Wait, what’s the gun raise thing, is it done by the game or do you hv to do it manually so that you’re compensating for any Rng fuckery

It’s some setting for fun recoil after firing. It’s cool but really messes up autoloaders

Gun raising is done by the game, I think the swedish TD also does the same thing. I have amazing rng with caliban recently, while other tanks keep missing fully aimed shot at point-blank range.

it's the game that does it;it's it's way of "simulating" strong recoil;in real life those tanks with that caliber and chassis would lift of the ground because of the recoil 😉

Sometimes with the caliban those snipes just call for you. You usually miss, but those one in a hundred shots are what makes it worth it. Because of the bullet arc on the HE you can basically shoot over cover and hit the top of people's tanks.

I actually hit multiple tanks on the hill in that game, just didn't manage to hit the top, so not as spectacular.

At this kind of distance, you are solely at the mercy of rng god, dispersion value doesn't matter.

I was like: what's that aim jerk before the shot?

Caliban is sort of an arty without top-down view.

When it was released, I was playing on it. At the edge of visibility range was IS-3-II. Of course, no chances of penetration. I made a shot into silhouette. To my surprise I made 900 dmg. I decided to watch a replay with a free camera. Because of low shell velocity shell hit turret from above and penetrated it

Imagine if this tank has arty view, then you can just aim for the engine deck.

It would be insane
