Why do they have the Commander as the Radio Operator?

When I crewed the M41 Walker Bulldog the loader was the radio operator.

And the commander has 9 skills while the loader has 7. By making a loader/operaor you can get some useful skills from the loader and the operator position.

13 90 might be fine since it still has the autoloader going for it. wz-132 going to be totally outclassed if it stays the same.

light tanks do not get significantly better camo than mediums. it’s actually pretty stupid how close they are and the camo reduction while moving is not 50%.

the object 416 has better camo than the wz-132 by over 7%!!!! and it only has 2% less camo than the wz-132 while moving.

Tanks do not have clips.
Clip is not military technical hurr durr speak for magazine.
I don’t know who started that, but it’s wrong.
A real clip fed weapon is for example the M1 Garand rifle. You know. The thing that goes *PLING*, when you reload. You see the thing that gets pushed into the loading chamber of the rifle that holds the rounds?
That’s a clip.
Show me that this 90mm tank gun had a giant clip loading system and I take everything back.

Autoloaded tank guns mostly utilize drums. Like the AMX 13 90 for example. Or as a more general term “container”.

You won’t often find yourself in a situation where you can unload your entire clip into someone without recieving 2-3 shells in return.

Well, tomatoes like to trade shots with autoloaders like that.

Tell me, when playing the AMX 50 120, how often do you get to unload all 4 shells in one go?

10 shots is 18s or so… You will not expose yourself for that long in a LT and live to tell the tale. Trust me on this.

All of the non-Soviet tanks are petty much auto-pen for my WZ-132 still, only the Soviets present a challenge in the form of scout hunters… but really, Tier 9 mediums do it better anyhow, and German scouts for one have less camo than Soviet mediums most of the time.

Not nessesarily tomatoes. They just have different uses. You can can a large burst of damage in much quicker with autoloader, or do consistent damage slower. it’s up to you.
