Quoted from Jvspin:I needed to turn mine a little past the default to get a consistent feed.
I think you are playing it correctly. However, you are supposed to be able to hit the MAN targets. If the kickout can't reach those targets when the indicator is at the top of the spear, something may need to be adjusted.
Looks like with two more power the VUK makes it now. but I had to turn the kickback all the way up to make it just above the M target on man.
I have something else I guess, looks like my spider and orc popups are showing malfunction in the test menu. Not sure why. They both seem to work in test, but I do notice in game the ORC seems to pop up and look like it registers its own hit maybe and goes back down. The spider doesn't do this but it still shows malfunction for some reason.
