Turret Baskets in top tier - Broken Promises

They can only be applied to tanks that have them.

@Grossaaaa
The autoloader module is a nerf to T-series tanks. not a buff.
Autoloader cannot stop rounds from hitting ammo and cooking off the tank.

@CHARM_3
Powered turret traverse can be disabled if hull present autoloaders, rotating floors, or baskets are damaged, and it’d be fine.

@Cloudzy26160
Adding Pantsir equivalents to all tech trees would’ve kept IR AGM CAS OP.

I find it unfortunate that Stona closed two of the discussions without giving much of any reason. As well, it’s unfortunate that Gaijin decided to temporarily disable the FCS on eastern tanks until more get them, but hasn’t done so for the Abrams or Leo. (To my knowledge, this still hasn’t changed months later either). These systems should only be applied once all top-tier nations are affected.

I was more talking about if the turret floor gets damaged as a way to implement a turret basket like system bc it doesn’t have one

Yeah, I am not fully sure and did just assume they went with the same system as the chally 1, but I wasn’t sure bc I have heard some people say it does have one. Those people being former tankers, but they might not know how it exactly works

Could you share the source for that? It sounds like an interesting read.

Yh but we have no evidence of it. We cant just imagine oe guess.

So most tanks at top tier do, the chally 2 is the exception so I understand if it doesn’t get one.

gaijin just cant admit that western systems are superior in any way and eastern stuff need big buffs to be even comparable to western ones.

Leclercs also lack turret baskets but I know you won’t cry about it because it doesn’t fit your narrative.

i dont have one but hearing the french the leclercs miss a lot more than just a basket

You sure do.

uhh… no i dont have a leclerk

I’d like the baskets removed/reduced massively in size so they’re comparable with other tanks, like before.

No, but you have an agenda.

i have no reason to have a pro leclerc bias

I’m not talking about pro-Leclerc bias.

The autoloader is a mixed bag, it dose help by catching a lot of spall that other wise may have caused a detonation, that also happens in my Japanese MBTs so it’s an autoloader issue, not a Russia issue. I think people confuse hitting the carousel with hitting the ammo, while before the detailed autoloader model the spalling would usually detonate a half empty carousel even if you hit the empty part, now the components eat most of it. I’ve also noticed you cant see the ammo location in the carousel anymore, so you can’t tell if you are hitting ammo or empty trays.
That said I usually lose the autoloader to shot that otherwise would do little to no damage far more often than it prevents an ammo detonation that would have killed me pre-autoloader, you certainly spend far more time repairing because of it.
So while it can save you from time to time even calling it a sidegrage might be a bit much, maybe a nerf with some beneficial side effects.
Turret baskets on the other hand are just a nerf.

I agree, I was keeping my opinions on CAS watered down to not derail the topic by starting another CAS/SPAA fight in it, there is enough threads on that already.
