Targeting with the SHKVAL in Black Shark 2

[PanamanianDevil]

Ok, it took me several hours to figure this out but here's my quick start guide. This is how you missile lock using the SHKVAL to kill ground targets withOUT using the Helmet Hud. ( I have no Track IR yet )

Missile Targeting with the Shkval

W + Alt - Turn on Master Arming
O - Uncage Shkval
RShift + O - Turn on IR Laser
5 - Turn on Mapping System (ABRIS)
N - Select Moving Ground Target
Y - Select Outward Stations (outward missiles)
S - Select Burst Length Short / Medium / Long

RAlt + Hat Button - Align the yellow line on the ABRIS (watch the map screen first) and bring it to about the middle of the blue circle (the target area) The end of the yellow line on the ABRIS indicates where your camera (and IR laser) is physically pointing, so you want to point the camera in the target area before searching for targets on the actual tv screen.

RAlt + Hat Button - (now watch the tv screen in the middle) Find your target with the Shkval

= - Zoom in the Camera of the Shkval (optional)

Enter (or designated flight stick button) - Lock the target (when you have a successful lock a "TA" will appear in the SHKVAL screen meaning Target Acquired)

Maneuver the helicopter (while looking through your HUD) and place the HUD missile indicator (a large green circle) over the target lock (indicated by a smaller green circle) and Fire for Effect!

I warn you, this is very addictive and very fun. Watch the TV screen (Shkval) for your rewarding explosion!

Automatic Cannon Targeting with the Shkval

W + Alt - Turn on Master Arming (upper center console)
O - Uncage Shkval
RShift + O - Turn on IR Laser
P - Turn on Automatic Gun Tracking (better performed stationary)
N - Select Moving Ground Target
A - Set Auto Weapons Control Switch to Automatic (C appears on HUD)
C - Select Cannons
LCtrl + C - Select Cannon Round HE / AP (upper center console)
LShift + C - Rate of Fire Setting
S - Weapon Mode Switch Short / Medium / Long
LCtrl + F - Set Weapon System Mode Selector Mov / Fix / Man / Fail / Nav (left lower console) (Note: default is already Mov)
RAlt + Hat Button - Find your target with the Shkval (watch the tv screen in the middle)
= - Zoom in the Camera of the Shkval (optional)
Enter (or designated flight stick button) - Lock the target (when you have a successful lock a "TA" will appear in the SHKVAL screen meaning Target Acquired)
Maneuver the helicopter and line up the target lock (indicated by a small green circle) within the HUDs large rectangle area and Fire for Effect! You now now actually fly through the target area and really mess up the locked target fast!
