Beyond visual range Artillary

Preface

Version 2.0 (Stable)

The Beyond-visual-range artillery (BVR) system has 5 shooting modes and 2 ammunition modes, as well as 2 trajectory modes. The 5 shooting modes are determined by the combination of three independent levers.

User manual

• VR/BVR Lever: When not pulled down, corresponds to VR mode.
• Digital/Directional Lever: When not pulled down, corresponds to Digital mode.
• Auto/Manual Lever: When not pulled down, corresponds to Auto mode.

Shooting Modes

• ** Mode 1 Line-of-sight control within visual range (VR/Any/ Any) **: Classic periscope control, commonly used under normal circumstances.

• ** Mode 2 Automatic digital control outside visual range (BVR/Digital/ Auto) **: Based on relative positions between periscope-controlled distance-measuring drone and artillery, fire angle automatically controlled by the ballistic calculator.

• ** Mode 3 Manual digital control outside visual range (BVR/Digital/ Manual) **: Based on manually input x-coordinate, fire angle automatically controlled by the ballistic calculator.

• ** Mode 4 Automatic directional control outside visual range (BVR/Directional/ Auto) **: Controlled based on real-time navigation angle vector from gun control terminal.

• ** Mode 5 Manual directional control outside visual range (BVR/Directional/ Manual) **: Controlled based on manually input fire angle.

Trajectory Modes

The trajectory mode lever is equipped with a trajectory light: Indirect/Direct. It corresponds to the direct trajectory mode when not pulled down (Direct < 35° < Indirect).

Ammo Modes

The lever 'Light/Heavy Ammo' corresponds to Light Ammo' when not pulled down. Available ammunition types:

• ** Light Ammo **: Railgun shell, Railgun gravity shell, Boardingpod

• ** Heavy Ammo **: Physicorium Shell, Nuclear shell

If the large turret is equipped with a flak cannon, only a single ammunition type will be available.

** Note **

The flak Cannon has an innate spread upon firing and its lower ammunition density, making it unsuitable for long-range precision sniping but useful for cost-effective long-range firepower coverage. Railgun does not have a spread issue and has high ammunition density, making it particularly suitable for long-range snipping potential targets.

** Additional Information **

In the beyond-visual-range automatic fire-control mode, the targeting drone can initiate a strike via gimbal control by double-clicking. In all other modes, firing must be conducted through the periscope control of the artillery. Both modes incorporate a fire-control safety mechanism, which is only disengaged when the input signal lies within the artillery's firing arc. The current status of the safety mechanism is visually indicated by an indicator light: red/green denotes fire disabled/enabled, respectively. The default firing arc is -12° to 90°. Please adjust it at the distribution box before installation.
