i remembered such situation - if the ussr tanks are bad, then we can’t help, say it to the soviet engineers.
but if nato tanks are bad, then gaijin must improve them afap!

no, ts is speaking fax.
Gaijin isn’t the one who designed T-72s and gave them such poor reverse performance.
This is both a buff and nerf at the same time for those who have autoloaders. The buff is that it absorbs spalling and rounds which make the tanks that have them more survivable especially Russian/Chinese tanks since their main weakpoint is their poor survivability. The nerf is that its another thing to repair and disabling it means you can’t reload.
Looks like just fun guy

His nickname is translit russian word, maybe just “patriot”

Their armour and armour coverage, small profile, FCS, great forward mobility which beats a lot of tanks, autoloader means no need for expert or ace crew to get competitive reload, and low weight means they don’t lose a lot of speed when turning. Also since they’re covered by a lot of armour pieces such as ERA, there’s a higher chance for your round to disappear because of volumetric.

How the tables have turned now that Russia or any autoloader mbt doesnt seal club everything with their trolly armor and standard reload .

Gaijin loves only Russia.
‘Top tear’ is about right to be honest…

I can see if I can find something, but this was based on the fact that the reload of the T14 was slowed to 10 seconds a round.
That only makes sense if the autoloader is still unreliable at the 7 (6.5) second cycle time since the autoloader of the T14 is inaccessible to the crew under combat conditions.
The 50 years of development doesn’t really mean much, as there are no significant improvements done to the autoloaders in that timespan. They would be able to get the reload times down in that timefdrame, don’t you think?
The T-14 doesn’t have a 10 second reload that was an accident on a spec sheet that read 10 second reload instead of 10 rounds per minute
Again you’re basing this entire thing over a mistake because some guy made a mistake and turned 10 rounds per minute into 10 seconds per round, it literally makes no sense for it to have a worse reload i don’t think it would be physically possible to make the reload worse actually even if they just stripped out a T-90 autoloader it would still be 7.1s
There’s literally no need for autoloaders to get faster than 6s for MBTs the gunner still has to aim the gun and the commander has to spot targets or in the T-90M and T-72B3s case use the thermal lock and have the computer aim and fire for the gunner which takes time for the gun to lay, a faster autoloader only matters for artillery where having a burst of 3 rounds every second or two actually helps

The entire T-14 is an accident on a spec sheet… When Gaijin release this parade curiosity to the game, 2S38 will suddenly appear as pretty well balanced on the verge of being underpowered…
The 2s38 is balanced and the incessant whining of the average forum user who’s incapable of aiming at something that isnt the size of Shinano won’t change that fact
I mean i wouldn’t be surprised if we see it with the Leopard 2A8 maybe even sooner considering its mostly unarmoured turret also the parade tank jokes got boring years ago a real parade vehicle would be our AJAX funny that it makes its first debut in a museum

They’re exactly how they should be.

They are by no means the weakest, 3BM60 isn’t even Russia’s current-service AP shot atm.
Acceleration is perfectly fine, and if you have an issue with the reverse gear you should take it up with Kartsev.
Every nation’s fuel explodes.
Ok…? It’s nothing but a module.
T-80s use different autoloaders than the T-64s… Hell, the T-64 has even gone through 3 different MZ variants throughout its production and modernization.
The T-64 could reload in 6.5 seconds if it was a direct 1:1 rotation, though that isn’t commonly oriented as such.
It didn’t have any increased chance of “jamming” if loaded faster. I’m not even sure how it would jam.
The T-72 could as well, though I believe it’s used as a balancing factor as its “standard” loadout is technically mixed.

Simply not catch pallet, thats possible

Also, theres very good video about how MZ works, by Ukrainian tank crew.
At 29:35 described that you still need to take pallet, which btw will give same reload on T-80(late models, like U/UD) as T-64. Only difference in them will be that T-64 might require way more time, simply just because cant remember all shells in MZ, while U/UD(also late T-64 modified by Ukraine) can do that and use reverse when that will be faster.
