(2.15.1.55) AMX-50 'Foch' Incorrect Gunner and Commander Sight Magnification

[LeGrandSarrazin 753]

# Game version

My game version: (2.15.1.55)

 

# Description

The Auto-Canon de 120, known colloquially as AMX-50 'Foch', has incorrectly modelled gunner and commander sight magnification values.

 

As it is currently modeled:

Spoiler

 

 

As we can see, the sights are currently modeled as such:

Gunner: 1.9x/40° - 3.5x/21°

Commander: 4.0x/19° - 10x/7°

 

Unfortunately, these values are not correct.

 

If we look at the Auto-Canon de 120 blueprints, for the gunner's sight:

Spoiler

Auto-Canon de 120 Avant-Projet (Pre-Project Design):

 

Quote

1 Périscope-lunette grossissement: 6x conjugué avec déplacement du canon

1 Periscope-sight magnification: 6x mated with displacement of the barrel

 

Canon d'Appui de 120 (This was briefly renamed in 1947, but was soon returned to 'Auto-Canon de 120'):

 

Quote

1 Lunette périscopique conjuguée avec les déplacements du canon permettant tir direct et indirect - Correcteur de visée

1 Periscopic sight paired with the movements of the barrel allowing direct and indirect fire - Aiming corrector

 

 

As we can see, the gunner's sight was 6x, not 3.5x.

 

Onto the commander's sight:

Spoiler

 

 

 

 

Quote

L'oculaire gauche peut servir de viseur, champ 32°, grossissement 1,6x

The left eyepiece can be used as a viewfinder, field 32°, magnification 1.6x

 

 

As we can also see, the commander's sight is supposed to be 1.6x/32° - 16x/3°15, not 4.0x/19° - 10x/7°

 

 

If corrected, Auto-Canon de 120 would have 6x gunner's mag (and whichever FoV and low range mag the devs choose, as they weren't specified) and 1.6x/32° - 16x/3°15 commander's sight mag.

 

 

# Steps to reproduce the issue
