Problem switching gun views on MAUS, please help.
I went to settings and Tank Controls, then choose a button for PrImary Weapon and another for Secondary Weapon. Main gun works fine, but when I select Secondary Weapon and move the mouse about the turret does not move. How do I get it so that the 75.. gun become the focus for my mouse control?

You have 2 options when using a secondary weapon: "Select secondary weapon" and "Fire from secondary guns". If you bind the intended key to the "select" option, it will lock you to that weapon. If you bind to "Fire from", that gun will fire the secondary weapon.

There is also "Fire from special guns" which I can only guess if for multi-turret tanks, but I would bind it and "Fire from secondary guns" to the same key for ease of use.

I sugest you play around with your controls in the test range for ease of use and picking what you want insted of in the middle of a battle.

As secondary gun without dedicated turret its treated as fixed gun wich can't be moved at all

Oh what!?? So in the Maus I have to aim the turret in main gun mode, then switch to secondary and shoot. That is really not good. Is there a way to change the hit marker (in arcade) so that I can see where the secondary shot will land whilst in turret move mode??

If you read my comment, you can set a key to fire the secondary while in control of the main turret via the "Fire from secondary guns" option. Using the "Select secondary weapon" will lock the turret, don't use that one unless you have a secondary turret.

I have Spacebar set to fire the 75mm, but I cant work out where it will hit as I cant see through it's scope

In controls there is a option that should say “switch to secondary guns” bind that and the one that resets to all guns, it will change your sights to line up with the 75mm.

That is your only option besides locking the turret then. I believe there is 1 custom sight on WT live that may help a bit. But I would sugest just hitting the test range and practicing with the 75mm for a bit. Aiming the 75mm has just become second nature to me and I know to just aim the sight just a bit to the left and it has a fast enough reload that I can adjust the range based on where the previous shot landed at distance.

Generally though, you are either going to be using it at close enough range to track (so really just adjusting to the left), lobing a few smoke shells (no real need to aim much), or just hit the enemy anywhere to distract him.
