Anyone know what the tick mark milliradians are for the new T34 sight?  The tics of all tanks used to be 5 mR, I think.  The new T34/85 appears to have ticks (distance between the colons or the ^ marks) of about 8 mR?

This answers my question:

If you wish to know sight  marking sizes or spacing bring up the target at  3333 yards. Then Each circle will be 1 mil.

HiTech

The distance between the ^ marks in the T34/85 are indeed 8 mils.  So if a Panzer (19.5 ft long) is side on and just fits between two ^ marks of the T34/85 sight, it's at a range of 812 yds.  If it fits between a ^ and the adjacent : then it's 1625 yds, etc.

The tick marks on the T34/76 are 2 mils.

The Kanonenvogel had 6 rounds per pod, this is not even close to being open for debate.

It took me a few days to get accustomed to the new GV controls and even the sights from the TC perspective, but I must say the change in optics was actually a welcome sight (no pun intended). Back in the old days, lol, 1995-96, I remember playing a game that was I think called Panzer Commander for PS1. It was a prettt awesome game that allowed you to roll around in a number of WW2 Tanks in certain WW2 Battles such as Villers Bocage and Kursk. The optics in that game were basically the same as the new ones just implemented (historical) and I have been able to kill enemy Armor much quicker and with almost pinpoint accuracy.  :aok :aok HTC!
