[@turkeyboy5543]

Not actually a bug, it is a stated change in one of the changelogs from at least a year or two ago. People only just now realized how strong it is lol.

[@robi__0768]

It doesn't give you depression it just gives you the ability to guide the missile downwards more. The missile is still launched in the direction that the launcher is in. For example in the rakjpz(HOT) I screwed myself multiple times by using gun elevation, and the missile just went above them because it didn't have enough time to turn.

A skilled M1A2 loader can load the main gun in 3 sec there is a reason why some US tanks/weaponry not like in IRL For example the HSTVL has burst fire mode M829A2 has anti ERA tip, DM53 as well AH64D has access to AGM114L ( gaijin denied it because to OP what is true even with singele target tracking ) or we not going to see Javelin missile for obvious reason How funny that RU TT can get all the historical accurate stuff but not other nations

@@csorbalaszlo1920 this is not just the case for the m1a2, even the type 10 autoloader has been timed at 2.5 seconds. What people need to realize is that Gaijin and many others have explained that this is not a sustained rate of fire and just because one example can be taken doesn't mean it applies everywhere. Gaijin takes the average loading time or slightly alters it for balancing purposes, I believe spookston has explained this himself when it comes to the HSTVL fire rate (correct me if I'm wrong). 😊

2:27 I got to see an irl example of that RDF-LT you love, today. I believe it was in running condition. In person, it seems unassuming due to its shortness and was dwarfed by the EFV next to it.

Honestly, I feel like the reason the Army picked the M8 way back when is because they looked at the size of that turret and went "yeah you can probably stuff a 120mm in there". Either that or wanting to phase out the L7/M68 gun and not wanting to be too conspicuous. Or it just boils down to the same reason the F-22 and F-35 were chosen over their competitors: It just looks more conventional and therefore definitely won't have budget overruns!

Spookston, can you look into how the drones are not balanced ? The chinese drone is a lot worse compared to the MQ and Orion, which is realistic but I do not think with a "killstreak" there should be such imbalance. They hit a lot less, they have 2KM less range (which makes a big difference since you often spawn 1-2KM outside of the range for the Wing Long, forcing you to fly closer to enemy SPAA) and less pen (thought tandem so not that big of a deal)

Given the problems that the Stryker Gun System had? Probably because of the autoloading system had similar problems.
