Why is the turret basket still a thing on tanks like the Leopard series and Abrams series. The basket has nothing to do with the turret ring in real life, in real life if the basket gets damaged the turret can still turn.
The devs should remove this and just stick with how it was or make it fair and give every country a turret basket on there tanks even though it wouldnt make sense since like i said, Even with a damaged basket the turret can turn.
can u prove they can turn without the turret basket???
saying it is ez while proving it isn’t so much.
turret baskets are here to stay, leclerc’s and type 90’s have them now so gaijin is slowly increasing them

Western tanks are currently full of electronics and other vulnerable components. For a game with mouse aim and mainly close range encounters its really too much. Almost every hit, even very bad ones, cripple your tank. Dunno…its not good for a computer game. I play less and less at top tier. Its not as much fun as it used to be.
A turret basket its just a metal floor connected to the turret ring, for the crew to move along with the turret.
To actually disable a tank horizontal aim you would need to damage the turret ring, the gunner/commander controls or a big powerful shell to completely rip the basket away from the ring (like a big AP solid shot). But no, in this game, a sabot round, a shell so thin that its not capable to deform any type of thin metal plate, completely disables the turret basket (or even spall destroys the basket).
IRL it would only leave a hole in that metal plate and nothing else.
