Challenger 2 - Tank porn

this year I'll write Santa personally ;) to send over some elves to eSims help implement this friggin Challenger tank. LOL

Anyway - I've been thinking about making a Challenger mod to steelbeasts, which I think is more than possible.

Kingtiger has already made the Challenger skins for the 2A5 - all that is missing are the sounds now, but I think I might be able to make a Challenger 2 sound mod. If it looks + sounds like a Challenger 2 - I could go with that.

For those who (like me) were asking themselves 'what the hell is Coincidence Firing' (mentioned in the video at 04:40), This is what I found on the subject: (maybe someone with actual knowledge can explain?)

1. A proximity fuze including a combination of a radio circuit and an infrared circuit, said infrared circuit including an infrared radition sensing means for sensing infrared radiation, infrared detector means connected to said sensing means for converting infrared radiation into an electrical signal, an amplifier connected to said detector for amplifying said signal, a memory circuit connected to said amplifier for holding said signal for a predetermined time period, means applying said signal to a first grid of a thyratron tube, said radio circuit comprising a transmitter for transmitting an electromagnetic signal, a receiver for receiving said transmitted electromagnetic signal reflected from a target, amplifier means connected to said receiver for amplifying the received electromagnetic signal, memory circuit means connected to said amplifier means for holding said electromagnetic signal for a predetermined time interval, means connected to said memory circuit means for applying said electromagnetic signal to a second grid on said thyratron tube, priming means, said thyratron tube having an ouput circuit connected to said priming means whereby said priming means may be detonated when voltages are applied to said first and second grids simultaneously.

2. A combination proximity fuze comprising a radio circuit and an infrared circuit, said radio circuit operative to produce a first voltage impulse when a reflected electromagnetic wave is received from a target, said infrared circuit operative to produce a second voltage impulse when a heat source from a target is detected, a first memory circuit connected to said radio circuit for storing said first voltage impulse for a first predetermined time interval, a second memory circuit connected to said infrared circuit for storing said second voltage impulse for a second predetermined time interval, a coincidence firing circuit connected to said first memory circuit and to said second memory circuit whereby a primer may be ignited when said first and second voltage pulses are applied to said coincidence firing circuit simultaneously within said first and second predetermined time intervals.

3. A combination infrared and radio doppler fuze in the nose of a missile comprising a radio circuit including a transmitter and a receiver, said transmitter operative to transmit electromagnetic wave signals to a target, said receiver operative to receive and detect said transmitted electromagnetic wave signals which are reflected from the target, a radio amplifier connected to said receiver for amplfiying the signals by said receiver, a radio memory circuit connected to said amplifier to hold each of said receiver signals for a desired time period, an infrared circuit including a plurality of windows in the shell of said nose, an infrared radiation detector disposed to detect infrared radiation received through said windows, lenses disposed between said windows and said detector to concentrate the infrared radiation upon said detector, said detector operable to convert infrared radiation into electrical voltage signals, an infrared amplifier connected to said detector to amplify said electrical voltage signals, an infrared memory circuit connected to said infrared amplifier and adapted to hold an electrical voltage signal from said amplifier for a desired time period, a coincidence firing device having a first input circuit, a second input circuit, and an output circuit, said output circuit connected to a primer and operative to energize said primer when a signal is applied to each of said first and second input circuits simultaneously, means connecting said radio memory circuit to said first input circuit of said coincidence device whereby a signal may be applied thereto, means connecting said infrared memory circuit to said second input circuit of said coincidence device whereby a signal may be applied thereto such that said primer will be energized when an electromagnetic wave and infrared radiation are received concurrently from a target.

@rump. Your post made my head dizzy. A lot of "said" in there. This my sound silly but is this a joke i dont understand? :confused::confused::confused::confused:

No joke, I found this text on a website for patents. Made my head spin too...

Are you sure it doesn't just mean that the gun is inhibited from firing unless autolay has completed a correct sequence and the stabilisation has the gun tube and sight aligned within a small tolerance?

I'm not aware of anything else that the CR2 is equipped with, although it seems a fancy way of saying stabilised gun to me ;)

You're probably right...

Thanks Irish!

:P

I was about to ask you wheter you have some good videos / refernce materials (youtube is OK as well) from where I could grab out some Chally sounds?

The Super (or Turbo) Charger pretty much drowns everything out when its at anything above half speed, otherwise its Ya standard V12 lump

See if I can drum up a youtube...

Its a bit quite but should be good for ref
