Why can’t they just make aiming sight stabilized (and force ADATS player to use gunner sight[optic])
Just like what we had with MBT where we had stabilized main cannon but still can fire HMG that are not-stabilized on the roof .
best thing for now is dropping
adats to 11.0/11.3 same as what they did with tor-m1 it has damn 11km range with mach 2.60 all the 11km fly time like literally so dosnt lose sspeed whatsoever unlike adats and its 42g missile at 11.0
60 G manoeuvrability in inner-layer ranges (2-4 km)
The heritage of ADATS, produced by Oerlikon Aerospace, includes an outstanding performance record with a mission success rate of 92% in over 200 live firings. Sea Sprint will have a speed of Mach3+, manoeuvering at 60g with a 12.5kg warhead and a range out to 10km […]
Extract from AMX 30 Valorisé suggestion (shameless plugin i know)
“(Talking about gunner’s station) On remplace la référence inertielle du viseur APX M453 par une deuxième référence inertielle liée à l’artillerie”. => “The inertial reference of the APX M453 sight is replaced by a second inertial reference point linked to the artillery (understand the main gun)”.
What does this lingo means ? It just means that when the gunner takes over the control of the gun, the FCS switches from the commander’s hunter killer (director stabilizer) mode to a classic gun stabilizer.
Over the AMX 30, this version got a normal stabilizer (for the gunner) and a hunter killer (director stabilizer) for the commander. This dual system is usually known as COSTAC and is usually portrayed as some weird technology. However through this short clip, we can see there was just a question of lost in translation. As GIAT mostly insisted on the commander’s hunter killer function (that no other 1960s MBT had back then), the normal stabilizer was only considered a back up solution, and therefore was not put forward to the foreign visitors. This led to confusion over the system. Confusion which continued to be carried over to its successor the AMX 32 (but less for AMX 40 as they had corrected their marketing error).
This sounds so silly. So, the operator would be watching the skies with TV/FLIR looking for missiles, even though there’s an advanced radar onboard? I’ll see if I can find anything about this.
