Re: Few easy questions
I think some things may have changed from what I used to remember, but the numbers work something like this:
Vision - This is the minimum number of hexes you can see, regardless of weather conditions. So, for your 2 tanks, even if it's night, and visibility is, say, 10, your T-55s could still see 20 hexes away, while the Centurion could only see 10 hexes (depending on terrain and smoke, of course). As the manual says, vision of 40 or more can see through smoke as well.
Stabiliser - I think this used to be the number of hexes you could move before your accuracy started to suffer, or maybe the number of hexes you could move before your accuracy dropped a step, but either way, it's a measure of how quickly your accuracy drops off as you move. Higher is better, again.
Fire Control - This increases your accuracy, especially at longer ranges. Per the manual, this especially helps with moving targets. A long time ago, I think the formula for how FC helped was 5 times the FC value was added to your chance to hit, but I don't know how they might have changed the formula since.
Range Finger - Like Fire Control, this helps increase accuracy at range. They say a range finder of 14 or up is a laser rangefinder.
So, basically, the tanks work well in different situations; the Centurion works better firing from fixed, stationary positions at moving targets, while the T-55 is a bit better at firing while moving and assaulting, which matches the battle philosophies of both sides.
