Can I control flack gun?

[wolf74]

Hi, can I control flack gun? Is it possible to fire with gun or only the gunner crew can do it? I don't know as take the control of the gun...Thanks for the aswers....Ciao

F6 theoretically mans the guns, but even if Dieter's being his usual reluctant self, one can achieve same by sighting air target through binoculars, hitting F6, striking space bar until target's not, "out of range." If one's targeted correctly (generally hover the binoc crosshair a bit ABOVE the intended target), the flak gunner(s) will go to work. WARNING: they ain't as good at it as the deck gunners!

SO, to sum up: really YOU don't control the flak gun(s); they control you! BETTER IDEA? avoid bothering...

Yes and you can shoot it yourself. Just walk near it and click on it.

:arrgh!:

It's generally a good idea to avoid battling aircraft. It's a no-win situation usually, either you kill them and receive nothing in return...or they kill you fast.
Well, actually, they're pacifists...

'course, the majority of SH5 aircraft appear to be of the, "toothless" variety prone to be on autopilot, actual pilot enjoying a refreshing nap...

better yet, if one can decrease elevation enough, shoot Dieter

Shoot Dieter twice.
Nothing's as funny as he thinks it is. Especially dereliction of duty :nope:
