Parachuteprone Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 When I go to peri view I cannot right click to search for targets independent of the gunner - sometimes/ most times. Wondering if I have a bad install ? My gunner cannot find targets but I believe that is a known issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSe419E Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 What vehicle? In the Leo 2A5 you have to uncouple the commanders peri by pressing "P." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted October 17, 2016 Members Share Posted October 17, 2016 ...which is a new thing that we'll try to get rid of again with the next update. Not sure about the right click thing in the original post. I don't think that you're supposed to use it, unless you remapped some commands. Designating targets would be done by arrow up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parachuteprone Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share Posted November 6, 2016 Leopard 2 - Sorry, I meant in the past in TC peri mode I could Left (Not right click) to search for targets then up arrow to designate. Gunner would identify then p to uncouple then space for him to fire. Now up arrow does nothing so I cannot designate nor will my gunner find targets on his own. I've gone into the control menu and clicked default with no effect. I did notice that the TC Palm switch has no keyboard command and KH mode has the up arrow. Maybe I have a scrambled install ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12Alfa Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Hit the "P" key then select the "UP" arrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move reticule to target, hit p, up arrow - nothing happens at all. Gunner just keeps swinging turret as if searching for targets on his own. Move reticule to target hit up arrow then p - nothing happens then either. Odd. Thanks for the help though. Will re-install when I get more time . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotareneg Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Were you moving in a forested area? The AI gunner will turn off stabilization when the vehicle is moving around trees, which would keep the KH mode from working. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No tried it in various terrains in various scenarios, even in instant action .Tried it with 2a5 and 2a6. No other issues other than " the gunner won't find targets on his own" issue. That being said there was one instance where he actually did call out a target and when I told him to fire he would not. Would be nice to fix it without re-install but I might have to bite the bullet. Was hoping I was just missing some new step. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotareneg Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Load up the Leo 2A4 tutorial 16 and give that a try, I'm just curious. Also, are you using a joystick at all, or just keyboard and mouse? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotareneg Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 While checking this, I noticed something that might be a bug, or might just be a quirk in how the real things work: In the 2A4 if I'm overriding the gunner using the KH mode I cannot switch to KW mode using either the hotkey (shift numpad *) or the 3D button next to the controller. I have use the peri cancel function (P key) or switch to ZU mode to slave the periscope to the gun before KW mode will activate. I suppose this might be how it's supposed to work though, I don't have a real 2A4 sitting around to check. In the 2A5 you can switch to KW mode when using KH mode, but then the periscope automatically cancels and you have to aim using the TIM screen (which switches to and is locked to the GPS display.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotareneg Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Oh, and if you give the gunner a scan order (shift up arrow for example) he will actually spot targets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parachuteprone Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share Posted November 6, 2016 Turns out if you have control handle selected instead of Joystick in the controls menu you won't be able to designate targets Will try the gunner scan command. Don't use it often. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotareneg Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Ah, yeah, that'll cause all sorts of problems if you didn't mean to select it. If you use the control handle setting then you NEED to set palm switch keys/buttons and keep them depressed when using the related control. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalager Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Gunner shoudn't/cant turn off the stabilisation as it's the commanders say if he wants to be in Beobachten or Stab Ein. And you always want to be in stab ein, even if you're in a forest 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted November 7, 2016 Members Share Posted November 7, 2016 With a well-intended change in 4.006, it turned out that a side effect is that the computer-controlled commander will activate ZÜ mode on the peri whenever you leave the position, and it doesn't get automatically cancelled when you return (which it should). We'll correct that in a coming release, of course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
