M1A1 Gunnery in ArmA

Shooting up various targets with my MBT gun ballistics and fire control systems mod, available here:

This works more or less like the real deal, except that the reticle is only correct at maximum magnification.

...those are not correct engagement techniques

[NonWonderDog]

Hey, I'm not a tanker. Anyway, I was more concerned with showing how the reticle slews around than showing engagement techniques. I wrote the mod, after all, not FM 3-20.12.

great mod, amazing! btw. i've noticed the crackling and poping noise in your game, do u have a x-fi installed? I hear the noise in my game too:( or is it caused by the CSM?

[NonWonderDog]

Do you mean the crickets? I always assumed they were crickets.

I've got a Turtle Beach sound card, not an X-Fi. I don't get along much with Creative.

uhm sorry, but why is the reticle moving off the center of the screen? is that a simulation of the computer assist mode or something?

[NonWonderDog]

The reticle slews around because General Dynamics was too cheap to put a two-axis headmirror in the M1A1. As a result, the sights always point in the same direction (laterally) as the gun. In order to apply automatic lead, the reticle moves. That's how it works in a real M1A1.

This was changed in the M1A2, which has a two-axis headmirror and a fixed reticle.

0:34 nice shoot

i have NWD FCS and hope for next versions with gunners auxlary sight, and TC vievable GPS, and also FCS for SmurfC converted M2a2

[ResiusOnline]

Is there going to be one for Arma 2?

[Breakerchase]

ACE2 needs this for the M1A1

Other games with modern tanks need to clone Steel Beasts' FCS and gunery systems

[CrzayMazy]

It would rock to have this mod for ArmA2.

The is Abrams

[dejawolf]

[FROSTYBREWS101]

[moicced]

Hey dog, do you plan to fit your addon for the ACE mod ?

This mod is awsome, it now needs you ;)
