Gun itself is balanced(within certain margin), but turret is not. Since gun barrel weight diminishes due wear with each round fired, gun balance should be checked periodically and adjusted by addition or removal of counterweights.

LAV-25, T-80 and T-90 are not fully playable currently and their crew positions can not be accessed by human player, but this does not applies to ASLAV-25, which is fully-playable and is used by some mission makers as LAV-25 substitute.

...Also a number of available priority and FASCAM missions is always limited by scenario designer

United States, if I'm not mistaken...

36-37 with i5-4440 @3.1GHz; VSync is on.

Judging by the color of unit icons, custom party was created or party dispositions were changed accidentally during adjustment of icon color for Blues.

Right now plow can be manually lowered only from driver`s position by pressing "Space" key; there is no such hotkey for GNR or TC. Only way to lower plow from gunner`s position is to switch to map view and plot a new route with "breach" tactics. Player on TC`s position, while in unbuttoned eye view, can set an end waypoint for lane to be plowed by left clicking on vehicle icon(map symbol with callsign) at bottom right of the screen and selecting "breach to" option from pop-up menu.

Hey, you forgot folding bikes for dismounts, added on special request from 1st TSG (airborne)

Max. range is 6 km for TOS-1A(3,5 km basic TOS-1) and TOS is primarily a direct/semi-direct fire chemical warfare system(but also capable for indirect fire); consider it as reincarnation of flamethrower tank capable to stay out of small arms and light AT weapons range.

First relatively high quality video of new "T-72B3 with improved protection", which deliveries started during late 2016...

АВТ.-РУЧН. switch defines how range is indexed- automatically by LRF, or manually by hand.

Normally per TOE, there were 110men in air assault company- 7 officers, 3 warrant officers, 16 NCOs, 84 privates. -Company HQ- 8 men, 1 BMD-1PK, -3x air assault platoons, each consisting of 3 7-man squads and a platoon leader. 3 BMD-1Ps per platoon. -Machine gun platoon -PLt leader and 2 8-man MG squads riding 2 BTRDs. 3 PKS/PKMS crews per squad. -Mortar platoon. Platoon HQ element(Plt leader, 2 BTRD drivers) and 4 4-man mortar crews. 2 BTRDs and 81mm mortars. Note that number of personnel exceeds official BMD capacity and 2 BTRDs of mortar platoon virtually have no place for mortar ammo. Speaking of A-stan, 56th Independent Air-Assault Brigade was created specially for this theater of operations and had its own TOE. All BMDs were replaced with BMP-2s and BTR-70s, 1 of battalions had a tank platoon, mortar platoons had 2B14 mortars and GAZ-66 trucks.

Current behavior is matching TM 9-2350-253-10:

No, LRF is solely for range measurement. In case of 9K120, modulated laser beam, which forms "control field" for GLATGM is projected from 1K13 night sight- guidance unit. And with 9K119 gunner`s day sight have separate laser for guidance of missiles.

On real T-72 MG mount`s ring traverses independently of TC cupola(hatch assy), this is not modeled in SB, and MG traversed to the front will badly restrict TC`s field of view.

1) BV2 unit of 1V528-1 calculates solution in 10msec. Any modern FCS requires to track target 1.5-2 seconds in order to obtain reliable averaged tracking rate and minimize human error, in case of 1A45- both AZ and EL tracking rates are accounted; additionally with 1A45, if target travel direction is inbound or outgoing, you may need to re-lase in few seconds, so FCS will additionally predict target`s speed based on range difference. 2) You can not compare accuracy of weapon system just by grabbing some values from some random sources, since you do not know: a) all variables and conditions which were involved b) methodology used to estimate said values

Depends of "Difficullty" setting mostly

Your best score obtained on "Tank range" is used as a global setting for all Blue AI gunners in local session, and please note- even 100% score does not mean that AI will always hit its target. Differences in performance between various vehicles are defined by their specs.

Well, may be from gamer`s point of view there is some value in such solution, but SB is not a game but a training tool and making separate voice entries for each vehicle is pointless.

Well, its known that gun manufacturer("Artillery Plant No.9") purchased 15 barrel blanks for 2A82- 10 in 2013 and 5 in 2015, plus there was a purchase of some tooling("Sandvik"-made) to support production of 2A82 and 2A89 guns, but there no known contract for 2A89 barrel blanks to this date. This is quite consistent with claim of russian MoD that total number of T-14s build is "about 20"... And, speaking of 2A82- this gun can be also used in manned turrets, so probably there are at least two versions of it are existing.

I`m Jartsev, not Kartsev 2A82 is designed for new line of ammunition, but with compatibility with legacy 125mm rounds in mind(see patent RU 2311603). According to open source data penetrators designed under R&D study "Vacuum" were approximately 900mm long, and possibly had muzzle velocity in 1700-1800m/sec range(or greater a bit). Problem is, that this study was reportedly cancelled, and new one was subsequently initiated- here any available data ends; this can be somehow connected to exposure of another new gun with unknown specs- 2A89.

...at 0 meters, which turns in to quite modest 320-370mm(depending of penetrator material) of penetration at 2 kilometers, if target is sloped to 60 degrees- quite similar to M829A2 or DM53. And those penetrators can only fit in to autoloaders of post-2004 tanks, e.g. T-90A or T-72B3... P.S. Hint- length of projectile assy is about 740mm

Per TM 9-2350-253-10 (with changes 9-11) and TM 9-2350-253-20-2 (with change 2) day optics of TTS have fixed 8x magnification and a unity sight, so ability to toggle day FOV was removed
