    I thought the 70m record last year would stand for eternity. Did these guys have extra propellant laying around on the floor or something?

      The ammo carousel is there below the floor below the turret I guess these guys had more rounds to spare.

        If War Thunder taught me anything, it is to never bring more ammo into battle than you need, to reduce the chance of a cookout. I guess mobniks were never told.

          Is there a safe number of rounds to have cook off in the fighting compartment? I’d have thought the outcome of one or fifty would be the same.

            Yes, but 50 rounds are more likely to be hit than just 1. And if you put them in a spot that’s going to be shot at a lot, say the turret, you’re less likely to walk away from a penetrating hit.

              50 are also more likely to have one among them with some manufacturing defect or one that is affected by any other problem you could run into.
