What are the appropriate optimal distances for the M1A2 collimator?

The optimal distances for using the M1A2 collimator are specifically designed to ensure accurate alignment and functionality of the equipment during artillery operations. The recommended distances of 5 meters and 12 meters allow the operator to effectively calibrate and verify the alignment of the sighting systems in a controlled environment. These distances are chosen because they provide a balance between being close enough to facilitate precise adjustments and far enough to simulate field conditions.

Utilizing the correct distances is crucial for the effective operation of the artillery system, as misalignment can lead to significant errors in targeting and firing accuracy. Each specified distance plays a critical role in the overall training and operational readiness of the Cannon Crewmember, ensuring that the equipment is fully functional when it is deployed in real-world scenarios.
