  Semp,

  basically instead of having the target face due north at xxx range you can now set xxx range and xxx degrees,so south west north or east and every degree on the compass. Also you can change the pitch from level,assume 0 to and I'm assuming here as I havent tried this out yet but 90 degrees up to 90 degrees down.

    So you could get into the ball turret and have the target 45 degrees below at 300 yds facing south!

  This is a great training tool because it has so many applications.

probably much more work to program into the game, but any way to make it so players have the option of changing the shape of the target to a selected plane silhouette also?

Hows about drones that tow target banners near bombers and fighters. Or fixed gunner stands on a range with track and a wheeled target on it that gets pulled at speed left or right 90 degrees of your position. Thats how much of gunnery training took place. Once you get to a 1 to 1 sillouett, why not just chase the drones in the circle?

The drones and the original north facing target complemented each other for many years. You can shoot at the drones from almost any mannable gun platform in the game while offline while using the lead comp gunsight. But, up till now you could not get feedback against a fixed target on the results of your elevation at distance higher than 90ft for your mannable cannon on the ground.

Have you ever wondered what the real elevation relationship is in your gunsight when shooting at fighters from the 37mm manned gun?

This, it will be a really useful offline and training tool.  Can't wait, and Bustr is already posting in our forums about taking a week off from work when its released, that is if he wasn't already retired.

i wish when you typed .target xxx it would just show up in front of you no matter what direction you are flying.
