Yes, there’s diagrams showing the button to manual fire on the weapon.
This is Fox, but all RARDEN cannons are the same. Manual fire is point 9.
Also, when is Gaijin going to stop reducing turret traverse due to no power when the engine is damaged? These are manually traversed turrets.
My hero lmao if possible could you PM me some more of these DOCs about the RARDEN.
Nowhere in there is there a manually turned handle that is used to control the elevation and turret rotation of the gun, FCS isn’t just firing the gun its moving it as well. ill be surprised if you haven’t learned something today
It’s all manual. This is from the Sabre, which is similar to what Scimitar uses.
From the Scimitar:
I hope you learned something new too.
The entire turret on Scimitar is manual. Both traverse and elevation are by winding hand cranks attached to a gearbox
No electrical systems are used to lay the gun
The only versions of Scimitar with any kind of FCS are the late ones with BGTI or M-SPIRE (2005 and later) that have a cross reticle in the thermal imaging sight that deflects for calculated ballistic drop at range when a target is lased. The firing solution to line the deflected reticle up on the target however, is still laid manually by the gunner.
Some videos that show the deflecting cross in the thermals (and the thermal’s version of the fixed graticule mode)
The day sight is just an etched graticule pattern in all versions of Scimitar
Pls note this version with BGTI is NOT the version of Scimitar we have in War Thunder. The one we have in the game is an older version that only had a daysight and Image Intensifier (NV sight) with graticules to aim - no ballistic computer, no thermals, no laser rangefinder.
fair enough but are they electric gearboxes?
No, it’s a mechanical gearbox with no electrical assistance.
Various electric ones for turret traverse have been developed for export and trialled by the UK, but never installed in the British Army. Even so it would only be for coarse adjustment like the one on Warrior, not fine adjustment in aiming the gun. I’m not aware of any kind of electric elevation drive ever being developed.
it get a stabalizer?
No. Even where Scimitar and Warriors got stabilised sights for BGTI, the RARDEN wasn’t stabilised
then WTF? maybe FCS means damaged drive cranks?
Because that’s just the gun silly. Traverse isn’t attached to the gun.
Is it just me or does aluminum allow amours underperform in this game by a lot. I don’t see how a 7.62x51 AP is going through a 20mm thick plate of 7039 that’s sloped.
