1) What I find disturbing is the randomness of some shots. Even though a penetration has occurred, absolutely nothing happens (even when aiming for the ammo rack). Then another penetration blows up the tank. Currently the only thing you can do is aim for the ammo rack and pray or a shot trap between hull and turret.
Yup, it's retarded, even(especially?) in Sim Battles, aggressive flanking maneuvers are worthless because, you often end up putting 3-4 shots into the enemy without any effect, just so they can turn and 1-shot you(completely random).
I think I need to rush my KV-2.
2) Some repair times are insane. Even with somewhat leveled crews there are situations where I have to wait 2+ min for the vehicle to be repaired, which simply isn´t worth the wait.
Agreed, it hurts especially in arcade when you have plenty of tanks and the matches are short. There should be a way to maybe drive back to base and make quick reparis, or select what you want repaired etc.
3) That artillery ability can be spammed way too easily.
That is just dumb, and in SB it can be used as a form of "wallhack" to see over hills, crests etc. Should be removed, no question.

4) Also there is no penalty when loading the wrong ammunition. Just wait until the wrong shell is loaded and chose the correct one. No need to reload it again. It´s instantly switched.
Yes there is a penalty, when you change the type of ammo, the shell you have in the chamber doesn't change
For example: if you load HE and then switch to AP, the nex shot you fire will be HE, and AP will be loaded next
BUT what i find stupid is that IIRC you can't change the ammo without firing, if have wrong ammo loaded you have to select a different type, fire and only then it will switch. It could be a big deal in tanks with limited ammo.
