For me using rudders for steering is worse than wasd mapped to my jstick. But I guess for the current commanders view there is no other way.

On balance HT and staff do more good work than bad.

jeeze man.  Do you know how insulting this is? Quit after the first beat down

im sorry too hitech, but i gotta agree. i mean, i like the commander position, and i like the new gunsights for tanks, but why make it more like world of tanks? i gave up WoT for AH ground war, and then i find out that its been made to be just like WoT's? 

and alos buff gunning, please hitech, im begging you, take it back to what it was. it feels like mouse users got screwed over so bad with this setup. this turrets dont move as smoothly as they used too. its all spontaniously, and jumpy.  it was so much better with the old gunning mechanics.

or atleast maybe create a way to choose which type of mechanics we want to use?

this is how I used to drive them so it isn't much of a change for me other than I get a better view and when I jump into my turret it is pointed in the direction I was looking (from the commanders position)....aiming is still something I am working on with the new set up but I'll get there...was never a great GV'er but a little better than I am at present....I do like the ability to control the speed...that was the only issue I used to have with the old system..going ful speed, head out the top looking around and if I didn't drop a gear or two before I jumped into the turret by the time I traversed the turret into position.....I would be going too fast to get a good bead on them...but on the upside....they had to allow for my speed too.

after some more time it wil be like it has been this way since the start.....just takes some time to adapt and overcome....got to have the attitude of ..she'll be right mate to get through sometimes. Something I have forgotten to do lately..as some would have noticed with all my crying

I still don't like the GV changes very much.  I wish I could keep my clipboard open, that I could steer with my joystick (x/y axis) and that I had manual gear selection. 

You can still control what gear your tanks is in with the W and S key's just tap a few times till you're in the gear you want to be in then leave it along and it will continue to chug along in that gear.

i do,

ive spent 6 yrs flying AH with a mouse, got it down to atleast stand a chance against some of the uber sticks.

and buff gunning with a mouse was so smooth. now the turret mechanics just dont feel the same. i dont like it.


so yea, i do mean it, and i'll say it again, mouse users got screwed over in this update.

I love the changes. Of course I never spent much time gving because I had trouble spotting tanks at the distances that you HAD to shot at. My aim also sucked. Now the firing ranges are closer, I can see better, and with the control as they are it is MUCH easier to run and gun!

I of all people know how much "change" sucks but if I can learn to get use to hordes and HOs and skilless fights, a few changes in how the GV world works should be a piece of cake!

I'm fairly certain you can gun bomber EXACTLY as before with a mouse. As before you have to activate it and not use the combo mode of JS and mouse. I.E. you must make your mouse look like it is being used as a JS just like flying.

BaldEagle the clip board will not effect the W. You can leave it the entire time all controls will work as normal except the mouse.
 
Also the vehicles DO down shift when going up hill if they need to. If you don't like them shifting up and then down simply tap w or s when at the RPM and gear you wish.

Last night I was trying to load GV suppies and my turret was swinging to the top left of my screen as I moved the mouse up there to click on load supplies. 

Just tap the "Enter" button and gv supplies magically load.

i stopped using the GV's altogether after the asdw thing came out. but now that they re-enabled using the rudder and joystick again, for me its been a great addition. we were using the tanks the other night and it was alot of fun. the new aspects of the controls bring a fun change to the game.

i like what they have done, and will try to utilize it by having some sort of tank battle in the near future in the AVA!
