Another thing that youd only know if u served is there is a standard for reloading speed, the minimum reload time if i remember correctly us about 7 seconds and thats because thats around how fast an autoloader loads (at least allegedly) however most guys can do it in 5 and a decent amount of dudes can manage as low as 2 or 3 seconds with a well organized ready rack.
Also(at least with an abrams) the stamina thing isnt a hard to.manage as most believe since if u notice in vids the majority of ur rounds are at chest level or higher and at a sligjt angle so they slide out to you making extracting them incredibly easy and untaxing, most of tge labor comes after u flop and drop it and npw have to punxh it in. Whuxh us like a second of effort. So its not actyally very physically taxing believe it or not, tge real taxing part is hauling rounds up and into tye tank and actyally into tge ready rack itself
@@theblazingpegasus9151 I thought that door you opened and closed was a big deal too. He mentioned survivability but should have detailed the importance of compartmentalization in an Abrams. I didn't like the way munitions were stored in most NATO vehicles. The Brazilian Leopard is a death trap! Sometimes (rarely) my LAVs had live 25mm ammunition just hanging about. I've seen worse inside of a few Bradleys -although there's nothing I could say to a soldier. If I found an LAV looking like a dorm room, the whole platoon knew about it immediately
@gavinsimmonsmccullum4219 ye, the ammo is kept in an armored co partment thats hydraulically sealed to protext tye crew if a ammo detonation happens. Tho the tank in general is mega survivable. All its redundancies makes it near impissible to take outta the fight shy of killing the crew.
Auto loaders just have a certain "pop" to them
Like "pop" goes the turret!

Doesn’t help against the drones and uranium core sabots
