jazjar Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 O.K, I never intended to do a super accurate test with 500 rounds, and two, LOL, there is no boresight panel in the ME. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Volcano Posted August 31, 2011 Moderators Share Posted August 31, 2011 I think that Boresight Panel 1 is available in SB Pro PE (in the Mission Editor, click New... NATO Target... Panel 1). Looks like a checkerboard. The inner squares are 50cm each, so the entire panel is 1.5 x 1.5mThis is for SB Pro only. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabot_ready Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 How is the "Boresight" position implemented in SB Pro? Is it used in conjunction with the panels? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted September 1, 2011 Members Share Posted September 1, 2011 There is no boresighting procedure in SB. The guns and sights are always zeroed. At least for now, and I'm not sure if we ever really want to go down into that rabbithole. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazjar Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 Does the Leo 2 have the same boresighting procedure as the M1? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tacbat Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I don't know what if wrong there, but sure as hell we didn't send you a special SB Pro version that behaves differently than any other.It was the special 2.538BOC edition.I can never get a round into the M1's gunsight main circle at 1500 meters.Alright, enough of this BS. Post a vid on Youtube already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazjar Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 One quick question, what is the file directory in Windows 7 for the files that provide data for dispersion? ( I am planning a complete and total reinstall of SB ) The manual seems only to give directions to the XP file structures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Volcano Posted September 1, 2011 Moderators Share Posted September 1, 2011 There is no such a file. I see other members of the community have been helping you online. Has your ability to hit targets gotten better now? It would be nice to post here if some of your problems were due to user error, considering you made such a commotion about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazjar Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 O.K, yes, I spent some time with dta delta on multiplayer with a challenger 2 flank target shooting from an M1A1 with M829A2 at 1500 meters. I fired six rounds at the enemy tank and something amazing happened. All six of them impacted inside the GPS mil circle. I then took some shots in the single player mode and we got the funny feeling that single player dispersion was actually worse than multiplayer dispersion. Yes, you read correctly. I say this with confidence, I don't know why this is, but I have a feeling I'm correct, and I have no clue why. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogwa Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 So, you say with confidence that you have a feeling based on an apparent sample size of about a dozen rounds? Could you give us the confidence level? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazjar Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 No, I was simply noticing that the rounds in MP were consistently hitting the target within the innrer mil circle (none slipped outside, or even came close), while the rounds in SP were constantly slipping outside the circle. That is what I'm saying 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalAB Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Have you set up a profile yet? Create a profile for yourself and go to the gun range and hone your gunnery. The user score affects gun accuracy in SP. Lt. Default is 60% I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunt3r Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Just use the CV9035, the KETM round basically guarantees an outlandish accuracy score. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingtiger Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 just did a test with M1A1(HA) firing at a dead ASLAV-PC in SP mode, firing 31 shots and 2 rounds missed (over and under). 29 rounds hit within the circle at 1500meter. Using standard SABOT ammo. Don't see a problem? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazjar Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 O.K, well there's one set of results that pretty much describe my dispersion 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodo Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 A lot of the myths or beliefs that first round misses are common is from the old WWII days of Smooth bore accuracy. Technology has come ALONG way to overcome that problem. Not to say a smooth bore is as accurate as a rifled barrel. I have always had the saying. "If you put enough powder behind it, it will go where you want it." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"If you put enough powder behind it, it will go where you want it."All the same, there are plenty of myths surrounding general tank gun accuracy, smooth bore or otherwise, technology not withstanding. That's partly the reason for this thread. Given the vast number of variables that goes into launching a round using contained explosive force up to 3200 meters to actually hit anything, a 36" Circle of Probable Error at 1500 meters looks pretty damn good to me. Ask anyone who's done this for a living and they'll tell you that what passes for a kill versus plywood on the range just doesn't translate when the targets can shoot back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Volcano Posted September 11, 2011 Moderators Share Posted September 11, 2011 ...Ask anyone who's done this for a living and they'll tell you that what passes for a kill versus plywood on the range just doesn't translate when the targets can shoot back.Exactly. As those who have been there and got the T-shirt know, on the range you just have to hit the barn sized silhouette anywhere -- target. In reality the hit might translate to hitting track, roadwheels, or something inconsequential. Against an actual target shooting back in SB, a user always wants to hit a sweet spot and get that kill: they want to hit that turret ring or ammo storage. But as any real gunner knows, in real life you simply aim center mass and hope for a hit, continue to reengage the target until it stops moving or changes shape. If you are unfortunate enough to find yourself within BSGT range to the enemy tank, then you might aim for something specific sure, and this is possible in SB.The impression of laser beam type accuracy from (apparently) watching the History Channel is just not the case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
