Summary
Drive and shoot from the commander seat of the LAV-25, BTR-70 and BRDM-2. Third-person mouse aiming with aiming markers, click-to-scope controls and adjustable scope magnification.
Description
Commander Mode lets one player drive an armoured vehicle and operate its main weapons simultaneously from the commander seat.
Control the vehicle with WASD while aiming and firing with the mouse. The third-person camera moves independently of the turret, allowing you to look and aim freely while the gun catches up at its configured traverse speed (Inspired by War Thunder).
Features
- Simultaneous driving, aiming and firing.
-Elevated third-person camera for better visibility.
-White aim circle showing your intended aim point.
- Separate gun marker showing the selected weapon’s actual aim.
- Gradual steering using the vehicle’s configured steering rates.
- Quick right-click to enter the scope; click again to return.
- Hold right mouse for stronger third-person zoom.
- Adjustable scope magnification from 2× to 14×.
- Automatic release of solo control when another player occupies the driver or main gunner seat.

Current release
PC keyboard-and-mouse beta. Validated locally against Arma Reforger 1.8.0.13. Remote-client and dedicated-server multiplayer remain untested; both server and clients must load the mod.
While the mod is loaded, supported commander seats operate the main turret in place of their independent observation sight. F7 toggles the additional driving controls.
Aiming markers are line-of-sight ****. Shell drop, dispersion and moving-target lead still apply.
