It's really sad that the mossad and Netanyahu allowed this terrorist attack (October 7) to happen to have the final excuse to go full genocide later. They obviously miscalculated the terror attack by Hamas.

How do crosshairs work on a tank? Does the FCS make the adjustments for you so the gun is set to hit what you're aiming at? The offset makes me think it would be hard to hit things accurately at close ranges.

with modern FCS you just track the target (or use the autotracker), range and fire, it hits within 0.5 mil of where you were aiming under all conditions
the gun doesn't point where the crosshair is, also the corsshair or the picture doesn't move when FCS makes adjustments like it was in early designs, M60 for instance
the parallax error is corrected down to very close ranges

you would be able to see through dust just a little in SWIR-MWIR and pretty clearly in LWIR
here the camera is partially washed out for a few precious seconds when you have to asses if you reengage or switch to the next target, even in the third video where it's in LWIR mode

they dont have a .50 coax they have an FN MAG 7.62 mm coax its their only other weapon. in routine guard duty the 60mm mortar only has smoke rounds in it.

they can mount an M2 on top of the gun buy iirc this is intended for long range warfare, shooting far away ATGM teams. they dont mount those on guard duty or in the tanks sent to gaza. >>63941309
idk ive seen video of it firing in the golan and viability was fine. but this is an area with lots of fine soft sand.
the location is near sufa outpost
https://www.google.com/maps/place/31%C2%B014'24.8%22N+34%C2%B020'09.4%22E
eventually all the tanks in the area just ran out of ammo, ran over a dozen terrorists some retreated while others dismounted and fought on foot. the outpost was retaken by naval special forces that arrived 6h later (pic related)

the outpost killed 65 terrorists losing 13 defenders and the civilians in the kibutz next to it + police swat that arrived later killed 35 terrorists losing 3 defenders.

Mazel tov!

With this most recent triumph, destiny has, in a single shtick, signaled the fading of the old worldโ€™s gornisht and ushered in a new era of glorious prosperity and peaceful global leadership for the Chosen Peopleโ€™s spirit, which stands in radiant contrast to the historically tumultuous rise of other powers and the shanda they brought to the humbler nations of the world. With the blessings of kosher quantum matzo-ball energy, quantum menorahs, and quantum-powered shofars, these will be the tools with which the Jewish people affirm their noble stewardship of 21st-century global affairs, offering the world a different path; a mensch-like alternative to the mishegas of past leaderships and the chance for a more equitable and dignified mishpacha of nations.

noise depends on the illumination level. your footage is probably in a dark cold night. the merkava footage is during a hot,bright morning

>>63941721
its just a border guard they didnt 'expect' to do anything buy shoot the shit for a few hours and then go back to base to let the next shift have its turn. also its an extremely dusty environment the chances of an M2 mounted on top of the gun working after driving for a bit are very small, you'd have to cover it up from dust somehow.

>shooting far away ATGM teams
Main gun is for that, for the same reason as above. Trying to land hits with a .50 at 2km is silly. Whatever the rationale for the coax .50 is, has to be something else like punching through cover in urban situations or something

the literal reason israeli tanks got M2's on the main gun + machine guns for the commander and loader is to deal with enemy ATGM teams.

they found that lots of machinegun fire + smoke is how you deal with syrian ATGM attacks and later added lots of machineguns to all their tanks and it kinda stuck to this day. the M2 mounted on the main gun is there to use the main gun's super precise targeting system and recoil-absorbing large mass to basically do longe range sniping with the m2

Admittedly the tanks of this period not having laser range finders is a good example of why you'd want a .50 coax for ATGM suppression. Walking your shots with MG tracers to hose down an area is probably a bit faster than the manual procedure to estimate range for the main gun. And a few seconds might make the difference between eating a sagger or getting the operator to blink or flinch.

Sure. But the IDF using .50 coax predates any of the Merkva. And was probably more important for ATGM suppression since those older tanks didn't have much in the way of advanced fire control systems that allowed you to lob HE at long distance quickly and accurately. Now-a-days I imagine the .50 coax is more a situational/nice to have carry over. Especially with Trophy/Iron Fist being the primary defense against ATGMs.

From what I have seen most hamas vids is shit like >>63946821 where rockets get shot at tanks or bombs thrown at them only to have some external explosion that at most throws up dust and no aftermath ever and none of it seems to amount to anything.
