Vehicle compasses

[Wizrdwarts]

What's the point? You have a compass in your minimap, and this one just tells you where the front of your vehicle is pointing. You've already got the arrows on your HUD and the minimap icons, has anyone actually used it and found it helpful?

I was actually the same at first

If it is what I think it is, I use it a fair bit, just a quick look now and then

Re: Vehicle compasses

Isn't the white arrow indicate where the second gunner is looking at? Not sure but when I am in first position in a walker and I have someone sitting in the AA seat my arrow is always going bonanza..

Re: Vehicle compasses

One set is for where your turret is facing compared to the front of the vehicle and the other is for the gunner's view.

The transport and gunship have it too but it's really not obvious since it doesn't look anything like the ground vehicle arrows, whereas BF2 had "GUNNER VIEW DIR" written out for you.

It'd be more useful if we didn't have the minimaps instantly available too us and people had to call out bearings and directions.

Yeah, that would be a lot of fun.

I'm sure the vast majority of Battlefield players know how to call out bearings and directions.
