turret view default
« on: August 25, 2009, 05:38:17 PM »
I was wondering. Not sure if this should be a wish. When you go from turret to another view and back it by default starts with HE rounds (if you were carrying them). Is there away to stop this from happening, especially when all the HE rounds are expended and you are running about switching postions looking for enemy contacts then jump back in the turret to an empty payload even though you have a full arsenal of another type of round. Not really a huge problem just hit the back space I suppose but when it is a hard out battle and timing is essential this can be the make or break factor.  Essentially I am asking, if when you choose which rounds you want to  use can you jump back into the turret to those specific rounds again. And if not, why. Surely the gunner would know what type of battle he is in and would get the tank commanders pace stick placed somewhere unpleasant if he was to try and load something that wasn't there.


oops sorry wrong place

It's the same in bombers that have a mixed loadout and gunners.

I'm not very familiar with bombers...but if you choose a particular type in the loadout and change views you still have the load out type chosen when entering back into the site. Don't you? If not, that would explain some things for when I do attempt bombing and the big daddy I thought I had picked... wasn't what dropped.

No.

When having mixed bombs in a Lancaster, and you sekect the 2nd type of bombs for drop, it'S resetting to the 1st type again if you dare to jump to another psotion.
Just like it is with GVs.

I thought it was AP rounds as the default in everything but the M-8.  Has that changed?

I think it is AP rounds that is the default... but the point is, it should stay where you put it until you change it.  It shouldnt go back to the default just because you jump to another position and then back.

True enough.  Was just caught in an alzheimers moment.
