99% of the time crews wouldn’t be shoving aside their dead comrades to take up their position when under fire from multiple enemy tanks either.
Gun is possible to get destroy easily.
Gun breach on the other hand shouldn’t be that easy.
Id like to drive what leo2s you are driving.
Any Challenger 2 Vs Leopard 2A7V. I get non pens with direct hits Vs the mantlet all the time…you have to aim for the crack just below the barrel or you won’t pen
Meanwhile here i am, repairing my gun breech for the sixth time in one game.
Its prolly just my experience but it sure does feel like breech repair simulator 2024
Yep, and just remember, the mantlet on the challenger 2 has no armour and is about 4 times larger than the Leopard 2A7V.
You basically hit front of the turret anywhere and it’s a 100% chance to disable the fun and 60% chance to 1 shot the tank
Ground Sim addresses barrel cam and this alone makes barrel/breech hits much less common. Bonus points for making sniping though missing bricks in a wall, or those rusty shipwrecks on Aral sea much less feasible
Abrams and Challenger suffer from this the most after testing for hours.
Challenger i would believe you but abrams?
With its turret ring?
I, for one insist on using “Camera from tank gunner sight” even if i play outside SB (Simulator Battle).
It’s more immersive and does give some advantage when you peak over the hill with some vehicles plus with Laser range finder (FCS) it help you bypass parallax issue. Even then with some experience you can make do without having to rely on LRF at close range.
Though sometime i had to turn it off because Match making gave me a map like Rhine or Cargo port.
To OP
I do get why you feel irritating.
But as in this game your vehicle crews doesn’t get stun when his vehicles getting hit/penetrate (imagine a mechanic where your screen shake when taking a hit and after that motion blur+ tinnitus sound effect. You’ll get the idea)
Nor that those crew feel like they need to abandon their vehicles asap after taking a hit over and over (i.e. try to survive) as well as the fact that shooting at enemys engine doesn’t stop your enemy from shooting you back even with gunner or commander killed. Enemy still can replace them with other crew and that still take less time than repairing main gun.
So in this game Player tent to shoot to disable enemys main gun first since they aren’t sure that they able to kill enemy in 1 shot. As that was the safest way.
