“The AIM-F is exactly the same as the AIM-7F”
How ? Crew is completley blocked by steel plate from autoloader.
Spoiler
Not a totally farfetched concept for the tank to have inclinometers and/or accelerometers to slow the cycle time if the vehicle is travelling at speed. In fact, it’s precisely the sort of thing I’d expect on a modern autoloader mechanism if the crew have limited access to it.
Edit to add - You find similar safely systems on heavy plant machinery for example - stopping the operator from moving attachments too quickly when moving.
You do realize modern tanks also doesnt have start up from the outside like WWII tanks right? There are buttons for adjusting the ROF on autoloader inside the tank, just like how you can activate engine’s tank from the inside with simple push of button.
Wake up buddy, we’re living in 2026 and technology evolved a lot.
What ? What it has to do with chance for autoloader on Type series to injure operator ? Are you high or something ?
You do also realize autoloader takes the shell , opens the blast door and pushes the round to breach while passing though the space inside of the turret right? Guess what happens when you push the shell between the crew when your tank is on the move? Thats right you can cause them to get injure.
You responding to me or Panther?
I simply said that the technology to make a mechanical system detect rough terrain and alter speeds of cycling is possible and in fact a thing on heavy plant/construction machinery. If nothing else there are sound engineering/mechanical stress reasons for it.
I just showed video where crew is blocked by steel plate from autoloader mechanism.
Desert Storm nightmares still rolls around I see.
Dark but funny joke.
This feature can also find on other NATO tanks and its main purpose is to decrease the chance of getting injure, its not hundred percent proof in case you dont know.
Standart japanese crewman is going to punch trough steel plate for some reason while autoloader is working ?
Buddy you do realize on rough terrain condition high speed movements not everything sits perfectly still and crew has to rotate in turret from time time right?
You’re picturing perfect conditions for crew members while in reality its far from that, not to mention you dont have to punch solid steel to injure yourself in 50 ton tank.
I should’ve specified early A-10s since the C has datalink. It should also be noted that late war axis aircraft would have stock crews due to the loss of veteran pilots.
I mean thats why they have steel plate there.
No its more like you sounding really wierd reason for autoloader to be lowered in speed like what is difference between 3 or 4 second for standart crewman.
I’m still amazed the fact that you nitpicked single part of my entire comment on why autoloaded tanks can reduce their ROF depending on condition while ignoring other facts.
Fine, lets assume Type-10 crew will be in perfect condition and has no chance to gettin injured and focus on loading mechanism, what do you think will happen when loading mechanism gets exposed to impacts during rough terrain that contains multiple bouncy zones? Thats right chances of getting jammed increases significantly.
There is a reason why engineers placed ROF mod for autoloadings tanks, unlike you they anticipates every single possible outcome and acts on them.
Anyway if you’re done I’d like to move on to next subject.
What’s this fact has to do with anything we debate on this thread? I’m kinda confused.
Response to the april fools joke but it was off topic anyway
Ah, i see.
My bad.
Is not
Do you have any source for your expert statements? Show me the “rate-of-fire switch” in the turret.

Since you’re so confident about your claims I’m pretty sure you can find the revelant information about this statement, don’t expect me to hold your hand like a 5 years old kid.
Third stage of denying, I see.
