No, Bvvd denied it
Ah damn
I really don’t want tank target tracking, air is fine as its niche, but tank target tracking (excluding ground radars) removes all skill from the game

Whats wierd. despite the CR3TD being the only one with an appropriate shell. I dont think it gets it. Unless ive missed something
Only the black night seems to be getting it sadly
Yeah…
Really ?
BN got it. Its… okay…
None of the others did, including the CR3TD with a shell that would actually be effective agaisnt helis
No idea what the IRL requirement is for the tank for that to be added

I was told the CR2s will, but just the Black Night did
The 3TD, as Morvran said,is the only one which has a proper shell to use it with. The target tracking gives your HE-TF essentially a proxy fuse as it perfectly sets the fuse for you.
I’ll have a look over the 3TDs sights and see if I can find any info about them having air target tracking.
So? Isn’t that the entire hunter killer system?

It seems so random…
As far as I know the Challenger 2 LEP and 3 use the Thales Orion commander sight (same as the AJAX), which in several sources including the European Military Defence magazine 2020 states it has automatic target tracking
I think theres a decent chance the 3TD could get it

No, these vehicles have automatic tracking (think sosna on the russian ones). Literally lock onto the target and automatic target solution.
Irl it’s for engaging tanks at long range. For the challenger (and Leclerc) in particular, the commander is supposed to be able to queue up targets, and the gunner can basically swap through them. I don’t know why they’d bother adding it just for helis, particularly when some of the vehicles getting it have no shell to make use of the feature.
Hunter-killer is just being able to cue the gunner to the commander’s aiming point.

Ive made a bug report for the Challenger 3 TD to get target tracking, I’ll keep looking for more sources but hopefully they accept it.
Currently its kind of a wall of text, the extracts and documents are attached just not visible.

That report got shot down, so I made another with different sources

RBSL explicitly state target tracking
edit: the report was accepted :)

However, even on BN, automatic target tracking will sometimes allow you to successfully shoot down helicopters, as this system currently does not trigger LWR on helicopters on DEV
Ive just done a photo dump about the CR2 CUP still having the dozer, this could just go to the current CR2 ingame
