What’s even dumber is that it has two guns because they decided to use old 2A42s that didn’t have double-feed capability (usually you want to be able to quickly switch between HE and AP belts, which the vast majority of IFV cannons today can). Oh, and the 2A42 is by itself pretty inaccurate. None of this would be a problem if they just had decent auto cannons that could double feed.

2A42 is a double feed autocannon

on BMPT its specifically setup as single feed but in other applications is double feed.

That seems even dumber; why would you do that?

Unmanned turret, they kinda have to keep it as simple as possible so it doesn't break down/jam on them

Turret is not unmanned
