I would like to see this modeled more in the game. As a "for instance," what is the real difference between the T55's original Stadiameteric Ranging sight and the newer Volna Fire Contol System (other than the 4 second reduction in fire time)?

Volna added thermal imaging, laser designation using the rangefinder, and the ability to fire 9K116-1 missiles (AT-10 Stabber) from the cannon. It also added a BV-55 ballistic computer, putting its fire control overall roughly on par with a Leopard 1A1. The T-55M also (I believe) introduced the Tsiklon-M1 2-plane stabilization system. Accuracy for a shot at zero velocity on a 2x3 meter target at 2 kilometers is said to have gone from around 8% to around 45-50%, although my source is old and may have overestimated the capabilities of Volna/BV-55.
