Problem when playing as tank-commander

[Vicente_cgn 2]

Hi there!

I've used the search-function but didn't came up on a similar topic.

When I'm playing as tank commander I can't lock targets that aren't marked as red. So how I'm supposed to shoot at them?

Example: to tell my gunner to target the three trainig-tanks in the tanktraining mission I have to use the targeting menu and go through 4-5 pages of targets too choose a dummy-tank. That wouldn't be healthy in a real attack, wouldn't it?

And something else that's strange: I placed a M1A1 and a UAZ on Desert Island. Using the TAB-Key to lock the UAZ didn't function. Using the menu doesn't work, too! I never got any answer/reaction from my crew when I ordered them directly to attack the UAZ (marking my crew with F2/F3 first).

Then I got out of the tank and suddenly they answered my orders given before or attacked the UAZ on itself even if I didn't issue any commands. This situation can be recreated every time.

What's wrong here? Hope my explanation isn't too confusing!

BTW I'm using v1.46, don't know if I had these problems before because I haven't played tankcommander for a long time!

Bye,

Hi, did you try a right clic with the mouse ??

With my own kb/mouse config I use the crossair to point a target, right clic and a white square appear to indicate the target are locked.

On OFP go to options > command and check if "reveal target" are set to the second mouse button.

Sorry for my bad english but I am french so...

bye

Hi!

No prob - I'm german, english isn't my mothertongue, too!

Yes, I tried the right mousebutton! It works while using a binocular (to tell my team, that there's an enemy) but as a Tank Commander it's of no use!

Perhaps I just have to do a complete reinstall ... if this doesn't help I'll be back here!

Thanks and bye,

When ordering the crew of your tank, do not mark them with F2/F3 keys. When you have no units marked, you give commands via intercom to the crew of your vehicle.

You should be able to target "white" targets with Right mouse or with menu list 2.

I hope this will help.
