Title: Ostwind
Post by: LTARstud on March 24, 2008, 11:15:43 AM
Fix the view from the gunner seat.  Before the latest patch you could page up or down, and hold your head position.  Would be nice to have that back. As it is modeled now it is hard to see and there are blind spots.  Not nearly as effective as it used to be. This will cause the Wirblewind to be the ride of choice not only because of it's rate of fire but also because the field of view is unobstructed.

How many people could fit in that turret?

I only ask because i had an idea, Most people use the tank's turret machine gun's to view whats around them, would it be possible to add another view. Kind of like a tank commander, how they almost always had there heads sticking out for a unobstructed view.

Maby they could add another position to the osti that would have a all around view "standing per say" from the turret.
That way they could use that view to spot* the enemy, change to the gun, acquire, and fire.

But i dunno if it had multiple people, or just one guy.

I used the page up thing in osti before too and it was awsome.  Getting good in the osti was hard enough before now it's way to hard to hit anything flying across.  If nothing is done the osti will be a hanger queen.

Standard compliment was 3.  One gunner;  one loader;  one spotter / driver.

The spotter would generally stand behind gunner and direct gunner by tapping on left or right shoulder indicating direction of target.

Excellent question  Salute.
