Hmm a bit odd.
Still why would you use it in air RB.
It only has value in SIM or GRB.
In mouse aim the rudder issue makes it impossible to aim.
Unfortunately I cant find any data on this really, but I do know for certain based off documents that the Challenger 1’s turret is 20,300kg
The Challenger is overall around 6 tonnes heavier than the Chieftain 900, I’d estimate the turret is a bit below 20 tonnes on it’s own, but that’s just an estimate unfortunately.
Considering the same turret drive on the Vickers Mk.7 can achieve 40 degrees/s, I imagine the weight wouldn’t be a huge issue.

Now I’m even more surprised the Premium was GBT155, and not just a premium AS90 with the long-boi Braveheart gun

For anyone who missed it, Oxy said it should get a 4.3 second reload for the first 3 shots, honestly it sounds quite fun if that is the case

The AS90 also has a 40kph reverse speed which is great

No proxy l15 is sad
Yeah just noted that, did it have the same proxy fuse type as the M107 IRL? If so would be good to be ready to report.
If not, oh well, 2 rounds like ye olde days, at least the RoF will be fine.

Does that exist irl?
Fuzes are a separate part screwed in to the nose of the shell. They’re interchangeable between L15, L21, M107 etc.
In the UK we generally use L21 HE (UK-made M107, IIRC with an IM-compliant filler lately) on UK ranges, and L15 HE is reserved as war shot
From the 1980s to ~2010, typical UK Fuzes for FH70 and AS90 included:
- L106 and L160 Percussion Direct Action and Graze
- L116 Multi Role Fuze (MRF - Proximity and Percussion modes)
- L92 Mechanical Time Fuze (MTF)
- L132 Electronic Time Fuze (ETF)
MRF an ETF used Fuze Setter Electronic to select modes and delay times.
The time fuzes were mainly for pyrotechnics like SMK (DM105) and ILLUM (DM106) but can be used with HE.
Ed:- apparently the current set of fuzes are
- L174 Percussion Direct Action and Graze
- L166 Multi-Option Fuse for Artillery (MOFA - Proximity, Percussion, Delay, and Time modes)
- L163 Electronic Time Fuze
We use all these fuzes on both 155mm and 105mm shells. Emphasising that they really are interchangeable between ammunition.
if we can prove that to gaijin i guess we could see it
There’s a ticket for Japanese use of L15 with a proxy fz

we need to push that issue hard then
i don’t want to mix and match worse and better HEs if possible
Great, having proxy on such a huge shell would be amazing
Is there a way to let the devs know without making a new report?
ping Smin about it to ask about it maybe
no way its staying at 7.0
Once the dev server starts I’ll see if i can
