Thursday it is Sir.  Mind if I bring any other interested swine along?  I have several avid tankers in the squadron.  All of which could use some practice and think through of the new system.

Sounds good to me, want to shoot for 5:30 paficic/8:30 eastern on Thursday?  Meet in the TA and depending on how things go we can move it to the DA if you actually want to see if the hits are causing any damage.

I never did GV's before the update, so when I tried it, I wasn't blocked by some old reflex. Took me 5mins to figure out everything and figured the gunsight underway.  In the panzer I found it a good idea to preset range while underway. 800yds seems good enough of a starter for AP rounds. Anything closer is easily compensated for given the very flat ballistic ar this range and It's good up to 1200-1300yds without too much fiddling. Beyond that, it reduce the time needed to adjust for longer range since your already closer. For HE round divide whatever range you had  for AP by grossely 1/2.

Looking around is so easy it's almost too easy. Find target in commanders view, wait for turret to traverse and hit '2'. And tgt is right there.

Hey Soulyss and other guests,

Thanks for letting me be your target and letting me shoot you fellers back last night.  My MOJO is back and I am ready to tank the main arenas to death!

All fun aside, we worked ranging gunsites for Soulyss on just about every tank from T-34's to Shermans to the German steel.  From 500 all the way out to 2.5k.  Goal was to give Soulyss a good point of reference for training purposes using the different countries site systems.  Hope it helped!  Then it degenerated into a spawn battle in both fixed long distance shooting to advancing and firing as well as driving and shooting up close and personal.  Was worth the practice time!
