Title: Turret degree gauge
Post by: Duedel on February 10, 2003, 03:25:48 AM

I would like to have a gauge in the turret of each GV that shows the heading in degrees - not the point of the compass but rather the orientation of the turret to the GV itself.

Yup, gotta agree with that one!

A very good idea

Yes, please.  A much needed feature.  Right now, the only way to get a quick gauge of turret orientation is to bring up the CB-map, then jump back and forth between the driver's position and the main-gun position.  A real pain.

In the PzKpfw IVH, you can ballpark turret alignment by looking for the ammo basket that sits right behind the driver's position. If you look forward/down from the gunner's position, lining the turret 'ring' section just right of that ammo box with the forward section of the turret points your gun straight forward. You can do the math from there to find other positions.
