If I understand correctly in modern tanks this is called as a Hunter-Killer capability, in other words the ability of the commander to «slave» the main gun through his E/O devices, either day or IIR scope.

western countries tanks have that. idk if russians or chinnese tanks use a hunter kill system.

Nice job - I particularly liked the new panther gunsite - much more realistic and effective than the current one.

 It's a really big deal to us if we can skip modeling the interior of tanks.  That takes the biggest chunk of development time on tanks but doesn't add a commensurate value.  Not doing an interior on a tank makes it way faster to kick out new tanks.  

i like the idea of more tanks! :x
So I can live without the interior of them! :rock

looks like we are all  gonna be back at Tank school for a bit!
Well,, almost all :noid

it IS an interesting development.  On the one hand I love the idea of a pure tank combat simulation.  On the other, the game needs to be practical and fun, and even more than that, compelling.  I have the feeling this is going to improve the ground combat gaming experience by a good amount.  I like a little bit of complexity in my games but the more I think about it, the more I have accepted AH as a war game first and foremost, and a combat simulation beyond that.

Then by al means skip it! Very much looking forward to what you guys have come up with for the GVs. And the youtube thing is great for giving us game news. I'm all giddy here. :x

I actually think the current system is artificially hard in many ways.  The new system I think will do a better job of representing crew operations than we currently have.  On top of that it sounds like it will speed up the development cycle on new GV's which is good thing. :)
