I can't get the gunpods to work properly, not even with Shkval. I just cycled through the different modes after locking a target but the gun pods just stayed in their raised positions.

 

At least in MP, in SP it usually works fine. Or is it just breaking down randomly?

You need to turn on the laser and shkval if you want to track a point on the ground, I believe.

 

When it's set up right I think a green light come on on the gun panel at the bottom left corner of the front panel.

 

LShift+C to to optionally turn off cut off burst.

 

LCtrl+Space if I recall to select guns.

 

There are also buttons to manually depress and raise the guns but don't recall them.

 

I've never gotten PPTM to work, where they're supposed to stay depressed on the point where you pulled the trigger. Instead I use the PROG mode, I believe I outlined above, which means finding your target ahead of time.

Hi all.

With both Laser and Shkval\Mercury enabled, the PPT Mode works (but it should work with laser ONLY).

Remember this kind of feature works only on vertical plane; thus if you go straight towards the target you can only vary the strafing slant (pitch axis), with a very small tolerance on roll and yaw axis.

 

A good approach could be:

-Place the nose towards the target and go into altitude leveled flight and quite fast (550-600 km\h)

-Select gunpods and set PROG mode; preferably remove the salvo cut-off too

-Activate the Shkval or Mercury tv and enable the Laser

-Lock the target

-When in range press down the trigger and do not release it until the assault is finished

Thus if you go fast, straight and leveled the PPT algorithm will vary the guns angle automatically while you approaches the target until the maximum slope towards the ground is reached and the PPTM will be automatically switched off.
