|Those tracers are only meant to be between every 5 or 10 rounds! That’s
|a lot of ammo!
|u/logicblocks - 3 hours
|
|Why would one use tracers if it's automatic turrets?
|u/Huy7aAms - 3 hours
|
|probably bc machine still requires visual information to correctly
|adjust their gun. a difference by only 1 degree affects a lot at
|such range
|u/JamisonDouglas - 1 hour
|
|0.1 degrees over 1000m is 1.74 meters apart, so yeah it has a
|really big impact.
|u/onefst250r - 1 hour
|
|And that looks like its way the hell more than 1km.
|u/12InchCunt - 1 hour
|
|The CIWS (naval version) calculates so that it fires the round
|timed so that as the target hits 1 mile out it’s already being
|hit by 20mm tungsten rounds. It also has to compensate for
|the ship rocking
|u/Lysol3435 - 1 hour
|
|I imagine the at CIWS is top-of-the line and expensive as
|hell, though, right?
|u/Thrommo - 1 hour
|
|CIWS is like "tank" its a generic term for an automated
|naval hardkill defense system. on land its C-RAM (counter,
|rocket, artillery, mortal) the most common american system
|is a 20mm vulcan cannon connected to some radars. the
|system is called the "Phalanx" its the R2D2 looking one.
|some use missiles, some use 30mm or 40mm guns, it really
|varries. the Phalanx costs 8-18 million dollars with 700
|rounds of 20mm depleted uranium sabot at 30-80 dollars a
|round
|u/12InchCunt - 38 minutes
|
|I only knew enough to get my ESWS your explanation is
|way better than I could do haha But we used tungsten
|sabot rounds
|u/4_hammer - 1 hour
|
|Yeah those things are at least a few thousand dollars a
|piece.
|u/onefst250r - 38 minutes
|
|Yeah, I spent some time on a US navy ship. When they were
|doing test fires of that thing (CIWS), no matter where you
|were on the ship, you'd know it.
|u/12InchCunt - 17 minutes
|
|The 76mm is fun too. Most ships’ “main gun” is a 5” which
|can only fire 15-20 rounds per minute but 76mm is 80
|rounds per minute. Being directly under it in the galley
|or near it when it’s shooting is nuts
|u/Admiral_Ballsack - 1 hour
|
|Are they flacks when they blow up?
|u/Flintlocke89 - 45 minutes
|
|"Flak" is derived from the German word Flugabwehrkanone, Anti-
|aircraft gun. Historically these have employed either timed,
|barometric or proximity fuses but they are not mandatory.
|u/ShackOfAllShades - 16 minutes
|
|Can’t speak for these guns but 30mm airburst ammo that gets
|fed detonation range from a targeting system is what is most
|common, such as germanys sky ranger system. Other systems for
|dealing with larger aircraft have rounds that contain
|proximity sensors that will arm within a distance bracket
|designated by the rangefinder before launch
|u/Gannondorfs_Medulla - 1 hour
|
|Reminds me of my buddy who drove a tank. He said when everything
|is operating as it should, they can be driving 30MPH and put a
|shell thru a bedroom window 6 miles away. Which, wow! Then he said
|when they miss, they can be off by as much as a mile and a half.
|Which, also wow!
|u/MaxineTacoQueen - 1 hour
|
|My job for a short time was to pick up rounds from tanks that
|had missed on practice ranges. (Because the officers of that
|unit were convinced that they contained explosives for some
|reason. but no biggie, I was on standby for the artillery range
|down the road, anyway.) Two misses on the same target from the
|same position was often a 20 minute walk between them. But
|when it got to the 'burn up this extra ammo so we don't have to
|do paperwork to return it' phase, I saw one tank hit 3/5 dead
|center from half a mile while doing donuts and powerslides.
|u/Gannondorfs_Medulla - 1 hour
|
|Doing donuts and powerslides in a tank while trying to blow up
|a pile of unused ammo... I mean, what in the world can you do
|that would qualify as fun after doing this?
|u/7mm-08 - 1 hour

|
|Was going to say this also, it's a way of possibly detecting some
|major miscalibration. Not that I think it would make a big
|difference in this kind of scenario where they're engaging a lot
|of targets with a lot of fire, but as a more general principle it
|can be good to thing to help a human in the loop identify a
|problem. Also, tracers don't hurt in this scenario -- they're kind
|of like the other rounds and not vastly more expensive so go with
|a standard distribution of them.
|u/DialUp_UA - 3 hours

|Because there is still a gunner who aims the turret.
|u/terminalavocent - 14 minutes

|u/EventAccomplished976 - 46 minutes
|
|Pet peeve, but „flak gun“ is redundant. The acronym flak stands
|for „Flugabwehrkanone“, which already includes the cannon/gun
|part. „Flak gun“ means literally „antiaircraft cannon gun“.
|u/Reddog1999 - 2 hours
|
|Automatic turrets? This is not radar guided fire for sure, they are
|probably just heavy machine guns and auto cannons

|
|Auto but manned.
|u/LotharVonPittinsberg - 1 hour
|
|IIRC, it's standard loading for both automated defences and manned
|defences. Serves more of a purpose for manned guns, but for
|automated it is used for troubleshooting (hah) guidance systems
|and as an indicator for what direction the troops need to be
|paying attention to.

|
|Yes drones are small and light enough, without enough fuel on

|The primary contributor cutting all federal aid to the allied

|to surrender to their enemy. Trump has already begun talks to try

|going to have a field day sucking as much of Ukraine back into

|u/Bogtear - 2 hours
|
|This reminds me of another video of a ukrainian tank assaulting a
|russian trench, The top comment was something like "why aren't they
|using anti-tank"... I was wondering if they were watching the same
|video. But then I was playing the tutorial to battlefied 2042, and
|driving that cartoon tank around with a main cannon that can't
|destroy a glass door and a coax machinegun that apparently shoots
|nerf darts and I got where that commenter was coming from. If this
|is your reference for what a tank is, then yeah of course just "use
|anti-tank" makes sense. I think many people who play military
|themed first person shooters do not recognize what an unbelievably
|massive distortion of modern heavy weaponry they are. Like the coax
|machinegun on a tank in the real world is a 20mm cannon. I think.
|The idea of exposing yourself for even a moment to aim and fire a
|rocket at a tank shooting gigantic guns at you is ludicrous. When
|infantry catch tank crews by surprise, then yeah ambushing with
|rockets works great. When the tank knows where you are, very
|different story. And in the video, the Russians do try to hit it
|with rockets. The miss, twice. Possibly because being shot at with
|a 105mm main gun, 20mm machine gun and a 50 cal makes you either
|very terrified or very dead.
|u/LamyT10 - 1 hour
|
|Fighting a tank in some shooters is also very hard. The difference

|
|We come from many centuries of violence, it didn't just start in
|the last few decades. Being able to associate that media does a
|good job portraying war, when we see videos from an actual war,
|isn't detachment from reality. Why do you think people dress up
|like civil war soldiers and go to an open field with old guns and
|pretend to shoot eachother? They think its fun to re-enact. No
|different than old war films or cowboy westerns, those things
|existed well before the "internet generation" and showcase a very
|real and violent existence. My Grandpa served in Vietnam also and
|he talks about it like he was proud to be there and do what they
|did. Sadly not everyone who goes to fight in a war is a good
|person just doing what they can to help, sometimes they enjoy what
|they do and they continue to be violent after they get back home.
|Constant violence desensitizes people so its not surprising that
|the generation you speak of being "weirded out by this internet
|generation playing war games" was the same generation that
|continued to pushed the violence narrative further because of what
|the previous generations did without the help of the internet.

|wrong and the next morning I suddenly found myself collapsed on

|play military/war themed video games to relax but I have to be
|careful about certain war or conflict movies. Everyone is going

|Yeah I was gonna say it’s exactly like watching an airplane fly

|u/nitefang - 2 hours
|
|So im not a ballistics expert or anything but if you are saying the
|tracers seem to be moving slowly, I don’t think that is the case.
|For one thing, the way tracers work is that they glow and leave a
|streak behind where the bullet actually is. Combine that with the
|distance and it will appear to be moving slowly but is really moving
|just as fast as a bullet. Just like how an airplane high up in the
|sky appears to be moving slowly but if it were 10 feet off the
|ground it would be obvious it was going 500mph. I may have
|misunderstood exactly what you were talking about but to my
|knowledge, tracer rounds fly just as fast as non-tracers and machine
|guns don’t pack ammo that flies slower to shoot at drones. The only
|way I know of to slow down a bullet would be to pack less powder
|which will lead to all sorts of other issues and I’m not aware of
|this ever being done. But maybe you meant something else like
|there were fewer bursts or it didn’t seem like the “lines” of rounds
|were moving to aim at different targets very quickly?
|u/hectorxander - 2 hours

|Do the tracers fly slower than the bullets? I know in ww2 tracers

|I only shot tracers at 300m range and they hit the target about as

|u/Strange-Ask-739 - 2 hours
|
|Tracers are specifically designed to mirror the ballistics of the

|u/koolaidsocietyleader - 2 hours
|
|From the wikipedia, they say tracer rounds are either for the
|shooter to quickly ajust for the trajectory of the bullet or to
|indicate to others where to shoot. If they are meant to ajust for
|the trajectory they would need to have the same balistic
|properties of the other bullet. Since those are robots firing, I
|would guess it is their way of calibrating as they fire to adapt
|for changing conditions (wind, rain, air drag and probably other
|variables).
