I just had a friend of mine try AH's tanks in offline mode. This guy was a M1A1 platoon commader stationed in Germany in the late '80s/early '90s. His biggest issue was how akward the control scheme of GVs is right now. His suggested method for a natural, intuitive and more realistic control scheme was:
Throttle = throttle
Rudder = steering
Joystick = gun traverse and elevate
He felt that the throttle and steering should be done that way, even in the drivers position.
He also felt that there needed to be a method to change speed and turret postion from the commander's cupola. He also agreed with the idea that there should be a turret postion indicator so that the position of the turret relative to the hull could be identified quickly and easily.
Another thing he felt would be vital for proper tank combat was for at least two players to be able to man a vehicle as in bombers now, a driver and a gunner/commander.
HiTech,
Would it be possible to get a setup where you could map joystick/throttle/rudder axis to desired controls without hindering gameplay in other fashions?
Thanks
