Sherman Tank controls - FIXED

[jollyjack]

I can set the Drivers hatch to open, but cannot set the Commander's top hatch, and the machine gun on top (Sherman tank), working with most tanks.

Is this something buggy, i think it worked before 4.505, not anymore; am i a complete fool as usual? It works here:

I would like to help you, but I'm not sure I understood your problem. My English is too bad. ?

It is the same key to open the hatch, regardless of the station.

Remember to look in "Station note" to check the key assigned to it.

 

(I throw these phrases randomly because I'm not sure this is your problem). ?

English only in this part of the forum, please. It's one of the rules of the site.

The "open hatch" keybind should open any hatch when you're occupying the corresponding station. So go to the commander position and use the open hatch command.

To use the commander .50 Cal you use the same keybinds you use to man plane turrets.

It's strange, I tried on my side yesterday, and had no problem opening the hatches for the driver, machinegunner or commander. ?

Follow Up on Sherman Shootings .....  The joystick and the turret aiming works fine.

Now when i tried shooting with the big commander's hatchet machine gun it seems only the mouse can be used for aiming.

That is nearly impossible as movements of that gun are too rough. Is there a fine-tune trim function for the mouse?

 

What i also sort of miss is that you cannot aim and shoot the main gun while driving, on less you use the targeting view (peeping through the mailbox).

Isn't there an arcade view (F4) setting making that possible?
