GV hell on earth. Listen up HTC.

THis is constructive. First the positive.  I do like the vehicle commanders view concept as it gives us more information about the status of our vehicle. The vehicle maneuvering controls are never gonna be precise enough without the analogue controls. The manual transmission was actually more "realistic" than the new "auto mode" and the manual gave us more control over the vehicle. Now the non perk tanks are put in a much bigger disadvantage without the zoom from the main gun as the perked tanks now have zoon, armor, and weapon advantage. You even added "fog" to the aiming devices of the weakest vehicles(m3 and m8).

There is enough "noise" in the game, and you have added the tank turret sounds on top of the rest which only adds to the fatique factor. You have only added more frustration and fatigue factors to your design. We have spent more money to upgrade our PCs to play this game which cost a lot more than one of the major consoles and you get your monthly fee out of our accounts before we even pay the light bill and you have dumped this crap into our laps. You have put the thought into your subscribers minds of having to consider if we should cut our losses and move on.

Go back thru what you have done and ask yourself does this add to the experience or does this just add to the bs a gamer has to put up with.

You know you can select specific sounds & turn them all the way down to the point where you cant hear them?

It seems like the new system is a love/hate thing. Personally, I love it.

Games go through changes, if you wish to keep playing, adapt.

Yes, I have thanks, but it appears there isn't an adjustment for the turrets.

All the tanks have magnification, the Tiger, Panther and Firefly just have two levels of magnification, one higher than the other tanks.

One thing I've been curious about is the modelling of how a WW2 turned.  What I've wondered was if the new keyboard method of turning the tank isn't in fact more "realistic"?  Did tanks of that era turn by effectively braking or halting one of the treads? The tread was either moving or not, on or off like the current/new key stroke system?

I'm not trying to make a point here I'm honestly curious about how these tanks handled, naturally I would suspect that they were all a little different but I seem to recall that the M4 series was driven with two levers?   :headscratch:

the tank game has improved markedly with the new sounds and sights.  Im still kind of on the fence with awsd but its a minor thing.  Love the turret traversing sounds.

I'm really enjoying the new system. Spent most of the weekend tanking it up - even installed AH on my dual boot Win7 partition (I run it on XP in 800x600 for my headset, but for GVing I boot into Win7 and run it full res on a monitor).

Like any new system it'll probably get a few tweaks. But overall it gets a thumbs up from me :)

Here is my experience with the new GV update in the LW Blue Arena earlier this past week:

Sortie 1: Spawned an M4 at an enemy base. Started up the engines. Put my GV into gear and started to move. Got one shotted by a spawn camper and was put in the tower.

Sortie 2: Immediately respawned again in the same GV. Two seconds pass by as I start my engines. I am one shotted again by another spawn camper before my engine completes its startup.

Quit GVing after that. Flying airplanes is much more satisfying for me than getting spawn camped.
