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.
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
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.
