T58: Automation Limit

Since the very creation of tanks, engineers have been trying to automate the jobs of crew members. Communication, target detection, gun loading... Combat vehicles continuously received new devices. Few innovations were easy to implement, but autoloaders delivered more trouble than most. The first designs of autoloaders for large-caliber weapons were introduced in the early World War 2, but none of the nations managed to achieve impressive results. American, German, Japanese, and Soviet ideas failed to pass trials at shooting ranges, and most never even left the blueprint stage.
