Aiming Artillery with Mouse-Driven Head Aiming

Activating Mouse Aiming

After opening the scope view, press H to activate remote head aiming. This interface allows you to guide your cannon smoothly using standard mouse movements instead of manually adjusting physical controls. As you move your mouse across the view, the targeting crosshair shifts toward your desired point of impact, commanding the cannon mount to adjust its angle accordingly.

Reading the Green Muzzle Reticle

Because heavy cannon barrels take time to physically rotate and elevate, the targeting crosshair and the barrel's actual orientation will not always match instantly. Look for the green reticle on your screen overlay, which indicates the true direction of the cannon muzzle in real time.

If your artillery setup uses automated gear mechanisms to turn the mount or turret, head aiming pauses automatically during mechanical gear rotation to prevent input conflicts, resuming smooth mouse guidance as soon as the gears stop.
