Using ship guns in land mode ?
« on: May 01, 2002, 08:31:39 AM »
How does aiming in land-mode work ? I tried opening the Clipboard, clicking left on the target I want to hit, and turning the gun (front gun of cruiser) so that the "Left" and "Dist" indicators showed zero. The shells hit well within visual range, and the target was half a sector away :confused:

Help appreciated.

Hit the key for land mode (Q or W one of them?)it will say land in left top corner. Bring up map click on map where you want to fire. (Zooming map in helps ) The guns should point to your taget if in range. If its along way off press F8 then move your view down (8 & 2 numpad keys) so u can see where shells are landing (zoom in as well of course) If its out of range the range to target will show distance but the range of guns will show where they last pointed.
If you zoom map in (I move it to middle of screen) to a town & then click on the yellow dot you are going to hit it with the first salvo. You then have to move the guns around slightly to get all objects dead.
