How do tanks aim?

In the conventional design, a spur gear in the hull (called the traverse gear) engages an internal gear lining the inside of the turret. Turning the traverse gear rotates the turret on the hull, allowing the tank crew to aim the main gun without turning the entire tank. The crew can also pivot the main gun up and down.

How do you do a vertical takeoff in War Thunder?

The final way is to take-off vertically. To do this vector your nozzles to an appropriate angle (85-92% on the harrier, 100% on the Yak-38), then increase thrust until the aircraft begins climbing (avoid using WEP if you can as you only have a limited supply of it).

How do modern tanks aim?

Modern tanks often use a simple toggle to selection which weapon to fire. Those two wheels are for elevation and traverse of the gun, and you can see the gun sight the gunner would aim down. That rectangle to the right of the sight is the periscope, so the gunner can maintain a view outside the tank.

How far does a tank shoot?

The tank cannon has a maximum effective range of about 3000 meters, and precise aim is required to make a hit. The self-guided missile, however, can — like Longbow Hellfire — be effective to more than 8000 meters, and the electronic brain continually corrects the flight path as necessary.

What is a tanks weak spot?

Apart from side and rear armor, most vehicles have common weak spots: the lower glacis plate, the commander’s cupola, and the top surface of the turret.

How does Warwar Thunder work?

War Thunder utilises specific damage values and modules for every tank. Crew positions, ammo racks, fuel tanks and just about anything you’d expect to be important in an actual tank are the objects you’ll want to be hitting if you want to get some kills under your belt.

Can you turn tanks inside out in War Thunder?

Keep in mind that some tanks have uses outside of their historical and intended role, so if you see someone turning tanks inside out with an AA vehicle like the T17E2, don’t be deterred from experimenting with it yourself. It used to be the case in War Thunder that ramming was a genuinely effective tactic… in aerial battles.

What are gunners sights used for in War Thunder?

One of the main uses is to get a few extra degrees of gun depression by lowering the front of your tank. By default every tank in the game has the same universal gunners sight. If you desire you can find more sights from the War Thunder Live site.

When should you stay up or down in War Thunder?

As a general rule of thumb, doing so early on into your War Thunder career will get you killed. Tank turrets can generally raise more than they can lower, and being up high reveals your tank’s most vulnerable areas for all to target. Staying hull down is the practice of keeping the bulk of one’s tank behind cover while leaving the turret exposed.
