Basic aiming

In Gunner, HEAT, PC!, the mouse controls the currently selected weapon system, indicated in the lower-left corner of the screen. Players can cycle through available weapons using the square bracket keys [ ]. In exterior views, such as the chase cam and the commander view, the gunner's aim can be directed by right-clicking, although there is no crosshair in these views as gun sights are preferred for aiming.
The primary function of exterior views is to scan surroundings and identify targets, as the HUD lacks enemy markers. Players must rely on visual cues, including the commander view, magnified optics, or thermal sights.
The gun sight is accessed by pressing the Shift key. In this view, aiming the weapon system is achieved by holding the right mouse button and moving the mouse. This system is not a traditional free aim; instead, the mouse acts as a control stick. The distance and direction of mouse movement from the click point influence the aim response speed. Releasing the mouse button or returning it to the original click point stops the aim adjustment.
An arrow below the center of the gun sight indicates aim intensity, which can be toggled off in the Options menu's Input tab once the player is accustomed to the system.
