That's a good point, switching a round without firing it off should be an option, but it'll require another key to be binded just for that function.
Oftentimes, however, most RO maps don't give you that much liberty to sit back and switch tank shells (cough, cough, ARAD), so more than likely, you'll have no time to be switching tank rounds without making use of the loaded shell.

Well, in that scenario, wouldn't it make sense to shoot off your loaded round at the Tiger, and let it reload into HE after firing it off, therefore not wasting the loaded round by switching it? You fire off two rounds for the price of one that way, and you'll do more damage.
Fire off the AP round, hope to get a few of those bastards coming towards you, and queue up an HE round to be loaded next.
Problem solved!

Actually the change was good on 2 parts. 1) The users requested it. 2) Many of these tanks you actually could not remove the shell from the gun once it had been loaded, so it has added to the realism.
Exactly!
Once you shoot your load, you can easily choose your next type of round without any hinderence
Shoot your load, rinse and repeat SWEEET!!

excatly, this is even a standart today in german tanks. As soon you loaded a shell, you only fire it, or take it out for dispose.
But that could give away your position to the infantry that you want to treat on a nice HE shell.Tsoman said:
I've found it to be a big improvement, especially in the CA maps like Konigs where you need to switch a lot. Saves the double loading time, and it's usually much more convenient to fire the wrong kind of round at your target than it is to have to wait and fire nothing at all.

Indeed, and remember, that your enemy is probably not going to know, nor care, what type of shell your firing at him. Just the fact that you are firing should be enough to force them into cover while you reload.
As mentioned, even in modern tanks, it is simply not viable to unload a round once it's been rammed into the breech. The commander usually identifies a target and its type and tells the gunner which round to load next. Then the gunner simply fires off whatever round is sitting in the breech. Even if its a HEAT round against a tank, it might still do some damage.
