ADATS, what Gaijin got wrong

3:10 on your video.

You mean a shape like this? EFP Shaped Charge Assembly Cutaway (4") - Inert Replica - Inert Products LLC

Later on the dinamic test both the rear and the front warhead set off the era, 4:00 and 4:50, so they both charges seems to be heat rounds, also i really doubt that an EFP can penetrate over 510mm of armor as it shows in the video, specially for a 40mm warhead with a copper liner, as EFP heavily depends of the diameter of the charge.
The test where the the precursor did not detonate the era is likely due to the impact angles.

This topic has been going off topic long enough. I will take most of the blame for that for continued feeding into it. Could it be heat? Possibly? I find it odd they don’t label the warhead as such while it is a fairly common label for munitions. I am still it the park that it is a some other kind of warhead other than HEAT. If someone want’s to continue this my DMs are open.

obviously tow 2b uses a casaba howitzer warhead

What on move? Gun? Cuz there are no missiles on the move

This is still a topic to discuss the ADATS and not multiple vehicles on so many broad topics, so please keep it that way

I don’t want to come back, see 50+ messages on this topic hoping some more what has been discussed and seeing it’s not about the ADATS

Please do as both @Thenighthunter and @condor777645-psn said… It is alright to give examples and mention other vehicles since the game is tied between them but if the discussion goes too far then just cut it or move it elsewhere. This thread is specifically made for the ADATS and its issues, therefore keep it that way.

could this help in figuring out? found this interesting article that talks about modern russian thermals

btw can anyone link me some info about adats thermals? would appreciate it

Yea

I forgot its adats discussion xD

The ADATS thermal is the same one used on the Apache(AH-64 i think) which has much higher resolution compare to tank thermals which mean that the ADATS should atleast get gen 2 thermal to compensate
and also i dont think gen 1 thermal with that resolution would qualified and works well against spotting enemies plane since the ADATS goals is to spot and accurately kill which it succeed at, even in quite horrid weather condition(sandstorm, winter, clouds)

Gaijin determines Gen based on technology (mostly), and adats uses either 120 or 180 (I don’t remember) common type module, that falls under Gen 1 in game.

thats a bum

There is a chance that CanDATS was upgraded to Gen 3, but I do not have any concrete proof.

even if it does i doubt gaijin would give it to the ADATS
or it would take 2 years atleast to do so

They have an arbitrary Gen 1+ category of thermal that is allowed for helicopters. The AH-64 has the same optics as ADATS but higher zoom and resolution.

tbh id love for ADATS to have gen 2 thermal, accurate or not it should be close

Why is there no option to switch to TV tracking? I’m tired of being able to SEE enemy planes and not being able to lock.

TV tracking in game is just worse IR tracking, it seems to be the same code just with lower sensitivity. That is why.

It already has TV/IR tracking; there would be no change.
