Request to add Turkish PARS III Mk19 RWS to calculations

Open Ferrariic opened this issue 8 months ago • 34 comments

Situation: Turkish PARS III MK19 RWS and Marine AAVP Mk19 can accurately hit infantry targets at ranges of up to 5.8km in testing. Realistically, the PARS III has an elevation dial which can be used to justify hitting targets at these extreme ranges. The AAVP MK19 can also hit these ranges, but it cannot be dialed in without a spotter, and therefore should not be added to the mortar calculator. The AAVP MK19 also has a maximum flat elevation of 30°, giving it a range of 5,092m on flat terrain, without 15° vehicle elevation offset to get to 45°.

Problem: Turkish PARS III MK19 RWS not in calculations dropdown, and would be a very effective indirect fire method.

Solution: Add turkish PARS III MK19 RWS to calculations, using muzzle velocity of 240m/s. Vehicle has maximum theoretical elevation of 45°, and a practical elevation of 41°. Range is ~5.8km. Vehicle elevation offset can be indicated as 1.5-3meters, depending upon the vehicle used.

Ballistics calculator used, which is accurate in my testing. https://www.omnicalculator.com/physics/range-projectile-motion

Additional Clarification: The wiki may be incorrect at listing the muzzle velocity of the mk19 at 230m/s, the calculations work best with 240m/s. Further testing is necessary, though I believe this works best.
