Well it's automated, but in real life the turret would have to turn directly forward.

@@aiedenoldstien9751 As silly as it sounds 775 was fully built with proper materials and equipment in two variants: One with the diesel engine and the other with twin gas turbine. There were two reasons it wasn't approved for mass production: 1)The prototypes actually had the massive rubies GROWN to produce lasers capable of reliably guiding the missile to the 10km range. Any attempt to trim the cost there failed miserably. It's not expensive tank. It's freaking treasury fund on tracks. 2)The prototypes demonstrated poor visibility. Which was again, budget cuts even on the prototype stage. Original design had DIAMOND growing shenanigans to produce perfect prisms allowing 360 sight. This one hasn't made it and this is what ultimately sabotaged whole vision system. So yeah, it's not just gremlin tank. It's gremlin PIMP tank, born to bitch-slap.

[@ColorHawk_]

775 in game is kinda of scuffed version of what it was historically. Rubin reload should be around 12ish seconds and BUR rockets should reload around 6 seconds. It could carry 2 BUR rockets for every 1 Rubin due to a big size difference between the ammo types so the ammo count should be dynamic.. Ammo placement in the front hull was different than in game and fuel tanks IRL covered almost the entirety of the frontal hull (not just on the sides like in game) fuel tanks only left a small area for where the ammo was stored. Full wet storage was considered but it would have made the automatic replenishment system even more complicated than it already was so it wasn’t pursued.

I agree about top tier being boring.

Lower tiers seem to have more tactics, as well as ranging, actually having to aim, and think about what shell to use, just overall more enjoyable. Also, CAS takes a bit of skill to use, and you can actually shoot them down, instead of them sitting 12 miles out or 12 miles up and just launching rockets that guide themselves at you.

I had a funny instance happen where my black night’s APS activated on a BMP2M 2 meters away from my tank, and the APS blew the BMP’s missile up just as it launched, causing his own weapon to blow his tank up.
