On the tank sights it tells you the distance of what you're looking at. Is that just for developmental purposes or will that be in the finished product?
If you go an look in ideas an suggestions I do believe you will find some pictures of tank sights (at list the panzer one) that match those exactly. I suspect that the range counter you see there is actually synched with how far up the barrel is (simulating the crank needed to aim at range which would be indecated on the sight). Overall it is much closer to how they would have looked in real life.^Dee^ said:Looking good but one thing that bothered me.

I don't see what you're pointing to.Yoshiro said:It does no such thing. Look closely at those sights, then at the numbers again. Then I think you will understand why there are there.
What he's saying (I believe) is that the number indicates what range the sights are currently CALIBRATED at. You can change the number up and down regardless of the actual range, which adjusts the sight up and down to compensate for shell drop. You use the center triangles to estimate the target range.^Dee^ said:I don't see what you're pointing to.
If you're talking about the number on the right being a simplified version of what's supposed to be shown on the sights, I would again have to ask if that will be removed for full version.

I have to say, that's frickin awesome...
Yes, I understand this. I'm asking why there is a random "300 metres" and "700 meters" floating at the side.FYROM said:What he's saying (I believe) is that the number indicates what range the sights are currently CALIBRATED at.

Seems rather uncharaceristic for RO =/
Mormegil said:Fyrom, could you check my math? Is that T34 at about 50 meters?
I estimate it to be about 60 mils (60 meters at 1000m). The T34 is about 3 meters wide. 60 meters being 20x 3 meters, so 1/20 of 1000m = 50 m.
Am I doing this right?
FYROM said:Gah! You're going to make me do math!? Guess I need to keep my drafting skills in practice...
OK, the IS-2 is ~3 meters across according to google...
Break out the engineers scale, the "4 strich" triangle is 1/10" across...
The front of the tank is 5.5" across...
(3/55)*1000 = 54.5 meters
So yeah, about 50 meters. Good eye there
