Switching positions in armor (tank)

[CANavar 0]

Hello All,

I did a search but couldnt find an answer for this. Is there a way I can assign a key to switch positions (commander, gunner, driver) in a tank.

Sometimes AI drives me crazy and I prefer to do the job myself and it is really not very practical to roll down the menu to find "Switch to" options each time. Can I assign a key for these?

If there is not a way to do it, what are some of the things I can do to help an AI driver advance in a straight line without doing zigzags or stay on the road when I put a waypoint? I know that setting combat mode to "safe" helps a bit. Any other tips? Thanks

After spending some time I realized that AI is not that bad, on the contrary, quite good in following the roads once you set it correctly.

Let's say you are the tank commander. Here are the three important things to remember:

1) Set the combat mode of tank crew to "safe"

2) Turn out ! When I turn in, tank crew automatically switch to danger and setting combat mode to safe doesnt work

3) Start on the road, open your map and mark the the target road position.

If you do these things properly, you will see that driver of the tank will follow the road without doing any zigzags. You can start from one end of an island and end up in the other end without getting out of road. Amazing !

I cannot tell you how much I enjoy watching a convoy or simply my vehicle travel like this using command camera. Very immersive...

A great game with great mods (like FFUR) !

A nice little self-revelation there, mate. I figured that one out waaaaay back. Glad you like the game, and welcome to the forums!

Hey Cameron,

I've been a fan of OFP since its release but in recent years almost forgot about it. Thanks to great mod community, it is like a new game now and I am back
