VT4 autoloader position issue

Game Discussion General Discussion

in the live server now, once again, the VT4’s autoloader is placed in the wrong position.
gaijin fixed it in the dev server but in some reason, they canceled it and maintained the bug.
for now,the layout of VT4 is like this:

the crew suspended in the air, while the magazine is far away below the gun.
But according to this Thai document:

the magazine should be like this:

look how close it it to the gun.
now in the game,the shell thrower ring is far below the gun rear, while it should be at the same height as the gun:

In fact, shell thrower were incorrectly modeled twice in the game, and it is obvious that the position of the shell thrower of the autoloader displays the error of the entire autoloader position.

a lot of Chinese tanks and T-90 series tank have the same bug for at least one year.
the detail can be find here:
T-90 series/Chinese ZTZ series tank autoloader/magazine position issue - Machinery of War Discussion / Ground Vehicle - War Thunder — official forum
it’s not difficult to fix, gaijin have fixed it once anyway,but didn’t in the live server.
it was correct at least in client version 2.50.0.30
maybe you can find the past files to correct this.

Does it really make that much of a difference though? Sure, the more accurate, the better, but gaijin needs to focus on the more incorrectly modelled vehicles rather that tiny changes such as these

Having your ammunition sitting too low means it is sitting below the level of the UFPs armour, a fairly large issue in tanks that lack the gun depression to fight hull down. If the carousel is moved to its proper location than in order to hit it from the front you would need to pen the UFP as a shot penning the LFP would pass underneath it.

On the T-90 series, this has little impact because its misalignment is not very obvious and the LFP is good enough to resist small caliber autocannons. but Chinese tanks, due to their typically weaker LFP, incorrect positioning can make the vehicle easier to kill by autocannons, Small caliber rounds can easily pen the LFP and hit its ammo.Not to mention large caliber APFSDS. basically penetration equals to destruction
