Using the Tank

[clouddancer]

What are the controls for a tank?

look under options.. basically mouse and arrowkeys and the same as in planes,except ammo changing. "open canopy" to unbutton etc. Have fun.

"E" - Start engine
"Cursor Keys" - Movement (the game automatically translates these simple direction commands to pushing pedals, switching friction clutches and changing gears).
"RAlt-C" - Close/open hatch (riding with open hatches is obviously more dangerous).
"LCtrl-C" - Switch to gunner and back to driver seat.
"RAlt-G" - Switch ammunition: Armour Piercing / High Explosive / Machine Gun.
"Ralt ;" "Ralt ." - Adjust gunsight verticaly (range)
"Ralt ," "Ralt /" - Adjust gunsight horizontaly vertical (only on T-34)
"Mouse Wheel" or "LShift - Mouse Wheel" - Zoom in or out
"T" - Set turret to stowed position / Take control over the turret

I joined a game yesterday on the official normal server that had many people in tanks

 

 

It was a lot of fun. I wonder if there would be interest for a "Lazy Sunday Afternoon Tank Battles" kind of event. Unless this was an accident, it seems the population might be there.
