We all know that the gunners targeting skill affect turret rotation speed and that is absurd, in modern tanks you have a joystick and i dont think you really have to be trained and your skill will not affect the max turret rotation speed except when the battery is on 0 and the gunner manually drives the turret. fix this
Gunners targeting skill should not influence turret rotation on modern tanks with electric gun drive

It should only affect the backup hand drives, which dont get modelled…

most tanks with electric elevation and traverse have backup hand driven options in case of failiure. Pretty much no vehicle gets them as a backup in game tho

if ur engine is off and battery is on 0 then ur turret is slower, it is the hand driven thing
The concept that this represents is applied to electrical turret drives is practical targeting speed, not necessarily the mechanical limit. The targeting skill includes accuracy of shot as well, for your information.
For example, in real life a gunner with poor targeting skill may overshoot the target significantly when turning the gun towards it, compared to an experienced one who stops at the precise point. However, since this part isn’t modeled ingame, it is represented by slower targeting: the inexperienced one turns the turret slower in order to compensate.

Wait until you have your gunner in red health and find your modern MBT slowly rotating the turret because your gunner presumably can only press the rotate button so hard now

why do you think i said „max turret rotation speed“ its logical that the gunners skill affect quality of targetimg but not the physical maximum turret rotation speed

This has annoyed me for years. Electric Drive turrets should not be affected by crew skill while active.
Did you even understand my post? To clarify for you, the targeting quality/skill is necessarily a factor in targeting speed, in real life.
The mechanical limit of the targeting speed of the tank is similar to the maximum power of a swing in golf, for example. Targeting quality is your accuracy. Let’s say there are two golf players; both have the same maximum power of swing, but they have different levels of skill in accuracy. Since golf players with bad aim could catastrophically miss the hole with a strong shot, they will either need to take a greater number of shots, or reduce their swing power in order to compensate. Either way, there is therefore obviously a difference in performance, even though the theoretical max speed is the same.
This isn’t hard to understand.
