Title: Tank aiming
Post by: Cremator on September 04, 2014, 10:35:43 AM
New month equals different style of play.  It's gv month for me...

While reading on the forums I've seen mention of ranging for enemy tanks.  I just guestimate and fire.  Am I missing something?  I usually am in a t34 or tiger.  Is there a proper technique for shooting or???  I can't make any sense of it.

The German tanks help you with ranging.  Take a look a this http://www.75thguards.com/ww2online/downloads/Zheriz_Ziess_Sight_Guide.pdf (http://www.75thguards.com/ww2online/downloads/Zheriz_Ziess_Sight_Guide.pdf)

After a while, just by sight, you will be able to estimate range pretty good...

I usually shoot within 800-1500 yards     That's average combat distance for the most part.

Also, use a friendly Icon to determine range

Open your clipboard, go to options, controls, devices, and click on "lead targeting tank sight."  Works like a charm.   :aok
