Vertical targeting speed inaccuaracies in T-80BVM and T-90M being neglected

Hello,

I am writing about some concerns regarding inaccuracies in the vertical targeting speeds in T-series of tanks equiped with 2E58 stabilizer and Sosna-U sights T-72B3 (series), T-80BVM, and T-90M.

Just before my argumentation, recently there were rumors that reload speeds are going to be buffed and I’m completely okay with that. Soviet style mbts are severely lacking in this department and it still lies in ‘realistic’ reload speeds.

It’s clear on the video (https://youtu.be/IpInP1rcyGA), that the vertical targeting speed in these tanks are inaccurately implemented, as in this case the targeting speed is not determined by stabilizer, but the sight system. It means in the game Russian tanks have 8 times faster targeting speed.

Considering that Chineese VT-4, ZTZ-99 and Ukrainian T-84 Oplot tanks are limited by sight system, Russian ones aren’t. It doesn’t seem to be consistent and fair for all other counterparts.

Best wishes and I hope the change in vertical targeting speeds will be consistent accross the board

almost all tanks at toptier should have their vertical speed nerfed

honestly insane that some get 40/40 and other get crappy WW2 tier rates like Type 90/10, its really unfair for the rest of toptier vehicles.

It’s deliberate. Neither bug nor neglect.
