Falathi:  No. All the thing here means that there are still two more runs of the Frontlines this year so if someone is interested in the special tank rewards and better score there is still chance to play it and to get it  

Falathi:  Myślę, że gdy już będziemy mieć nowych moderatorów będą oni mieli okazję, by się przedstawić bardziej formalnie. Być może forma wywiadu nie byłaby złym pomysłem  
 

Falathi: Hmm... let`s think about it for a moment. 

This is a PVP game, meaning that players are facing each other meaning that when it comes to the long term performance players can be distributed according to the normal distribution. In other words: there will be a large pool of average players ( some being below average, some above ), then a smaller number of bad and smaller number of good players and so on until we reach the ends of spectrum, with a fraction of a percent of extremely good - and similar amount of extremely bad players. . I believe you can see more than a few graphs here and there on 3rd party sites.  Now, let`s put aside for a moment the question why some players are good, some bad and if and how much should it matter.  Let`s go on with the thought experiment and follow the idea that for some reason, all players who are not at least above average stop playing. Like, they are magically removed, or barred, or quit - whatever, they are gone, can`t be seen on the server anymore. 
How would it affect other players? And oh, let`s be optimistic and let`s assume here that there would be no impact on the queues for the battles, MM, tiers distribution and so on. 
For first - yes, you would have in your team players who have better average knowledge of the game, but in the same time all players who normally could make easy targets are gone too. Actually dealing damage wouldn`t become easier. Second result - the math behind assessment of the player`s skill wouldn`t change, players would still be facing normal distribution, meaning that today`s above average players would become bad, good players would be considered average at best and so on. And oh, the numbers of people who would still be unicums is going to be reduced as well. 
Would it decrease frustration after defeats? 
Frankly, I don`t think so, I think we wouldn`t see any improvement there. The game would be different in some aspects, but I seriously doubt it would be better, also from the very good player`s point of view.  Therefore I think that the idea that average players should leave something they are not good at wouldn`t really solve any issue, and wouldn`t make everyone`s life easier.  Now, we shouldn`t forget one more important thing: players have not only different in-game skills, but also much different attitude towards the game: some really want to excel at it. Some simply are content with being good at it, but not necessarily by going hardcore. Others may treat it simply as a fun way of spending time, disregarding their performance. Others yet may treat it as fun or may be willing to improve, but can`t - for example, they may be lacking reflex that is necessary above certain skill level. And so on. 
That being said - they all have their place in the game. 
 

Falathi:  Gdyby jeszcze zgłoszenie miało taką formę, jak opisaną w wątku...  

Falathi:  Uważam, że lepiej napisać wprost jakie są nasze oczekiwania i możliwości w kwestii wynagrodzenia. 

PS Muszę powiedzieć, że już mamy kilkoro kandydatów, i to całkiem sensownych. 

Falathi: Chciałbym zauważyć, że w proponowanej ofercie to nie kubek kosztuje nie wiadomo ile - jeśli zrobicie zakupy za odpowiednią sumę, to otrzymacie go gratis. W dodatku możecie przecież kupić od razu kilka rzeczy, zwłaszcza, że jest wyprzedaż  
 

Falathi:  To zdradzimy bliżej listopada. Na razie mogę powiedzieć tyle, że coś będzie  

Falathi:  Tak jak wspomniałem, trzeba by serii artykułów żeby opisać dokładniej stosowane rozwiązania.  To, co piszesz o połączeniu dotyczy nowszych konstrukcji gdzie faktycznie rozwiązano problem jak zrobić taki mechanizm ładujący, który umozliwia ładowanie działa w sposób stosunkowo mało skomplikowany, jest dość niezawodny, nie zajmuje zbyt dużo miejsca i pozwala na ładowanie różnych typów amunicji. Z tego, co wiem konstrukcje z wcześniejszego okresu miały spore problemy ze spełnieniem tych wymogów jednocześnie. 

Falathi:  Yes - but it`s a modest caliber. Also, I believe that few other things could have mattered, such as: 1. In tank you are expected to swap between ammunition types. It`s possible to be forced to swap them more than once over a short period of time. The autoloader should enable that - in case of AA guns this is not such a big issue. 2. Unlike the AA positions on ships of the era, you should rather build a turret with a substantial armor. Its weight is another factor that limits amount of space inside, even if not directly. 3. One more issue: autoloader in the tank should, ideally, enable use of all the ammunition in tank. A small ready rack is an option, but then you still need a loader to prepare the rack one the first one is spent. In case of AA guns, this is not a necessity as these stations were fed from the magazines and had more space to store ready ammunition around. Again, this makes design of the autoloader bit more complicated.  I think that these factors were important, along with reliability. On a large ship failure of one gun was not a huge problem itself and actually it was expected to happen due to the enemy action. In case of a tank, loss of one gun makes everything way more problematic  
 

Falathi:  Ah, I see. 
Frankly, I do not know - I guess, but it`s really just a guess that the issue could have been the fact that in such guns you have basically loose shells in the magazine and the gun is fed from above, with shells moving thanks to their own weight. Such a construction would make the turret unnecessarily tall - and putting the shells below the gun would make it necessary to construct a reliable feeder not relying on the weight of the shells. And this probably would again cause problems with the reliability of the whole thing. But - it`s just my guess. 

Jahpero: Soutient aux modérateurs FR dans leur reconversion, toute contribution est la bienvenue :Cagnotte Paypal anonyme    

Falathi:  True, but I assume there are reasons behind it: AA guns were usually in open positions, with relatively simple feeding mechanism and if they jammed they could be fixed relatively easily. Of course - much depends on which gun in particular we`re talking about but as a rule this was not a big problem. Also, smaller caliber AA guns ( like up to 37-40mm ) were usually fed with clips or drums which is a bit different story than the 75mm and larger caliber guns. Which leads to another thing - the big naval guns. These weren`t loaded manually in any case as the shells were way too heavy for it (to give a general idea: 150mm shell already can weigh around 40-50 kg without the propellant. 203mm shell gets closer to 100kg, and battleships guns go for hundreds of kgs. However, the mechanisms used to few them would be difficult to put into a tank as they operated in a different way, with sort of elevators lifting the shells from the magazines, then there was a mechanism to put the shell on a cradle, next thing was the use of rammer to place the shell in the gun and so on - but all this would take a ton of space inside of a tank and would require a complex crew to make sure it works correctly.I assume that parts of this mechanism were taken into consideration ( for example the pretty much automated 203 mm guns used on the Des Moines class ) but much had to be reworked to adapt the idea for a tank. Keep in mind, that - for example - in the naval gunnery the height of a turret was not a big issue as it was several meters tall anyway. In case of the tank you can`t simply make it as tall as you with to fit your fancy mechanism in. I guess there were for other, similar issues as well.

Google translate konusu ise başvurmak isteyip, dil konusunda çekincesi olanların daha rahat bir şekilde başvurması içindir.

Falathi:  This is true. Usually, the loader and driver are most busy with these tasks. However, these tasks can - at least in some cases - be performed by the rest of the crew, or extra crews. Much depends on the tank and the conditions though.  When it comes to drawbacks:  it took quite some time for autoloaders to become something used on regular basis, as initial designs had often serious reliability issues.This for example is one of the reasons why the T22 E1 remained what it was - a one time prototype, and not a regular tank ( the other big reason was the fact that 76mm gun was seen as not powerful enough for the new generation of tanks ). In the modern era autoloading systems are usually reliable enough. Of course, they can still fail but let`s face it: in a complicated machine like a modern tank there`s a lot of stuff that can fail and cause a serious problem for the crew in the combat situation. 
Speaking of reliability: IIRC one of the reasons an autoloader was used with success on the AMX 13 tanks was the fact that its design was pretty simple and easy to operate and therefore reliable as there simply weren`t many elements prone to damage, or difficult to replace. The other important factor was - as mentioned in the article - the oscillating turret. You see, these early designs required alignment with the gun which oscillating turret would provide. However, such a turret does not offer great protection due to its construction - but in case of a light tank this didn`t matter as it was not expected to offer protection against heavy fire anyway.  And since we`re at the alignment thingy... this was another reason why autoloaders haven`t become ubiquitous earlier: the fact that you have to load the gun only in given position means that after each fire you have to realing your gun and then track the target again after firing and this makes the task of hitting the enemy more difficult. There were also other design issues - IIRC the T62 was famous in the Red Army for its notoriously dangerous autoloading mechanism as it could catch piece of uniform of a soldier leading to injuries. 
This leads to another issue - the safety. As pretty much everyone knows tank can be damage more or less serious and in many cases can be repaired once you have time and the team to evacuate it from the battlefield and get it to a repair shop. However, if the tank burns out or it suffers explosion of the ammunition the result is just a wreck that can only be scrapped. Also, if the tank gets hit and the ammunition explodes ( actually, it`s bit more complicated with deflagration and stuff... but I digress ) then the crew is usually done for.  At least, that`s how it used to be during WWII and decades afterwards. Now, however, the solution is to design the tanks in such a way that energy of the explosion of the ammunition is projected outside of the vehicle without destroying the interior and the crew. The problem is, though, that this adds another level of difficulty if you want to use auto reloading mechanism and still benefit from the increased safety of the crew. For example, one of the more reliable and standard reloading systems used in the early T-72 tanks stored ammunition and propellant charged in a carousel at the bottom of the turret - it worked great for reloading purposes, but any hit in the side of the tank below the turret could lead to massive explosion, dooming the crew.  To end this post before it gets too long - I do not know much about auto reloading mechanisms that were designed around WWII Perhaps you guys know a thing or two about it? 
I mean I know that some projects existed. I`ve seen pictures of a German design of the 8,8cm KwK with extra mechanism to quickly reload another two shots, but not much beyond that. Anyone?

Falathi: Hey!

The thing is that YES, Mauerbrecher has very decent soft stats of the gun, meaning that you don`t have to aim carefully to actually hit the enemy. I know, it sounds unlike many German guns but that`s how it is. On this note: Panther II with the L71 KwK gun also has pretty decent soft stats which make this gun a better option than the in game stats alone would suggest.  Now, when it comes to the tank: for me Mauerbrecher is not so great. I know some good (as in: violet stats) players who say that it`s under appreciated and most people simply do not realize its potential.  It might be true, but for me the one factor that prevents me from playing it often is the speed. It`s not about the tank, I`ve never been a fan of slow tanks.

Delhroh: Hola, Ya he pasado nota para subsanar el problema. Disculpad las molestias ocasionadas.

Delhroh: El Pz 35 no está mal. Tiene un blindaje regulero, es lento y su cañón no es nada del otro mundo. Para un tier III premium está bien, aunque como tiene solo 3 tripulantes no se puede usar para entrenar tripulacions de tiers superiores.

Falathi:  Hard to say for now. Also, personally I do not know how it would be implemented - a tank with no loader, and very high ROF? ( the tests have shown ROF of 20 shots per minute was possible to achieve ) Or perhaps something like a drum, or some other solution? 
 

Falathi:  Artykuł opisuje tylko niektóre konstrukcje, które pojawiły się w grze i opisuje niektóre z względnie wczesnych rozwiązań. Dokładne opisanie automatów ładujących, stosowanych rozwiązań itd wymagałoby całej, długiej serii artykułów.  W dodatku zależy, co rozumiemy pod pojęciem automatu ładującego: magazynki jak w AMX 13 albo inne urządzenia pozwalające szybko oddać serię strzałów, ale za to wymagające potem dłuższego czasu do przeładowania, czy też rozwiązania takie, jakie są obecne w UDES 15/16 tj. mechanizm ładujący który nie umożliwia szybkiego oddania kilku strzałów, ale za to z powodzeniem zastępuje ładowniczego. 

Falathi:  I believe a lot depends on who`s holding it, tbh.

Falathi: Please consider sharing some replays with us - it`s the best way to check what exactly happened, what was the situation and chances to damage the enemy. 

Otherwise it`s just way too vague I`m afraid.   

Falathi:  Niestety, nie. Zniżki się nie kumulują. 

Falathi: Wszystko w swoim czasie  

Falathi:  It works differently, but in order to discuss all the technological solutions used in the 40s-50s we would need a whole series of articles.  Also, let's remember that there are two things that often fall into the same category of autoloaders: - mechanisms that served to deliver few shots in quick succession, but then needed a reload of the whole mechanism. Such mechanisms were designed by the Germans towards end of the war ( they tried to make 8,8cm gun with mechanism to quickly reload the gun with another 2-3 shells after the first one was fired ), also IIRC they are pretty often used in the modern artillery, to make sure that they can provide intense barrage in a very short amount of time.  - mechanisms that were intended to replace the loader completely and allow to load all ammunition available, but not necessarily allowing for quick bursts or much higher rate of fire than tanks with loader on board. In game, a good example is the Stridsvagn 103 - no quick salvos, but all the ammunition is loaded by the mechanism. Also, IRL example of such solution would be the T-72 MBT.  AMX 13 is an interesting case here, because you can say that it combines both approaches: thanks to its double drum magazine it can fire several shots in a short amount of time - but IRL once these two drums are emptied they need to be reloaded externally, meaning they contain all the ammunition available for the tank.
