I cannot see through flashing cannon

[Andreikokot]

Hi,
when I fire, there is a big flash that i cant see through and bad thing is, that this flash last very long (several seconds) so i cant see where I fire. Than i cant adjust my firing.

When I look at youtube videos, on some it occurs, on some not. Maybe depending on campaign, system running, or maybe it is only in quick battle, I dont know.

It is very unrealistic and bothersome.

Any help to switch it off? thx

I noticed this too but mostly with the Soviet tanks. I don't know if it's realistic or not but it seems it could be correct for several reasons. The Soviet tanks sit alot lower to the ground then the M-60 or Chieftein so the turret is closer to the ground as would be the gun sight. Probably the concussion from the cannon would kick up alot of debris and soil let alone the smoke from the round, depending on the soil your sitting on it could be pretty intense and long lasting. But as a rule you really shouldn't fire a round and stay put, try moving foward or backwards after you send a round down range to get clear of the debris/smoke cloud. It's a small amount you should move so it shouldn't mess up your target solution.
Cheers.

here it is more apparent



see from 8:25 ... he fires two shots where you can see what i mean:)

... he fires, than cloud emerges, it takes several seconds, than several seconds while dissapearing ... normally it should be just half second flash

thx

that's not the flash, it's the residue from the shell. It's fairly realistic, IMO, and can easily be solved by changing position after each shot

HAHAHAA they had this same problem with the Firefly. It's realistic.

it depends on your graphic settings and the terrain

I can tell you the flash and debris and smoke is there. When I get a bead from my M60 on a a T55/62 and fire-the view is disturbed by the flash and smoke leading to some tense moments for everything to clear so I can see if I need to keep firing-or the target back away. I have no complaints about that. It must be your settings.
