Question about vehicle gunners

I don't know if anyone has touched on this before, or if I missed it somehow, but any feedback would be appreciated.

Now, in BF1942, being the gunner of a tank (or any vehicle for that matter) was a bitch. The reason, is because the turret moved with the tank. Everytime you line up a shot, the driver would swerve, or move just enough to throw off your shot. Very aggrivating. (maybe I just suck, but it always pissed me off)

I was watching those PS videos again for the millionth trying to figure out how this was handled in PS. Now, its hard to say, but its seems that every time the gunner was aiming at something, the driver could swerve all over the place, and the gunner would stay right on target. The gunner seemed completely independant from the driver.

Anyone help me on this?

My friend used to gun s I drived in halo and he seemed to be doing a damn good job even with me swerving around, a tanks gun in bf1942 will rotate much faster than a car will swerve.

It will probly be like HALO in that the crosshairs stay pointed in the asme direction no matter how much the driver swerves around. Otherwise it'll be near impossible for anyone to hit anything while moving.

Cool. I never played HALO, but I have played BF1942, and I'm sure anyone who has, knows exactly what I'm talking about.

Great info, thanks

Watch some of the videos in the PSU downloads section and you can see for yourself. I think it is like Battlefiled 1942 in part from what I saw but I'm not certain....
