allthumbs 0 Posted October 2, 2008 Is there a lost archive training manual for tank drivers? Man, I suck bad at it. How do I manually make the turret turn and not the tank itself, for starters? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Infam0us 10 Posted October 2, 2008 There are 3 positions in Tank, to move the turret you have to be Gunner. To move it you have to be driver, and to Command it, well you have to be Commander. Hope this helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allthumbs 0 Posted October 2, 2008 I'm in the first tank mission in OFP and I believe I am the commander. Maybe I am trying to do too much? What is the purpose of the command that pops your head out of the tank? (I can't remember the name. Is it lay in/out?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What is the purpose of the command that pops your head out of the tank? (I can't remember the name. Is it lay in/out?) The Commander can tell the driver to move, and tell the gunner where to aim and shoot etc. To aim and shoot yourself you can become the gunner etc.. What you looking for is Turn In/Out ever thought of buying Armed Assault too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allthumbs 0 Posted October 2, 2008 Arma and my old pc don't agree. What is the turn in/out option for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NoRailgunner 0 Posted October 2, 2008 Open and you may catch some bullets with you teeth. Â If you have probs with tank and other things - simply open editor an place it on island. There are many Addons which are tested in Editor-Area. Its easy and you may add some oppenents of your choice. Maybe you could take a look: Biki: OFP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kendo J 1 Posted October 18, 2008 Don't worry about it.... I hate being in tanks, I am an infantry geek really... Like you I have an old PC that can't accept AA but I have been playing OFP since it came out. The thing that keeps this game alive is the mission editor that allows you to make missions to your liking... What I suggest and is suggested above is go to the editor and place a tank, make yourself the commander, driver or gunner and practice in there to get used to it. What I suggest to make you enjoy the game more is download a few addons and mods, these will change your idea of what the original campaign doesn't promote. Get the GRAA mod pack (look in addons and mods completed forum) Get Tonal and BAS helos.... For starters stick to the large mods or addons, small single weapons and units do not give such a big scope of game changing awesomeness.... Kendo also go to the user missions forum for a few cool missions Go to OFPEC.com and find even more cool stuff.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sepe 1 Posted October 18, 2008 For starters stick to the large mods or addons, small single weapons and units do not give such a big scope of game changing awesomeness.... Yes they do, I personally prefer taking an addon here and another there, building my own mod folders like a jigsaw. I don't worship any single addonmaker/studio like so many seem to do. I also think one should play the vanilla game too and not directly move onto the popular mods. Or maybe it's just for nostalgia freaks like me. And I'm not saying one should play all the missions if he/she hates 'em, I do admit that I skipped the plane missions in CWC. Spend a couple of years in the flight sim community and then try playing CWC's warthog missions and you'll understand it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
