  • wow this was helpful!

    but how do you pan the view? i cant move the camera with my mouse when i want to flip a switch. really annoying.

  • @Killatomate85 I use a device called Track IR, but you can set up keyboard view controls in the settings.

  • Hi, wodo26. First of all, great tutorial. I'd like to know if you are using TrackIR and if so if it's worth buying.

  • Thank you. And yes I'm using TrackIR 4. I've been more than satisfied with its performance. Recently a new version 5 has been released, it's supposed to be even better! Just make sure you get the TrackClip Pro for your Track IR for best experience.

  • What´s the benefit of the trackclip? I mean, correct me if i´m wrong, but it´s just a display to fix the Trackir it to your headphone set... Isn´t it?

    I want to know because i was about to buy version 4 with vector expansion, no trackclip... But now you´ve set me in doubt ;)

  • @PrandtlGlawert Trackclip Pro is a small wired device with 3 diodes. I have Track IR 4 + both the Trackclip and Trackclip Pro. Trackclip pro has significantly better precision, mounts on you headset and is connected by wire. Regular Trackclip mounts on you hat but has reduced precision. At least in my experiance.

  • shift + o

  • @marco77acv how do you do that?

  • Next time turn on u laser. Good video

  • how do you move your aiming thing?

  • @Cockoballs1988

    It's a 30mm cannon, the same type mounted on the BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicle. Plenty of firepower for soft and lightly armored targets.

  • Just a little note here:

    This MIGHT work at this range but as you can see on the 2nd target the cannon shoots over, not at it.

    Activating the laser rangefinder fixes that. It's just one switch on the left an should be included into this tutorial as it allows you to attack stationary (or even moving with MUCH practice) targets even at ranges over 2.5 km with a low to medium burst.

  • @wodo26 Nice tutorial.I'm new to this game (I'm downloading this) and I am trying to get to know some stuff before playing.Great tutorial,but I have 2 questions:1)What is TrackIR? 2)Can you fly any other helicopters besides the Hokum?

  • A thanks to you, good sir. Your tutorial helped me out nearly two years ago when I was still learning the ropes of the Shark. My apologies for the lateness of my gratitude; yet another one of those little things one regrets later on in life.

  • @wodo26 Using the cannon without laser range finder rarely makes sense and I doubt it's even considered as a real-life option.

  • @Killatomate85 press alt+c
