+1  As a gv regular, I can live with most of  the changes. I'm asking for the rudder twisty/pedals ability back aswell. People who are saying your turning ability is much better with the A,D/hatswitch new system. Clearly never enjoyed gving in the first place. You should've saw me last night bouncing off hedge rows like a pinball. While navigating the town, being straffed in my m3. My thumb was spent after that LOL.

ZOMG I agree with Ivan on something!  +1,0000000000  Please HTC? :pray

so would it be less gamey if we needed to use dual sticks and a gas pedal to drive the tanks around?

since most tanks are controlled that way, then, ... yes it would more realistic.

Is this DOOM or Aces High!?!?

I won't be in a gv until they add an option to control the steering with the stick.

What a bad move.

I know a guy in game that enjoyed the GVing until the WASD thing.  He is disabled and WASD completely ruins his ability to GV now.  He has 2 fingers on his left hand.  What this patch and update didn't account for was someone with a severe disability.  Much of your day time audience Monday thru Friday are disabled peeps.

 :pray  Please, PLEASE make some sort of adjustment to keep (or map) some of the controls to pedals, stick, & throttle. 

I am already getting used to it.  It doesn't bother me.  While I understand that is was a "business decision", I think it was a bad "business decision" to go to WASD because the disabled are at an even more of a disadvantage in GVs now. 

Having driven some of our military's GVs (USof A), I can assure you that the upgrade did make GViing a bit gamey (as previously mentioned).  I love many of the enhancements and truely enjoy the commander's position as well as the lack of ability to zoom in like before in the turret.  My ONLY problem (personally) is the WASD thing.  I am having a hard time getting past the, "why did they do it?"

The only reason I am posting this is the guy I know doesn't want to cause a problem posting on the forums.  So I thought I should speak up for him.

My wish is the one posted here on this thread.  It is valid.  My wish is to give more options than WASD to map.

I hate to be insensitive, but you can AWSD with one finger.


It's a moot point anyway:

The only thing that will be added is an analog control input to steer. You will be able to use either keys or rudder/stick to turn with. We are not going back to the old system. We will also be adding some display in the commanders position such as speed and gear.

Not fair if you only have one foot or one arm, which I'm sure there are players who are so "disabled" playing now.
