3 second for a light tank, 5 seconds for a medium tank and 9 seconds for a heavy tank. There is no way to set the rate of fire so it becomes an issue of integrity on the part of the operator to count the appropriate number of seconds between shots. This means it can shoot far faster then even the light tank setting which is one shot every 3 seconds. There is still a gap for between the heavy tank setting which is 9, so the 6.0 tank would now be a little handicapped, but fewer hits tend to be more acceptable to most clubs then too many.Ģ.) The 6.0 system can fire about as fast as one can "pull the trigger" after the track recoil cycle is complete. This takes only a few moments to accomplish and evens out the number of hits to match the "Tamiya standards". Or a medium tank which is 5 hits would mean shooting the 6.0 tank once. This means shooting the 6.0 tank three time prior to the start of a battle. Example would be fighting as a light tank which is only 3 hits. Ideas we have tried and found to work out well enough to overcome the drawbacks.ġ.) To reduce the the number of hits to match those of the "Tamiya standards" we simply "put" a few hits (by shooting them) on the 6.0 tank prior to the start of each battle. The following is a SHORT SUMMARY of what has been found to work well by providing an overall balance in tank on tank IR performance.ġ.) The total number of hits are set a 6 and this can not be reset to match a weight class.Ģ.) The rate of fire can not be reset to match a weight class.Ĥ.) No speed reduction when hit to simulate a damaged tank.ĥ.) IR emitter not recessed far enough in the tank to stop a "shot gun blast" effect.Ħ.) 6.0 IR receiver lack of receiving hits in mid day sunlight. Because of this, I have been working with a few clubs to establish ways to best interface the two systems for fair and fun IR play between the old school Tamiya die hard tankers and the new Heng Long tankers. Unfortunately there are still some drawbacks that can cause resistance to the use of the 6.0 system with many established clubs that base their IR battles around the "Tamiya standards". With the new Heng Long 6.0 systems having the ability to "give and receive" IR hits with the industry standard Tamiya systems whole new doors have opened up for the R/C tank hobby.
