Tonight i'm playing 10 days rental of Somua SM using 4skilled amx50b.
Got to the next skill & ALL crew members can select loader skills, ie; Safe Stowage. Even though I already have this skill trained- Gotta be a bug, right?

Looking at the crew placement in the module viewer, it doesn't make much sense for the Radio Operator to be an assisting Loader...since he's down at the front with the Driver...but who knows? Maybe he picked some shells up from the floor ammo rack. https://armor.wotinspector.com/?targetVehicleId=62273,34370,28483,18756&mode=xray.modules&platform=pc

 

But yeah, most autoloader tanks, unless I'm mistaken, tend to have multiple crew members with Loader qualifications. The AMX heavy autoloader branch is the exact same.

 

B-C 25t's Commander is also a Radio Op and Loader, the Gunner is also a Loader, and the Driver is just the driver...same deal on the tier 9 B-C 25t AP, and the Lorraine 40t...and the Bourrasque...and all the French LTs from tier 6 up.

Yes because the driver should be the odd man out who doesn't double as a loader.

 

It's common with French autoloaders, the gun uses a drum of shells and the whole drum gets swapped out, which needs more than one person. In reality those tanks (well, the real ones) were expected to withdraw from the battle to reload as it had to be done from outside the tank but that's hardly practical for the game.

should give decent insight into drumloaders of the frenchies, good luck loading that from inside the tank. so yes most/all crew could be plain loader after they fell back from the battlefield loading the entire drum again
