Yes, these are hydraulic controls and are actually from a Marder, not a Leopard. We have a set in our 'Control Handle Museum' 😊 

 

The same ebay seller has a set of control handles from a Leopard 1A5

These are much easier to convert to a USB device for Steel Beasts as they use standard potentiometers and switches. We've converted a few of these ourselves.

Quite a late reply, but I still have a gunner control handle from a 1A5, I'm quite interested if you still have some info about that conversion
From what I understand we can "just" re wire the former pot and switches to an USB control card?

thanks for any support 

I was 2/2/C and survived the mission 1, I don't see my tank...

but present, mission tested and OK

M2A2 plz

Thanks a lot for the game, thanks to my fellow teammate who almost succeed to kept me alive

thanks man

Yep same as M1, kids toy

B2 platoon please, but not commanding position, I'm f####g noob with the CV90-40B

I edited the picture

Ssnake, the .50 is not there but right and below the Maine gun on the mantlet and the size doesn't fit a standard .50

Hello!
 

I would like to know what's the purpose of that box added on top of the gun of the Leclerc and if you have sources about it.

For me it's part of the MRS but for some friend, it's a 7.62 coax.

The "box" seems to be too heavily protected and has no "quick" opening hatch's to reload that presumably 7.62 

As always, for every info you find on internet, there is an another one saying the exact opposite...

DF-90 is

I don't think the DF90 is made for a high intensity battlefield with significant anti-armor threat (eventual missiles aside). Its armor protection - for a wheeled vehicle - is reasonable but not extraordinary which implies that you can't bring yourself into vulnerable positions for more than the briefest moments. Within that context the DF90 does not need to be optimized for duel situations.

Exactly, low intensity conflict / peace keeping... (wtf) primary objectives are: Technical, APC, IFV, bunker, ,...

Be aware that everything stronger than a .50 can go in...

Look like they can try to shoot some older tanks till the T-55 (non up-armored), but with a vehicle that high, I won't try...

About the ATT in the DF-30, I never saw it working that well like in the first vidéo, indeed it's "idealized"

Usually we send a Mix (1 DF-30 & 1 DF-90) in Sp of a Inf Coy

instaled, tested, working perfectly

Thanks Ssnake

A22 please

Anyone checked if the scenario runs yet? we need to verify IOT to see if this method works in 4.157!

Tested and no issue, just waited 40min after Eni before closing game without seeing one of theme

A Leopard for me plz

I can help in the future if you have more needs

Yes, similar

If the purpose of the shoot is just testing the accuracy of the gun or/and the ammunition, they probably not use the "Stabilisation" 

In Belgian Army with the old Leo1a5 we turned off the Stab during those shoots to avoid accuracy error with the stab drift

Modern systems are more stable but olds procedures are still in use

Okay, you could open it and then choose to replace the map with the Hannover-Weserbergland map that is part of the legacy map installer.

Thanks for the info, I ll try after work

++

I tried to launch the benchmark but it say "map package not found"

If someone want a gunner I would be happy to help
