Fun fact! The same company that made the 35mm cannons for the Gepard, also makes brake parts for locomotives. Used also outside Germany.

The main reason why people don't constantly talk about the Gepard being an absolute menace to basically everything is because it's just become commonly accepted facts

[@alexmaximus9134]

Another thing that helps is the fact that a large portion of the players using it are absolutely braindead. If they were smart, the gepard would shread anything. It's better than the shilka in every way: speed, penetration, damage, reaction time, accuracy, and even protection, as seen in the video. And yet somehow, when i play, i get more kills in my shilka than the allied gepards.

[@TheGXDivider]

In real life it was also recently discovered that they're a great counter to small drones and loitering munitions. Everyone (especially the Dutch and German armies) is now realising that it was a mistake getting rid of their Gepards in favour of missile based anti air.

[@hijackdallas6052]

Thanks for playing the Gepard man!! I’m happy to hear that even when not fully focused, you still had a lot of fun. Also, I think you dropped a little something… 9:22

[@lordhickory3322]

11:24 The commander said "Das war ein voller erfolg, Kameraden! Stellung sichern!" or in English "That was a complete success, comrades! Secure your position!" Which is funny that he said that after he got nuked.

[@professormanhattan7254]

The one takeaway I learned when playing AA was to always wait until you were guaranteed to hit them. Even if non critically. Do t mindlessly shoot in the void. Not only does it never hit, but it also gives away your position making you less likely to successfully ambush the pilot in future engagements. Wirblewind went from ok to devastating real fast when I changed my strategy to this.

[@jerrymartin7019]

I think the reason targets above you seem harder to hit is because the shells are moving much more in line with gravity than they are when you're firing at a 25-45 degree angle. So they're going to be moving slower aren't dropping nearly as much, both of which affect where you need to aim.

During a visiting day in a Belgian military base in Koksijde, there were multiple older tanks and military vehicles being displayed, but the one thing that instantly stood out was the Gepard. It's massive and so much cooler in real life. There was a miltary museum there aswell with a see-through acryllic mock-up of a Gepard autocannon. Absolutely insane that those autocannons can spit out such a high rate of fire. I took epic pics and had an amazing day.

[@juusolatva]

I wish Gaijin would add the real ItPsv 90 (the same turret on a T-55AM chassis). the 90 in the name signifies 1990 as the year of adoption and Finland bought its first Leopard 2A4s in 2002. what we have in the game now is the successor from 2015 (the same turrets moved onto a Leopard 2A4 chassis after original ItPsv 90 was put into storage). before the Leopard 2A4s Finland used T-55Ms in conjunction with T-72M1s, since the T-55Ms had better APFSDS ammunition purchased from Mecar and the Russians wouldn't sell better ammunition for the T-72M1s. some T-55s were in service even after the T-72M1s were retired, since they were used for mine clearing.

[@BIOSHOCKFOXX]

Taking down helicopter is harder than a light vehicle, is mostly because you hit mostly empty compartments, since mostly helicopter is a flying shell that has nothing inside 40% of the whole body, so you shoot through it rather than the components or pilots, and even bouncing shrapnel inside doesn't hit anything since there's nothing to hit, but it can shred a small piece off. At first it didn't made sense to me as well, but when you think about it, then it makes.
