Gibsonm Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Guys slightly OT: I've asked the Canadians to try the ANZAC template (it is the same for the manoeuvre units and the key appointments you construct individually anyway).But no responses as yet. Similarly if a UK user confirms its basically the same for UK units (again it shouldn't be too far off the mark) we can rename "ANZAC" to "Commonwealth" and then upload it or equally incorporate it into the future 2.6x patch. But until some one from these two countries actually TRIES IT and is happy I can't vouch for it. Will now cross post to the LAVIII and CR2 threads and see if I get a response from there. Can a Brit (perhaps IH) have a look at this an confirm it corresponds to current UK call sign structure (or at least within whatever security limitations you have) and let me know?

Members Ssnake Posted December 20, 2011 Members Share Posted December 20, 2011 In Mp session (Human TC, human gunner), when TC slews the turret, the pilot stops the tank. feature or bug?It certainly isn't a feature, but maybe you are pressing the hotkey to designate a new waypoint without noticing it? And since that waypoint is real close, the driver then stops? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanker6742@hotmail.com Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Just a question about the ammo for challenger why is it so weak in comparison to every other tank in the game and it says its rounds max range is only 3500 meters when the chally 1 has the longest kill in combat to be recorded at over 5k. I have played againest leo 2 E and Abrams and have a hard time destroying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I press "up arrow" to slew the turret, and when the gunner says "Identified", the tank stops until the TC fires the gun or he press "down arrow" to let the gunner fires itself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted December 20, 2011 Members Share Posted December 20, 2011 Just a question about the ammo for challenger why is it so weak in comparison to every other tank in the game Because that represents our best guess. We were ... surprised, and believe me, we checked and double-checked, but I stand by this estimate. As the real performance is classified, it is of course impossible for me to prove that I'm right ... or wrong. and it says its rounds max range is only 3500 meters when the chally 1 has the longest kill in combat to be recorded at over 5k. Well, that case involved firing a HESH round and a fair bit of luck. Stefan Kotsch demonstrated on TankNet that the chance for a hit at that range was no more than 40% even with perfect knowledge of range and exterior ballistic variables (like crosswind) simply because of the shot dispersion of HESH rounds. These ranges simply reflect the maximum range at which computer-controlled crews may fire the gun with this ammunition. Human players may of course exceed the limits of reasonable engagement ranges if it pleases them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best way to check that is to export the control list, then temporarily load the defaults and see if it does the same behavior. If it doesn't, then the customized controls have been double mapped to the same key somewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart666 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 The Challenger1 long range kill was, believe it or not, a Fin round at the range of 5100metres. Its only been assumed it was a HESH engagement because the ellipse displaced into the HESH scale. But thats only because it was always on the gunners sight, not because it was used in the engagement.The gunner himself was talking about it on ARRSE.http://www.arrse.co.uk/rac/155024-silly-questions-about-famous-long-range-cr1-shot.htmlNot sure what exact round was used, but I think they had that newly introduced DU round (L26?) up the spout when they went into Iraq, so it may have been that. Interesting to note the gunner was more proud of his moving HESH engagement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the vehicle stop, then turn and start moving in that direction? (I have a theory which is hopefully proven false.) :shocked: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
