Re: [TANKS] Re: Le progressAs I haven't competed as yet, I'm not sure of the minimum needed. From level, the BT-7 can manage about 7 degrees positive and about 4 negative. The rules say 10 degrees positive is the maximum allowed.
There have been a couple of home made markers used. I don't know how well they work or how accurate they are. Whatever you choose, the distance between the feed tube and the inner surface of the turret top is critical. In the BT-7 I toyed around with several alternate magazine ideas before returning to simple gravity. There are two powered feeders on the market that looked promising, The Cyclone and Warp feeders. Both are overkill for what is needed. I had also toyed with the idea of a spring loaded feeder.

Btw how much elevation do you guys actually need to compete against each other, how many degrees of vertical movement would be enough for the barrel?
