Same dataset as for the earlier Ariete vs T-90M comparison

So that’s a tank with a significantly superior reload rate, and when the ready rack empties out, they’ve got identical reload rates.
Try again.
Hmm… when was the last time you actually played the 2E?
when was the last time you played the T-90M?
So you can’t answer the question.
As stated above - I haven’t got it yet.
Now @Necrons31467
You haven’t played the 2E for more than a year. Game has changed quite bit in that time hasn’t it? Might you be guilty of the same ‘I cannot take seriously the opinions of people who don’t play vehicles’… mindset.
hypocritical statement, you haven’t even touched the T-90M once
I have used the T-90M as much as our esteemed cohort has used the Challenger 2E in the current meta.
or the Ariete…
Shouldn’t have a problem taking them out for a spin for a couple of games along with the T-90M and proving me wrong will he?
Still not answering the question, and you’re just attempting to move the goalpost desperately at this point.
So I ask again: Which 12.7 tank has a combination of worse reload and worse penetration?
I’ll simply keep asking as long as you refuse to answer it, yet still act as though you’re right on this matter.
Its the worst, especially on those russian bias threats, you can complain about everything in grb for russia but keep the MBTS out of the conversation because they are horrible
to be fair this is a high ball, abrams loaders have reported faster reloads then that even reaching 3 seconds
It definitely isn’t.
TheChieftain deals with this pretty well when he states those loaders boasting such reload times never quite seem to reach such load times when they actually record themselves doing it.
The M1 Abrams with the 105mm achieved a 5.33 second reload on average according to sources, but that model was able to lap-load.
The 120mm version loads slightly slower and every single video recording I’ve ever seen of a loader inside an actual M1 (not a training facility, training with the doors kept continually open or mock-up) is between 6-10 seconds.
Gaijin has definitely went with a very, very generously quick reload, but they have done that across the board for most (if not all) nations for gameplay purposes.
Well then i am in the wrong lmao, i saw video’s out there saying that abrams crew members saying it and that thats a reason to buff the abrams reload. My fault on not doing proper research lmao :)
Just because it can does it mean it should
This is a very important thing to keep in mind
Some sources here:
Spoiler

Between 5.3 - 8.5 seconds for 105mm versions of the M1.
Some footage of scenarios that are actually applicable to real world engagements:
Theoretically Gaijin could go as low as ~1.8 - 2 seconds if it was treated the way the current T-series’ Rammer cycling is, since the only thing that is required for the loading procedure is the ammo compartment’s door to be closed before the gun is declared ready to fire.
I also caught a 350kg tuna in real life.
You believe me, right ?
lil’ reminder because there are some people who need it
2:34 it shoots and 2:39 its fully loaded. I would probably add some decimals to that loading tho. Also for consecutive firing the load time reduces to 4 seconds if you do not let the door to be closed.
Like in this one, loads at 1:29 and fires again at 1:33. 4 seconds but I suspect the door was kept open.
