Pintle to main gun problem
« on: July 18, 2002, 10:25:09 PM »
Everyone tells me they are able to aim with their pintle gun and jump straight to the main gun and be pointing in the right place.

I am unable to do this.  I can not move straight from the pintle gun to the main gun.   I must first go to the driver position before I can get to the main gun.  And then its not pointing to where the pintle gun was so I have to slew around and search for my target.

This puts me at a big disadvantage in a quick draw fight.  Has anyone else had this problem?  Do I not have soemthing configured right?

Thanks in advance,

Nope, there's nothing you really need to configure Wab. Punch 3 to hop into the pintle position, get on target, then punch 2 to get down behind the main gun. Works like a charm, or at least it should. As for reasons why you can't pull it off, ya got me!

Ach!  I cant stand that!  

Why arent the different guns and their relative positions be saved when jumping from each spot in a gv?  I hate having to realign the pintle EVERY time I jump to it from the main gun.  For me, its pointed 90 degrees or some amount to the right of the main gun's position.   Is this intentional?
