Tank problems...

[Farks 0]

Ok, this is problems I've had since I started playing ArmA.

#1: I can't make the gunner switch between ammo types, or between the co-ax and the main gun. It's very annoying with a gunner that uses the co-ax on hard targets. And the tank drill says I change ammo types the same way as when gunning, but there is no ammo changing option in the scroll menu! Or the action menu.

#2: When I am in the commander seat and fire the 50. cal turned in, I turn out for some reason. The most logical explanation would be that I have "fire" and "turn out" both bound to LMB, but I don't!

Thank you for any help!

I think you change ammo  by pressing F as you would if you were the gunner.

I think you have to select gunner, press space and then press F.

#2: You have SLX, don't you?

#2: You have SLX, don't you?

So that's what causing that problem?

No, I'm just asking...

If I remember correctly, its SLX_tanks.pbo or armor, something like that the one which causes that.

Holding spacebar and pressing F will change between then cannon and the machinegun.  In order to change ammo type you have to tell the gunner to reload a different shell type. This can be accomplished in the action menu, I believe.

Thanks for that. I have had this game since the US release and never knew about half those commands.
