@Bird_Dog00 Well the APFSDS rounds have a pretty flat ballistic arc. Effectively out to about 1,500m and more the rounds travel flat. Anyway "Waste of Time" and "War Chunder" have absolutely minimal linkages to reality. 500m is nothing for a tank engagement. Its driven by the game's map design limitations, not reality.

@marseldagistani1989 Personally I hope they are held accountable. They are both terrible "simulation" products.

Even with overpressure / NBC system you wear your MOPP gear. The seal is compromised every time you fire or open a hatch.

@gandydancer9710 Just stop for a moment. Normally you don't wear it, you have it stowed (the suits have charcoal and other materials with a finite life). Then when you are told to put it on, you put it on. If you are lucky you are off the tank when you are told. If you are unlucky you are told whilst you are in the tank and its moving (his area of concern). Then once you have it on, it stays on until you are told over the radio to reduce your MOPP status (i.e. drop from MOPP 4 to MOPP 2). Having been at MOPP 4 for 3 weeks, in a tank, I have personal experience of wearing the kit.

@gandydancer9710 I just provided you with a bigger picture understanding so you could realise that my comments and Chieftain's were not opposed. If you don't get that I can't help you.

Most UAS have sights that have GPS , TI, etc. so the sight will give the operator and 8 (or 10) figure and probably a data link back to the artillery battery for the PGM to be fired.

@markfryer9880 This was at Mount Bundey, NT. We burnt them.

@squashiejoshie200000 A real simulation product has maps that are say 15km x 15km (or larger) and don't use ranks / levels whatever. War Chunder's "simulation" mode, whilst better than "Waste of Time" should just be renamed "hard arcade". Things like DCS and Steel Beasts are simulations, not these two junk products.

@Lurking Carrier Pretty sure both WOT and WT have the word "simulation" or "realistic" on their web sites. War Thunder: "collaborate in realistic competitive battles."

@gooberone Um yes it is. Here in Australia the publisher of such documents is just as responsible / liable as the "leaker".

@corneliusmcmuffin3256 I'm well aware. We train for engagements from effectively 0m (coax, canister, etc.) out to 3,500m+ with APFSDS. A 15km x 15km map however allows you to manouevre prior to the fight. Having a map that is less than 1km x 1km is less than my M1 boresights (the process used to zero the gun) at. Even our old Leopard 1A3s (which are allegedly "modeled"in both products) boresighted at 1,000m, so thinking 400m is a long range shot is nonsense (at that range its just point and shoot, no laser range finder or any aides at all). Let alone this idea of numerous hits to destroy a tank.
