I think I should probably play War Thunder from the beginning again

Guys, I found out that vehicles without the modification “Rangefinder” are able to measure range too when I have reached Rank 5 for ground vehicles. So, I was wondering why soviet WW2 vehicles barely have rangefinders, and I randomly saw that ASU-85 has the modification “Rangefinder”, and I was testdriving it, but I didn’t find the button for rangefinder, so I went to “control” and assigned a button for rangefinder. But after that, while I was playing BMP 1, I accidentally touched that botton, it said that it’s measuring the range which I did not expect that at all, then I realized that how ridiculous it was, just because I had not assigned a button to find range😭

i feel sad for you just now finding that out but yes every tank has the capability of rang finding even though the tanks that dose not have the mod just takes a lot longer.

most of the time there is no point in using rangfinder untill you reach rank 5-6 due to how slow it is but good on you for finding out

You’re not alone. I’m ashamed to say it took me an embarrassingly long time to realise not only how to rangefind, but also that you can manually adjust the sight to set the range 😂

Fun fact, if you speak the crew’s language you can skip waiting for the rangefinder if you rangefind a tank specifically.

They’ll go.
