[0917] M1A1 tank driver cant see main gun fire

[CallousDisregard]

Is this related to the problem with long range fire from the attack helos not showing any explosions ?
If an Apache hits you from beyond visual range often you will hear and see nothing, you just die.

since heavy vehicle combat (tanks, apc's, ifv's) is such important part of PR gameplay, shouldnt this be an imprtant bug to fix (high priority)?

I HAD to make an account JUST to comment on this. it was too funny. I'm sitting here trying to find info on M1A1/A2 survivability... and I stumble on this. I could not comprehend HOW the driver wouldn't know a round had been fired or WHY a driver would be issuing fire commands. lmao. And then someone talked about shooting a LAV with a BTR and lets just say by that point I was incredibly confused why a guy from the UK was shooting a LAV with a BTR... THEN I realized this was a game and not a bunch of guys having problems with their tanks...

Anyways. In real life, the gunner yells "ON THE WAY" every time he shoots. and it's really loud too. and the TC has to designate/verify all targets. "GUNNER SABOT TANK DESIGNATE" "IDENTIFIED, RANGE 1200 METERS" "FIRE AND ADJUST" "ON THE WAY....TARGET! (that means he hit it)

If you aint cav you aint shit!

Lol his post went over all your heads much? Its not a game realeted post (ish) just he thought we were real life tank gunner's

I can see how this forum could be misstaken for a real military forum
at a glance.This mod try's its best to be realistic so alot of real info is thrown around coupled with the fact that alot of member's are serving or have served it completes the illusion.

The fact that you was fooled for so long says to me its doing a good job


P.S if you like your FPS's with more tactic's than the average mainstream title you should give PR a try

As someone that ended up as an NCO tank commander on the M1A1. The game is supposed to reflect reality yet hard to do. In reality you can doggone well tell when the main gun fires in the tank. As far as the rest I give my old Cav brothers from the 3/3 ACR a salute and proudly say... "Brave Rifles" (Even with the CVC on you in the driver's spot can hear when the expended cap hits the turret floor... if you are as aware as you should be when you life depends on it.) Sgt Mora and Sgt Green. If you ever see this... Corporal Cucksee (yeah that's right Army Corporal hard striped) loves you and your families. Again... "BRAVE RIFLES!"

Stumbled upon this thread and thought I'd mention I too have this problem. Can lead to miscommunication with your crewmember when you dont know if he has fired or not. Perhaps a quickfix would be to add some kind of indicator to the HUD when the main gun is fired? or display main gun ammo count for the driver.

I dont only not see the gun firing but often I dont see an explosion and only see bodies flies.
