need another mode
« on: January 26, 2012, 03:00:11 AM »
currently we have 2 modes for joystick.  airplane and gv mode, I think that now that we have the 88 we should have a 3rd mode for field guns.   that way we can use a joystick to dial in the range like we do in tanks.  of course the selecting of mode should be auto.  I now we can most likely set it up manually but it would be nice if the game would recognize that we are in a field gun and select the field gun automatically like it does for gvs and airplanes.

Yeah ... I didn't try the beta, but I thought the Range / Fuse function would use the same wheel on the joystick I use for the Tank Gun. Couldn't these guns just be set up like tank turrets ???

More technical options are good as they can help us all optimize.
If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.

no need for another mode, just use GV mode for guns. if it doesnt autoswitch to GV mode when you jump in a gun, then it should.
