deltahawk2008 Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 Hi all Just for the heck of it, I set up a mission to test the effectiveness of the SPPU gun pods against MOVING soft targets. The logic being these would make an ideal soft target convoy bashing weapon. However, while I can accurately hit static soft targets, I am finding the pods, combined with targeting via the TV/mercury pod (for night), lasing are inaccurate against moving targets, despite being properly locked, lased etc. Anyone have experiences with this? Have I missed a step? Will try autopilot alt 6 and TV acq. Come to think of it, the barrells can depress, but traverse to track a moving target? Any how having a blast in the Toad whilst waiting for the western release of Black Shark. Should be FUN. In a very grognardian, nerdy kind of way! Cheers
Prophet Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 The barrels cant traverse. Usually yawing has provided the best method for me.
Grimes Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 When I use the SPPU pods I tend to attack only from the targets 12 or 6 if they are moving, its the easiest way to get lead on target without having to Yaw as you shoot.
