M60A3 Laser Range finder doesnt work for APFSDS rounds

[The_Tau]

it works only for HE rounds

 

Is it intended?

Its an age old .... gimmick might be the correct word here, that's present on most tanks. Game has a set max range for AP rounds - usually around 3200meters for most MBTs (2500m for M60).

The Abrams also used to be a victim of this gimmick, but it got quietly fixed. The Chinese MBT, subsequently, as an Abrams copy, within DCS, also works similarly to the abrams.

 

There was a thread about this somewhere, with the typical answer of... ugh, do you have proof, that the FCS can actually calculate for such a range, hurrr durr.

 

I am sure the Challenger 1 which hit a T-55 from 5000meters was actually just blind luck and kentuchy windage, the gunner probably visually aimed the gun by looking out the hatch.
