| Tribunus Laticlavius  | Post; What Tank Has the Best Fire Control System?Military technology is always evolving of course, but I'm interested what people's opinions are. What FCS has the best reliable range? Best range of options? The way things are going, first sight - first kill has become more important that the quality of the armor on the tank.

| Centurion | All modern western tanks have can hit a moving target while moving 90% of the time at 3000 meters. I don't think anyone knows anything about the subtle differences in performence, if there are any. All I know is that the Leopard's FCS is easier to use then the Abrams. You have to remember which ammo you're firing and dump the lead. While the ammo indicator is automatic and there is dynamic lead on the Leopard.

| Tribunus Laticlavius | Wish somebody could pull stats on Effective Range. 3000 meters as a rule is great, but I would expect that some systems are going to outperform others since they are not a direct copy of the same design. |

| Centurion | I think that it's little difference and they are, most probably, top secret.

| Centurion | The Merkava Mk 4's fire control system is a derivitve of the one on the F-15, so it must be pretty good. |
