temporarily disable land mode when commanding CV
« on: November 01, 2011, 11:28:47 AM »
if you're in an 8" gun and you click on the map to make waypoints for your task group, every time you click the map the guns are directed to the CV waypoint and you lose the guns' aimpoint.

very annoying when you've finally managed to range a SB or a hangar and then need to do a quick turn to evade buffs.

I realise that you still have the offset from the last aimpoint displayed but its a bit of a faff having to manually reacquire the aimpointand can take quite a while.


when the Command Task Group tab is open on the clipboard, the land mode aiming should be temporarily disabled.

btw I mean only disable the clipboard clicking aimpoint, you should still be able to adjust fire with joystick, fire, zoom, slew the sight and all that other good stuff.

Think maybe we can get little red X's on the clipboard at locations we've already hit with the 8"? Can be toggled just like the radar rings and vehicle spawns and only applies for your guns in your current sortie.

+1  but sometimes simply clicking anywhere on my clipboard changes my gun position.  Maybe there could be a distinction between singe and double clicks.  The gun position being the double click.
