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.

Thulle_ if i rember the Tiger II h didn't they add an experimental gun stabilizer if that will we see it on the tiger II line?
This is how tier 5 will require even less skill to be effective in combat.
Do any of the American top tier tanks (like M60A1) have a gun stabilizer? It'll be absolutely boring to get OHK by Leopards going at supersonic speed
In real life th M60 and M48 both had it; don't know about in game though.
*maxmillian, Cool, then they're probably going to add it, thanks for reply!
FINALLY. The main advantage to mediums and many tank destroyers is their mobility, however when you cant shoot on the move it really hinders this advantage. Now we will be able to use these tanks' mobility to its full potential.
Niiiiice! Finally we get it! Oh, and poor Russia. Poor, poor, poor, poor Russia. They'll get even more rofl-stomped at tier 5 now :P
the t10m has a two plane stabilizer, and so does the the t62 and the beloved zsu 57...
Abe_Le_Musketeer, Yeah, but that's the only ones. Meanwhile UK and US tanks have stabilizer on far more vehicles (one or two planes, but still better than none), and Germany... well, they have the Leopard :P
Woosh, how fun for the late British tanks :D
nice
"The first stabilizers appeared during the First World War – unilateral stabilizers were installed on several models of the M4 Sherman and M3 Stuart tanks." May want to fix the "First World War" part
Ooooh man, my Centurion Mk 3 is going to be even better now!
Will we have a fix for the regenerative steering of some tanks in this patch?
