well the fact the said equipment pretty much does everything and M1's/Leo-2 FCS about 5+ years before they were introduced might have something to do with it. From the posters on tanknet, they said it worked quite well. Thus the conclusion.

Also, I thought the FCS mainly dealt with engaging moving targets. While other values dealt with overall accuracy (gun accuracy value)

Ok thats a nice synopsis/set of opinions. But none of it has to do much with FCS. Turret traverse/stabilization is certainly usable for tracking a target with soviet tanks (though rapidle turining the turret to a new threat might be slower, but this isn't modeled at all in game), and I really doubt SPMBT models the issue of moving over rough terrain having any impact on stabilization. Also Thermals/spotting is covered by the vision attribute, and I would like to point out most later soviet tanks of this period had passive Image intesification, not active IR (The IR spotlights were supplemental)
