Put range finder on tank gunner hud
Posted: 2008-01-26 17:24
Since the tank driver has a range finder now, it makes it really great, when spotting something and need to know the distance to it.
However, it's pretty useless, because saying to your gunner "Enemy infantry, bearing 220, 400 meters" just confuses the gunner, as he does not have a range finder and can only guess the distance or zoom out and look for a few little dots, then zoom in to shoot them in the face.
While it's pretty pointless on Kashan, since it's all plain open desert, this addition would be great on Qinling, Zatar and Basrah, where saying "Enemy spotted, bearing 350" usually needs something like "between the two houses" or "by the tree" *looks at a forest*
, since when looking in that direction, there's tons of stuff between the tank and the fog on the other end.
So please give the tank gunner a range finder.
