So CH3td is going to be getting another downgrade then?
iirc gaijin only uses the Day sight magnification for tanks, and disregards any 1x or near zoom modes,
the Night sight might have different zoom
if it means it goes back with the Chally 2 cohort i’d be happy
Unity = 1x magnification
Gaijin don’t include unity for optics on ground vehicles so it will be fixed at 6x.
Except when they do, in which case I suppose it doesn’t count?
Gaijin claiming they don’t implement 1x sights while having 1x sights in game is endlessly funny.

They only do 1x on commanders sights

So why can’t the commander’s sight get 1x then since it’s the exact same optic? I don’t see the reasoning still.
Plus a bunch of lower tier vehicles with 1x optics (I promise you this ring is not magnified lol) just have it set to 1.9. Feels like they’re just avoiding it.

I agree tbh, that 1-10x jump makes it unusable
They do not set it at 1, as in most cases camera is located inside the gun barrel, so at 0, you would not see anything (or so they say, don’t ask me about this magic). As to why they won’t give it a smaller number that fits, idk.
can they atleast make the 1x for the ajax’s commander

I’m about 98% certain the barrel doesn’t actually render in sights as the sight is inside the barrel mesh (which has no interior texture) (if you look very closely the barrel is actually there even at higher zoom levels, it causes some artefacting on thermals.)
If it comes with fixed 6x gunner and commander that’s going to be awful.
afaik your own vehicle isn’t rendered in the gunner sight, not sure about if it renders if you enable camera from gunner view. Commander sight does render the vehicle I think.
When you’re inside the vehicle mesh (sight is inside the base of the barrel) the vehicle isn’t visible. Same thing is achievable by clipping your camera inside another vehicle (except ships!). However, if you push the barrel up against something you’ll see artefacting on thermals from the barrel which is absolutely still there and rendered.
like this
so the barrel blocking your view is impossible because it would do already if true
Also we could have 1 more round…
not accounting for whatever the hell happened here
More Ajax was always going to be substandard aside from a few variants of it. BMPT is very easy to defeat, by most anything at the rating.
So is the ammo belt the big weakspot?
I imagine it’s somewhere on the turret, the hull is probably hard to engage with IFV rounds
sigh guess I need to start grinding it now!
Shoot about the middle of the turret with almost anything, even had some success with low caliber machine guns, to set off the ammo. It may not kill the thing outright, but it cripples it enough to approach it and kill it proper. Killed it most of the time, sometimes it survives. IFVs will have a better time if they get closer to it after crippling it, on account of the armour, but you can sneak rounds through it at range with most 40mms.
Really? From the front?
So you can’t ammo rack it from the ammo belts that go into the guns?
