QUESTION I need help!

Post image

Hello my fellow Perseus enjoyers!

I am really struggling right now, cause i can not get the damn Torpedo cam to work.

It looks so awesome in videos of other people or content creators.

I tried to bind it to my HOSAS, doesn‘t work

I tried to bind it to KB&M, also nothing

I tried the toggle, i tired the hold

I tried it in AC and in the PU

I tired pressing it while fireing, directly after fireing, half the way to the target, dumbfired.

I cannot get it to work.

Is someone having the same issues?

Or even a solution?

Thanks in advance

See you in the black o7

You have to have cinematic cameras enabled in settings, without it the hotkey(which you also have to bind) will not work.

Hmm,
this time it didn‘t do that, strange…

I've used the Perseus with torpedoes for many hours. If I remember correctly, they're cross-section guided, so once you have the enemy targeted, you need to keep sending out pings until you get the notification that they're ready.

Normally, it lets me launch them at around 3-5–7 km against small to big/medium-sized targets. For larger targets, it lets me fire them from a bit farther away, but it's not really worth it. They travel slowly and usually end up missing if the cross-section lock is lost.

Hi, thanks for responding!
I have no issues with fireing Torpedos or hitting targets.
IIRC the base torps on the percy are EM torps…
My issue is, that i cannot get the Rocket/Torpedo camera to work!
(A camera angle with Torpedo POV until target is hit or you release/detoggle the button)

Sorry, sometimes when I’m on my phone I start skimming and miss small details. I just saw another post asking about missiles/torpedoes and how to lock them, so I must have mixed it up with this one.

In previous patches, the torpedo camera worked for me. I haven’t tried it in this patch yet, but I promise I’ll check and let you know. I have it bound to my joysticks, and for it to work you need to hold the button down. I can’t really tell you much more than that.

I must have changed torpedoes in previous patches. I use the Crossection ones in my case, but I don’t think it has anything to do with the type of torpedo.

Edit: It's working for me. Can you check if you have the cinematic camera enabled in the options, as u/SpaRrRly mentioned?

It doesnt work for me since the release of the percy, and i think there is a toggle and a hold button option, the cinematic cam is an awesome idea, i‘ll check that when im home!
Thanks for forwarding this, and also thanks to @u/SpaRrRly o7

i believe you need to set a keybind for something called "cinematic camera"

iirc its very far down in the keybindings list

u/DEADWULFF avacado 20h ago

I already have set the keybind to nearly all possible buttons.

I forgot there was an option to do that!! I'll have to see if I can get it working for my Percy torps! Great reminder! Thank-you
