Force realistic sights in RB

[Scheneighnay]

Right now the default gun sight setting puts the camera on the end of your barrel instead of in your actual optics.

Forcing players to use realistic sights would
+Reduce the exploit allowing players to fire through walls by clipping their barrel through it
+Change how bush decorators are used, as players need to be mindful of not blocking their optics.
+/- add a new level of pros and cons to each vehicle
-make RB somewhat more difficult to learn

Also as I've used these sights for as long as they've been available, I'd like to be able to adjust the range they're set to before battle, so I don't have to over adjust at close range.

I think im missing here something, but since i have WT i never changed the deafults of any camera and since start i always had the defult sight to to be realistic gunner sight position.
What is this barrel sight? where do i turn it on?

barrel sight is the default as far as I'm aware.

Instead of the player's gunner view coming from the gunner's sight, it comes from the end of the barrel.
So if you can't see your barrel while in gunner view, you have the barrel sight.

I think the big pain is not learning where the gun is, but learning where it is for the 100-something tanks I've got unlocked

Yes? This thread is about RB

they wont impliment SB mechanics for RB, not even the maps.

"SB mechanics" is too broad of a term to be relevant.

SB "playstyle" in other words
-big maps
-restrictive views
-no markers
-actual team communication

The implementation of the SB is very poor
in reality, tanks had infantry units to walk ahead of them and scout for enemy units
then radio back if they find any targets
Tanks by nature have very poor sight, they are poor scouts and while they can scout, usually its only the light tanks or utility that actually did that

we dont have that in game, except light tanks but they are very limited, maybe you will have 2 of them in a team and even then they usually fail to spot most ambushers.

As a result SB is painfully slow, as tank commanders are forced to scout using their extremley limited options, or risk and avoid coverage while rushing forward

if only you could place permanent enemy markers on the map that die when your tank dies
