colonel well 0 Posted December 5, 2008 when I play with a soldier in game can't fire in command view , can fire in first view and second view but not in external view , why ? is it a bug in my game or it's the same for your game ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
W0lle 1050 Posted December 5, 2008 Because the command view is, as the name suggests, for commanding units around. You cannot fire your weapon in command view. It's not a bug, it's a feature. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WarriorEagle 0 Posted December 6, 2008 You can fire in command view, just change your fire button to something other than just the left mouse button. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sic-disaster 311 Posted December 6, 2008 The command view as in pressing 'del' and get a huge overview, or just selecting squadmembers and sending them somewhere? I dont know about you guys, but i CAN fire my rifle by pressing ctrl. LMB sends units around, ctrl lets me fire on enemies. Has been that way by default for me, maybe it's a button set-up?

stingfish74 0 Posted December 6, 2008 i remember being able to in old OFP. was thinking about this the other day, how you cant fire in command view in arma. as for using a different key, ive added crtl to my fire in options and tested it, it did not work. you can load, reload, switch weaps, use binocs etc in command view but you cant fire. sounds like a limitation to me since you can do everything else. yes it is fun to fly in command view as well.

[aps]gnat 28 Posted December 6, 2008 as for using a different key, ive added crtl to my fire in options and tested it, it did not work. He means the default keyboard setup. In command view you right click a target. By then pressing the left Ctrl you order the AI Gunner to fire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All-a-Mort 0 Posted December 8, 2008 What would be the point of firing in command view? S'not like you can aim whilst in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
