When I was a dismount I just wanted out of the back of that loud death coffin lol.

Multicrew isn’t included yet, but that should change in the future

Better late than never. Thanks for watching and for the tips.

There are nine elements in a fire command, three types of fire commands, and five categories of response terms for each in the current TC 3-20.31. Draft of the new manual is already out so that will probably change a little bit. Of course the current manual doesn’t apply to the period covered in GHPC.

@@mastergunner309 The hell they keep rewriting the TC for. No one reads it, except for the few that want to cheat. The fire commands from back then are almost the same as today. The difference between them and today is that we have MPAT and AMP for the 120. They haven't even added smoke or HEP for the 105 yet.

lol great question about the frequent rewrites lol. Job security I guess. You’ll probably recognize a lot more from the old days, like going back to table 8 kinda stuff. Wild. like some big crazy wheel.

@@mastergunner309 I was only in from 2016 to 2023 and only on SEP V2s. So the manual only got rewritten once. I only read it so that I could understand every little detail of the fire commands to understand who can say what and when. For the context of the game it doesn't really make any difference at all. For the game I would like to fire commands to be perfect. However I understand there is a limit. Attempting to remove all of the little things that don't really matter doesn't make sense from a time/money standpoint.

I think that’s our inner VCE that winces every time we hear something wrong in a fire command. Just part of our DNA I noticed that the commander doesn’t say fire for the Bradley fire command and it burns my biscuit every time I have to squeeze a trigger without a command of execution. Lol

Noted! I’m a noob when it comes to production. I may do that on a Fire commands 2.0 for the Bradley. Thanks for the input 👍

Early access game 😁

1200 is a good starting point. I think your eyeballs start telling you if you need to adjust further the more you see targets. The only time I adjust for shorter range is for 7.62mm targets. Leading targets def becomes more natural the more you do it. Range, target speed, and my speed are all going to play factors in where to lead it. I just always seem to start with that outer stadia line as my point of aim and the front of the vehicle kinda bracketed in the inner set. But again, going to depend on range. The main thing is get that steady lead along his plane of movement before you fire. And when you fire, keep tracking. Dont shoot and stop, shoot and keep tracking him until he dies. Thanks for watching.

I found ADA190698 on DTIC. Pp. 56-62 are the most useful, and suggest a 5-mil lead for APDS-T, which would be the outer ends of the double stadia lines, and 8.75 mils for HEI-T, i.e. the middle of the outer stadia lines. Though it's obviously a starting point, since the BMP-1 in the video required about 7 mils of lead. Interestingly, figure 15 shows the lead against a target moving at 32 km/h and at 90° requires a lead between 7 and 8 mils between 1,000 and 2,800m for APDS-T, so at least the aimpoint doesn't really change with distance.

You can check the map ingame to find out your average engagement distance in any given mission. The map is split into big 1x1 kilometer squares with a thick black outline and inside those are 100x100 meter squares. Check the map topography and before you drive over a hill that could reveal enemies behind it, check how many squares away it is and adjust your range accordingly. 1 big square + 8 small squares = 1800m away on average.

Yes, but whether you use battlesight is highly dependent on the type of round you've selected. Heat has way steeper parabola than a Sabot. Meaning, the margin for accuracy diminishes greatly as the distance increases compared with Sabot. Sabot has a much flatter trajectory, so you have a much more forgiving window if your off on the range.

….Or Bradley crews needed an auto loader cause they couldn’t figure out where the hole was.

You don’t think a Bradley could defeat a Cold War tank?

America has never killed a t 72.

M791 capable penetrate up to 90mm armor in close range, well enough for side armor on most MBT.

Look up Battle of 73 easting

Bradley’s killed more armor in Iraq than the tanks did……l

Good tip!

The Devs do need to fix the wayfinding for NPC aliies. It was great fun to watch your #2 try to back out of the woods he got stuck into.

i do a wedge formation.. sometimes they fire and score kills helping.

Lol I know. I’m horrible. The armor gods were not happy with that

​@@mastergunner309you also claimed that HEAT stands for High impact anti tank lol

In the actual missions in GHPC, taking any fire gives a strong sense of "I'm going to die soon". The voices quite accurately reflect the player mental state, imho.

@@konradha there's nothing immersive about an Abrams crew screaming in panic as a BRDM plinks at them.

You say that but you dont need to actually perforate the armour to disable a tank or make the crew bail out. A platoon of BMP-2s shooting their 30s at you neither sounds awesome inside, nor does it help destressing. Also all optics gonna be fucked so your awareness gets reduced to a minimum. One off the taactics already devised in WW2 to hinder tanks aat being effective was just shooting at it with whatever you have...the bigger and higher RPM the better but it doesnnt need to actually hurt the tank. Just stress the crew enough to effectively render the tank useless. Are you panicking because a single 14.5 is shooting at you? Probably not, but 20s, 30s by 2, 3, 4 different sources? hell yeah you would. Especially inside a tank because your individual situational awareness is already really low. Hence why shooting first, doesnt matter if you perforate the armour or not (or by that extension even directly hitting them, near misses are enough), is so important. A 125mm shooting at you and a corresponding Dart just hitting you is gonna be a loud (goodbye eardrums), shaky and extremely stressing situation...and getting accurate return fire from that is most of the time nil.

@@tramachi7027Literally spot on I couldn’t have explained it better

@@CrowDawg11 Certified Warthunder brain

U were up there killing convoys way before we got there!

Brandon Pye I’m efficient. 😁. You can see my name up in the chat window every so often when I made a kill.

Hit me up the next time you are on. DM me in discord if you like. It really takes coordination to push East through those SAMs.

@@mastergunner309 Count on it! I've been loving the chopper action since Casmo got me into it!

@@mastergunner309 Er...what's your name on Discord? :)

how do these servers work do you fight ai only, are they always in the same places ?

@@Johnwilkinsonofficial There are two servers, one is Persian Gulf the other is Syria. Yes the enemies are AI (near peer) and are broadly speaking in the same places, but there's a lot of them.
