Aligning Centurion engine to gearbox

[Malcolm Towrie]

On another issue, when I select non-STAB mode, which provides power traverse, and only manual elevation (as it’s supposed to), the turret correctly rotates at a speed and direction depending on how the gunner’s or commander’s controller is rotated, as it should.
But when I select STAB mode, which is supposed to take signals from the traverse and elevation gyros to provide full stabilization for the gun elevation and the turret traverse, only stabilization for the gun elevation works (which is very cool, watching the gun stay level as the tank drives over berms), but the traverse stabilization doesn’t work at all, either from the stabilizing signal or the controller signal.
I know it’s a 70 year old tank and I can’t expect perfection, but it bugs me!
