vehicle operation
« on: January 23, 2014, 04:57:41 AM »
OK, I know, READ THE MANUAL, trouble is I can't find the manual on how to operate the vehicles now.  I have read for several hours everything I can but no joy.  If you can just point me in the right direction I will read it on my own

Thanking you in advance

W for forward, S for reverse.

From gunner or commander position....point and shoot.




SHIFT + W or SHIFT + S will "floor it" and maintain best possible speed.

In addition to Dragon,

A key turns you left, D key turns you right.

If your joystick or throttle had a 4 way hat switch, you can map these commands. To do that, open up your control assignment screen. Note; you'll see the Mode Selection window, click on Mode 2-Vehicles&Boats. Select the device and button/hat you want to assign tank movement commands to. A new window will open - Select AH Function. Choose vehicle. Now make your assignments one by one, and click OK after each one. Mode 2 commands allow you to reassign inputs that have already been assigned to air combat functions. When you jump into a tank, AH will automatically revert air commands to tank commands.

C and V adjust the gunsight range in german tanks (and the detonation distance of AA shells in the manned 88's on airbases)  :old:

Same here. Now if I could just ask that ALL enemy tanks please paint a big red bullseye on the side of their tank so that I might be able to spot them......  :neener:
