IonicRipper Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I was in a mission earlier and my Shkval got damaged; it was out of action. Its been a while since i flew the Black Shark so I couldn't remember exactly but I think I've seen somewhere that it was possible to move and aim the cannon without the Shkval, using the HUD. Am I mistaken or is it really possible to do so? And if so, how? i5 4590 @ 3.77GHz | GTX 1060 6GB | 16GB 1600MHz DDR3 | 1TB HDD+500GB HDD | Win10 Home X64 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Home Fries Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Sometimes, even if the Shkval is working but I'm too close to track a target I'll just flip the AT (autotrack) switch (on the weapon panel next to the HMS switch) to the down position. This puts the cannon pipper in the center of the HUD and allows manual aiming. This should work for Shkval casualty as well, though if you have other system damage you may want to use the cannon switch to select one of the backup modes instead. -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitch Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I just use the head mounted sight to aim the cannon by prressing down uncage schval button and holding it down while targetting with HMS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulstar Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I can't get Twitch's HMS method to work, the 2A42 just stays centered in the default position. Please help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1Combat Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Hold down the uncage button. If you're not using VR or Track IR then it probably won't be very useful though... In VR you hold the uncage with cannon active and HMS down and the gun shoots where you look. It's pretty sweet :).

BaD CrC Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Switch to manual and the gun will shoot straight so you can use the HUD sight a bit like rockets. Of course you need to have a working HUD. Otherwise, you have to use the short burst/correct/short bust good old method. https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
