US: finally some firepower with M109A1 at BR 6.3... with bad optics....

[Cabal]

Devs gave the US side the only serious firepower at BR 6.3 but didn't want to give it a bit of a zoom functionality?

Why do they care so much to keep up the German-OP'ness? They have everything to go through anyones door... and we are still left with friggin' complex math-equations to solve within seconds.

I agree the optics should be better. But there's many vehicles like that - especially artillery pieces.

However, Germany also recieved the same vehicle. So did many other nations. Your argument to add these optics says two things - you don't follow the ingame changes, with the recent uptiers of most of midtier German vehicles and second of all, it screams "skill issue" on your part.

Put som points into rangefinding and use that damn thing and stop whining. There's tutorials on how to do it, but simply put - you need to set your scroll wheel away from zooming and into changing the range of your gun. Then setup a hotkey for the rangefinder. Then put some XP points into rangefinding on your gunner. Done. Enjoy lobbing artillery shells 1000m away.

I have spaded three I think of these tanks now and they are just so fun to play and to be honest I think the optics are fine, I have a lot of experience in the game so I just eyeball 90% of the shots I take, a good old yeah this seems right then fire the gun type thing haha.

I did give you a good tip, though. Set your mousewheel to changing range and not zooming and try out the rangefinder with something like the KV-2, or even the new SPG.

I'll even google a good tutorial for you on how to do it, if you want. Oh by the way - I main Britain and Italy.

i didnt played it but i guess its the same as a Sturmtiger, use rangefinder>set distance>fire

german experience.

He's obviously not using it, so I'm giving him a solution to the crap optics 80% of tanks in this game have. Is that being a smartass? The game never explains it's basic functions - every better-ish player uses the scrollwheel to range.
