Heads-Up Display Modes 35 - Metaboli

66 Heads-Up Display Modes
In the following two images you can see the launch sequence. At the left, note
we are arriving at the minimum launch distance but we have the pipper in the
correct position, so it’s time to launch the missile. At the right image you can see
how we continuously adjust the pipper after the missile has launched, to keep it
over the targets, as they are mobile units.
Attacking ground targets with rockets should be done with a stable approach to
the target. Remember to activate the laser (“0" key) to get the correct indications
from the pipper (a green indicator will light up). When in launch range, a red
indicator will light up and the outer circle of the pipper will show the slant range
distance.
Air to air attack mode
Select Air-to-Air mode
and check in the
inventory panel that we
have the short range
defense missiles
selected.
To attack with Air-to-Air missiles, it is enough to visually locate the target, lock
on it with the Tab key and stay in range to shoot. The distance to the target is
indicated in two ways: the red warning light below the HUD, which will turn on
when in range, and the outer circle of the pipper (as said before, long lines
mean 1000 m and short ones 250 m).
