Ummm... not kidding but may have the range off. Its probably closer to seven to ten miles (far beyond icon range). M4s rule the roost right now. Panzers and Tigers... not at all.

At last check the Tiger and Panther have earned the perk price ad then some.  The k/d ratio is still heavily in their favor.

I think giving the tanks sights their due is going to make things better (as will the more correct tracked system of steering), there isn't anything that "sucks" about removing gamey game stuff and adding in more correctly modeled vehicles.

No thats not true. The actual Shermans were used in this way so its as if you are asking for less realism. It is true they were ranged by observers but we dont have those.

True.  Most tanks were used for indirect fire support in some manner when able and yes they were helped by forward observers.  Regardless of the new FOV's, that function can still be done just not as easily as previously.

indirect fire...nowhere near as accurate as the laser guided sighting in ah...no further than 3 or 4 miles...absolutely not 10...tanks were and are front line troop support weapons...that means close range, not 10 miles behind the lines firing like artillery...3000 yds with the sighting systems used in ww2 vintage tanks was a very good shot.

keep in mind the 76mm main gun on the m4 sherman was a modified field gun that had an effective range of about 3.04 miles...then they shortened the barrel by 15 inches which reduced the performance a little.

So it will be more automated, simulating the function of a 4 or 5 man crew?

Sounds more realistic to me.

What I am talking about it not accurate but area fire for effective elimination of area targets and buildings. Its ineffective against 'live' targets except the lighter green vehicles and even then takes multiple hits.

It's sounding like I won't be able to shoot at planes with my pintle gun while leaving my turret aimed in another direction anymore.  It also sounds like I won't be able to fire only my pintle or only my hull gun.  And if all the guns are slaved does that mean the machine guns fire when I fire the turret and vice versa?

It looks cool but I guess I'll take a wait and see attitude.  I for one will miss the interiors too.
