Autoloading isn't autoscanning autoaiming and autofiring. You still need a gunner.

The autoloader allows Russian tanks to have a crew of three rather the standard four for Western MBT, Main Battle Tanks.
Running a three-man team with just two means something can't be done simultaneously.
hence, no scanning for adversaries.
Helps the brave Ukrainians to destroy Russian tanks with NLAWs and other anti-tank weapons.

More on the theme of effects of corruption; speculation Russian tanks are running two man crews as the third guys salary is being robbed by officers. Hence columns of tanks driving around with turrets stationary like a parade and not sweeping for danger, sitting ducks for attacks from the side.
