Bye Bye.   

 i guess u never played a "fps" wasd or up down left right. is a great way to control movement and your joystick uses same input basically for tank control anyway. but its more "commander" like to be able to drive tank from other positions. If we were required to have 2-3 people in the gv to operate it, i'd say old system would be way to go but this would be to difficult to organize and point is moot. and for new tank sights and magnification; i think its great and now long range guns have their long range advantage and it makes gv worth perks. i really only use "hat" to look around in aircraft so i dont use mouse look around but kinda cool feature.

Love the new system...but i would like to be able to use my mouse cursor as a sight again in aircraft (especially Mossy) and Ack  (wirb, osti) role which seems to be impossible if not difficult now.

This isn't a fps shooter.

So you would like to utilize a gamey feature on GVs and airplanes that were not available to those who used these vehicles and planes in real life?

No kidding... I was against it before but now that HTC has removed some of the mouse gunsight function, I wish they would finish the process.

I still think if you're inflight, autohide the cursor after 5s of inactivity. then as soon as you move it an inch or 2 it reappears. would sort out cursor gunsights and still let snail pickup his GV supplies :)
