Tank gun dispersion

[Keiler]

We have dispersion on every gun except the man-ack and tankguns. Why?

Well for my part the man-ack could stay as it is, ROF makes it difficult to hit with already.

But tank guns hitting the very same spot at 2000yds... ?

Look at the Tiger's gun:

 Accuracy:
Gun    88 mm KwK 36 L/56
Ammunition    Pzgr. 39    Pzgr. 40    Gr.39 HL
Range          
500 m               100 (100)    100 (100)    100 (98)
1000 m              100 (93)    99 (80)    94 (62)
1500 m              98 (74)    89 (52)    72 (34)
2000 m              87 (50)    71 (31)    52 (20)
2500 m              71 (31)    55 (19)    
3000 m              53 (19)

Non bracketed values show the probability in % to hit a tank sized target under controlled conditions, that means it is the ability of the gun+ammunition itself.

The bracketed numbers show the average hit probability in % by an average, calm gunner when the range is known.

Looking at the 2000m column, one sees the gun+ammo for example 39 (most common AP) has a 87% chance of hitting a tank due to dispersion! In other words, it has a dispersion characteristic of roughly 3,8x3,8 meters (~4x4 yds) at 2000m.


Any chance of seeing that in a future version?

Tank's main gun has huge recoil instead.

Well for me it doesnt make a big difference when you focus on recalling where you aimed at when squeezing the trigger.
If thats the case you will hit a stat target basically at any range, every shot.

My point is, there was a reason most tank engagements in WW2 took place under 1500m, usually a lot closer than that even.
