Our 2024 Roadmap included several interface improvements, and one of them was new reticles for modern tanks with improved elements of the tank’s gun sight systems. Today, we’re pleased to present it to you, not just in an updated form, but in a deeply customized form as well. This new feature will come to the game in the Dance of Dragons major update — let’s take a look!
A new option called “Sight settings” has been added to the Ground vehicle Battle Settings. When clicking on this button, you can create your own configuration of interface elements displayed in the gunner’s sight. Configurations that you create can be saved to individual vehicles or to every vehicle at a selected rank of a specific nation at once so that you don’t have to create a sight for each vehicle one by one. Plus, you can also use any sight on any vehicle in the game (yes, that means you can use the modern US sight on a T-34 if you want!).
The following elements can be customized:
Grid sight. You can either select it from the grids already available in the game, or install a custom sight downloaded to the /UserSights/ folder located in the game directory
Rangefinder indicator
Turret rotation indicator
Sight field of view indicator at maximum zoom
Shot readiness indicator (shows readiness status and reload time)
Interface elements that do not affect aiming can be easily and conveniently dragged around the screen with your mouse cursor. Each element can be viewed in different modes: day, night, with a night vision device or with a thermal imager.
This is just the first version of the customizable aiming sights that will be coming to the game in the Dance of Dragons major update. New elements and additional settings may be added in the future. In the meantime, tell us what you think about this new feature on the official forum or on our social networks!
I’m begging you. Make the radar displays customizable. So I can change their size and position on the screen. This is especially a huge problem for apache radar and it’s almost impossible to use after you made it much smaller.
This looks great! With the 4 new color categories, does this fix the previous issue of quads/lines not being affected by “highlight:b=no”, or is this something we will see in a later fix?
This looks absolutely amazing!
Cred to the designers and developers of this feature!
is there going to be a way to load already made sights and copy them over to other tanks? like if i make a sight for the Leopard 2A6 can i then copy that sight to all other leopards in the other trees via some sort of copy paste system?
