Tanking a whole new ball game

[waystin2]

Me likey new setup.  Run and gun GV battles will rule the day, and no more 4k+ camp snipers.  Thanks HTC!

Map the W-A-S-D keys to a 4-way switch on your JS or Throttle to move the tank around.  Map the C-V keys for the reticle adjustment.  I don't touch the keyboard except to start or stop the engine.  Works fine and I think it offers more fluid control of the tank as a single fighting machine.

[Shuffler]

LMAO HT gives players more control over a gv  and they whine....pathetic.  You can now drive scan an area and fire....efficiently now.  Again many of you whiners are pathetic.

If they don't agree with you they are whiners..... but really who is the whiner. They are stating their opinion on the game controls. You are attacking the players.


hmmmm

[Wobbly]

What do you think, some major changes in how the game  of tank commander is changing
DHawk

Preferred the old method, I could steer with my pedals leaving my hands free for firing and views on my stick and throttle. I now have to steer and change views with buttons on throttle and use stick buttons for forwards/backwards and firing (still playing around with things).

I will get used to the sights, same for everybody, dont use Panther or Tiger so turning on the axis doesnt bother me.

Cant see the point of the commander position yet, seems to me its like f3 in a plane

Wow, talk about change! It's great if you don't use any input devises other than a key board........................ ....But, will we ever get to reprogram our sticks and throttles back to where they were, ie. steering with rudder?  hope so, for a left handed goob that I am this new set up just isn't going to work.................Gee, most of my hours in this environment is in GV's!!!!!!!!!

Like the A-D tank steering control.
Like W-S speed control.
Like the new sights.
Like the Commander ethos and mouse point.
Not sure about A-D steering for vehicles with steering wheels. I think there should be an analogue input for that.

(is it impossible to roll a Jeep now? on the flat)

Where did you find the mapping of the C-V keys ? ... I looked all over and couldn't find them.

[CAP1]

having not been in the game as yet, i still fail to see how this gives more control than simple joystick movements did? or rudder pedal movements while in gunsight?

 i'm really not trying to be an arse........i'm just kinda confused how something that appears harder is said to be easier.

hmmmm

Still butt hurt from being told that commenting on things you have no knowledge of is ignorant......ehhh?

[Lusche]

I think it can be found under Gunner: Gunsight range increase / decrease

You can also map c-v to an analog axis (for example slider or trim wheels on a X-52)

[Vart69]

OK, I want to recant my last posting. The changes seam to be usable, but, I really would like to be able to steer with a hat switch on my throttle. I did find having to shift from key board annoying (glad that it's gone) and to now have to steer with the key board ONLY is still IMO is unacceptable.

How do you guys feel about being able to fire the main gun from the commanders position now? I've found it a bit easy to aim while on the run from that position, especially when using the zoomed in view.

How is your situational awareness when in gunsite mode...can you maneuver better from the commander's position or gunner?

Think   the circle  on commanders view is  not a sight  but  is a display to show where the  gunsight is looking. also  if you change elevation with the c and  v  keys  it  does  effect the commanders view.  if your close yes you can aim  with it but its  not accurate. If  you can aim with that  thing your a better man than I.

I have all of my  contols mapped to my joy stick. I also turned down the action of the mouse so it does not scroll so fast as before. the wheel on the mouse make for very fine tuning on the gun site.
was testing off line against a tiger, it will be harder to kill one at any great range. the closer the easier to kill one even with a tiger, was firing at a side view.
getting good hits still took more that one hit to kill it.
