Fallout Re: Turret Question and game question

As I've read this and not to belabor the point, lets not forget tank turrets can be manually operated as well. Obviously a slower process, but it can be done.

Just another set of complications such as how do you access turret damage to allow for or disable such an option, at how many degrees can it be turned in a TURN to engage a target. How fast can the crew turn it? Might have to base that on crew EXPRIENCE I would think!?!

It just keeps on "Snow Balling" into infinitive.

I'm with Andy, though better nowadays, go get a flight sim or some such!!

I leave you with the U.S. Patent for a manual turret device for the M1A1 ABRAMS, so get "CRANKING" you "Rivet Counters"
https://patents.google.com/patent/US4867037A/en

Would this be a good time to ask again about helicopters being able to "auto rotate" and land instead of always just crashing!?!

For the record and in light of full disclosure as some might remember, that was my "rivet counter" suggestion a few years back.

But this was a good topic question.

Regards,
Pat
