Yes, but it’s a false equivalence… We NEED the actual open sights…
I agree, but I think small changes are more likely to be implemented, and adding a generic sight xould be a good start.
It’d be more likely looked at as though that’ll suffice, and that players can do this sort of thing, and feel like they have the same outcome.
I’ve found that using aim from gunner sight in the Gepard to be more accurate, it seems the IRST lead indicator takes into account parallax from your gunner sight but doesn’t translate well into breech or barrel aiming, hence why most shots feel off or rather too short. But then again that’s just the Gepard, I haven’t tried it with other radar SPAAGs.

Hmmm… that is an interesting shout. I shall have to give that a try the next time I play that BR. Definetly sounds like something Gaijin would do…
Bruh, I will try this tonight. Never even thought about that.
Personally I research SPAA lines last. Its just not worth it to me to spend the same amount of time researching SPAA vehicles with limited use when I can use the time to research tank lines.
Can’t wait for Gaijin to patch it out lol, can’t have fun.
@ZendikarHaven and @GoneToTheAether here is the link for the sight pack. It is massive and has RB sights, SB sights, AB sights, AA rings for pretty much everything and every ammo type for barrel sight and real sight positions. It’s all in the link: WT Live // Sight by Minedeployder
It may make your game take an extra bit to load, but it is amazing and has sights that allow range estimation and whatnot for specific ammo types.
I just wanna say it took forever for me to find, and I had to sift through all the weebery on WT live…

Thank you very much for this. I will need to be giving this a try soon.
And yes, there are too many sights featuring “random half-naked anime girl” or “LET THE HAND OF STALIN GUIDE YOUR SHOT” KV-2 sights.
There’s also the problem that the Ostwind 2 is far more powerful than any SPAA other nations get, and even without it Germany still has the wirbelwind which is extremely strong.
Not like it really matters, Wirbelwind or Ostwind are barely any different, the Wirbel is a better SPAA anyways
@GoneToTheAether, @ZendikarHaven here are some screenshots for the M-42 Duster of the sight from the pack. One is zoomed out and one is zoomed in perspective.
They at a minimum give reference points to be able to walk in your shots, and when learned how to properly be used could give much more accurate range/speed estimates.
I honestly wish Gaijin would permanently implement most of the sights in this pack into game. I feel it would greatly improve everyone’s experience and encourage better play. The work is already there too.

Ostwind 2’s turret armor is impenetrable to 20mm and .50cals and its 30mm has a higher chance to 1-shot when it hits wings/tails of large bombers.
Simply put, it’s far more annoying to fight, and there’s no reason to keep it in the game.
Nah, it’s a very good SPAA. Plus it’s mentioned a prototype existed in a book.
Removing the M247 immediately then.
They are capable of shooting down planes.
WZ305 is arguably the most effective spaa at its tier.
M53/59 is better in pretty much every way.
It isn’t, and you can MG the gunner from the front with 7.62s.
It’s a 37mm, and it has a shitload of explosives.

Only for American players who shouldn’t have access to .50s and such in the first place, for everyone else it’s just a Panzer IV but several BRs higher.
Not nearly to the affect of any other Anti Airs in game (the M19 and also including the other 40mm Bofors machines without radar or HE-VT). They are slow and hard to aim, partially because of server issues but also because of sighting and all that.

yeah that’s my point
Cope moment.
cost of 70 rp (literally free).
no need to pay for AP and AA tapes.
lack of attachment to weather conditions - where the pilot has clouds in full screen,spaa player sees everything clear
increased survivability of all spas
increased damage to aircraft
reduced damage from aircraft cannons
ability to repair at any time in an open field
ability to take a backup at any time
Many spaa’s brs are too low
Visibility system
ability to be universal - destroy both tanks and air
buddy, go to the techtrees, literally every spaa is strong - against tanks or air, and sometimes against both)
i played enough on anti air and planes to come to my conclusion.
proves nothing.
Like most of air has with 20mm and 12.7mm on lower tiers right?
Because when I play ground battles with ground units, all clouds just disappear, same with snow.
Especially after overpressure was added so all open-tops die from a bomb/rocket that didn’t hit them while aircraft has to be hit.
Anything to back it up?
again, anything to back it up?
While enemies are nearby and You have no AI protecting You.
If You have one.
Which ones?
lmao what?
Only some has that ability, not most.
From WT page about Your account:
Ground battles in SPAA: 509
Should we talk about how well You played them?
