Re: SG2 Vehicle Questions

Yes, when I read your reply mentioning remote fired weapons, I realised
the
questioner could have been talking about a system like the 20mm cannons
on
the Marder and the French MICV. These can fired remotely by someone in
the
hull of the vehicle, not necessarily in the turret.
    I regard Fire Control as an aid to the crew in putting the rounds on
the
target. For example, automatic lead compensation, wind correction,
barrel
bend correction and so on. The more of this you have, the higher quality
fire control your vehicle has. But it still requires a crewperson to
designate the target either directly looking along the barrel or looking
through a remote viewing monitor, then pulling the trigger or pressing
the
fire button.
