm at close range of 30m or less. that is a simple fact for every atgm in the game.

seems that your just saying nonesense to add more fuel to the fire, you got nothing to say or prove. bmpt 30mm cant do nothing to the front of a mbt but just kill the gun or track.

Yes but if you hit the fuel tanks of an Abrams for example the walls will create new spalling.
Also it is more common for Russian and Chinese tanks to have fuel tanks inside the crew compartment.

Killing the gun/track is enough lol, you seem to believe BMPT should be able to just vaporize everything which is just hillarious, but considering the fact you basically main Russia, who would’ve thought.

if they do, that just your problem for showing your side.\

Ah yes, “skill issue”, the apologists’ fav argument

Still no one seems to be talking about just how broken the RU reload buff really is.

  1. They don’t require aced crew which cost SL then either games played or GE to acheive there maximum reload.
  2. They are completely unaffected by crew deaths. Commander and loader dies your not stuck with a long reload like everyone elses tanks are.

I used to think having a slightly longer reload was there tradeoff and balance for not been affected by points 1 and 2. But serisouly GJ what the hell??

Challenger 2 without expert or aced crew is 5.8s reload, You only maintain that reload for your first stage ready rack thats only 4 rounds, then your reload slows.
You lose 1-2 crew members and don’t have any more rounds in your ready rack and the reload is stupidly slow.

So once again we have another situation where other tanks need fixes but no!!! another buff to the favourite nation. Seriously at least try and hide your dam bias so we can go back to just making jokes about you been so bias without solid proof.

The tradeoff is that they usually have longer reloads, and their reloading mechanism can be destroyed with the introduction of the new modules. Even after the buff this is still true, since the majority of tanks got at most an 0.5 sec reload buff.

You mean the FCS which is currently turned off?? The one that has no effect on the game at all??
Or you mean the autoloader its self which if you have 1 in the chamber doesn’t matter and can be repaired rather quickly back to your full 6s reload

The majority of tanks didn’t get a 0.5s reload buff. CR2 actually got a reload nerf a while back, and that + a 4 round ready rack which is a bug that GJ still haven’t fixed makes the CR2 have one of the worst sustained fire rates in game, even though we have video’s of crews lap loading in under 4s.

Like i said, this is just another buff to there favourites and a big FU to all other plays in different nations. Bias is showing so strong with the past few updates.

Brah I just saw your record, you also played the T-80B and the kd is so negative, maybe after the reload buff it will be as positive as one of your Challengers?

This is what always confuses me the most, how does one still think something is overperforming when they personally perform horribly in it?

Oh no another person referencing stats!!! shame on me!!! Yea i DGAF about stats, RU tanks don’t play like UK tanks and I’m not used to them as RU isn’t a particular fun nation for me as I just don’t find T-series tanks fun.

Performing badly in something your not used to vs fighting against something others are used to and seeing my entire team getting wiped off the map in minutes after the reload buffs must mean I don’t know what I’m talking about “sigh”

I have never once advocated for anything to be over performing regardless of if I’ve use the vehicle or not, my own personal stats in a particular nation or vehicle is not basis for my talking points but rather a much larger observation of current trends and things I see in game.

Further more, stat starzies like yourself often never bring anything of substance to debates or discussions. Perhaps take a break from your self centered outlook on everything and see the bigger picture. But welcome to my “safely ignore” list where I will from now on completely igore anything you post or reply as nothing more then garbage not worth interacting with.

Same with ussr tanks? Except ive yet to see any NATO fuel tanks explode as frequently as USSR tanks do… (not including diesel engined ones…)

Bruh, the autoloader module, manual loaders reset the time when the loader is dead, if the autoloader is broken (assuming you didnt explode right away) you cannot reload until the completion of the repair

which for the record, with a max experted crew is around 40 secs, compared to the 9sec to replace the loader with the same crew skill. So 15.5 secs to replace the loader and redo the reload in a Leo 2 with a max/expert crew.
And I’m fairly sure the autoloader resets when it’s destroyed mid reload too.

im pretty sure the progress only freezes but 40 still is way worse than 15 moving

after nerf after nerf, iam not sure leopard is still the best… but yeah i know, russia need more buffs…

Possibly, it seems like it’s always starting fresh, but maybe I’m just good at getting it shot right at the start of the cycle.

The 2A7s and Strv 122s are still easily the best.

The 2A5/2A6/PSO are just pretty solid middle of the pack MBTs though, nothing more powerful than that.
