Tank Trainers?
« on: May 24, 2012, 05:44:24 PM »
Any one willing to help out a tank driver with a little bit of sighting training?. I am also in need of flying help but that is way too vague right now ! .. Any help would be appreciated.
I can be on   most nights after 10 pm Eastern time .

I'm coming back in June, and can help you out then. But the only way to get good at spotting targets is practice.

If you mean sighting as in aiming, I can give you a helpfull link for the German panzer sights. But past a few tips and tricks, the only way to improve is practice.
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

Several of the AH trainers can get you settled in vehicles.  I am sure one will be along anytime now..

You can also use USRanger's practice map to work on figuring the ranges out.

You should bug W Whiskey, he's Hell on Wheels.

Instead of Hell on Wheels, wouldn't it be Hell on Tracks?
