I think the tracks would be a hard thing to damage. They are big hunks of iron. Engines generally need some venting etc so there will be weak spots on them.

My understanding of wind from my experience of an M1, which is famous for it's accuracy, is that it is most effected the closer it is to the barrel. Modern tanks have crosswind detectors, but of course those only measure the crosswind where the tank is.

No, it is opposite. When it slows down it is more affected by the wind because of the time it is exposed to it.

@@WillyKling Makes sense. As I said I was a tanker and that was what we were told. Either way, we never missed. Also as I said crosswind detectors on tanks only measure the crosswind of where the tank is. If local topology creates different wind patterns where the target is then ya, have a spotter, reload fast, adjust as necessary, service the target, and GTFO.
@kensmith56944 ай бұрын
I think you may be under estimating the effect of the weapon on the war. It has enough range that the enemy may not be sure where the round came from. Instead of taking out the lead vehicle, the shooter has the option to disable one part way down the column. In Ukraine this gives the Russians a very bad problem because the path they are following is the only one they know doesn't have mines on it. Thus taking out the middle truck, effectively spits the convoy into two groups.

The Barrett light 50 is an important weapon, especially for US forces, BUT anti-material rifles were very much around and in use before it came on the market, precisely because there are plenty of things less heavily armoured than an MBT that are very much worth shooting. Compared to either a mortar or an ATGM, you can carry many more rounds, and are much less likely to be located when you fire an anti-material rifle.
