Stupid tank optics...

[Melvin]

Here's a blast from the past.

Sorry about the violation, just thought we needed a refresher.

"06-24-2000"    Indeed.

I only posted it because I was searching for German tank optics on the web and stumbled across this gem.

Given all the current changes it gave me a chuckle and I figured some others may get a kick out of it.

Heck, at nearly 11 years I'd say it's out of necro-bump status and more along the lines of "history lesson". 

Have a great day!

Speaking of history of tank optics in AH:

View of a Tiger at ~850 yards through a Panzer IV gunsight before the change:





And that is how a Tiger at about the same range does appear now in a Panzer IV gunsight:

Not really upset with the realistic optics as far as zoom level and field of view.  I do have an issue with the optics on the US vehicles.  They go from moderately white-cloudy (m476) to the virtually unusable almost fully clouded optics like the (m375).  If this is what the WWII tankers had to deal with, I am glad I was a grunt and the view over my M16 sight was at least clear.  Those guys had a lot to contend with.  You have to admit trying to find a semi-hidden M4 with the cloudy sights is a challenge, they are almost invisible. Don't even ask me what I think of trying to de-ack with these sights, ack positions may as well have Harry Potters cloak over it.  So, I jokingly ask for a function key that will simulate a spritz of windex on the sights.

+1......

being an avid gv'er i can understand the different gun sight magnifications in different gv's,but having sights that are nearly clouded over is very disapointing as i was looking forward to this new update.Also i don't like not even being given the option to map the movement of my gv to my joystick.As it stands now i will be going from most of my time in a gv to hardly ever and possibly account deletion

 The M3 sight is the only one that is clouded enough to bug me.  It's still fun though, I even managed to get a Shegotya kill the other day but had to run when she started bouncing shells off of my hood lol.

Bravo.  Are you gone yet?

It sucks

If you learn it instead of crying, imagine what would happen. I hate change, myself, but it is necessary sometimes. Just learn and adapt and go on with the game. 

[kvuo75]

I wonder how people learned the previous method.

It still sucks.

[ImADot]

It still sucks.

I suppose you'd rather have every tank drive the same, gun the same, BE the same other than the name on it?  Perhaps you'd also like to have every plane fly the same, with the same gunsight and ammo?

The way it is now with the new optics, actually makes GV choice MEAN something.  If you feel the need to cry about it being a little more difficult, then perhaps this game is not for you.

i'm betting the sucking is only happening on your end...nothing wrong with the new system or the optics.
