I mean gaijins justification for adding this
was that it would primarily fill empty space so as to not punish someone for doing nothing wrong, but stuff like the t72b3m and other russian style tanks already have something there so I feel the bigger target should be things like the ariete, challenger, type90/type10, leclercs, and the merkavas which dont have autoloaders or the newer turret rings
Despite that, they still said they will add to every other nation and I don’t see any progress being done this update.
yeah I agree with that, I’m just not sure why you used the t72b3m as your example
Because it’s a new top tier vehicle being introduced, jut like the VT5, it should’ve gotten the turret basket “feature”
and maybe it still will, the dev server is closed we cant know anything till the update comes out
DEV server is never final, one of the biggest things is in fact characteristics of vehicles.
(The Dev Server is Opening with Major Update “Leviathans”! — 30.05.2025 - Server is now locked)
Practically every major update there are thigs missing in the DEV server and things aren’t working fully as intended that likely be fixed before going live. Not everything is always fixed before live though, and the live update often comes with new issues as well so it might take a little while before everything is ironed out.
Gaijin’s stance on releasing “features” for certain nations and not all at the same time speaks volume. What makes it even more infuriating is that it’s non existent on a new vehicle for one nation in particular. Either have the mechanic on all new vehicles or drop it completely.
THe leclercs have autoloaders, they are just in the back of the turret. They also only have 3 crewmembers
Don’t think the russian tanks should be prioritized for such change. They already got autoloader there.
And because it has an autoloader there, we should ignore the reality that it doesn’t have a basket in real life?
Turret baskets aren’t just a top tier thing.
Tell me, did the new Leclerc came with a turret basket on the dev ?
Ain’t saying that it should be ignored, it’s just not the most urgent change that should be implemented.
Yes, yes it is. Equalize ALL vehicles in the same way.
Challengers, Ariete and Merkavas struggle enough bruh, also I got this picture showing a Challenger 2 with the turret off, no sign of a basket
Is it even possible to shoot a russian tank in a way that only damages the turret basket and not kill 2 crew or detonate the ammo in the auto loader?
yes so why dont they just make it if their autoloader is damaged it prevents turret rotation?
it makes much more sense than a turret basket jamming rotation
yes, it happens pretty often where T series eat sideshots, particularly from stuff like HSTVL
I assume you mean carousel style autoloders? cause Type90/10 and Leclercs def have autoloaders
Eitherway, the vehicles in the USSR shouldn’t get a free pass to avoid turret rings simply because of their design choice when it comes to autoloaders
an autoloader that’s weirdly good at protecting the ammo from detonating for some reason too, seriously it’s amazing how many shells some of them can take, especially from autocannons
And annoying as hell when you shoot a T-80/90 in the side, only take out their autoloader and then get beamed
where leclerc basket ???
everyone that has one should get them
cause according to devs its a buff so heres leclerc buff
