You know how in BF1942 if you control a vehicle you hit 1,2,3,4 etc to switch positions? What I'm asking is can I switch into a dedicated turret position in a vehicle - or more precisely since I'm pretty sure I can't in the current release, is there any intention to implement this in a patch or future product? Well I am a newbie and I am proud to say that I actually managed to use a DJP to teleport to an enemy base and wreak some havoc, get reduced to 3% heatlth, crawl back to the DJP and return to base. I did find a bug where the supply station kept saying I was full on ammo when I was out. Perhaps it's because I chose a non standard weapons loadout? Anyway, I have a friend who's already given up ont he learning curve. I'm trying to climb the mountain. Any tutorials would be great. But I am starting to "see the light" I think. The best thing is I seem to be getting that feeling of immersion that I remember from Frontier and Elite (and no other game since).

Is there a way to control the turret on a vehicle in a "locked view" with the turret? Let me give an example. Some of these tanks seem like they'd be decent in the anti aircraft role. If I go into a 3rd person view I can control the turrets rotation and elevation and fire - but I can't aim from 3rd person. In first person I've found a mode where I can control an aim point on the screen in front of me - but, again, I was hoping to just be able to control the turret and be looking down the gun to fire on adversaries.?.? thanks, Semisphere
