HiTech - for the Love of whats decent
« on: April 27, 2011, 05:52:48 PM »
 I have been using joystick since i started AH to aim 5" ship gun, field guns and tank gun. 

 Is there any chance of getting this back as an option?

 As of now i cant Gv or use field gun or ship guns.

 Please consider,
 Thank you

It's wasd now to aim 8" guns and SBs - joystick moves the view but not the gun. Really bad system IMO.

its ok the penny will drop sooner or later, and I'm going to hold off learning the new GV/gunning system until it does and gets sorted :aok


I'm seeing plenty of smartarse comments about the digital-only keyboard control system. I wonder how well it would go down if the flight control system for aircraft was changed to a digital-only keyboard control system with all analogue inputs stripped out. my guess is plenty of people with CH sticks would wonder why they didnt just get a gamepad controller instead.

edit: no actually that would be ok! you just map the roll/pitch and rudder to a hatswitch! :rolleyes:

You can control the turrets with the Joystick.

I agree.  The more functions I can map to my joystick/throttle & rudder pedals the better.  Tying to dodge trees with an M3 punching A or D, wondering what gear you are in really reduces the immersion factor. Yes, I know an M3 didn't have a joystick but it didn't have push button steering either. The joystick provides smoother turning than pushing keys on a key board.
I will get use to the new sights but it would be really nice to at least have the option of using the joystick/throttles and rudder pedals to control the vehicles.  Many of us bought high end joysticks so that we didn't have to rely on using the keyboard so much.
Oh jeez I just thought of something. I hope they aren't thinking about changing it so you have to use the keyboard for airplanes too.  U to go up. D to go down. L to turn left. R to turn right.  Nawwwww

 You are right,  after resetting joystick to default mode i can move gun again.

 I still agree with BadHorse though.

i take it some people have never flown with just a keyboard before...you don't know what you missed...moving a tank with the keyboard is much easier.

That's at least in direct fire mode, I'll have to do some experimenting with land and sea fire modes on the big guns which have changed somewhat and it appears do you use the WSAD keys according to the readme.
