Will there be a way to engage two seperate targets with one arm pointed at each? What would be the reduction on gunnery skills?

ah, no, such a system would be hard to make reasonably intuitive and keep the game fair.

Sounds like a job for Zimbu the monkey?

HAHA nice one AoP.

Yeah we did not add anything to allow you to engage two targets with different hardpoints each. That's not saying however that you can't guide a certain number of rockets onto one target and then re-direct the rest onto another Wink

I am not even sure if the Targeting Computer was able to do that. When I read the books it was always like this: Get the 2 cross hairs to cover each other and turn gold and fire at will. I doubt I would be able to handle two cross hairs with a mouse and keyboard only tho Wink

You could do that in the books, yes. As to how you can do that, some people (other than me) like to use two joysticks. I think there's a thread around here somewhere with someone talking about that. Yep, a quick check shows it's only a couple of threads down from this one. Of course adding the feature would be pretty pointless.

Well if you guys did, I would buy 2 joysticks... And I think that's a feature that could be given some more thought...
