How to target Helicopter's weapons

[Tanker 0]

Is there a targetting reticle for the MGs and rockets for the helicopter in the Helicopter Showcase in Arma 3? What is used to judge where the ordnance will impact the ground?

Use experience! In real life, i'm told pilots will stick tape or blu tack to the windshield or use a marker pen. :)

dude, adjust, or use a tape.

Shoot some rounds, look at the impact, and use that intel...

Use the crosshair(s) as a starting point, and if you're not sure as to the amount of offset, then try to come in at an angle where you should be able to see the points of impact without them being blocked visually by your own helicopter's dashboard and nose.

So to not create a new thread for a simple question... How do I lock on helicopters with my RPG Launcher/AA missile? I shot 4 rockets at a heli yesterday, only 1 locked on to it and tracked it (but still missed).

Tried using the TAB key?
