Gun Rammer (Equipment)
In one sentence:
Equipment that cuts loading time by 10% — the default first pick for most guns.
What it means
The gun rammer reduces your reload time by 10%, which translates directly into ~11% more DPM. Because sustained damage is the most universally valuable stat in the game, a rammer is the default choice in one equipment slot for nearly every tank that can mount one — autoloader and dual-gun vehicles being the notable exceptions that cannot.
How it's calculated
New reload = base reload × 0.90 (≈ +11% DPM)
Example
A Tiger I at 2,153 base DPM climbs to roughly 2,390 DPM with a rammer — a free extra half-shot every minute of sustained fire.
Why it matters
DPM wins drawn-out fights, and no other single slot buys as much raw damage output.
Common pitfall
⚠ Autoloaders can't mount rammers — their intra-clip rate is fixed, so look to vents, vertical stabilizer or turbo instead.
