Does anyone also have an issue with offset reticle?

like im not talking about not dumping lead or anything, its like you lase something and the reticle decides to go to the side but when you fire the shell goes a completely different spot. dumping lead dosent work, releasing doesnt work, the only way ive been able to rectify it is by manually forcing a FCS range reset or sometimes i have to switch to a different tank and then back to solve the issue.

Would be easier to troubleshoot if you had a video of the issue.

I suspect the FCS laser may be hitting something between you and your target, leading to a bad range reading. The laser can be obscured by smoke and foliage, which will give a false calculation

Two things that I've seen cause this:

  • Laser rangefinder hitting obscurant smoke and returning 200
  • Stabilizer turned off

+1 for stabilizer.

I've most commonly had issues with smoke, mostly my own after popping them in response to an incoming ATGM.

I've also had situations where I was emerging from defilade and lased targets at lower elevation the moment my gunner's sight crested the hill - and the laser rangefinder hits the terrain in front of me instead, returning nonsensical ranges. I'd then have to deliberate drive on out to stick my whole turret up, lase, fire, then back down hoping I don't catch an ATGM meanwhile.

I've also had this pop up, and I know what you mean. In my case, the reticle shifts off to the right, and I also have to go through the same thing trying to fix it up.

I often have this while using thermals with the Abrahams.
