2 stage (or would it be 3 stage?) ammo stowage would be interesting.
1-2 rounds much faster, then the current ready rack, then whatever is left.
Ive also thought that manual loaders should get a reload advantage when stationary with auto-loaders obviously getting the advantage when on the move.
I didn’t really get that. I think what you meant is that there is something faster than the first stage ammo rack (So like the ammo that’s already in a loaders hand, I assume). From what I know a 2 stage ammo rack is the first stage and the reserve, but the Abrams does have two separate reserve racks, one in the chassis and one in the turret. Maybe that’s what you meant?
Edit: Just woke up, and I understand what you mean. Don’t know how I misinterpreted that, but yes, that is something that might happen if they ever implement this in the game.
Also a great idea. There has also been something that I’ve noticed when watching videos on tanks reloading.
Russian MBTs have a Lazy Susan style of reloading, so say that you want to switch to HEAT but you’re on APFSDS, you’d need to turn that ammo rack a certain amount depending on where that ammo is located, it can be the one right next to the APFSDS, or on the other side. That can drastically impact reloading speeds. As of right now, reloading speeds are the exact same when you switch ammo.
Very different for Western tanks, but not as significant. Assuming all types of ammo are all put on the same ready rack, then the reloading rate when switching rounds would not be impacted. If HEAT (for example) is in the reserve and not in the ready rack, the reloading rate would be much longer. This is, of course, much better than the Russians. Could be balanced when you switch the ammo half way through the reload, you’d have to wait a little bit for the loader to put the round back in the rack.
RU Tanks indeed have some disadvantages in the time for loading the shells and the maneuverability, but I think you guys forget the best advantage-------Protective capability. Especially the improvement of the Relikt in this major update, they get resistance to long-rod penetrators has been changed from 1.7 to 2.25, and resistance to shaped charges has been changed from 7.75 to 9. All of those changes make RU tanks become the best protection of all top tier tanks, that fact makes all players have to aim at them more carefully. To sum up, I believe that RU tanks should not receieve any benefits. The current modified balance is the best.(By the way: I already played 8 countries tank, (: )
It really would. Tanks like the Type 10s are already considerably worse than the 12.7 Abrams (I know you might deny that because you struggle in them), their faster reload is the only good thing that the type 10 has left lmao.
Current balance is the Abrams roflstomping the T-series lol.
The only advantage that the T-series has is relying on people being idiots.
Yeah, the only thing left is for Gaijin to bring Soviet ERA and DM on equal with NATO CN ERA / DM since there is no official dokument about their capabilities.
This thread can go 6ft under after that happen.
About mobility/gun handling → i’m sure RU players will adapt since they’re not idiots.
When everyone is an Ariete, people will stop being annoying to you.
That is true, since almost all NATO tanks does have the turret basket now and that the abrams armour got a lil bit improved it is now one of the best NATO tanks. But hey, i gotta say that i would like gaijin to ad something like the turret basket to Russian tanks, i mean, russian tanks doesnt have a turret basket, but we all saw how a bradley could destroy the turret control of a t90 by just shooting to the optics wich made the t90 turret spin and spin without stopping, so more modules to the T series would be nice, anyway, rn im playing russia and im enjoying it a lot, for me, is the nation that im enjoying the most in pair with germany, maybe it is because EEUU was my first nation,but i feel like After 6.7, the United States in the game has almost nothing to offer that other nations don’t already have, and even improved upon like the m60 tts, in the US u gotta play with the m735, but if u play the taiwanese version u get dm33, that is what i mean, US doesnt have anything that really makes u want to play it when the other nations get the same things or even better versions
Nah, people would still find a way to try and pretend that their own personal skill issues are because of external factors.
That is what often happens now, that is what will always happen often.
I want more detailed modules for Russian MBTs too. Not that they need the nerf, as they are already getting stomped hard, but since everyone is getting them so should the T-series.
US TTS gets M774 actually.
Nobody would blame if everything is disabled/killed in the first shot.
I think you under estimate a large part of the community. They will find something to complain about.
There is a large amount of players that will do anything to avoid facing the truth that they suck, so they will try to find anything external to blame instead.
I thought about that, the solution is to render all armors useless not just bull shit as current RNG armor model.
How could one blame anything when there is nothing to blame since you can totally kill/disable people from the first shot?
Morvoran total projectile length of L27A1 is 660 mm that can never pen approx 600mm of base frontal palte protection of 80U tanks with K5 in place, which equates to protection of aprox 700mm of protection against sabot rounds. The L27A1 is not much different than A1 shell which did not pen 80U frontal plate in trials infact L27A1 is inferior in penetration (by 50mm)
Shooting the optics can happen to any tank in irl infact in ambush style tactics the same thing would have happened to Abrams tank optics would also be destroyed and tank would loose orientation especially that bigger turret ring section could easily be damaged by many apds rounds hitting it.
Legit source?
The swedish tank trials which lead to gajiin not allowing the A1 and below shells to pen the plate and cheeks this is a famous report which is being quoted alot when talking about 80U armor.
Ayo I just replied to the wrong person by mistake xD
The video was for u mb bro xD
But this does not prove that Bradely can pen armor of T90M even with apds/apfsds it would not have pened it damaging the turret rotation does not mean penetration. As stated this ambush can happen to any tank with the same result. High fragmentation rounds have greater probability in damaging equipment than apfds especially in optics section since it does not require direct hit to damage it.
Abrams have an auxiliary optic if im not wrong. Btw, the turret ring myth is false, it is a weak point yeh but is not that easy to pen nor hit like in WT, just think about even gaijin devs admited they doesnt know a single thing about the abrams armour more than the 1980 versión thats why they decided to keep the armour almost the same in game. Its not fair, but it is ilegal to publish classified documents xD
Well one thing is for certain turret ring section is bigger in Abrams than 90M you can observe that optically. Again if fired by kenetic rounds in Turret ring section especially 3bm42s penetration is certain in that section. Especially if it is a side shot.
