PZ 38 sites wrong for training

[thm000]

Since the HC was busy killing the server pop with softcaps I went on training and ran the tank simulation.

On the training sim there are targets placed at 200m, 500m and 1000m. If you set the PZ38 sites correctly your rounds will go flying over the targets

I had to set the gun site to 800m to correctly target and hit the 1000m target with AP ammo

I had to set the gun site to 250m to correctly target and hit the 500m target

The 200m target also needed a generous adjustment.

The position 4 machine gun hit the 1000m target when set to 700m. The 1000m setting flies over the trees above the 1000m target.

Then I spawned in Greven. Wound up killing a A13 at 1 KM distance in a couple of shots using what I learned from Training.

It has a nice and flat trajectory on that gun. Higher velocity than any other axis 37mm.

Maybe get this post moved to Bug Reports so that Gophur can ticket it...?

Are the sites calibrated for AP or HE rounds? Can't remember as it's a long time since I drove a 38T. Might want to check that.

38T gun sight is single scale.

I just checked offline at the inf and tank range and it's dead on.

Tank target range is no longer marked but the targets are 250/500/1000m.

Inf target range it was dead center at every distance (you will get dispersion on all guns so several shots each target).

When the beta is back up (and if I can get to A51) I can check the distances at both ranges. And I'll check the tutorial.

Just checked the tutorial, 38T gunsight is dead on in it as well.

... which is why you don't just act on the first thing you hear.

I checked the tutorial as well, the tank range is 200/500/1000m and the gunsight on the 38T is dead center on if adjusted for those ranges.

Yep Doc, trust but verify

yer a trooper !
