Supertest - Italian Tanks Mechanics

Kandly: Hey guys! Remember what we said about Italian tanks and “autoreloading”? Well, we’re about to start fine tuning this new mechanic in closed tests—on full scale in-game 3D tank mockups equipped with autoreloaders tuned for Tiers VIII, IX, and X. Currently our main objectives are:defining the optimal reloading time—both for shifting shells inside the cylinder, and adding new ones when the cylinder is partially empty; balancing other values like DPM and penetration. This complex approach will make sure that upper-tier Italian tanks with autoreloaders are fun to play and not over - or underpowered.
As for the 3D mockups mentioned above, these are crude models with little detail, which we also call “tank dummies”. They are similar in shape, armoring, and dimensions to real tanks that appear later on. We test new mechanics before we introduce new vehicles, and the dummies really come in handy as placeholders.  Cheers, Kandly
