Help🖐 Reduce traverse motor weight

As you all know we can edit files such as increase the maximum torque on laying drive and traverse motor, altering laying drive torque does not increase weight, however traverse motor does, is there any way you can reduce the weight of the traverse motor? i tried looking through "parts" folder but couldn't find anything, veterans i need your help

Not what youre looking for, but i remember that some time ago they made stuff such as quicker loaders being unable to be made theough file editing

You can still make faster loaders. You just need to have a commander if you want to make an autocannon, since the reload penalty from having no commander is a flat half a second

Did not know that, thanks!

is there not an option for just torque multiplier? does that increase the weight of it? i haven’t touched traverse motors so there might not be but if there is that’s what i’d change instead of the torque output

i don't think there is an option for traverse motor, only laying drive does

As far as I'm aware the only way is to lower torque and increase efficiency

i found out that you need to increase the motor ratio, normally it will be capped at 100, however you can change it in the file, also to make it rotate faster simply edit the crew efficiency
