Combat
Jesters assistance for combat situations is generally divided into options on the Jester Wheel, whenever not in a high action environment yet, and a smart Context Action for use during situations that require acting quick, such as during a fight.
Context Action
The context command (by default V) allows for intuitive cooperation and exchange between Pilot and WSO based on the following contexts:
- Pave Spike - TGT FIND selected on the Delivery Mode Knob
- Dive Toss - DT or DL selected on the Delivery Mode Knob
- Dogfight - CAGE or BORESIGHT mode
- Beyond Visual Range - other
The context action can change semantics if pressed only momentarily (•), if hold (▄) or if clicked twice (••, double-click).
