Yes, that is the intention.
The various T-34 FT variants had the fuel and pressure tank in the bow gunner's position and carried a full MA ammo load. To be honest when Chas pointed out that, I was quite surprised at that but not only found strong indications in web searches but I already had that information in a T-34 book I bought years ago "T-34 Mythical Weapon" by Robert Michulec and Miroslaw Zientarzewshi. I clearly had not taken that information in fully.
As to who fired the FT? Possibly the driver but more likely the loader. Without the BMG gunner's seat, the loader could crouch down and fire it. There was often a 5th crew member but from what information was available he/she was responsible for filling/maintaining the fuel and pressure tanks and usually not taken into battle.
As a result the T-34 FT variants have their CS# reduced by 1 and some their RoF by 1, m41 [0]-> No IF, m43 [1] -> [0]. The T-34/85 does have it's CS# reduced but not it's RoF. RoF reflects not just how fast a MA can be loaded, but how fast targets and fall of shot can be spotted. Having a commander not overburdened by gunnery duties in my opinion is more important than whether the loader has to squat for 5-15 seconds to aim the FT within a 120-150 second turn. Anyway with so much ammo literally stored under the turret crew's feet, he/she should be well used to squatting and other turret gymnastics.
The various KV-8 variants carried either 92 (KV-8) or 114 (KV-8S) 45mm rounds, just from memory. That's way, way above the 36 round breakpoint between having a circled B# and not. So at that number of rounds, whatever about APCR, AP and HE should be unlimited in ASL terms.
The KV-8's had tanks were fitted in the turret, so making the turret crowded. So that suggested reducing the RoF from [2] (possibly) or [1] (likely) to [0], but the small size of the rounds meant I recommended not going as far as No IF.
While design decisions are always going to be compromises within the limits that established by what is done for other vehicles and are not going to be perfect, I believe the new values are a better reflection of the historical vehicles within the ASL universe. Remember that the original Soviet vehicles were parametrised some 40 years ago and designers did not have access to more detailed and accurate information released post cold war.
