9 seconds, when the average abrams loader does it in around 5...

Invader, there is no entirely different discussion ;). The T-80 uses a spool shaped steel sabot with tungsten core, BM-42, while M1a2, correct, uses a traditionally shaped entirely DU M829A3 sabot. The BM-42 is a well designed round, but the problem with it simply goes too fast, meaning it works well against thin armor and somewhat thick armor at a 90 degree angle, but even against thick, slightly sloped armor, performance drops dramatically. Also, if the tank is moving, with the stabilization system active, the loader can have a tough time loading the gun, because the gun is elevating constantly to stay stabilized in relation to the earth. Fortunately, the designers foresaw this, and the loader has a switch he can activate that returns the gun, not the sight, to 0 degrees elevation for easy loading, however, the switch is not activated under normal circumstances.

Excellent analysis Invader zim. I would also like to add that since the T-80 doesn't have thermal optics, the range of engagement for the refleks can go down, due to something like fog or other factors. The M1A2 could take advantage of this and get in a shot at 5000m, the stated max range of the ballistic computer before the T-80 knew anything was amiss. I would also lke to clear up some misconceptions about ammunition. Some believe that firepower lies in the main gun. This is true to an extent, but there is something else, more glaringly obvious, that is the main factor when considering firepower. That would be the round itself. The shape of the round, the weight of the round, the "flexibility" ( when particularly thin, weak sabots bend midflight ) of the round all influence this. For example, why is the M829a3 so effective against ERA? ( invader talked about this ) It's because that it travels slower than some of its counterparts, therefore it doesn't detonate ERA, and the study build that provides that slow speed has less of a chance to "snap" into two against sloped armor.

Use the long range of the maverick missile, and if you're a real cheater like me ;), go to the f10 map view, get the coordinates of the SAM, punch them in, and have fun. For everything else, as dejjvid said, grab it by the sensitive parts ;)

Excellent, maybe you could use this as an opportunity to implement an accurate FCS.

By the way ED, excellent customer service.

Excellent. Is it possible to put a Fire control system in along with that primary sight, or is it too tough for a mod?

Ok, clearing out the temp folder and setting to LAN works, but only extends my time from one minute to ten. Even if it did work, I don't want to keep on doing that, what if there is something I need in there?

I hope ED is spending their time ignoring us fixing he problem.

Tried deleting temp files, still doesn't work. Nothing works Is there something in Lua I can edit.

WTH, nothing works, come the heck on, what is up!!!!!!!!!!! I was playing Arma2 multiplayer, works, SB multiplayer, works, why the heck doesn't this work, this is getting increadibly annoying!

Pyroflash, what is your FPS in world?

Nope, cleaning out the modem doesnt work, however, I found a windows temp file, just cleaned that out and I'm going to see how that goes.

I've also had the issue in A-10 and Su-25, so it is not "Ground units"

I'll try clearing out my temp folder and the router thingy, see if either of them or both of them work. Hmm... My computer temp folder is empty, and I cant find the other.

Hello ED, how do we fix this? Is there a hotfix coming or is there something embedded within the file system that we can change around so this doesn't happen? I am darn sure it is nto my connection, I already checked that.

Oh I get it

How can I fix the "Connection interrupted" issue?

Im sorry, but what does this do?

Hmm no, LAN doesn't work for me, will try other connection settings.

This might have something to do with not having CA or Ka-50...

This is rediculous, I cannot get onto even a single online server for a period of more than five minutes.

come on ed..

I'm getting this as well, please tell us what it is, it is frustrating not to be able to play with friends online... Come on, there must be some sort of fix coming out for this...

Hmm.. Ok, seems like a processor upgrade would void my warranty, so I'll go with a GPU upgrade, probably make it a GTX 570, ( I'm tired of AMD's overhyped graphics cards ). Anybody knows how that works with DCS? I am capable of getting better, I just want to know if 40+ fps is available in World with a GTX 570, 12 gb RAM @1333mhz, and i7 2600 @ 3.4 ghz. Also, should I go for the "HD" version of the card, or just the "plain" card @ 1280 mb of memory?
