What is it with the inconsistent depression on the IKV 91-105 when aiming above the front of the hull, from what i read online the depression shouldn’t be worse above the driver port, like you can see in the included image the depression i around 10 degrees around the front. I thing this should be fixed and the depression should be more consistent when aiming frontally.
That’s not an Ikv 91-105, that’s the earlier Ikv 91, which doesn’t have any restrictions to gun depression over the front
With the Ikv-91-105, the gun has to elevate so the mantlet clears the driver’s hatch

One side of the hull has a higher angle slope, so it can depress further over the lower angle portion.

in this article it is stated
To accommodate the larger gun while retaining the gun depression of the original ikv 91 a new enlarged turret not unlike that proposed for the UDES 14D was constructed.
so i don’t know what is the real depression.
