M60: Fire the main gun from commander position

[Txema]

Let me ask two basic questions about SABOW:

What do I have to do to fire the main gun from the commander position in the M60 tank?

And to order the gunner to point the main gun in a given direction from the commander position in the M60 tank?

Thanks for your help !!

I might be mistaken here Txema since I rarely slug it out with other tanks from the TC's position, but I thought I read somewhere it's can be as simple as SFK42's set-up (put mouse on target and click) or more involved by looking through the comanders battlesight, adjusting the range and sending it to the gunner, but I also think you have to change the "Fire Orders" to "fire on my command" or the gunner will just just automatically engage the target. Flashburn and Krabb probably know way more about this, but if they don't pop in here and answer your question soon you can look over these 2 tutorials done by FlashBurn and Krabb at SimHq:

Thank you very much Panzerfaust !

I have had a look at the two tutorials, but I have not found an answer for my questions in them.

Well, in the tutorial done by FlashBurn he states that "F5 allows commander to over ride gunner station and fire main gun", but when I press F5 I go to the driver position...

And when I press "T" to align the main gun and the commander cupola nothing happens...

This mode only on T-62.

Sit to commander.
Manually align commanders cupola to main head. (on angle indicator must be "-')
Than click on right-bottom button on interface twice (select direct control mode), after it, this button must be red.
Enjoy...

Andrey,

Thank you very much for your answer ! Now it works !!

It seems that the correct sequence is:

1) Go to the commander position, inside the tank.

2) Manually align the commanders cupola and the main gun (angle indicator must be "-').

3) Go to the sight view (press V)

4) Go to the Range Finding view (press Z or C)

5) Now, by clicking "5" twice, you can select direct control mode. The control button gets red.


Thanks again... it works great !!
