We saw a glimpse of a realistic Fire Control System in Dancing on the Edge cinematic trailer and it would be awesome to have them added to all ground vehicles that have them in real life as well.
Currently only some SPAA vehicles have such FCS that help them calculate the lead required to shoot down aerial targets but no other modern ground vehicles have it yet.
A realistic FCS on modern MBTs should be able to “lock” onto targets and calculate the lead to hit them if they’re moving and also notify the gunner of targets in sight and on vehicles that have more sensors like LWS, commander/gunner can put the vehicle in a mode where it can aim the gun towards the source of incoming laser.
We should at least have such FCS functionalities in simulator battles to make it more “simulating” but it would be awesome to have them added in realistic mode as well.
At a minimum, it would be cool if FLIR systems could lock onto helicopters.

True. Most of the functionalities carried by helicopter sights/FCS can also be found on modern MBTs as well specially Russian tanks that can launch ATGMs. They should be able to lock on targets and guide the missiles similar to how it’s done on helicopters.
If I’m not wrong ballistic computers for ground vehicles still a very waited feature but knowing how Gaijin will handle this and knowing the maps will be small as it’s today, this feature will have no use.
