HUD in chopper reflects light = oclussion instead of help

[Dreepa 10]

Hey,

I wonder if Im the only one that is annoyed about the usefullness of that "HUD" in the chopper to shoot unguided hydras.

Everytime I try to use it it blocks my view. The target reticule is so ugly and "pixely" that it is more in the way than actually helping to aim.

Then there is the "transparent" glas that is not really so transparent and blocks my view instead of letting me see the enemy ground forces.

How do you aim with hydras?

I am so close to actually putting a little dot on my monitor screen and just remove the hud.

Well glass reflects, that's life, but personally, I rarely ever used an aiming reticle for FFAR's while in a Venom (really the only heli that uses that particular hud). You can usually judge where they are going to land by eye because the HUD isn't always on target either, it's more of a reference. Just hop in the editor, fly into towns and start shooting at bus-stops until you get the hang of it. BTW ACE littlebirds have a black X painted on the glass, so one may find that pretty handy, I know I do.

you can wheel your menu on and off real quick to remind you where the centre is

or else flick on manual fire and spray a little wit hthe miniguns to get used to the aiming point
