Interesting...I just started using that tactic last night (fighting the Tiger as one would a StuG). Definitely makes up for the poor turret slew rate.

I seem to have a relatively good hit rate, I wouldn't say I hit 95% of the time with my 1st shot, but I hit a good deal of the time, and if not, I just either raise or lower the gun as appropriate.

You should have a Map folder under your RO:OST folder; just pop the .ROM file in there. Then run your machine as a Listen Server.
If you are connected to the ISP when you do this, other people can join the map you're running. I was suprised when my "targets" started firing back at me!!!!
PiTiFUL said:I am just learning my armour gunnery in RO. I am using the set range method. The advantges I see to this are, one, you can be in a turret down situation see your target through binoculars and get the range, set range on gun, move to turret up, aim, fire. My estimation of ranging needs work but if you can get the right range it is a first shot hit everytime. Two, as someone already mentioned if your range is dialed in, you can pop out of cover fire, hide, repeat and hit every time.
I have a question about ranging in a T-34, is it just me or is the T-34 range system wacked. It seems to me that anything under 500m and the sights should be set to 0, and then incremental from there, so if want to hit something at say 700m you would just set the sight to 200m. I had been playing as axis for awile then found myself on the russian side(in a T-34), I was setting my sights the same as I would have in a panzer4 and the shots were going way over the target.
Recce said:Are you talking about the T-34/76 or T-34/85. Because the first is an un-linked sight and the 2nd is a linked sight.
