BHG Guns.

[Knjaz]

What are you fighting? The only time the forward gun is used is when you have a big slow target that is right in front of you. The gun can only shoot in a rectangle that is width of orca and upper half of screen. Plus the projectile is very slow. So you need to be shooting something that is big and slow enough for you to have time to line up the front of the orca on the target, and then will stay there after you fire. At that point you can use a different weapon group for the forward gun, and have crosshairs only for that gun.

Eventually you may be able to use it for jousting but it is very hard. There is usually enough energy to fire 1-2 shots, since you rarely have all 6 of the turrets firing.

You have to use your FC when you're fighting a gunboat with Orca, period. Thats why Orca requires bit more skill, you have to learn how to hit moving GB with FC, and not only in jousting. Otherwise, you're down to 5 turrets with crappy DtE or 5 basics = Screwed. That's also why Turret-steering only mode never really works on it, afaik.

Also, it's fun to kill random jousting bombers/fighters with it, but I managed to kill just few of them this way (although, never really tried that hard. But had a teammate who was doing it quite often)

P.S. And you do not use FC on Orca with a crosshair, ever. (Well, unless target is more then 800m away). Have to learn how to shoot it intuitively.
