Since the keyboard layout and documentation to this game remain in constant flux, let me ask something that I simply can not find anywhere: How to you change shell types in the tank? I would like to go from AP to Smoke Shells and how to do so is not documented anywhere in the keyboard layouts.
Please add to you future updates some up to date Help files. Sure is a nice game but awful hard to get newbies into.
Thanks

To change shells you need to go into keymapping and map a key to it. Most have mapped backspace to it so it is the same for planes or vehicles.
I hope to have an extensive help section for the vehicles up on the Red Dragons page. Redwing is working on the stuff now.
Note: If you haven't remapped your keymapping the setup area then you should be able to just look at the keymapping to see where it is by default. HTC doesn't overwrite the keymapping on the installs so any updates they do you have to manually add yourself. This is so you don't have to remap all your favorite keys every release with the drawback being you have to add the occasional new feature yourself.

Setup, Key Mapping, Gunner, Select Primary. Fire Secondary fires the machine gun while in the turret.

You can find out what key to use for every function by selecting setup, keymapping on the clipboard. I personally would go into joystick mapping and set up a button to "select secondary."
