Gaijin announced a few days ago that they would be adding a roll axis stabilizer to the Turm III.
However, what advantages does a roll axis stabilizer offer in the current state of the game?
As far as I’ve played the game, I haven’t encountered any problems with a two-axis stabilizer so far.
Was it necessary to keep the gun always horizontal to simplify ballistic calculations? If the turret is always horizontal, then trunnion inclination errors don’t need to be considered, so a three-axis stabilizer might improve firing accuracy.
(This is similar to how vehicles with laser rangefinders automatically correct for errors caused by trunnion inclination.)
It’s a pretty minor change, but it should slightly improve stabilisation when on rough ground, or when the tank is on an angle

In reality? Most militaries don’t think the roll axis stabilizer is useful. In the game at least it will be useful though.
irl roll axis is often done in the software rather than hardware
Minor change, gimmick but cool, specially since the vehicle was marketed with that feature but only now really implemented.
The three-plane stabilized turret of the Turm III will give aspiring commanders of this machine the ability to accurately fire on the move.
The idea of three-axis stabilization is cool on the paper but even in-game with basic ballistics logic, this change is minor and in uneven terrain you can still accurately shot at a target with minimal effort.
yes a 3 plane stablizer is a buff tho not a large one but is a good buff
for example you are on a hill but you are sideways so your optics number markings are not facing up down but more to the side so when you elavate the gun you must take account for the angle of the tank and adjust accordingly
3 plane stab eliminates that problem
Now that they finally put it higher in BR, making it less OP, it needed a new feature.
Well, it’s now actually going to be a lot cooler, since it’s going to do what it was designed to do, instead of just being an OP premium.
I would buy it but Gaijin has to make a lot more changes to the game before I’m willing to spent more money on it.

Which as I’ve mentioned is mostly to make the vehicle accurate with its real life counterpart, uneven terrain shoot doesn’t take the angle in consideration, at least on situations where you don’t range manually or don’t use laser range finder:
I’d say so. Though I wonder how this will effect the vehicles battle rating once everyone gets their hands on it because it’s still a very good vehicle at 8.7 without it.
