The gun stabilizer is a system that improves the tank gun’s aim at the target and preserves (stabilizes) its aim even when the hull vibrates during movement, which allows it to perform effective aimed fire during vehicle movement or when temporarily stopped.
| Reaction time and accuracy between target detection and effective hit draw the line between life and death in tank warfare |
Currently a stabilizer on specific tanks is simulated with a generic high vertical guidance (elevation) speed on the gun - which, of course, makes firing on the move or after a short stop easier, but still this does not provide a real simulation of stabilizer and fire control systems. After the introduction of the accurate stabilizer simulation, the vertical guidance speed on specifically equipped vehicles will be reduced to real life values.

This new feature will increase realism on machines historically equipped with a gun stabilisation system |
The stabilization system for tank guns will be enabled by default for all armored vehicles on where such systems were historically installed. For tanks with the ability to aim the gun using a lever, by default the gun will aim as before, with the help of the aiming mechanism. The button to enable the stabilizer on such tanks will unlock the gun and enable stabilization mode.
The first stabilizers appeared during the Second World War – unilateral stabilizers were installed on several models of the M4 Sherman and M3 Stuart tanks. These devices possessed far worse stabilization capabilities than modern stabilizers, but nonetheless provided a means to aim fire on short stops, quickly restoring aiming and also to fire when moving at a low speed. Tanks with a low-caliber gun (for example the British Matilda, the Czech Pz-38t and certain Japanese vehicles) had the ability to unlock the lifting mechanism and aim the gun vertically with the help of a lock rest.
At the same time, because the gun was balanced in pins, when the tank was moving slowly it also achieved a stabilization effect, and could fire effectively against targets at short range. The gun stabilizer became an industry standard in tank design in the post-war years, when the complex electromechanical system of dual-plane stabilization became capable of holding a target in the sight even at a significant speed and with a serious lean on the vehicle’s hull.
On ships, gun stabilization was widespread during World War II, even for anti-air guns. They could also stabilize on three planes, compensating for swell. The ability to fire effectively whilst moving makes gameplay on vehicles equipped with gun stabilizers more fun and more dynamic.

Thanks to the great developers. One step further WT approached the reality.
does this affect rb more greatly or ab more greatly? i assume it's not exclusive to rb?
lyrillvempos1327, Due to buffed traverse/elevation rates and more effective brakes in AB, I think it's more important in RB/SB, but it will be useful in both.
Is there a list as to what tanks would be using this system?
We will put the list in the Update 1.67 changelog.
Leopards, Chieftain and the Centurions to name a few. Possibly the shermans which did have an early form of stabilisation but wasn't often used if I remember correctly.
whatabout Realistic Gun Reticles? please add them
true! we need them!
Will the Type 74 MBT be receiving a stabilizer?
Why wouldn't it? Who said it wouldn't get it?
KoreanYun, I think he was just asking if it has one, not if there was some special circumstance in which it wouldn't get one.
Been waiting for this for so long! Now don't forget to give the Type 74 gun stabilization as it has it in real life.
Amen to that. Although this is exactly why japanese tanks are so bad in some senses, they dont have the super fast gun elevation as stabilisation because this was coming. Also I bet some turn so bad because we have regenerative steering coming sometime soon as well. Today was a good day for GF.
AKULA95723, what on earth is regenerative steering and that sounds like it's already in the game
M4 better get this or I'll do nothing about it.
Was about time :D
Two questions: 1) Is the horizontal stabilization also going to be added? 2) Will there be a chart with stabilisation v elevation speed? (Because yes, stabilization speed is not unlimited.)
doesn't 2 plane mean both? or what am i missing here
So... what's the benefit of turning the stabiliser off? Could someone explain that?
snapshots and using the dip of the hull when a tank stops to get a cheeky shot off
I knew a guy whose head got crushed between the breech block and the roof; his eyeball popped out.
please do a grammar fix, "The first stabilizers appeared during the First World War – unilateral stabilizers were installed on several models of the M4 Sherman and M3 Stuart tanks"
Also, as a Czech myself - it is not "Czech Pz-38t" it is "Czechosloak LT-38, known in WarThunder under it's German designation Pz.38(t)"
