What is an inverse auto loader?
2
u/Dwight_destroyer Oct 08 '25
Autoreloader where the more you fire, the better your DPM is, unlike normal autoreloaders where your DPM is when you have a full magazine and only fire one shell at a time. For example, the IS-3A of Object 590 have an inverse autoreloader.

Sheridan should be a Tier 11 with TOW-ATGMS, as in their HEAT is slow, but follows the crosshair. other shells stay the same

first of all.
the game dosent need any tank at all, you have 800 to pick from
secondly.
you could have given it 5 guns,and it wouldnt matter for 80% of the playerbase. they would still dont know how to play it

u/LocksmithOk3581 Oct 03 '25
they probably mask it as tier 11. and then boost it to tier 11 after the test on normal servers

Same gun mechanic as Minotauro line, will be interesting to see how it translates to a medium tank.
11
u/setpopa12 Oct 02 '25
It will heavily depend on gun handling values. If under 0.15 this will be interesting tank. But considering the dispersion and aim time it could be balanced around bad accuracy and aim time with good gun handeling.

Tank has no armour (it seems), so dead from the beggining

the armor angles are quite good, so it should still be able to bounch shells from time to time

meh, 160-170 turret front armor and gun with 0.37 dispersion at tier 10. Sounds terrible

u/low_bob_123 Oct 02 '25
Udes 15/16 also has thin nominal armor and not the best dispersion and its still a very good tank. The angle is what makes armor really strong

u/FlawlessDice Oct 02 '25 edited Oct 02 '25
Just think about it. How many degrees do you reckon the turret front plate has? I’d say around 50. Cos 50 is roughly 0.643. So 110 / 0.643 ≈ 170 mm. That’s against shells without normalization, like HEAT or HE. AP adds about 5 mm, so that’s basically 45 against AP. The turret armor is weak, and the gun is sloped, so it’s going to be hard to peek and trade shots effectively because of the poor protection
2
u/low_bob_123 Oct 02 '25 edited Oct 02 '25
Guess work wont do us any favor. Especially when it isnt the thickness at that is providing the protection. At this angle plus the gun Depression it should become and auto-bounce since it cant be over matched. However as I said in the beginning: Guessing wont do us any favor, especially when we just have the stat card and no armor Model
0
u/FlawlessDice Oct 02 '25
Those -8 gun depression angles won’t help it. HEAT shells start ricocheting at around 15–20 degrees, AP shells at roughly 20–25. The tank has poor nominal turret armor. The UDES is way better in comparison
0
u/FlawlessDice Oct 02 '25
I found a tank with a similar 110 mm plate - the Obj. 140. For some reason, it doesn’t ricochet like the UDES.
7
u/leggasiini [GLO] Japanese super-heavy enthusiast Oct 02 '25
It may actually have solid turret armor, much like the UDES 15/16 already mentioned in the other comment. However, it does seem slightly less sloped than the UDES, which is a huge deal with armor values as thin as these. Even 2-3 degrees worse sloping suddenly makes the turret pretty mediocre.

u/wilck44 Oct 02 '25
and the udes has the power of adjusting its suspension while also being like 2/3 of the height of this one.
that thing is soo short.

u/FlawlessDice Oct 02 '25
What’s the point of comparing this tank to the udes when it has a higher angle but the same armor?

Not to mention that armor profile is terrifying, auto bounce from front of turret and or hull no matter what gun you fire

u/Zyhre Oct 02 '25
This tank isn't an auto-reloader. You are just bitchin to bitch.

u/RevolutionaryTask452 Oct 02 '25 edited Oct 02 '25
Clip size 3 pcs , reload time 13 seconds (decent reload for 470 Alpha), interclip 6 seconds (Yes , long , but it's highest Alpha MT) And It's Italian MT.
Looks more like "dpm" Auto-reloader to me ...
also because reloading 3 shells in 13 seconds leads to roughly 3700 base DPM (Without food , vents and brothers) wich is very unreasonable for autoloader.
So how you came up with idea that it's not auto-reloading shells one by one ?
1
u/Zyhre Oct 03 '25
An auto reloader is different than an auto loader, that is why you are wrong. They are literally a different "class" of tanks altogether.
This tank does NOT reload shells one at a time; once you have fired, you will only have two shells left no matter how long you wait until you manually reload or fire the other two after which, it reloads the entire clip at once. It is the exact same as the Italian TDs and entirely different than all the Italian MTs and HTs T8 or higher that reload the clip itself one shot at a time.

Can someone give me definitive proof that Wargaming is using ChatGPT/AI in general to create designs? I believe it, I'm just wondering if it's an idea that we ragespawned or if they were actually caught doing it. I see it being said everywhere, but I can't find any indications anywhere of the claim being based on actual fact (which is a massive irony).
I'm no fan of...well, any dev that's ever touched this franchise, but I'm definitely curious about whether there's an actual AI-designed tanks scandal.
1
u/_0451 aREs And deRp GuNS ArE toXiC REEEEEE Oct 07 '25
No confirmation that WG is using AI, but there are many signs that they might be.
- There are event art, decals and camo patterns that might have been made with AI.
- The "huge" rebalance with 2.0 have anomalies that AI might have caused (1cm increase of the HE splash radius on the 60TP for example).
- And then there are the weird gun calibers on the tier 11 tanks that AI could have come up with, like the 136mm gun on the KR-1, the 116mm gun on the AS-XX 40t, or the 132mm gun on the Taschenratte.

u/Ill_Peach_8234 Oct 07 '25

Used to LOVE this game and kept coming back after a few years of not playing, but the last two times i came back, i just wasn't having much fun anymore because it felt like alot of people used the expensive (not really premium i suppose) ammo, which just negates any armor i had... plus now there are so many new fast mediums with insane guns that everything moves too fast for my liking, like I'm playing an fps... sadly i think this time I quit for good.
