I'm too impatient to wait for the next patch to come out to find answers, so this is merely a question for test server players.

I saw in 7.4 patch notes that the "autoloader will be shown in artillery overhead mode". Does this mean that the higher tier arty will have autoloaders? If so, what's the wait between shots in a magazine? 10 sec or so?

yes, there is auto loader
but about the intra drum reload...not sure, i dont play test server as there are too many TKers

Ah, I wish the devs would carry punishments ban-wise from the test server to the real server.

P.S. Every time I post something, you always answer first. Thanks.

Only the Batchat 155 will have the auto loader with a 360 degrees traverse. It's roughly 2-3 seconds between shots, 4 shots a drum. Reload is roughly 1 minute with rammer and 100% crew from what I've read.

Their trait is faster and faster hitting 155mm guns. They don't do tons of damage per shot basis but maximizing their rapid firing abilities to churn out the DPM. Think of the M7 priest but instead of shooting pebbles, you're shooting big rocks. Oh and their mobility is FAST fully upgraded.

The teamkilling isnt that bad... one in about every 5-8 games

Damn, and I was getting so pumped about autoloaders in the lower tiers. Now I'll have to grind another high tier arty.

And I only have the GwPanther and S-51. Groan, it'll be that AND a tier 7 arty to grind.

man...stick to one target, at most two
i now have 3 most played tanks
Churchill for credits to the Lorraine, GwP for xp to GwT, Marder II for the second TD line and for fun
i had a KT but i found myself couldn finance it

now the Lorraine is my first target cuz it will become T9 in 7.5 (700K more silver to go!!)
GwT is my second target cuz i wanna use that 210 gun (again, for fun) (6K xp, 3M cred after buying Lorraine)
Marder II? Really a fun tank, possible to kill a KV in a Tier 3!! Love it (2nd TD line coming...soon...)
The last one is the KT grinding to E-75 but this is the very last position, cuz they are hard to finance (later...)

Only T8 one gets a loader, but some of them get 360 degree turrets.

If you could not finance KT, are you sure you will be able to finance a Lorraine, especially after it becomes T9? Just curious.

I for myself can play T8s quite comfortably and make some credits, but breaking even in T9 tanks for me take real effort without running a farmer.

so what is hear is super fast ROF with low-ish alpha, i though that would be the frenchs selling point. do they have good ammo loads if the ROF is that fast?

PS fast ROFin comparsion to others in tier of course
