Not really. Quickest I’ve ever seen was 5.36~ secs roughly, longest being nearly 10 secs.
It varies a lot. It also depends on other factors such as:
Moving or stationary?
Lap load or full reload?
Blast door open or closed?
Full Kevlar or no body armor?
Meanwhile Russian reloads in the MZ loader, which I submitted as an bug report was rejected, due to it not being a “primary source document” meanwhile USA tanks get to run free with quicker reloads without documentation.
T-80U, UD, BVM, UD-1, UE, UK, etc. anything T-80 and newer, also, the T-64B all use the MZ auto loader.
(Except T-72s)
That auto loader is locked at a rate of 6.0 secs load time for longevity of the system.
However it can load as quick as 3.76 secs~
The cyclogram:
Footage:
Other users have reported the same information with the actual document in question:
“T-80UD (6EC43) states battle reload time of 7-9 RPM, with it’s cyclogram stating average technical reload time of 6 seconds. When you consider T-80U/D have more advanced and stabilised commander sights it does make sense how battle reload of T-80B/V/M is lower than of T-80U/D.”
just noticed, Is there a reason the MZ loader doesn’t automatically cycle to the next shell in line once loaded?
Like most WT players are almost always gonna use apfsds, so if its like a loader must a select shell for the carousel to move, they could probably pre set it right? Save 1 second, at least for the first reload.
It will cycle to the next shell of the same type, (the gunner programs what shells are where when loading the system) depending on what the gunner has the computer set to.
Automatic, or manual
Also depends on how the shells are loaded. Could Load APFSDS 6x then HE 6x, and then 6x atgm as an example, only problem (not like this is modeled in game for any tank), but for each shell that it has to pass over, it takes roughly 0.28 secs per shell.
Like you said, most people only carry one shell type though.
Bru the difference is just that when the us gets dominating stuff it’s not pulled out of gaijin backside or depends on maliciously making other nations worse
The statement mainly relates to the extremely dubious nature of russian guided munitions at top tier (9M317MA, KH-38MT, LMURs, etc), BR placements are favourable for most major nation vehicles, as their stats are diluted by mass-usage
