Fire extinguisher in the Tiger ( Driver Position, HUD on )

[Robert_Molders]

When you are in the driver position and the HUD is activated there are 2 icons that seems some kind of fire extinguishers...How can I use them? What keys I need to set up to operate it/them?

 

Thanks in advance!

When testing a mission of mine. My tank got hit and caught fire. I was the driver at the time and looked around the inside of the tank at the fire. Then I saw ehat appeared to be white smoke and heard extinguisher noises, the crew put the fire out. I did not think to look at the extinguisher hud.

The fire ... can only upload 5mb at a time. 

The smoke\extinguisher gas  resulting and shortly there after I was notified the fire was out. I have also just noticed the second shot does not show any damage or extinguisher information. Maybe it is because I am no longer in the drivers position? I wish I had known at the time that the enter key shows the damage readout to your tank.

The damage readout from a shot I took just now. Just press enter for this info:

For some reason my tank blew up. I guess because I sat idle too long in game while doing this for you  Notice the extinguisher icons turned up! The one with A on it seems to have one charge this time. I am guessing that is the "automatic" one. So maybe the 2 charge one above it is manual.

Whats the extinguisher with A?

It's an automatic extiguisher, it works with a little delay and if it does not i usually turn off the engine (i figured that's how manual extinguishers are activated as well).


Also @[KG]Destaex you were probably sniped in the ammo rack  by something. I noticed that after such heavy hits the crew experiences troubles with hearing or something? or those are my speakers giving up ?

Goose, How do you turn the manual ones on? Are you saying all you have to do for the manual ones is turn off the engine?

See this is why I like clickable cockpits. Cuts out the middle man while making things a bit more realistic as you have to reach for things in cockpit rather than simply tapping a key.

Yeah pretty much. That was my first reaction when i got hit and set on fire in a hairy situation while playing PvP multiplayer and i'm sure i was out of automatic extinguishers very often.

However, keep in mind that i might be wrong it just happend to work every time for me.
