We really need to have a talk about the baskets. Since the turret basket was added its just been suffering for US mains. Besides the fact we voted against this, and the model for the actual turret basket is hilariously UNREALISTIC they said it wants to rewards people for having good aim. It does NOT reward good aim. It does the exact opposite. Several times I will have all my crew alive or possibly just my engine damaged but because of the fact the turret basket is modeled as every single part of it being horizontal drive you are pretty much dead because there is nothing you can do. Not only that but like I said before it is unrealistic again going back to the damage model majority of the actual basket is just for the crew member. While the part that has to do with horizontal drive isnt that much of the drive. Gaijin wanting to be realistic added the most unrealistic thing they could have, and instead of being on every tank with a turret basket its only on a few of them because its sooooo hard to add the module. Maybe they just shouldnt have added something the community voted against. Unless theyd like to go and change the shot spalling models to be more realistic like a lot of us wanted but were ignored in favor of the louder minority in the community.
This is like the 10th thread about this, its probs going to be locked. You could discuss this in the dedicated threads.
Baskets and autoloaders were voted for not against.
Yes, autoloaders and baskets should have more HP, but they are very mush supported by most.
No we don’t.
no no it wasnt. components for LIGHT TANKS were approved by the community. However asked on opinions for it there was a vote where unsurprisingly people said no…
Na anywhere its mentioned theyd rather lock and ignore it cause it goes against how “realistic” it is and how they have gone back on what they have said. That being that the damage model would be changed outside of test servers. SHOCKER it was only changed for leo
The baskets are very similar on the 2, virtually no difference.
Components for ALL tanks were voted on, with light tanks being given first priority.*
Fixed it for you.
Either way y’all voted for these. I voted against autoloaders originally for this exact reason; and since they’ve been added I just learned to deal with them.
You made the bed so sleep in it. Adapt and overcome, and use the survival onion more often.
Oh, and of course support higher HP for autoloaders and baskets.
very similar? have you seen the damage model? One is the entire basket and the other is the top ring and the bottom for some reason
? no, its just that the driving motors/hydraulic systems are a damageable part of the turret ring and always have been on 90% of top tiers, and this system is much bigger on the abrams, if you look at the turret ring from many angles youll see only the front right part (looking at the tank) is damageable (apart from the top and bottom)
As person who likes ifvs I like this update and I wish all tanks got those baskets. Autocannons like bushmaster became more viable because now you can punish blind players by knocking out their engine and turret drive without fear that they’ll strike you back with simpson or tomato gunners
