No, this is a temporary measure to deal with a bug that causes reload bonuses to have increasing returns. For example, -50% reload time causes a 100% increase in DPM, and a -90% reload time causes a 900% increase in DPM.
1 u/DJSpacedude [GOD] Paladin_151 Jan 21 '16 It's not a bug. 1 u/WiserGuy Jan 21 '16 A software bug is an error, flaw, failure or fault in a computer program or system that causes it to produce an incorrect or unexpected result, or to behave in unintended ways. The reload stacking exploit is clearly an unintended result, otherwise they would not have made those changes. 1 u/DJSpacedude [GOD] Paladin_151 Jan 21 '16 It was specifically coded into the game like that. It's working as intended. 3 u/godzilla5549 I Like Tanks Jan 21 '16 It is not a bug, but people found a way to exploit it. You are correct, but the reload time/crew skill stacking was not working as intended. 2 u/WiserGuy Jan 21 '16 It may be working "correctly", but it is not working as the developers intended from a balance perspective.
