Attack Chopper Training Mission

[Azi 0]

I've run a search for this problem and found no answer so maybe someone here can help me.

On the attack chopper training mission, i fly to the hill near the target range and commence my pop ups.

I hear a voice say, for example, "attack Shilka" and a corresponding white box appears around the target. But the gunner hardly ever locks onto the tank, Shilka or APC. it has managed on occasion but it seems to random and not related to any of my key presses. The "lock" command seems to be, by default, the TAB key or the RMB, but neither seems to make a difference.

Please can someone throw some light on what, if anything, i'm doing wrong.

Press F2 and then by command-menu give him the target... I order targets that way as it's easier. But i haven't spotted that kind of problem and i'm not sure that it has any effect to issue your asking... Maybe you gunner skill-level is too low (he can't spot the target so easily as better skilled gunner would), or is there something blocking the line-of-sight like a tree maybe? Are you using hellfire-missile or cannon and not rockets?

Thanks for the reply.

In the tutorial the instructor asks to use hellfires. Being the instructor you'd expect his skill level to be sufficient to see the targets!

I'll try the F2 method of handing of the targets and see what happens.
