We are getting to the point where it is hard to find accurate data on the armor protection and shells of these tanks. A deployable range finder isn't that far fetched when the Germans and Americans both carried them for artillery spotting during ww2. So with everyone talking about which of the new modern MBT's are gonna be the best in 1.77 it got me thinking. All you'd need is the ability to actually range the target with those weapons quickly. 2 week EC match with several hundred players, planetside style, with full combined arms would make artillery vehicles much more useful since you could easily provide fire support from over 4 km away with some vehicles that fire just straight HE. Honestly it's part of the reason I wish that EC proposal was being worked on. No tanks (Except the Matilda Hedgehog) are equiped with proper mortars for fully indirect fire. Some maps are in higher tiers, but then they're too hilly or too cramped to make it possible from where you CAN fire on them. Even then most of the maps don't have a grid size reference making it impossible to perform indirect fire. Issue is, no map that normally has an artillery truck is big enough to make use of referencing fire other than firing onto the enemy airfields.
