Hadders Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Hi,I got a question about reloading the CV90 Dutch version. All of my APFSDS-T are out. When I want to reload I turn turret 6 and hit the vehicle reload button. But it wont reload.Why does nothing happen? Did I forgot something?Gr Hadders 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted October 13, 2014 Members Share Posted October 13, 2014 I don't think that the turret must go to the six o'clock position, rather nine o'clock (for the left feed, which usually contains the AP rounds; three o'clock for the right feed for multipurpose ammo).I may be wrong about this, working from memory here. The safest method is to jump into the observer's view and then give the reload command. The computer-controlled crew will then move the turret into the right position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadders Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Thx Snake for the reply.Indeed it has to turn the turret at 3 o'clock but for both ammo types.The only disadvantaged is that it takes a long time. About 15 minutes. Gr Hadders 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Yes if you used all the ammo then it does take a while as you are pretty much stripping the gun and manually pulling it through the feed system.There should be (from memory) an end of belt warning, which if you reload then its a lot faster.But if the situation means you must fire it all, then you can at the "cost" of the prolonged reload time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadders Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Hi Gibson, I just tried it with 3 rounds left. There was no alarm and the reloading time still is about 15 minutes Gr Hadders 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Hmm,Actually I think I may have remembered incorrectly.I think the CV-90/30 is belt fed (and the above applies) but the 35 and 40 may not be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grenny Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 EOB-warning is at 21 rounds. Shoot over that and it takes long to reload.Don't know if SB models this yet, but for most belt-feed guns it would be quicker to shoot to 0 rounds then doing to unload-load that is required when past the EOB. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadders Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 I did just tested it.See no difference with reloading time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted October 14, 2014 Members Share Posted October 14, 2014 Well, one of the differences between the Danish and the Dutch CV90/35 is that the Dutch model doesn't have an end of belt signal. The standard procedure seems to be to always shoot until the belt is empty before initiating a reload. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
