Title: manual tank loadout
Post by: flight17 on May 14, 2009, 10:26:15 PM: it would be nice instead of having preselected loadouts being able to customize them to your own likings. im a HP/ HVAP guy, but i preferred the HVAP since i like to get close. i mainly use the T-34/85 so the max HVAP i get is 20 i believe (havent been on for a week so cant remember). i would like to be able to take say 20 ap and 40hvap. or maybe if im going to a base which i want to take things down, i could customize it so i had 6 HE 35 HVAP and 19AP, etc...

just would be a very nice feature

AP is default for everything but the M-8 I believe.

I wish whatever was loaded last time you went to "2" stayed there instead of going back to default when you switch out of the turret and back in.

Read page 26, if it doesnt take you there automatically.

5 HVAP rounds per vehicle on average!

Post by: Strip on May 18, 2009, 12:15:57 AM: I believe the HVAP rounds are LESS effective at long rang. This is due to high aerodynamic losses on a lightweight projectile.
