Grenny Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Just some pictures to show how well the Marder is modelled in steelbeats. Unfortunately, they also show, that 10+ year of no maintenance are not very good for a vehicle turret(in this case an old turret simulator) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grenny Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 PS: The 1st image here show's something that is missing in the Steelbeasts model of the Marder turret. Can anyone guess what it's for?? (Duke, you shut up please ;-) ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalAB Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Regarding the question ( can't believe no one chimed in yet ) it's to let the gunner know the relationship of the gun to the hull, specifically the hull front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggy Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 (edited) We had a similar system for night operation in AMX 30, pre-planned points for blind firing. There was an other on the gun assembly for elevation. If eny showed himself on say crossroad 3, turn turret to planned angular, elevate the gun to match the range, and fire!

Spot on!! ? Together with the elevation scale you can point out targets to the gunner at night. Also helps wiht fire-control during the day. Its not so much an issue for nightfighting wiht the 1A3(since it has a TIS), but its good to have a backup. If the TIS fails, the TC still has his "Lucy" to see in the dark ....

dejawolf Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 well sure, but how does it work? is it somehow attached to the turret ring? or is it attached to the hull? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its attached to the turret ring, and you have a reference marker that is attached to the hull's 12 o'clock position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
