Can optics be damaged on tanks in Ro2?

[Zookerman]

If they can,I'd like to see a screenshot from the tank's point of view.

I believe that was one of the planned features, but I haven't seen any evidence of it in game.

I think you can't. Same as you can't (or at least i can't) take down the track. I tried with everything, he shells, ap shells, at nades, satchels, at rifles. Nothing. All you can do is to break the brakes.

Huh you can win achievements with damaging the tracks. But indeed
i haven`t seen it till now.

 

[Bluehawk]

The achievement might not be working, even if you do disable the track. The achievement for the exposed crewmember doesn't work for me.

my t-34 has been tracked, never seen it happen to a pnazer....figures

Once or twice gunsights on my tank became very blurry I thought it was damaged optics, but it probably was a bug.

While commanding a Panzer on FallenFighters, my tracks were taking out a couple of times... it is possible as I ended up rolling around in circles until I stopped.... and I did take out the tracks of another Panzer on Pavlov's House two days ago.

I've also popped a few commanders out of their turret..... I have yet to see the optics damaged. I heard before the beta release that the Devs said that the replacement of the optics would be automatic and you'd only have distorted vision for a few seconds and then the glass would be automatically replaced..... I'm just going from memory though and could be wrong.

I've experienced this as well. I tweaked my video settings and joined a Gumrak server to see how the game ran/looked, and I thought the blur had something to do with the settings. I knew it was unusually blurry, but I didn't realize how bad it was until the dark blob on the horizon started shooting at me .

I don't know if this is on topic, but I've had a few hits to the old tank and my optics were off by a few feet for the main turret. No blurriness or anything though.

I've noticed the same thing. Easy to destroy a track in RO1 than RO2. I seem to always suffer major gun damage than destroyed optics if I'm in a T-34.

The optics go off by like 30

 

[Branden]

The optics and treads can be broken. When I play the one tank map RO: 2 currently has I'm always aggravated when my treads get shot off. I can only move my tank in one direction.
Quite often in Pavlov's house when people throw the AT grenades at my turret often they break the optics and I can't rotate my turret. An anti-tank soldier shot the view point in my tank and I couldn't look through the view point. I'll get some screenies later

 

[Kukki]

You're talking about brake damage and turret ring damage. This happens quite often.

you can have the brakes shot out of each side ( affects steering )
