how to lock with choppers?

[cenkcnk 0]

i can not lock targets by pressing tab or rmb, rmb just zooms. i thought it was because of lack of gunner. but i tried as gunner , i got same result. what is wrong?

I noticed the same thing, apparently by default the only way to lock is to HOLD RMB. I found it slightly annoying too.

Hello there

Can this not be altered in the key config? My Keys/buttons are all customised. I cannot check at the moment due to the heat temperatures here.

I tend not to fly, but this would be a definite reason not to if it cannot be altered.

Yeah I finally got into an attack heli (the OPFOR one) as gunner and totally struggled with trying to lock anything. Even when I did (stationary IFRIT), the missles hit about 50m BESIDE it. Surely if this is supposed to be 'futuristic' they would've sorted out how to make missles hit something targeted.

You only can lock vehicles with the Attack chopper as the gunner,the Pilot only fly the Mashine and the gunner dose the rest,like Using the Cannon and Lock on Targets with AT/AA Rockets.

you designate, either by using the command keys (so press 2, then the number of the enemy) as long as the gunner is in your group. or you use the RMB while over the target. i would recomned rebindng this if you have a mouse extra buttons, so zoom dosn't unlock the target

I have that trouble with Titan missile launcher (and maybe other missiles). I can get that second square with the first round of Titan but second time I can get only that target square but not the locking square no matter how hard I try. Maybe related to the OP's problem?

I find it relatively easy to lock onto things with default config :/

I tend to use tab for helos and RMB for launchers. Make sure you're right over the target, if TAB fails for helos try a single right click (not holding it down).
