Talisman Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 Something is wrong with the gunsight on the Tomahawk I think. The horizontal, EA wingspan, adjustment seems very wrong and way off! For example, setting the range to 250 yards and the wingspan to 32 feet gives a huge gap between the horizontal bars that does not match the size of enemy aircraft wingspan at set range. Please could someone else look at this and confirm it is not just me and that it is a real bug. Thanks. Happy landings, Talisman
56RAF_Stickz Posted April 28, 2021 Posted April 28, 2021 I put a bug report in about it 2-3 weeks back on the atag forum - got a response that they would look at it
Talisman Posted April 28, 2021 Author Posted April 28, 2021 Thanks Stickz, nice one. I have only just started to fly this crate and I noticed the gun sight was off wonk. Makes me wonder if anyone uses the gunsight properly, lol. Perhaps no one flies the Tomahawk. Just had my very first flight in MP in the standard early Tomahawk and I have a lot to learn. Looks like I need to learn to manage fuel tanks for a start. Also had to re learn how to use the interface for the game and even select an aircraft and airfield, lol. Tab 7-1, etc, not working for me either, so will have to investigate that. Hate going back to TIR, its total shit without VR when you are used to it, lol. Things I do to fly with a group, lol. I will warn my squad about the gunsight, as we are just about to start a desert campaign in the early Tomahawk Trop. I will be glad when the campaign is over and I can get back to VR. Happy landings, Talisman
56RAF_Stickz Posted April 29, 2021 Posted April 29, 2021 some servers/scenarios have the tab7-1 magic AWACS radar removed - its a bit frustrating if you are the only bomber on your side and it always flags you no matter where you are. Make people work for their kills. 1
Angry_Kitten Posted May 15, 2021 Posted May 15, 2021 I havent figured out how to adjust the gunsights inside the cockpit, dont even know how the convergence in the options/setup menu works, I just use the default and see where bullets go.
FTC_Karaya Posted May 15, 2021 Posted May 15, 2021 You use the "Sight distance" commands, same as are used to set altitude on the bombsights.

Gunsight Usage and Set-up - YouTube SPITFIRE GUNSIGHT TUTORIAL - YouTube IL-2 Sturmovik - Dart's "How to use the Sight as a Rangefinder and setting Convergence" - YouTube Happy landings, Talisman it does help but it raises a question.... If the player sets the convergence in the loadout screen, why is it not conveyed to the planes gunsights automatically? And the manual use the mouse in the cockpit is a joke when your flying the plane, it just goes by tens or hundreds for me. Does help accuracy a tad.
Angry_Kitten Posted May 16, 2021 Posted May 16, 2021 noticed something funny, the hurricane sight is not adjusted to the convergence distance setting selected in the loadout menu. how do i know? when i manually rolled the distance ring, the default setting ( the loadout menu selected range ) had a HE-111 as being at my 228 meters when the game told me it was at a distance of 1.8 miles or km.... Slightly going to cause some misses right? thats what i thought, and suddenly shooting planes got alot better and more enjoyable

You have to adjust the sight manually. 16 minutes ago, pocketshaver said: how do i know? when i manually rolled the distance ring, the default setting ( the loadout menu selected range ) had a HE-111 as being at my 228 meters when the game told me it was at a distance of 1.8 miles or km....

Angry_Kitten Posted May 16, 2021 Posted May 16, 2021 yeah had it manually set, its rather hard to do it with th emouse, and the key binding options sound like im in a tank, or doing something else move sight right move sight left, not a damn help at all when you want to bind them to something
