Hull machine gunners?

They only implemented it for Japanese tanks because the Japanese tanks are the only tanks with hull MGs modeled in War Thunder so they could just steal the models.

Im pretty sure you didnt. But nice try man, you should try harder next time

Man you ok? You are getting awfully aggressive at a video game. I would like to recommend going outside and touching grass.

AYYOOOOOOOOOO LMFAO
I knew I beat your ass, you were the HVAR spammer that I had to teach a lesson while carrying my team. Very SAD performance my man.

This is but one, the Chieftain source or post linked above doe snot say how many were trained from mid 44 on, no % is given, your just assuming the were all trained, even if they were which I obviously doubt, that still means basically all the crews in Europe and Italy apart from the very few that were noted as having made some use of the stabilizer were not.

All the books I have one the subject basically say the same thing as the one above, it was by far and large not used.

So… what would pass for Normal, was a US tank not using it’s stabilizer in the war.

But, this means nothing in Enlisted, a game where I can kill tanks with strafing runs with a 20 mm MG FF , and an MG 131 is the modeled German HMG ffs.

there is only Hull Mg gunner in Japanese tank , in Allied tank specially the Sherman the MG gunner gotta pop his head out and shoot with Tracer round , no sight , idk about Germany tank tho , but Only Japs tank bolted a Sniper rifle sight on their Hull MG

Armored Thunderbolt by Zadalga says otherwise, at least in relation to Overlord. However, even Zadalga’s concession still admits that it was still in use in units well into the closing stages of the war.

All my sources say that the training was relatively commonplace for experienced crews, and that they were used. The primary sources all demonstrate that complaints about the stabilizers stopped once the trainings were put in place at least for the Sherman, and the secondary ones don’t exactly have a consensus as to how troops used the stabilizers, but all agree that it was used in a notable number.
Your source also talks about the Stuart which I cannot comment on, as I haven’t looked into that, but It’s probably safe to assume that it’s in a similar boat to the Sherman, except that crew didn’t get trained on the M3s with a stabilizer because the M5 took it’s place well before.

They already have them on premium Japanese tank

I have a Sherman book someplace that states they were little used, one of the more interesting things though, is that most of my books on US tanks don’t even mention it at all.

Ok, I’ll compromise and say there could be a node in the tanker squad update tree, or perhaps a tanker perk; that allows the crew to use the stabilizers in their tanks.

Also looking forward to late war German armor being modeled with poor metallurgy, resulting in spalling and cracking up to complete failure from repeated strikes from enemy tanks. There should be a 20% chance that any German tank breaks down at any given time too.

Most books don’t mention it because it’s not really worth noting in the grand scheme of things. The Gyro isn’t passed on to the Pershing, and it wasn’t integral to the Shermans design as evidence by the crews disconnecting it prior to receiving training. However as I pointed out earlier, if something is not talked about, its assumed to be working fine as there are no complaints about it. The Primary sources also reflect this with mentions to the Gyro decreasing as the war goes on.
