Title: Tank ammo/bombsight zooming
Post by: iculus on June 20, 2000, 07:30:00 PM: How does one switch between HE and AP rounds in the panzer?

Can you still zoom the bombsight in B-26/B-17?

Thanks,
IC

Backspace may not work for everyone, you may have to remap the keys for that position (Primary and secondary gunners)

Post by: iculus on June 21, 2000, 11:51:00 AM: Thanks for the help...I found that to change tank round, you need to set up the change "primary" weapon key/button. I believe the default is the back-slash key.

You can zoom with the "Z" key, which works fine, but can you gradually zoom in/out (as with ext. view)? I'm thinking this feature might have been eliminated since the beta days to decrease norden accuracy, which makes sense because before you could aim at the molecular level with it from 30k (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif).

Thanks again,
IC
