Under Ground Vehicles > Lock Radar/IRST Target Lock
Just search IRST and the options will appear. Keybind it. I have it alt/space but that’s my preference.

I believe its that. If not, let me know.

Been downing more jets and helis thanks to this with the Type 90. Unfortunate that Japan didn’t invest into Air burst rounds for these tanks lol

Incredibly excited for this i just hope it wont push their brs up

wiat does that mean the japanese 30mm is the only one ingame that has 30mm HEVT

only one that has HE-TF iirc

shouldnt it be on… other 30mms like the new freccia OWS and the vilkas?

wild that the japanese bushmaster is now the best one ingame

No idea if the other 30mms used them or if the Japanese Bushmasters have a modification that the others don’t… Always worth bug reporting or asking a CM.

MK310 HE-TF
Not HE-VT

Pretty sure it should be AHEADn’t but w/e I’ll take it

checked neither the vilkas, namers, new OWS FRECCIA or CV9030 have it

so atm its like a special japanese thing

I expect more people to bug report the shell tho

in game, sure. I don’t know if the other Bushmasters are capable of using it IRL or have them IRL.

Could’ve been added because Japan struggles against DIRCM (IR + ARH struggle, only HE-VT ammo is 155mm Howitzers)

Was a bug report 2 years ago lol

So glad for it. Can down helis and close flying jets with ease.

Ah, okay. Worth asking Smin to bump it.

It can’t get AHEAD. For it to fire AHEAD, the gun needs this thing:

Which the CTWVs don’t have

With how it takes time to track onto someone, it wouldn’t be even that game changing with the current maps. The one with the best reflexes usually wins and tracking onto targets takes extra time rather than eyeing it and shooting yourself. If they would make better maps, that would be another thing. You wouldn’t have to eye long distances anymore which could actually be a benefit if people complain about pixel hunting.

Best internet but that’s life. With the map changes they have made I am getting the longer range maps more so we are getting the better maps.
