Changing ammo type as a tank commander

[henrique_rp 10]

Hello folks,

With Arma 2 I used to be able to order the tank Gunner to change the ammo type by selecting the cannon main ammo and then pressing CTRL+R. That would load a Sabot round if HEAT was being used and vice versa. That also worked for the BMP's.

However, now with Operation Arrowhead I can no longer use the shortcut to ask the gunner to change ammo type. Has this feature been removed in this game?

The only solutions are to manually change to the gunner position and change it yourself, which is not practical, or to select your gunner using the "F" keys, then, "6" to go to actions and the try and find the action you want.

This last method is cumbersome as when you're inside a city you'll get lots of "open" and "close doors" command. Like that makes any sense at all :butbut: A few times I ended up requesting my gunner to "eject" because I had moved a little and another "open door" command had appeared where I had the change ammo type command.

And only then request the gunner to load the correct ammo.

So am I doing something wrong, or this shortcut has indeed been removed from Operation Arrowhead?

Thanks! :bounce3:

This is a known bug and has already been reported :) just wait for a fix.

What happens if you turn on manual fire and press R for reload? When in gunner seat R should cycle round types.
