    Yes it's variable and the gunner uses whatever RPM he has while the tank is on the move, i guess the gunner only controls the RPM trough the driver only while the tank is stationary.

    So i looked in the report on King tiger, regarding the turret, because it had a similar system and there's nothing reported about the system being crew intensive, it's even recommended to use the hydraulic turret system on the move because of it's overall comfort without even including the controlling handles. The whole system is a bit bigger then equivalent hydraulic system specially designed for tanks, the one in King tiger is from machining equipment and that means complex, as a downside is mentioned the engine being off means no hydraulic turret control, other observation being the gunner and loader having both manual turret controls, probably meaning only in rotation not elevation. https://litl-bro.livejournal.com/1700.html There are more docs in that list, the King tiger is under the "Tiger B" name, the .pdf links do not work, download in the original format .djvu and just convert them into pdf with an online djvu to pdf converter, works like a charm.

    In what sense a joke? The point on accuracy was that it was equal in the original qoute, which it isn't.

    The gunners sights on Panther(2,5x-5x) and King tigers(3x-6x) had optics with variable magnification, using least magnification had a very wide view angle. This can be also put to the comparison. The Panther gunner also had a two-dial turret position indicator, that may also have helped. Another interesting thing is the "blindspot" from up to down and how other AFV had their way with it, like in the first image with a side view of a Panther. The accuracy myth is one interesting too, soviets captured a random King tiger and tested it, the R100 is a lot tighter.

    The captured King tiger in that test was shooting at targets around a test field(aimed), are there IS-2,ISU-122,SU-152 in the same kind of environment tested for fire rate(aimed)? The stowed ammunition is important too. The King tiger tested above, in gear 2 at 2000RPM made a 360 in 20sec(gear 1 in 40sec), gear 2 at 1000RPM in 43sec(gear 1 minute 26 sec), gear 2/1 at 500RPM 1 min 15-20sec. How other tanks are doing regarding their turret rotation speed?

    Raytheon Ramps Up Range On TOW Missile. Man what a good system, it keeps on giving.

    Some HD videos regarding the killing of that Suburban.

    There's probably more kinds of stations for the loader.

    I used those numbers a lot of time, never had problems in forums where people knew their stuff with those numbers. Those meaning that DM63 will penetrate at @ 1000 meters ~70mm at 90 degr. Be care-full though warthunder's specialists with numbers straight from the main user the Bundeswehr! Will not let you pass!

    So at what distance did they shot at 100 m or 2000 m?

    Tanks(planes too) do have the tendencies to be near the end or reaching half of it service life when a big war starts, you kind need that long service life not interrupting activities before the big war starts.

    A hydromechanical trasmission increases by 1.5-2.0 times, the reliability and durability/service life of powerpacks and that's for the '60.

    From Otvaga.

    Nothing vaguely, recognition range for a tank target in narrow field view is 2,6-2,8 km for Nocturne.
  16. Pascal
    That's unbelievable.

    HMWHS actually helps save space by having less crew, from some 160 people to 16 people with HMWHS. The deck is also big because of the role these carriers will have, carrier strike + helicopter carrier. It has a lot minor details for helicopter operations like that of two towers, five to ten helicopters at once ready for operation on deck, hangars for Chinooks without folding blades, lifts that can accommodate two Chinooks simultaneously with unfolded blades, space for the troops which will be transported by helicopter. It also has four PTBs. A beefed-up helicopter carrier with a taste for Sea Control+.

    I think that's because of the Highly Mechanised Weapon Handling System (HMWHS) on it, supposed to increase the number of sorties with lesser aircraft. Plus probably there will be an increase in the number of aircraft. I am just happy that they got like double the number of aircraft over their older carriers. Too bad HMS Ocean was sold, a dedicated helicopter carrier is a must.

    Towed artillery is the stuff for real kind of war. Replacing trucks with cannons for Archer, G6 and Dana is like replacing the AT4 with SMAW.

    Nice video, there's also a comment from the man itself, The Chieftain: "It may be worth noting that some modern tanks do still use a compressed air bore exacuation system... look at Leclerc."

    Iran has world’s ‘fastest-growing church,’ despite no buildings - and it's mostly led by women.

    Ouch, someone dropped that model on the floor.

    Metallurgical and Ballistic Investigation of Fifty Captured German Helmets Fifty is a good number for testing.

    That's one interesting way to cosplay.
