Direct Control

Summary

Press the END button on the keyboard to toggle direct control on and off. With direct control you can move one soldier, gun crew, or vehicle. You can also aim and fire weapons.

Use direct control to gain an advantage and take shots your units would not make while under normal control.

To aim, use the arrow keys to move your unit and the mouse to move the targeting reticule.

TIP

Enemy units often run away when you throw a frag grenade at them. If you take direct control, you can “cook” a grenade by holding down the mouse button.

Then, when you release the mouse button, your soldier throws the grenade with the fuse already decreased so that it detonates before the enemy can get away.
