At 23.18 the guy says the gyro worked very well but no one was trained to use it???
Glad you saw that cool video, looks like the best answer is both. Some guys figured the gyrostabilizer out and explained it to others and others turned it off for safety during everyday movement and others who turned it off because they didn’t completely understand it and didn’t think it was worth risking their lives on something they didn’t understand. Another reason I suppose could be tactics where fire on the move was not part of the plan.not to be a ** but how do you know this? do you have sources that you could present. I'm generously interested in this
Yes it looks that way and from the conversation in this thread it looks like by accedent the game system has both built into itGlad you saw that cool video, looks like the best answer is both.

Do you have a source for this? One of the reasons I figured the Sherman's gyro wasn't very helpful was b/c after the war the US armored forces dropped the concept for over a decade. I'm not sure about the M26/M46 but according to Zaloga neither the M47 nor the M48 incorporated a stabilization system. I think they put one in the M60 (in fact that tank might have had both gun and turrent stabilization, though I'm not positive.)However, it is well to note that subsequent post war production continued its use in one form or another
I like the optional rules as well. Gyro, Schuerzen are fun and BI forces a player to be cognisant of casualties even if there is no casualty cap in a scenario.I used to apply the optional rule for gyrostabilisers and schuerzen.
But I noticed that nobody else did.
So I have stopped using that option.
It could be halfway between the all or none choice that we have without the optional rule.
