Panzer_Leader Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Question: Is the FCS of the M1A1 SA more like that of the A2 (minus CITV), with 50x zoom, dual axis stabilisation of GPS etc., or more like an upgraded A1 (i.e. second generation FLIR)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the FLIR is the same with the moving reticle. You have stab in both mirrors on the SAHA. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assassin 7 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 @Daskal, AFAIK it is also max 50x. At least for the thermal sight. BTW as far as I understand from gunner control panel screenshot, M1A2SEP FCS allows to fire up to 5,000m compared to max ~4,000m on earlier variants, right? yes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assassin 7 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Yup, the new sight is stabilized in both horizontal and vertical, so no more floating reticle.Yes you shouldn't have a floating reticle at all. It doesn't matter to dump lead or not. The only thing is that if the tank picks up a gun/sight error reading more than .25 mils in elevation or azimuth the FCS will then not allow the tank to fire. The traverse rate of the SEP in azimuth is 700 mils/sec.. The gun will keep up with the sight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assassin 7 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 The M1A1 FCS is completely different from the M1A2's FCS. The M1A2's FCS lead is calculated every .3 seconds 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibsonm Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) So, enlisting in a VU doesn't count... No, not for that sort of stuff (at least here). Just like I’m not allowed to post photos of inside the turret. If someone else is happy to provide than that's great.

Gibsonm Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Late beta of “particle effects“ modelling: and Limitations: - Maximum of one vehicle per scenario (not per side). - 4TB graphics card required - This is the actual FPS achieved. In a few minutes of real time, the round will hit its target. Work continues to make the model suitable for real world requirements. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibsonm Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Do the spare road wheels on the turret bounce? Yes but only if the force is appropriate. There is a sliding scale: - Empty soft drink cans - Packs strapped to the back - Road wheels, track link and MG ammunition bins But you need the “Sensaround” add on pack and of course a “Sensaround compliant” desk / chair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
