You can’t add the most absurd safety features to a Leopard and screw it over on one end, and on the other just disregard real world performance and make up numbers.
Gaijin has gotten way to comfortable manipulating things based on their idea for the game and neglecting their real world performance to a point where what they ‘‘believe’’ and ‘‘think’’ is outweighing official documentation.
And now if they disagree it’s ‘‘a clear marketing lie’’ but lets apply that to Russian propaganda material of course.
The Bundeswehr and the Italian Army all uses manual overrides,there are some videos showing the gunner operating it manually,it’s called a Redundancy System ;)
And to tell you the truth, the PZH can even shoot faster. The figures we find date from the test of 1997 I believe.
But it depends on the conditions. For example, after a burst of 3 shots, you must wait for the gun to cool down, otherwise the rate of fire will be significantly impacted.
Fuel got reduced from 6:20 min to 4:00 for the me163s.
I dont have the ki-200 but It got changed aswell and it only had 4 min to begin with. Might now be even lower.
Wouldnt be that bad if it would be similar to the BI which has less trust but for some reason much better climbrate or they added the me263 with more fuel
It’s still an unstabilized tank with 2 degrees of gun depression and awful gun handling. It has a 7.8s base reload for the first couple of shells only, then it’s reload speed tanks drastically (~13s base).
The whole premise of VIDAR being good lies in it’s LRF paired with thermals while going against unstabilized tanks with no LRF. At 8.7 most of that will disappear making it a niche pick at the very best.
