Tank operation
It is recommended to assign buttons in the settings to control the engines. Two engines should be simultaneously throttled for acceleration. To turn, you need throttle down the such engine, which way you want to turn.
To control the gun elevation angle on the tank, there are 4 controllable drums. Max gun elevation is 30 degrees, depression is 15 degrees.
Recommended controls:
Channel 1 - Change engine direction: - (minus) Channel 1 - Increase Throttle: [ Channel 1 - Decrease Throttle: " Channel 2 - Change engine direction: + Channel 2 - Increase Throttle: ] Channel 2 - Decrease Throttle: \
