160 [SHADR] shadragon Members 72 posts 2,672 battles Report post #1 Posted March 30, 2016 Howdy, Just started playing the US line of carriers (Langley). I know the top down view is standard for a CV, but I had a game where an enemy cruiser captain made a dumb error and I was lined up perfectly for a ram. I was on fire and going to die, but perfectly willing to take him with me. However, I was stuck in top down mode and missed the ram as a result. Is there anyway to reset the top down view to traditional ship view? I looked in settings > controls, but don't see a command to do so. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One button vs 2. had to check if I made a mistake and gave an incorrect control.EDIT2: JK you need to hit 1. The planes selected only works that way if planes have not launched. so either 1+ shift or 1+z Edited March 30, 2016 by DrPenetration Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also works for aircraft too. However, I want to rebind this command to something that isn't shift since I sometimes accidentally change camera views when trying to set way points.

1 [_AFW_] WarAdmiral79 Members 27 posts Report post #7 Posted March 30, 2016 Is there a guide anywhere on the forum that goes thru each ship and the keyboard commands that can be used? Carriers seems to be the most demanding,,controlling the ship,3 squadrons of flying planes and then getting them to function as intended. So many more keys does different functions that are not listed anywhere sometimes you accidently hit one and then wonder what you did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
