How do you control a UAV

[Rodger58 10]

Hi, I am a noobie to this game.

In single player campaign in harvest red how do you control a UAV and can you fire at targets?

Please help.

I dont think you can directly control the UAV in arma2, I think that functionality is being added into the operation arrowhead expansion though.

You can move the flightpath around though so you can look at a specific area. Once youve gone into the UAV terminal, open the map and you should be able to click on an area of the map and the blue UAV waypoints should move to that location. IIRC on razor2 its a U shaped flightpath.

It is possible to fire hellfires from the UAV, Im not sure how to target with it properly though :o

Anything and everything is possible in ARMA2. The UAV is made "active" with the UAV module. To learn how to do it check this video:

There are the wiki as well on most modules but i dont have the link (at work). The video should help the basics though.

You can fire the hellfires at targets. It can be difficult but you can. Hit tab to acquire a target once the UAV is in range to know about it. Make sure the UAV is facing the target or that it has a box with a diamond over it around the target. Select Hellfire and fire. Same concept as in helicopters, planes, tanks, etc.
