Elmar Bijlsma Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Click on the smaller reticules on the right side of the bigger Targeting button. These will allow you to target a particular section on a tank. Or use {ALT}+ {1/2/3} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnersman Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 They are very small. There are actually two big cross hairs. One is for area fire and the other is for actually targeting a specific unit or "attack". The ALT-1/2/3 keys will also target turret, hull and tracks/wheels, respectively.

I read earlier someone said there should be 3 little icons near the Attack button? Top = Turret, Middle = Hull and Bottom = tracks. Also there's Alt+1 2 and 3 for Turret, Hull and Tracks respecively (or something like that, I don't remember the post exactly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freeboy Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 right, I actually knew all that, BUT I see nothing, sounds like a famous gaurd? I see only one large recticle and nothing else? if I use ALTPLUS do I use it after I mouse click? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(not the area fire button) No, you press {ALT}+{1} and then your mouse cursor will reflect that you have chosen to target the turret, then click on your victim of choice. When the AI has confirmed your fire order as valid the "Box" on the targeted unit will also reflect this choice.

Freeboy Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 running 12 x 10 resolution and not seeing anything but a recticule ok, will try to look closer, and then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Bijlsma Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 The three reticules are greyed out until you select one of them, so they may be tricky to spot unless you look for them. If you followed my previous guidance then after clicking on your target your tankers should hopefully put holes where you would want them on any target they engage, until you ask your crew to change their aimpoint. That's really all there is to it. It sounds more complicated then it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
