Default Re: Rangefinder values how are they determined?

Hi Nox
Well I think there is a 1:1 relationship here, or there should be, because we have for the gun,
Accuracy, reflects the flatness of the guns trajectory ie this should correlate closely with the weapons muzzle velocity.
then the vehicle has
Fire control, this is the gun sight and should correlate with the sights magnification, field of view might also be considered.
Rangefinder, this is for a rangefinder surely?
Stabiliser, this is for a stabiliser, A few american tanks had this
So what factor do you think might be included into the rangefinder value here other than the presence and quality of a rangefinder?

Also it appears that in v6 and prior SPCAMO agreed with me, ie all the shermans had a range finder value of 2 However after v6 the shermans get the higher range finder values, ie threes, fives and sixes. For instance in v6 unit 135 in the USA OOB, M4A3 (76) used to have a range finder value of 2 now it is 5. The lower value of 2 agrees with my thinking. I would be interested to know what the reasoning was behind this change?

Regards your last comment my point is that the sf14 can see better, much better than binoculars at 2 kilometers. Hence I believe the sf14 should delever a higher range finder value.
Best regards Chuck.
