I tried holding down control and left clicking. I tried pushing control then left clicking. What am i missing to make this work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I sometimes miss lick the hull instead of that upper icon on an enemy ship when using my Manual Secondaries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1 [PSFL] Pringle477 Members 7 posts 15,897 battles Report post #5 Posted September 10, 2017 I'm still missing something. When i hold control down, It freezes my sights and i don't see a big circle. I cannot move them in binocular mode. Thanks for the help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A icon should appear above it (I think it's a white A). Clicking on the ship won't always work, click on the name above it. With the skill, secondaries only fire when a target is selected, and and only at the selected target. Obviously it has to be in range. Also, the secondaries (unlike the AAA) have limited arcs of fire. So if the target is at a steep angle ahead or astern, the secondaries may not have the angle to fire. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes it does freeze the game the first time I hit it for a few seconds (once it actually crashed it). The circle is the one that shows what ship you're aiming at with the main battery (the crosshair). Not going to be there if you're targeting a different ship with the secondaries.

When i hold control down, It freezes my sights and i don't see a big circle. The sights freezing (IE, you can't look around with the mouse) when you hold down CTRL is normal. You should get a mouse cursor when you do. Click on the target ship while holding down CTRL to designate it. It should show an 'A' icon above the ship when it's designated. When you are within secondary range your secondaries will open fire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1 [PSFL] Pringle477 Members 7 posts 15,897 battles Report post #13 Posted September 10, 2017 Lol, i figured it out. I was not able to target in binocular mode, but when i pulled back on the zoom, i got the curser, and could direct my secondaries to a target. Again, thanks for the help guys. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am! And I fire only my own secondaries, and no one else's, thank you. And no one fires mine but me. What I do with my own secondaries in my own battles is nobody's business but mine.

Even if they're turned off, once you manually select a target, they should automatically become active. At least that's how it works when manually targeting aircraft.
