I didnt even realise that the sentence was missing "ctrl". I was, and am obviously using ctrl left-click to assign the target and get the range, but the tank commander also opens fire on MBTs and APCs at ranges below 1000. Itīs a total waste of ammo and just looks stupid.

AT apc's ok, that makes sence. Tanks no. WIERD. Well your tank commander is doing his own thing. Nothing to do. If its m60 you 900 .50 cal rounds. Would not worry to much about that. In next beta Andrey fixed issue with .50 cal ammo. It should now kill APC's, and IFV's like the real deal.

Flashburn -

Many thanx for this excellent tutorial.

Two things had been bothering me about gunnery in the M60 - how to get the side level to work and where the repeater was for the range finder in the TC's station - I've been looking for weeks! Both of which you have cleared up. Good stuff.

Just to add a couple of points - if you cntrl left click to assign a target, once it is destroyed de-assign it by cntrl left click on a bit of dead ground to cancel the target, otherwise the dead target remains the point of interest until you cntrl left click on another live target. This will be confirmed audibly by the crew. And if you try to cntrl left click an an already dead target - say a tank that has been abandoned by its crew but still looks live, cleverly the program won't let you. So if you try and you can't it's already dead. Saves unnecessary waste of ammo.

As you rightly said the more you delve into this tank sim the more brilliance you uncover.

Cheers mate. Looking forward to the T-62 tutorial.

I noticed that the gunner is doing his own thing or at least he is way better than me. He spots a target and he is firing away before I set the range. Often his target is not visible to me be. sometimes a bush is in front of me so that is all I can set the rangefinder on.

Thanks a lot, FlashBurn! Purchased SABOW a few days ago and got very confused by it so far, so this tutorial is extremely helpful to me as well.

Just went through the lengthy sign up and waiting for clearnce process as I wanted to thank you for the tutorial mr burn. As yet I still have not entered the sim par of the game and am still scratching my head over the tactical element lol!

Am I to understand you will also be covering this tactical stuff in a later tutorial? Hope so - youre gunnery tuttorial was all very lucid and intelligent - I await with Baird breath!

Thanks again

Bugger and damn that predictive text malarkey! Meant to say baited breath not 'Baird' breath whoever the hell he is.

thanks FlashBurn!

They call the gunner's control handles "Cadillacs" because the turret and controls were designed by Cadillac-Gage Co.

Just a bit of military trivia :*)
