According to historical records, the 72-K 25mm anti-aircraft gun uses a 7-round magazine for ammunition supply. The theoretical firing rate is as high as 240 rounds per minute. Its magazine feeding mechanism (one magazine holds 7 rounds) and high rate of fire feature enable it to maintain intense firepower in actual combat. This is in line with the continuous shooting characteristic of “firing while reloading”, rather than the intermittent “reload after firing”. If we look at another game by Gaijin, we can see that the Soviet WWII anti-aircraft guns were basically all based on the idea of “firing while reloading”. In the game, the 7-round magazine of the Soviet 72-K and the historical firing rate of up to 240 rounds per minute, their design intention was to maintain uninterrupted firepower through “small intervals of continuous reloading”. The current “reload after firing” mechanism completely eliminates this advantage, making its tactical value distorted. Changing to “firing while reloading” is the correct restoration of its historical positioning of “continuous suppression rather than burst”.

100%, such a feature should also be added to the 40mm bofors and 37mm Flak when either are added in the future too.
