sounds crazy, but this thing can hit a 10 mile shot if you're careful enough! if it's in your line of fire and it's moving under 50 mph, you can hit it. the controls sound rather complicated, but they're actually pretty simple. ag 1 activates the standard rotator and hinge. use them (Trim and VTOL) to get somewhat close to your target. then deactivate ag 1 and activate ag 2. you willthen be able to control your gun in a uch smaller window, making it much less sensative and easier to control. having the predictor on high is HIGHLY reccomended. (Located in the game quality settings) one last thing. Throttle controls the pistons that immobilize the vehicle for better accuracy. good luck and have fun!
