Right from the Combined Arms manual, here is what it says... I was curious too after seeing your post.

 

From the Special tab, you have additional options from the embedded CA tab.

 

These include:

 

Compute Firing Solution. When a target is locked, this dashed circle icon indicate proper lead to hit the target. Place the aiming symbology over this icon to increase your chances of a hit. This is true when engaging both ground and air units with guns/cannon.

 

Platform Shake. As the vehicle rolls over uneven ground, the view will shake and move accordingly. When not selected, aiming weapons is much easier when the vehicle is moving. Having this turned off best represents weapon stabilization on modern tanks and IFVs.

 

Target Info. When a target is locked, its identity and range is displayed in the lower left corner of the ground unit HUD.

 

Fixed Unit Body. When enabled, the circular compass rotates to indicate heading facing of the hull.

 

Fixed Unit Turret. When enabled, the circular compass rotates to indicate heading facing of the selected turret.

 

Fixed Compass Scale. Compass indicator will remained fixed with north at top, but hull and turret indications will rotate according to hull heading and turret alignment according to hull.

 

Hope that helps!

thanks ;)

but, Automatic Trasmission?

 

 

All the vehicles now have automatic gearboxes -

R = reverse

N = neutral

D = drive

 

check the interface

 

(before 1.2.4 they had manual shift gears)

ok ;)

The automatic transmission makes it so much easier to drive vehicles now!

 

It was a little difficult to judge the correct gear before because there isn't a tachometer and the engine sound never actually corresponded to the selected gear. Now we just need a good chase cam.

Yes vensent..in some ways the auto trans is a good thing. However i use to like shooting on the move (harder for them to hit me!) and as a extra bonus the smoke issue of not being able to see your round at point of impact is not a issue because you move through the smoke, the vis is good. But the auto trans is all or nouthing..not a good thing all the time..

I agree that the Auto Trans makes it easier to drive the vehicle, but I did like the manual trans when trying to maintain a constant slow speed, especially when traveling downhill. I was able to kick it in a low gear and maintain my speed, now I am mashing on the brakes. ;-) Either way, very much enjoying Combined Arms!
