Manual-Fire Server option

[sgtvor 0]

I'd like to ask that in some future patch or add-on, that "Manual-Fire" is made a server based option.

We all appreciate the realism of the game, and some people would like too take it a step farther. It's not to real to see a cobra pilot flying solo while firing TOWs and his chain gun.

BIS has already removed the option at one point in the games evolution.

While the complete removal was met by massive critisizm, a server based option would leave it up to the server admins to decide how real they want their servers.

Some squads like to practice using real-world tactics, and this would be a very nice option to have on their servers.

Thanks

Agreed - I would rather not have it at all, but as an option a good comprimise for those who want it.

I don't see the problem in it - not having a gunner means the turret can't be turned. As for when the pilot cannot trigger weapons himself, I'd consider that bad helo design if encountered IRL.

As someone said in another thread where this was discussed, (which I recommend reading, but which I don't have the time to look up for you) helos are designed so that the pilot can fire even if the gunner has been shot. (sniper, non-bulletproof glass...)

I said that since the fire command is not a "sideband" command but "waits in line", mf is needed. At least with AI gunner who can't fire on his own or gunner who will wait for your command. (this applies when the radio is busy... fire command was delayed for over 15 seconds. Such could mean death...)
