Tacbat Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Yeah, but I figured since my post was directly after a video from Syria and didn't reference any other videos...That's OK, everyone else knew what you meant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpow66m Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Yeah, but I figured since my post was directly after a video from Syria and didn't reference any other videos...Sorry, guess I should include a quote next time. Sometimes I forget how easily the subtleties of language can be lost online. So...anyone care to wager a guess as to how often the tanks in Syria are boresighted? i didnt see the syrian video u mentioned,i thought you were talking about the M1....my bad.:c: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 So...anyone care to wager a guess as to how often the tanks in Syria are boresighted? I'd suspect very low on the priority list. "Building 50m coax, GO ON" or "SHELL Building, ON - FIRE!" Doesn't really need the same fine zeroing as engaging moving vehicles at 2,500m and beyond. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying Penguin Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I'm not going to complain about how SB handles vehicle suspensions after seeing how DCS does it:MDsn4KABxMc DCS, great aircraft simulator, lousy tank simulator. It was my disappointment with DCS: Combined Arms that made me look at SB...Although rumour has it, improvements are incoming. As they say, watch this space.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkLabor Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Although rumour has it, improvements are incoming. As they say, watch this space..They should move their durt particules faces on the sides of the tracks rather than under.They should also link the turret to the chassis instead of putting the turret over the central mass of the chassis...They should stop squashing the models every time the pitch is changed... ...That should solve that major visual atrocity. :-? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marko Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 DCS, great aircraft simulator, lousy tank simulator. It was my disappointment with DCS: Combined Arms that made me look at SB...Although rumour has it, improvements are incoming. As they say, watch this space..The sad thing is esim approached DCS. I assume it was some sort of collaboration project.Not sure of the details Ssnake mentioned it once in a post.DCS were not interested I believe.I really cant see how CA could ever match SB unless they scrap it and buy Esim. LoLAll joking aside, its taken over ten years of constant development to get SB were it is at now.And as Ssnake has stated had it just relied on revenue from PE sales it would not have been a viable business.Not sure how big DCS sales of CA have been. they would need to be substantial though to make it viable 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacom Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Independently of the armour model, DCS first needs to solve the problem with the maps. Their height map has not enough resolution. Its really difficult to position yourself in a hull down position. And better if we not talk about the IA shooting through trees that, for the IA, doesn't exist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tacbat Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 It looks like Homer scribbled some graffiti on the side of one of the tanks. I didn't think he was that old. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibsonm Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Well the Regt can always be re-roled.Most have been through the Tank -> Recce -> Tank cycle at various stages.Far better to remain on the ORBAT with different platforms, than go off the ORBAT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
