Summary0003066: BTR KPVT elevation when reloading
DescriptionI noticed that for several armored vehicles (i.e. BMP) the barrel will elevate when reloading as IRL, but that this does not occur for the BTR. While the BTR's KPVT can technically be reloaded while horizontal, it's more difficult and in practice BTR crews raise the KPVT to its highest elevation (60°) to reload it, as the KPVT is nothing more than a big belt-fed machine gun and doing so makes reloading it a lot easier.

We did some searching, and it's more or less impossible to load the gun in horizontal position.

Yep, when horizontal the KPVT is really too close to the top of the turret to lift the feed cover. The reference video has some pretty good interior reloading footage in a BTR if you haven't seen it.
