Shame the Veak-40's HE-VT shell wasn't revised while the devs were at it. It currently detonates way too far away from the target resulting in very minimal damage. Same goes for the Lvkv 9040C. While the current trigger radius ingame is 15 meters, it should be 5 or 10 depending on the user settings. Using one or the other ingame would be a fine way to fix the issue.

Interesting changes, but i'll have to point out the following:

 

Both the german LeKpz M41 and the swedish VEAK 40 don't have access to Commander Sights ingame (client version is in fact 2.7.0.171)

Does that mean that the Commander just instantly takes over the gunner position without having a sight to even see something?

just a bit confused

 

(Japanese M41A1 works fine, having CoSights including duplicate firecontrol.)
