4.268 - Pirantha DF90, Commander display unit view changes to gunners when gunner fires main gun.

So.... I don't know if this is intentional or not. I find it kind of weird so I though to ask. Maybe this is automatic process.

 

So basically, Either when Gunner fires maingun or when commander presses fire ready. Display unit view changes to Gunner one quite...  eeer strangely?

 

Situation 1.  Commanders peri is slaved to gun and is on daysight.  -> Gunner looks on thermal and fires  -> commander display unit changes to show what gunner sees on daysight.  -> Commander rams round in and presses fire ready  -> Commanders display unit changes to show from Gunners daysight to Gunners Thermal sight. 

 

Situation 2  Commander peri is not slaved to gun and is looking some other spot on daysight. ->  Gunner uses thermal and fires -> No change.. -> Commander rams round in and presses fire ready. -> His display unit changes to Gunners thermal.     

 

This happens as well with AI Gunner. 

 

Also... Another odd thing is that when you're on commanders place. AI crew yells instructions as if you weren't commander there.   "Telling to load Sabot"    - Though I suspect that this could be beneficial and how it is planned to help Commander to choose right round, as commander may be too busy to keep up whats going while trying to scramble rounds in during engagement.

So it's actually a feature that, if the PSS (TC's panoramic sight system) is in ALIGNED mode, and if the gun goes into loading position, the PSS switches over to show whatever the GSS (gunner's sight system) is using. I guess that's another 'safety feature' so that the TC can keep an eye on his gunner (?). Upon leaving the loading position, the original view should be restored (I've found a bug in that code though, thanks for pointing that out). In the PSS's OBSERVATION mode (ie independend view) nothing should actually change.

Hmm do you mean in multiplayer, that another player occuping the gunner's position hears the (AI) TC screaming commands? Or if you're in the TC position, you mean you hear TC sound samples being played?

Uuuum.  Disregard.  It's been so long that I can't remember. And I am not able to re-produce what I described there. It could have been that I was in 2 positions at once on multiplayer  and heard commander say  Fire, fire heat.  (Only thing that comes to my mind.)  but Ill keep my ears up and see if there actually is problem there that can be re-produced.  Sorry to disturb with that.

 

Thank you. 👍
