Try to get familiar with the Apache as copilot copilot too. This works at the moment only in SP but should also come in MP, if you are flying only with George.
Chasing tanks via FLIR/TV is much safer and better in comparison to command George from the pilot seat to do his job: George does recognize enemy targets, but he refuse often to shoot, target is to far for him, until we are already to close to the target and eat enemy fire then. Thanks George...:-)
Regarding LMC, my first expectation was an automatic following of the target when I have switched on the LMC, but it's "only" a "motion compensation" as the LMC meaning itself. The rest is practice as always.
Keep it up!
