smithcorp Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Hi EsimJust wondering if there is any documentation, tutorials or info on gunning with the Centauro? I tried it out in instant action briefly and that tilting reticle stumped me.Any advice on how it all works would be appreciated.smith 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngel Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I can give you a couple of tips.Gunnery Zoom is not obvious. In the list its listed as "Toggle TIS FOV" I think the default key is /. Change this to N to make it comply with other vehicles. Dynamic Lead is done with button 3. Track your target, lase and continue tracking. The range will flash for about a second or so. Once the range stops flashing the lead is ready. Its a bit like the Aslav gunnery where the lead is computed and then stays until its cleared.In the TC's position changing the mag causes a change in the optics system. The screen will blank for a second or so while its moving into place.That's all I can think of for now. If you have any specific question ask away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Retro Posted August 28, 2010 Members Share Posted August 28, 2010 I found that the default mapping of the gunner's view magnification did not work for some reason - I just remapped it (to the same key!) and now it works..Lead computation is also mapped to the middle mouse button (if you're a mouse gunner).While gunnery in the Centauro is quite similar to a MTB one thing that's definately different is the number of ready rounds.. with only about 6 sabot rounds you'd better make sure you do not miss too much (like I'm doing!).. makes for some interesting fights. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Hi and how do I order as commander to load a different ammo type? The only way I found so far is overriding the gunner, changing ammo and giving control back to the gunner. But in this case the loader will allways put the loaded round out of the breach and puts a new one in. and is there a way to change the peri direct to observation mode instead of going to override and then oberservation mode?

Tango29 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Yes, I'd like to get a tutorial on the Centauro as well, please. My life expectancy with it on "Instant Action" can be measured in micro-milliseconds! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skybird03 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I agree, some documentation on the Centauro would be highly appreciated, it is difficult to make sense of it. Must not be tutorials - one, two or three sheets of printable paper already would do the job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatings Yes I was wondering too if it is possible for the commander to order the loader to use different rounds? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted August 28, 2010 Members Share Posted August 28, 2010 It's one of the things why I had second thoughts about releasing the Centauro. You may recall that in mid-July I said I wasn't sure whether we should add "a fifth playable" vehicle to this release but those who participated in the discussion all said that I shouldn't pay attention to the voice of reason.The Centauro is still work in progress - please accept it as that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithcorp Posted August 29, 2010 Author Share Posted August 29, 2010 Sure, the Centauro's a neat bit of kit and I'm keen to try it out more - I understand it's a work in progress, but I'd appreciate some more info on how to use it (as Skybird says, a few pages). Maybe within the community we can get the Wiki article to be a guide. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacbat Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Does the "Controls" list offer any insight? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithcorp Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 Cheers tacbat - and thanks for the wiki entries everyone. It's Observation Mode that had me stumped, with the rotating reticle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
