    Fun fact, the APFS-DS is actually used IRL to shoot down missiles while the HE is used for aircraft and drones. That's how precise the darts are. In game, from the beginning, Gijin decided to make its darts shoot everywhere but where you aim and like the Arietes' armor, they refuse to fix it

    The Otomatic is in a much better place than it was a year ago. I got the radar arc fixed, another guy got the IRST fixed, and another guy got the tracer removed. There is currently a closed bug report in the system for removing the APFSDS cap (The name "OTOMATIC APFSDS limit should be removed" because TH-cam isn't fond of external links). TrickZZter, being the good old sub human garbage he is, closed it because he intentionally targets Italian vehicles (I have had multiple bug reports get closed for no reason by him on Italian vehicles and after resubmitting got acknowledged and pushed by other mods no problem).

      Idk. I completed Russian and German tech trees. Currently grinding US top tier. And the best top-tier tank for me? Definitely M1A2 and M1A1 AIM. BVM is cool, but it gets outperformed by the Abrams easily. Leo suffers due to low ammo count in the turret and horrible thermal. The T80/72s are not that hard to kill. If you possess at least 2 brain cells, you can do it. They love to go boom. Sadly, the teams you get are absolutely disabled and winning is a hard task.

    Good video on the OTOMATIC, I recently went to see the second prototype based on the leopard 1 platform at the OTO Melara museum. Believe it or not the OTO was even worse last year but thankfully the Italian research community managed to finally get the bug reports passed after a lot of delay. If it did get more APFSDS then I think it would be more useful that it is now, if not it needs a BR decrease. A lot of new AA’s have been added since it was introduced and it’s clear that missile AA just do the AA role better.

    I don't know if you already know this but when an aircraft is locked by a radar and is flying low to the ground, it'll confuse the radar and make it think the object is a lot lower than it really is. Think of it as the radio waves reflected off the aircraft, off of the ground, and back to the radar dish. That why at 1:15 the green box dips. Is use this a lot in Air Sim to dodge r27s.

    3:10 the APFSDS is limited on the Otomatic because it has a separate ammo rack for it, the APFSDS won't feed properly if placed in the normal HE ammo rack. It's like the Gepard's 80 rounds of self defence APDS, it's an emergency tool if this thing were to ever run into an enemy tank more or less.

    day 55 : you should try the jagdtiger sometime. it's extremly slow, doesn't have a turret, gets uptiers all the time, and most importantly, you'll have to play with german teams. the very definition of suffering.

    The worst part about the OTO is the fact that the 12 round APFSDS limit is historical, it has 9 rounds unloaded and 3 in the feeding system.
    So Gaijin will never remove that limit even for balancing reasons because there is proof it had a limit.

      @@someone-cc7gl "It uses a remotely-operated turret and armed with the same 76 mm on the Otomatic. The gun is completed with an automatic revolver-type ammunition loading system. It can use all standard 76 mm ammunition, guided DART ammunition, C-Ram and top-attack ammunition and fully compatible with all in service 76mm rounds. Rate of fire is 80-100 rounds per minute (depending on the elevation angle). Ammunition revolver contains 12 indexed rounds and can shift from one type of ammunition to another. Twenty four additional rounds are stored in the automatic magazine located in the hull. Secondary armament could be a coaxial 7.62 mm or 12.7 mm machine gun. The turret can withstands hits from 7.62x39 mm armor-piercing rounds and artillery shell splinters. The C-RAM capability will be achieved by means of a special ammunition at present under development, designed by OTO Melara thanks to the significant experience matured in the last decade on special smart ammunition and fuses."

    • @antbord_5640
      @antbord_5640 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Actually i find that the drones are the only things that i can relayably kill in the thing, with the normal radar lock (not the IRST) you can lock and shoot at them while outside their range (up to 10km) they are slow and tipically do not manouver, the only problem is that EVERYTHING that manouvers is a hard counter to the otomatic.

    • @antbord_5640
      @antbord_5640 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I feel your sanity loss on SPAA woes, you are not alone.
    Playing the PGZ-04A, failing to lock Helicopters sub 2.5km in the open air with its MANPADS is pure suffering. Radar isn't bad, but those MANPADS are absolute suffering when they fail to lock on a stationary target for absolutely no reason. The quad cannons are very nice, but the ~2km self destruct on the HE has been a slight problem occasionally.

    In Armored Warfare(world of tanks but modern vehicles), the OTOMATIC is a tank destroyer with a 12-round autoloader which can deal 4320 average damage per clip, and can carry 120 rounds of APFSDS. At least it's good in one game.
