Control of Main Gun on SU

[dixieflyer]

Help me out if you would please as I'm obviously having a brain cramp and/or an operator head-space and timing issue. Whenever I get in the SU or ISU assault gun, hop in the gunner's position, and try to take control of the main gun I get nothing. It won't move, I can't fire it, etc.

I do not have this issue with any of the other tanks, just these two.

What am I doing wrong?

I think T is the button to unlock the gun

Thanks Randy, but I've pressed T to take control of the gun, and shift + T to snuggle up to the sight. However, I still cannot fire the gun, move it, etc. This doesn't happen on any other tank in the game for me, German or Soviet.

SU - chassis from KV tank

ISU - chassis from IS tank

 

We have SU 122/ SU152. Just for the clarification

 

start the assault gun with the E

press shift+1 to gunner position (or cycle with Ctrl+C)

press shift+T  to nestle to gun sight

unlock the gun with the T key and you are ready to shoot.

Thanks Voidhunger! I plead a dearth of morning caffeine when I wrote "ISU".

 

I guess I'm not releasing the travel lock? Funny, I never had to do that before. Is this going to be an issue with every tank on the sim now, or just with the SU's? (I haven't played since last year so I'm behind the curve with any new updates, etc.

yes the gun lock is an issue , fixed in the new futur update !  I hope that the resetting to zero of the canon can also be fixed 

 

Yes its annoying. Everytime when you switch to different crew station , gunsight is reset.

In Ferdinand tank destroyed, where you have no distance indication of the gunsight its super annoying.

You have to swith with Shift+T to set target distance and the gun is moving to default position (which is another thing that drives me crazy)

Switch again Shift+T to nestle gunsight, unlock again the main gun a  find the target again.

 

So, when you switch to another station or when you are not in gunsight position -

 

Leave the main gun (turret) at the same place

leave the set distance in the gunsight

Do not lock the main gun

 

PLEASE!

So, we're waiting on an update to fix this?  I just bought several items in the sale last weekend, and when I uploaded everything, I got an update for TC.

The game will keep updating like the airplane games and improving until its perfect, if ever it can be perfect. So improvments will come with time.
