Gunnery Optics

[RichieRich]

I know that the Germans had the best tank optics in WW2, but which of the major Allies (American, British and Russian) had the best tank optics on their side? If you could rank them, which nation would be the best, and who'd be the worst? TIA!

Russian tanks had the worst optics, but you couldn't tell that from World of Tanks...

Can you tell it from Combat Mission? I don't have RT but played the demo - in the mission "Monster Mash" it didn't seem like the Germans had the advantage even at long range.

More accurately, the best self-propelled AT optics in WW2. Panzers belonged to Armor Branch and had decent enough optics but StuG's and such belonged to the Artillery Branch which outfitted their vehicles with much higher quality optics than any other service branch.
