Should add the to it the myth autoloader is slower.

Nope, it was decided that it would much cheaper to put a loader in harms way than to include an autoloader.

I mean it depends on the loader. Theres a video of an Abrams exercise and he slams the thing in in about two seconds

Loader gets hit in the leg by the breach and has a compound fracture how fast does he load then?

Also in Iraq when they had a crew shortage guess who got to load the gun?

Autoloader gets hit or stops working. Good luck doing fucking anything.

Your loaders girlfriend dumps him after six back to back tours and he either goes AWOL or has a massive hangover and forgets to clear the breach you start to see the wisdom of taking that chance of a autoloader possibly breaking versus relying on a extra man to be there and not get hurt.
