How To Use

1) Hop into cockpit.

2) Press Button #9 to start all computers.

3) Press Button #3 to View Targeting Camera.

4) Aim at target using mouse or controller (Rotors are slaved to mouse input by script).

5) Press Button #1 to Launch Missile.

6) Keep your crosshair aimed at the target until a locked-on sound effect is heard (4 short beeps). There are also flashing red lights beside the crosshair to indicate target locked-on.



Additional Notes: Rotor Turret, Vehicle Stabilization & Offset Aiming

1) Use Button #7 to toggle Turret Rotor Safety Lock for moving.

2) Use Button #5 to reduce turret sensitivity and Button #6 to increase sensitivity.

3) Use Toolbar 2 Button #5 to Lower Wheels and Toolbar 2 Button #6 to Heighten Wheels (For Stability).

4) When Wheels are Low enough, use Toolbar 2 Button #7 to Lock Landing Gears to the ground for Maximum Stability. Note: Locking to the ground for the first time may make the Turret unturnable. Don't worry, just Unlock and Lock again if this happens.

5) Use Button #2 to launch missile as Offset Mode. This mode will home to the locked-on point instead of the target's center. This is used to target specific points on a large and slow moving target (e.g. Helicarrier).



Reloading Missiles

1) Very difficult. This tank is not designed to be reloaded.

@Luftwaffles Rotor setups are hard to weld in. You can reload but its extremely difficult. You need to construct the missile separately and then use landing gear to transfer and position exactly above one of the mpunting rotors and lock it. Also you need to load 0.1 uranium ingots to each of the 3 reactors manually by hand.

Thats an issue if this tank cant be reloaded in a timely maner it wont be effective for a ground war or defence against an air raid if you make a sam it should be usable but nice build either way.
