If it is historically accurate I am fine with it.

there is nothing historically accurate in this game
anyway my point is they say is reloads on tanks is based on balance
the 4 sec seems to break the game when having an advantage i mean imagine tiger 2 shooting every 5 sec

Because different tanks use different autoloaders. The oscolating (sorry if misspelled) turrets allow for a very efficient auto-loader, since the barrel does not have to move to allign with the loading system...

Autoloaders varry between nations. Something like an AMX-13 just has to rotate and ram a quite light shell. A T-64 on the other hand needs to level the gun, rotate a carousel, lift a 2 piece shell in a V shape, straighten out, unlock the bracket when straightened, ram the shell, quickly toss the spet casing cap into the empty tray top, lower, the return the gun to the level it was at before loading.

Be happy some are actually a bit incorrect. The Japanese Type 90 autoloader can load a 120mm in a minimum of 2 seconds. Anyway, the French really only have a reload advantage. Also keep in mind it takes far longer to restock shells and if you empty an autoloader, you are stuck there unable to fire until a shell is placed in it (which will still need to actually be loaded after).

In Wargame Red Dragon French tanks do have an insane ROF.
Supposedly their autoloaders are godtier.

Yes but there is another thing not being considered:
They have less armor the majority of the time.
They usually don’t have the best penetration.
No APHE.
Usally what they make up in some advantages they give up in others.

autoloaders dont have faster reload times, the idea with an autoloader is that you need one less crewmember,not that it gives a faster reload.
french reload times are OP, meanwhile other get their RoF nerfed, cause balance, theres your "historical accuracy" kamikazi21358

It entirely depends on the tank though if it is faster or not:

The M1 has it’s massive turret space and smart ammunition storage, the tank contains perfect conditions for the loader to load shells as fast as possible.

The Russian MBT series, (T-64s, T-72s, T-80s), follows the same tens since WW2: tanks with extreme sloped armor and squat profiles that ends up giving extra crew space - almost no room to operate. Which includes less room for the loader: which means less reload time (T-55 100mm reload = about 10 seconds, Leopard 1 = about 7; T-62 115mm = about 15 seconds, M60 = about 8), Soviet tanks cramp their crews decreasing performance. So they started giving them autoloaders: now instead of a 115mm gun on the T-62 reloading taking a quarter of a minute (FYI the T-62’s reload is over performing currently), while the 125mm guns on the successor tanks fire 7.5-7.1 seconds, if their ready ammo racks are filled.

So it kind of depends on the gun and the vehicle - use a large gun with 2 piece ammunition and limited crew space, use an auto loader. Willing to give your tank a turret the size of f***ing Rhode Island and the ammo storage space to do so, use the human.

You do know that the size of the turret has to do more with the reload time than the autoloader, right?
