[REL] Is it possible to track airplanes with the next unit cam?

Ashikaga · 02-16-19, 01:53 PM

Hey all. I have tried to "film" an airplane attack on a sub but could not get the in-game camera to follow any of the planes using the next unit function.

I had to revert to the external cam, find the plane and follow it with the cam but sadly it kept eluding me since I could not track it like I can for instance the sub in the next-unit function or a ship (might be aircraft speed related).

So is it possible somehow to include planes in the "next unit/previous unit" cam function ?

I had to pause the game to find a plane with external cam so I could take this screenshot. But following the damn thing was near impossible.

Are there cfg files I can mod to make it possible to track airplanes in flight and during attack?

Any help welcome.

I know this can be done is SH3 but don't know if SH5 does it.
I had a video years ago of Aircraft in GWX done this way.
Still regret Youtube trashed it for me.

You may need to be surfaced and have the Units spotted by Watch Crew to do this.
I don't recall.
