Please tell me I am not the only one that noticed rounds shooting way low on some vehicles in Sim GB?
Especially noticeable on the UK 8.3 / 9.3 range like todays brack. And no, I am not talking about at range - I am talking near literal point blank. It is almost as if the round exists below the barrel.
Have you considered that in ground simulator battles your vision is locked into your sight not into your cannon, it’s called parallax.
It is just as he said, the gunner sight is in a different place to the turret (in the chieftains’ case over the turret to the right)
You’ll note that the round goes sideways the higher the range, completely missing the target by several meters if the range is very high. And this is why some people have created customised sights for different vehicles that account for the displacement. This can also happen in Realistic battles if you enable the option ‘Camera from tank gunner sight’
I have - and it is inconsistent on some vehicles. I am well aware of how the shells works. Also do have years of game knowledge. What I am trying to describe is a new thing on vehicles where I know how the sight behaved.
Basically - at random it feels like the round is coming out from underneath barrel through the hull and not via the breach to barrel.
Also - On average how matches goes for me in sim (cause I know statshark is gonna be checked and not much there yet for sim) :
Thanks but ye :) Am aware. Grew up with some of the beasts in game and even got to have fun on the range with some of these.
Basically - it feels like the desync bug but instead of trailing behind it now goes “low”.
We just had that massive horizontal desync weeks ago, hard to deny the existence of vertical one…
Use the LRF, it will automatically adjust your sight for range for parallax.
Live by it above 8.0 - usual checks aint it. I have USA / GER / UK in full 12.0 and have been playing since 2018. I am talking about a new thing
So it’s shooting low even with laser range finding.
Correct even at close range and it happens at random. As I said it feels like the round is coming from below the barrel and not through the barrel/breach line.
That’s weird, make a bug report.
Ye have a feeling it is gonna be needed - why I checked here if it is just me or…
Not played much ground in a long time, but I also noticed the same in UK tanks in the Centurion bracket, esp Centurion. Well aware of the sight being mounted above the gun. Round lands ridiculously low, as if the sight was on a periscope sticking up above the turret. Seen pictures of similar bug in one of the German WW2 TDs - vehicle is behind the concrete pipe sections lying around on Abandoned Factory; concrete obstruction is clearly a bit taller than TD; gunsight somehow has unobstructed view over the top, as if it was mounted above the vehicle.
