Please could we have some historical optics and historical weapon ranges/ballistics on the tanks?

I believe we already have something similar in our tanks? (at least the German ones)

Maybe i didnt explain myself very well...

I was looking for historical gun sights and realistic zoom when i said optics.

AH, generic tank gun sight...

German sight from 'another' game (sorry i hate comparing but i cannot find a picture of the real german sight) range is fully adjustable and target marker moves as you change the range.

Ahh, World War II Online...

I agree, having proper optics for armor would be nice, though from what I've heard Russian optics on the T-34 were very complicated and difficult to use.

You have it all wrong.  Russian equipment was very SIMPLE and hard to use, as in everything is manual.  Of course, it was also rugged enough to handle conditions in Russia; weather, warfare, and worst of all Russian soldiers.

The Game Red Orchrestra has the most realistic tanks i have ever seen in a game.

CRS, the guys who make WWII Online, get their optics images from the folks at places like the Bovington Tank Museum. A donation for a favor, it's worked for them every time.

I did like the range finder in ww2ol. It would be nice to have something like that.

They did a very nice job with the armor,  I'll agree.
