Using WASD for turrent control like Combined Arms

steve_06-07 · 02-19-2010, 11:53 PM

Time and time again you maybe sneaking up on an enemy tank and it's torrent turns around really fast and kills you. I think that the controls should be more like in Combined Arms, where you use W-A-S-D to control the torrent rotation and gun elevation, that way the DEVS can set different tanks to different speeds on the torrent rotation. For instance, a T-62's torrent would move slower than a more modern MBT. Perhaps the mouse could be set to very low sensitivity so you can make slight corrections if your aiming at a more difficult target.

THE TORRENTS ARE TOO FAST. (P.S. spelled turret)

But yeah, I like the idea of using WASD to control the turret.

yeah but real MBT use joystick for controling they're turret... i have seen LAV25, Leopard C2, Leopard 2A6M turn they're turret and it can go REALY fast, i dont known for other vehicle, but it depend on how much pressure you put on joystick... so WASD would had to be "timed" to make turret turn slow and faster, faster and faster. a LAV25 can do a 360 in less than 10 seconds, and it goes faster for MBT...

i prefer the mouse but maybe you can just lower sensitivity?

Yes Rushn but the problem with that is that people have mouses that can change sensitivity on the fly leading to a 360 degree turret turn in 1 second, you cannot tell people what sensitivity to play at.

By the way OP, it's spelled turret, not torrent or turrent.

Agreed
Cant even say how many times I got killed by a tank in Gaza even though Im behind it. Never expected a turret to turn 180 and look right at me in less than a second, faster than I can duck down...

For a challenger 2 tank, it takes about 9 seconds to do a full rotation

IN game or IRL?

This thread highlights some worthwhile issues. Infantry should have to screen tanks for them to be as immune as they are to close infantry at the moment.

On the other hand, the overpressure from an MBT firing should put you black and white within about 10m and knock you off your feer at about 50.

ASS, anyone?
