bojan Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 And "great gunsights" is often brought as an argument about Tiger. Problem is people concentrating on single thing and ignoring everything else: "Super magnification!" - there is only very narrow field of view "Great glass quality" - ignores the fact that almost every WW2 gunsight fogged like crazy and that good picture was only near center of the already miserable view angle "Very simple to use" - lacks any sort of ranging help, even basic range scale "Best in own class" - none else produced it because it was either too complicated or had some other hidden problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one part from around 4:00, looks like it has some degree of multi-camera to give nearby visual surround awareness similar to what the Israelis were testing around with.

BansheeOne Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 It does. Narrator says that the dismount element's job while mounted is watching the close surroundings while the vehicle crew scans farther out. Basically what each of them did by sticking their heads out or with much more limited optics on the Marder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Peter Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Hungarian tank driver training, new round started for NCOs. Training program name is "steel cube" 🙄 According to the narration the A4s are out for training the trainers, and anyone learned to drive a T-72 will have easier job with the Leopards.

Adam Peter Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Mine clearing equipment training - plus 1 ton (1000 kg) weight on the front, the driver recognizes it, no turning, just go straight, generally: harder to drive a T-72 than a modern car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbo Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 2 hours ago, Adam Peter said: TDs in indirect fire role? Why shot sideways? Perhaps the explanation is that is is easier to toss the spent shell casings out of the turret, if it is at an angle to the hull. I.e. the casings hit the ground, not the rear hull.

shep854 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Maybe simply easier to swing turret than turn the whole vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
