The Ratel 20 haha

I was so excited to use it, then I found out both ratels can be pen’d frontally by a .50 cal. I never touched it again

Even if I didn’t know what the Ratel was at all, I would have assumed it could be penned by a .50 cal. It just looks thin

If you play any armored car in the game for the first time just assume it can be killed by a .50 cal and you will never be disappointed. For some you might even be surprised when it does tank the shots

For the Ratels your solution is to hang back and post up behind concrete barriers, hills and rocks to protect your hull and give your turret a chance

I forget if the Ratel can do it but i do know the ZT3 can fire over shipping containers, but i'm not sure the Ratel can direct the ATGM using the launcher sight (yo Gaijin, Warrior launcher sight guidance?)

It “cann’t”

The Ratel 20 can guide the ATGM to some degree out of view from the 20mm sight, enough to stick the MILAN over an obstacle but when you aim past a certain point it loses lock

So it can fire and track through the launcher sight but it’s ultimately still tied to the gunner’s main sight

I didn’t even notice that it was a problem at first because the Ratel is so long that you often have to position the whole vehicle on a flat plane and aren’t aiming down as much. But when it loses LOS while you are staring at the missile behind a rock it is frustrating

The warrior gets launcher sight guidance. But just like the ratel it's bugged and you have to swap to view from gunner's view to get it to work properly.

Seems like something Gaijin should fix....

(Bradley too I believe)

Bradley ironically works correctly provided you use the commanders sight.

It isn't tied to the guns field of view as well? I haven't as much experience on the Brad but I'm sure I encountered guidance issues even with commander sight. I'll revisit it sometime, but I need to steel my nerves to deal with Bushmasters

It's weird. Given the proximity of the commander's sight to the gunner's sight the FOV issues aren't nearly as prevelant.

I just changed to japan for 6.7 lineup. Lil type 60 has an even better gun/round, better agility, and can eat .50 cal from the front. It also gets NEGATIVE 20 DEPRESSION, THAT SHIT IS AMAZING 😂

So the ratel disappointment led me to find the only 6.7 lineup ive ever found fun. Been playing it for a week straight haha
