Title: Can we please go back to manually changing gears in GVs.
Post by: 68EZPkns on November 02, 2012, 12:11:37 PM
I wish we could go back to manual transmissions.For some reason when im in Panther it takes it forever to get out of 1st gear.Maybe make it optional.

Check your rudder pedals or twisty stick for unintended input. If the controller is giving rudder (turning the vehicle) input, you'll have issues speeding up. Once at a speed, turning is normal, but when you stand still and give rudder the tank will pivot in place and that's why you can't get out of first gear.

I wish manual or auto was a selectable option. Manual all the way here.

I'd like to go for realism, if it were manual in WWII then should be manual here.

From the usage increase of GVs since the new system has been implemented shows that the players prefer the new system over the old one.

I have the gears mapped to a button on my stick and the pedals are using to control movement.  to be honest with you I dont really know what the difference it, you can still manually shift from one gear to the next or go full automatic.

That's why it should be optional. If you ask me the manual system was a lot better than our current auto-gear shifting system.

I would do anything to go back to manual gears. This auto tranny sucks. I like the rest of the changes they made but the auto tranny should have never happened.

Right... Because xbox controlers have A-S-W-D buttons on them. NOT!

Hmm...switching back to manual transmissions will allow me to sneak up on folks again.  Engine on?  HA!  I just need reverse gear and some patience with a spot of luck. :D

you can just not map any of your joystick for gvs.  using a stick is actually an option, the default is keyboard.

I Like the old and new system but if I am climbing a hill I would like to change the gear's  on my own and I think that is the Biggest complaint right noew is with gear selection...... in a way this is a hard topic..... I have never played WOT and all and before the upgrades HTC gave the gv's I am all Favor for it with the Commander View and so on but with the Gear Selection in Gv's I think I a partial to the old ways... just my opinion but then again I was not used to zooming in with tank optic's

 I was almost exclusively a Tanker until this new transmission showed up. I can't creep forward or move instantly now and I get killed much more and just about stopped GVing. I hate it it is not correct for the tanks we have. If we have to have an automatic transmission give us a tank that had one like the Leopard, M48A-5 M60A-3 or M1-Abrams. At least give us the option of a wonderful standard transmission that response instantly  or the you will be killed soon trying to clime a hill automatic transmission.

I'm not sure what all the fuss is over the auto transmission.  I don't seem to have any issues at all, ever.  If I want to creep ahead I take the tank up to the desired speed and then go "hands off".

Flat terrain, hills, urban, ... no issues. 

I say keep it as it is.

It is correct because it isn't supposed to be modeling an automatic transmission.  It is supposed to be modeling a driver while you are the commander.  The commander doesn't tell the driver "Ok, first gear....now second gear....go to third gear now....put it in fourth now....bit of a slope, back to third gear" and so on.  The commander just tells the driver how fast and were to go.

I won't dispute that our driver isn't very good at selecting the best gear for the task though.

 I will agree that I would like the option but the only real problem I have is the hills.   Just a bit tricky to get the GV to the right speed/fastest speed without shifting up, slowing down and shifting down again.

 Maybe a gear lock option?  When going up a hill stay in 3rd or what have you... :)

I never did find the clutch key on the old system  !
Anyway,,, I posted my configuration for the X-52 in help and training   If your having trouble with what you have, you might want to check it out,  my personal opinion is , the new tranny is better, but you have to learn its strengths and avoid its weaknesses

I was primarily a GV player, and I have to say, I never had any of the problems everyone complains about. I can still climb hills, I accelerate fine, I've never had a problem with getting moving.


It seems to me that its a lot like in real life; if you go strait to 6th gear, obviously you won't accelerate very fast. If you try an climb a hill in 6th, you're obviously going to go nowhere fast.

And in an automatic, you can manually select a different gear for hill climbing.



HTC just provides the tools; the onus is on you to figure out how to use it correctly.

they cant climb steep hills as easy as they could before.  you make it climb on suraces that in real life it would be impossible.

The ability to lock or unlock the gear presently engaged would be useful
