Question: Co-Pilot/Driver, Insurgency etc...

Post by Dr.Roy.Mustang »

Hummm... Hi, I just want to ask a few mis-features because I couldn't find a clear answer in the manual.

Q1 What is the role of a Co-driver / pilot when it comes to PR. I mean I don't know about driver, but I think the birdy has a infrared camera which by pressing left "fire" it puts a marker on the screen... What is it for? :? For the driver side, is he simply a look-out?

Q2 For insurgency, what is the purpose of a cell phone in the collaborators? So the mortar just falls when we call it on me? (glad collaborators are made arrest or leave him on PR 0.9). So does that mean that the breacher shotgun is now be penalised (from Specialist kit) if fired?

Q3 For the Commander UAV, although there is a minimap, it is still hard to map read "pin point" the exact location of targets onto the M-key map to issue to my SQ's and soldiers... Anyway to improved that? (might be the wrong section to ask)

Anyway, still in the question topic of UAV, when you get out why can't we get back in the UAV bird eye view until it comes back reloaded? What I mean is, once it is sent out, I could only bird eye viewed and cannot give coordinates... If I press the wrong key, I leave the bird eye view = looking back at the HQ trailer... I have wait until it comes back... Generally, did I just wasted a UAV?

So generally saying, I have to rely on memorising all the position of enemies (without a map on the UAV view) and wait until it finishes its flight time! Any suggestions?

For the Co-pilot, he can put laze targets with the FLIR and then CAS can come in and destroy the target. For the Co-driver he is just sitting in the open seat, and yea I guess he could be a look out too.

The cell phone for the collaborators is so that when they are squad leaders they can call in mortars and it just looks cool :p The shotgun is still a tool for arresting collaborators, incase they go onto a ladder or rope.

All I can say about this is that you need to know your map well enough to know what and where you are looking at, I know its hard but I don't think that there is a better solution.

Not really sure on this one, but I know it is a projectile that is fired so if you stop looking and hit the wrong key you are just out of luck, the projectile will have to be reloaded.

If you push caps lock while in the UAV it will bring up the commanders map which allows you to give order, talk to squads, etc. Push caps lock again to exit the map and your back in your UAV. Maybe I misunderstood your issue.

USE UAV BETTER


When your using the UAV and your "M" map at the same time, you can push "N" to zoom in on the "M" map. This zooms you in about 3 times more.

It is way easier to find out where your uav is on the map.

Just push N when you have your map out and UAV deployed.
