Gunship Gunner Missile Aim Point

[Euthynos]

Here's a rough image showing the aim point for the PAC gunship missile from the pilot's view. I had some trouble keeping it still while I switched seats since I use a joystick with a throttle, so the gunner and pilot images are slightly misaligned horizontally, but it's close enough to see where to aim.

I don't know if the EU gunship is different, I couldn't get it to perch on the edge of the building after I decided to do this.

Edit: The red tinted area is not the entire visible area for the gunner, but rather the reticle area. The gunner actually has quite a lot of visibility, but I couldn't get the images to line up to my satisfaction so I chopped most of it out.

Adding the original screenshots to illustrate the view from each seat of the same area.

So the red is what the second person would see if they climbed in your plane?

[Euthynos]

No, it's the area the pilot should try to center the target in for the gunner to have a decent shot with the missile.

How do you turn down the mouse sensitivity when controlling the tv missile? Are the gunners actions still considered "aircraft" controls?

Are the gunners actions still considered "aircraft" controls?
^^^Good question. Anyone know? I'm curious as well...

[BlackCats]

*Bump* good question :). I have a Logitech MX518 and i can quickly set mouse sensitivity to 'lowest', but it is still hard for me to hit the target..."aircraft" controls?

The further it goes the faster it goes and the less control you have over it. I've gotten somewhat used to it and have gotten pretty good, just use mild adjustments with the mouse and guide her on in ;) .

After some research I've found that the tv missile is controlled by the land controls. Unfortunetly, turning this sensitivity down makes the tank turret move way too slowly for me.

@kenof2142: I will try this, i still need practice :)
@funki: Hmm - if the TV´s are controlled by land controls i won´t touch it then

Thank you for this!

I got my first TV missle-to-chopper kill the other day :D
