In my T-34/85 I still get ridiculously long, lob shot, one shot kills, when I can barely see the tank in the sight. Use a dry erase marker on the commanders position and draw a giant "T" with a dot near your ranging shot. Then adjust from there.  :old:

T-34/85 sight adjusts out to 3500 yards and still has room to go up in the sight picture.

How ridiculously far out are you shooting?

An enemy tank can hardly be seen at that range through Soviet optics anyways.  However, I think HTC was rather kind when it dealt "optical" quality out to the Soviets.  The went light on them and heavy on the Brits.   :headscratch:

I like the new M3 gun, but I've yet to be able to hit anything but buildings with it.

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