Binocular on/off

[1./JG42Nephris]

Hi folks,

each time i try to get warmer with TC i stumble over the damn binoc.

I deploy the tank commanders binocular with "b" or "left ctrl+5" by default

 

What is the key to undeploy? I expected the "b" key again.

What is the function to undeploy the binocular.

What ever key you bind - it's not a toggle key. To remove your binocular you have to use the tile key - the one on the left of the 1 key on your regular keyboard.

Hi, thx, but the tile opens the command menu, even with bionculars deployed.

I binded the binoc to B and was seriously expecting it to be a toggle key.

However is there an own command in the key mappig to undeploy the binoc that I could bind or is tile hardcoded?

 

Edit it ...lstrg+tile

 

Thanx again for the hint

I had already asked, but I take advantage of your subject to relaunch the suggestion: add the toggle function to unequip the binoculars.

It would be more logical and simpler. In addition currently, once in 2 I miss the manipulation a bit (I have to release the left Ctrl key too soon) so I put the binoculars away well but I also display the orders panel, it's painful.

It would also be nice to increase the animation speed of deploying / stowing the binoculars.

I think what @THERION meant to say is the default to stow the binoculars is the "Lt Control + Tilde" keys.

Korrekt!

+1000. I am not sure why the animation is so painfully slow, but I feel like I am in a bad LSD induced trip when deploying and stowing my Binocs.

Also when I slowly deploy my Binocs my view always defaults to the road just in front of my tank. Personally, I think the default upon first look through my Binocs should default to level with the horizon and straight ahead from my commander's viewpoint. I know and appreciate the fact that the Devs listened to the community and introduced Binocs as being a very positive step forward, and refining the command to a toggle, correcting the initial viewpoint upon deployment and speeding up the animation of the deployment should complete the Binocs development cycle. Thanks to the Dev Team to hopefully consider making these changes ASAP.

Agreed...

 

I did map Binos to 'B' and storing em to 'N'... I only really play TC... So I'll sort the keys out for planes on the day...

 

But 100% need a toggle key for em... and faster animation... Blokes in slowmo...
