Possible bug with Ka-52 chopper

[Acid81 0]

Is the pilot supposed to be able to reload HE cannon ammunition once manual fire is selected, because the readout keeps indicating API type ammo for the gun ?

Did anyone else notice this or im i doing something wrong ?

Yeah once you take over manual fire, you basically become the gunner as well.

Hi all

For most duel use ammunition guns the method of selecting the other ammo is not the default [F] key.

Instead, once that particular weapon muzzle is selected via the Default [F] key

the Ammunition type is selected via the action menu.

I will check it to confirm later.

Kind Regards walker

[R] works as well in some cases I believe. In certain tanks... Or, maybe that thing with the [R] came with the mission/mod.

ctrl+r seems to work in tanks when you are the commander, I think.

Switching to HE rounds in Ka-25 for manual firing

I don't know if this procedure works for all choppers and all AA2 versions, but it works for me with a Ka-25 in Combined Ops.

The sequence (Player as pilot) is-

Select 'Manual fire'> F2> key 6> Select 'Reload HE'

PIC 1: Sel 'Manual fire'..

PIC 2: your ammo type (top right) reads 'AP'.

Hit F2 to select gunner (bott left)..

PIC 3: hit key '6' and select 'Reload HE Rounds'.

(if the Reload option isn't in the list for any reason, click 'More' to expand the list and hopefully get it)

PIC 4: and bingo, your ammo type at top right now reads 'HE' and you're back in the pilots seat spraying the countryside with HE to your hearts desire..:)

PS- the 'F' key cycles gun and rockets

What bugs me is that the "Reload X Rounds" while not in Manual Fire worked before OA. You could tell your AI gunner to load that kind of ammunition off the action menu, but it seems that when OA/CO came, it just didn't work anymore without going Manual Fire or in the gunner seat.
