Tons of problems with my tank's gunner

[Arc Nine 10]

I'm doing the armored fist level but it's completely impossible because of my brain-dead gunner. He seems to believe that infantry with pistols are more dangerous than T-72s and he also believes that using the machine gun on tanks is more effective than using the main gun. He also thinks that "HOLD FIRE" means "UNLEASH A LOAD OF BULLETS ON A DEAD INFANTRYMAN OF YOUR CHOICE"

Anybody know how the hell i can correct all these issues? What especially pisses me off is the fact that he USES A GOD DAMN MACHINEGUN ON A TANK! :confused:

Hi, the best way of have a better control or reply from the AIs on your tank is to swich to the driver's seat and use the tact view, when the AI that takes the commander's seat advise of a T72 or BMP contact... then as driver swich from the M240 to the main gun, the gunner AI will adquire (or should) the armoured contact. Also advance really slow helps alot, this AI is more A than I; much more. Let's C ya

Thx. Problem solved. My AI now uses his good-for-everything gun against the proper target.

seems to be an issue of not knowing the controls rather than the AI, granet the AI isn't that great unless you have WarMod ;) but

as a tank commander do the following:

- highlight your crew with the ~ tilde key

- set your crew to combat, and engage at will

- change the rds for the main gun from Mg to AP rds by holding down the space bar and toggling your weapons it will change the main gun to mg to Ap rds.

- hold down your space bar when looking for targets or hit your tab key which is a default key you'll get a box for the target if they are in range like a missile, your box will change into a star.

hold down your space bar again to tell your gunner to fire.

see more targets?

hit tab and the box will got to the next one.

need specific targets?

then hold down space and hit number 2 or scroll to targets and pick from the list.

another method is as was mentioned above is to be the driver and use tab to pick out tagets, or even be the gunner yourself and use your keys you have setup for movign forward, back and turning to get you around.

controls are crucial in this game, dont know the controls then its best to learn what the defaults do if some arn't obvious enough and then setup your own scheme.
