Camera Mode Selector - Moving Targets?

[Ratcatcher]

Hey all,

 

Been recently playing with the Gazelle a lot and trying my best to understand it all.

 

So far I am having trouble engaging a moving target with the TOW's. Having read the guides I have tried selecting ASS ( Asservi ) to lock the target but it doesn't seem to do anthing???

 

Is it me or is this feature not working, any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

The gazelle is using HOT 3 missiles, not TOW ;).

There is no "lock" with the viviane sight, the ASS mode lock the camera in the default forward locking position.

In order to engage a moving target you have to move the crosshair with the vehicle to guide the missile.

Gee, now Im sure my crew chief said they had loaded TOW's, you just can't get the staff these days! :doh:

 

Thanks for the explanation, I can hit OK using them but the manual made it sound as if it tracked automatically, anyhow, thanks again! :thumbup:

When I was trying the moving trucks instant mission, I did notice some auto-tracking when using the thermal mode on the camera and having it in auto-hover + autopilot slaved mode. However I was having an issue that it was either tracking too fast or too slow.

Thanks, I will have a go at that mission and see if I get any joy.

Strictly speaking TOW refers to the BGM71 system, but in fact the acronym "TOW" just means Tube launched Opical Wire guided, so in fact, HOT 3 is also a TOW weapon.

 

It just has Haut Subsonique Optiquemont TeleGuide Tire d'Un Tube (High Subsonic Optical Remote Guided Tube Launched) as it's tortuous acronym - HSOTGTUN or HSORGTL is a bit hard to say!

Of course all that had occured to me, but your explanation is so much more succinct than I could manage...maybe...kind of...:smilewink:
