There is a serious issue with the gears of the OF-40 Mk.2A. When using the game’s automatic transmission, it is almost impossible for it to switch to 7th gear and maintain acceleration in this gear.
I hope the developers can fix this issue, as it is clearly not related to the real-world data or transmission system parameters. In reality, it is impossible for an automatic transmission to skip a gear. Moreover, the tank can normally accelerate by manually shifting to 7th gear.
Thank you very much.

Specifically, in the game, when operating this tank, you cannot switch to 7th gear except by manually shifting gears. At the very least, the time spent in this gear is very short, which is clearly abnormal. The tank quickly shifts from 6th gear to 8th gear, resulting in very low RPMs in 8th gear, which may even prevent continued acceleration under certain conditions. However, if you manually shift gears, the tank can normally accelerate in 7th gear. I believe this is entirely due to errors in the automatic transmission. Other vehicles in the game do not have this problem, and even other OF-40s do not have this issue. This problem is very severe, causing a significant decrease in the mobility of the OF-40 Mk.2A, making it unable to keep up with the OF-40. The consistency of its mobility and power-to-weight ratio is also significantly affected.
The game engine and/Devs can’t model transmissions/BHP/Torque and thus they’re taking shortcuts, unless gaijin switches engine or makes some serious 2025 improvements to it and hires more Devs, it’s simply not something that’s in the books, unfortunately.
