Title : MBT-23 M-42
Type : MBT

Short description

A later modification of "Silence". The fire control system was improved and the frontal armor was slightly revised. Basically, it is almost the same tank with good speed, good armor, and excellent firepower.

History

This tank is a late 2012 modification. It differs from the old version by a slightly stronger armor, ERA on the frontal part of the turret and a slightly different gun. There are some more changes, but they are insignificant.

control

Driving Mode(AG 1 off) :

Pitch = throttle.
Roll = hull turn.
VTOL = cannon elevation.
Yaw = turret turn.
Trim = Aiming speed control.
Brake = brakes.

Aiming Mode(AG 1 on) :

Pitch = cannon elevation.
Roll = turret turn.
VTOL = throttle.
Yaw = hull turn.
Trim = Aiming speed control.
Brake = brakes.

Ag 1 = control Mode switch.
Ag 2 = Activate AA machine gun.
Ag 3 = Activate the coaxial machine gun.
Ag 8 = Horizontal stabilizer switch.

You can use sight for aiming.

some instructions

1. For long-range shooting, use a trim. Lower it down and you will increase your aiming accuracy. I have been able to achieve very high accuracy. The problem comes in another way: the guns in the SP have a spread. The projectile may fail to hit, even if you aim accurately.
2. When driving on asphalt, I RECOMMEND USING medium physics.
