You can thank me later.

Though I figured that the autoloader carousel would be entirely contained within the turret basket, so if the T-72 can take the T-80 turret, surely it can take the T-64/80 autoloader? Unless, of course, the mating is of a T-72 basket within the turret ring to the T-80's actual turret.
Whereas on the T-64-series autoloader's description, he explicitly states that the T-90 has received a 'similar advancement in autoloader logic', but nothing about the T-90 utilising the same pattern of autoloaders. Reference is made to the T-90 on the T-72's autoloader page in more tacit terms that seem to suggest that they share a similar basic design; there's nothing explicit here, and I may well be wrong - that is, regardless, what you'll get if you read between the lines.
I vaguely remember people saying something about how the T-90 is a T-72 mated with a T-80's turret - is this what you're referring to? Because that's a wild oversimplification, and effectively untrue.
