Ah, thank you.
Before that I believed that only 6EC43 autoloaders were able to do it in 6 seconds, not taking people saying eveb BV should have 6 seconds seriously.
6EC43 being on the T-80U/UD.
If this manual would be to change anything, it would affect T-64B/BV, T-80B/BV/BVM, to change reloading time on T-80U/UD we already have a manual showing 6 seconds reload.
The Thai documents also says 6.5 seconds which makes more sense. The Chinese CCTV 7 has a lot of footage of tanks firing, especially ztz96a, which in the reload rate are all consistent with a 6.5 seconds. So I think that is more sensible reload time.
What Thai document???
And again, provide footage.

Turns out they’ve already seen the literal T-80B manual and don’t care.
He is most likley talking about the thai VT4 manual, you can find it online.
Iirc it mentioned a fire rate of 9 shells per minute, so ~6.6s per round.
Yet they take greek trials as source for T-80Us, and dont take mobility reports using same greek trials as source.
I had founs a t72b manual saying much the same so i concur
The manuals have one figure without detail.
Irl the autoloader has settings that can reduce its reload time by 0.5-1 seconds.
It’s a similar case to when they mention 200m radius for f1 grenade fragmentation 🤣
Sure. Abrams and Leopard to 3.8 seconds for the first 10 rounds.
Type 10 to 3.5 seconds.
Ariete and Merkava Mk4 to ~4.8 seconds.
I can continue…
Yes and impossible to reload on the move included
Source?
???
How about we go even faster?
Full cycle with rotating the conveyor for three positions is 7.4s. We have rotating for one position, so we have 7.1s reload
He thinks manual loaders can’t load on the move, they can from low to mid speeds in bumpy terrain, it can full speed in roads but in bumpy terrain at high speeds it’s pretty hard
This was actually debunked
Using a nitrogen gas system to extract and ram the next cartridge in and using a foam system in the barrel of the Type 10, the tank can sustain its 1.2s reload for the entirety of its ready rack system
Not only does the foam system prevent excess wear and tear on the type 10, when in this mode the tank effectively enters into beast mode
The velocity of the dart due to the lubricant exceeds 2,000 meters a second.
I do have documents that back this up as well. In fact the current implementation of the Type 10 is so egregiously wrong, the variant we have in game is literally a fictional tank. It doesn’t exist with the armor specs it has in game, nor its weight, nor its penetration. Outside of the looks, suspension, and the positioning of the sights and autoloader it’s 100% wrong
Also forgot to mention the engine
Can you DM it if possible? would be an interesting read
