I've always used my sietek co trols for tanking twist to turn I have all the movements programmed to either the throttle or stick, I tried the mouse for a bit but like it much better with my stick controls
At first I didn't like the automatic trans. Either but have gotten used to it , as far as climbing goes, I can't seem to climb as steep a hill as I used to but in reality those tanks
Wouldn't have climbed them Anyway!
For me, the new setup works better but it wasn't any fun re learning the controls, for new players that never new the old system it makes no difference and I doubt they would like the old way if it was switched back,
Adapt, overcome and move on!! As far as your tank moving while trying to fire, shut of your engine to stop and you won't have that problem!
