Your right I believe that neither of these gentlemen ever went to war on a Tank, just my thoughts. And of course the conversation removed it from Inf/assault gun concept

Prefer the Challenger that is, much more interesting and less crap.

“Due to the bulkiness of the ammunition, only 14 rounds could be carried, of which one was already loaded, with another in the loading tray. The rest were carried in two storage racks. To help with the loading of ammunition into the vehicle, a loading crane was fitted at the rear of the superstructure next to the loading hatch. Even then, the entire five man crew had to help with the loading.”

So, one was already loaded and another one ready in the loading tray. It took the whole crew to load the rockets into the vehicle, even with the help of the crane. The loader alone probably was able to reload that one rocket from the tray, but you can expect that it took more than just the single loader to load another round into the tray. I highly doubt that he did this on his own.

This is the embodiment of derp ^ ^.
I love my Su-152 derpy, but this thing is beyond belief with its caliber.
Im not surprised that WG doesn’t want to see this TD/SPG in the game :D

“Love you to explain this SS “like the conversion of StuG III into AT role meaning the infantry was left without infantry support SPG, it was not)” what he said is totally correct.”

Well, where to begin. The conversion of the StuG III from the L/24 to the L/48 gave the StuG a better AT capability. It didn’t remove it from the infantry support role nor “assault gun” concept. Challenger is not Tom Jentz & Hilary Doyle.

There were a variety of rounds with a weight of up to 376 kg (829 lb), and a maximum range of up to 6,000 m (20,000 ft), which either contained a high explosive charge of 125 kg (276 lb) or a shaped charge for use against fortifications, which could penetrate up to 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in) of reinforced concrete. The stated range of the former was 5,650 m (6,180 yd). A normal charge first accelerated the projectile to 45 m/s (150 ft/s), the 40 kg (88 lb) rocket charge then boosted this to about 250 m/s (820 ft/s).
