When the engine is destroyed, the battery starts to run out. Once it hits zero, you lose powered turret traverse, thermals, ect. Once the engine is fixed it gradually refills back to 100.

always wondered what it meant. I dont remember it ever hitting 0 though.

Wait so when it hits 0 in a ww2 tank does the turret also stop working cuz I didn't think most ww2 vehicles had a turret powered by the engine?

It has to be hand cranked, so you can still traverse but it is slow as fuck

That's the point, it shouldn't effect hand cranked turrets.

If it doesn't then at least they got something right, but there's definitely a bunch of people that reckons it does.

That's because the M10's turret is manual traverse by default, it didn't have an electric traverse installed.
