 Lusche you are saying the 20mm from the Hurricane will not track a tank like the T-34/76 anymore. If so that explains a lot to me, thanks.

No I'm not. I'm a bit confused - how you got the impression I may have? The only thing I was talking about in this thread was the Tiger II top armor thickness and its possible consequences.

Never fear, the 1999 enabled yard big RED icon will show the bomb tards right where he is sitting.  The other Achillies heel of the KT is going to be turret traverse.  Did this thing have true pivot ability like the Panther and Tiger?

So no more F3 view in the IL2 ?
Yes, your on "Ignore"

350.

I do 300 yards, and dont fire until the range indicator shows 400 yards, and then usually no more then 2-3 volleys before I pull up and reset for another pass.
