Remap Left and Right arrow keys in ground Vehicles.

Which part of the game is the issue happening in? Multiplayer
Which part of the mode? Conquest
Please select your region Australia
On which server did this happen? any
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) from Beta onwards.
Summarize your bug The left and right arrows seem to be fixed to pan the camera in ground vehicles only. Not in tanks or first person view but other ground vehicles.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? get in quad bike or hover craft and switch to 3rd person then map and try use the arrow keys to only move left and right and not make the camera pan left and right when you turn.
What happens when the bug occurs? when turning left or right in the ground vehicle the camera pans left or right as you turn.
What should be happening instead? you just turn left and right as if you was using a and the d key when you set the arrow keys to this.

The left and right arrows seem to be fixed to pan the camera in ground vehicles, I need to use those to move the vehicles left and right only not the camera too, they work correctly in the tanks and in first person but not other ground vehicles when you switch to 3rd person view.

  • @Menphuesss I downloaded it, I'm having more fun as I use a lot of M5C Bolt, Hovercraft and even LATV4 (to get around). The change for the better was huge. But I understand you, it's their duty to fix this.  it's absurd they haven't changed that yet. 

  • Same problem. 20 years well played by arrows. Battlefield 3,4,5..And...Somebody decided thats enough and after years of gaming I should forget all my skills and learn to play by WASD-layout. So, what if I just cant do that?

    It's a shame. New 'patch' is here, whatever has been fixed here, the arrow key control issues are still there. Sad, sad, sad

    How this is still not fixed since the beta and just completely left out is beyond!

    That is not included the rest of the game's lacking features making it more of a COD experience then BF.

    I am really put off to put anymore time into this game and any future games

    Also @audazsagaz I get it, I really do but why should I have to use a macro software to change something that should not be a problem anyway, also should of been fixed by now. Also, I do not need the software as my keyboard allows to rebind etc 🙂

    There was a problem with Dying Light 2, jump was not working on middle mouse when rebound, developers fixed in less then a week...

    It really, REALLY boggles my mind how this hasn't been fixed yet.

    It's so many things actually...

    LEFT / RIGHT arrow keys in vehicles are hard bound.
    I can't bleed out when downed using the "Jump" key as shown on the screen (I did bind "Jump" to NUMPAD 0), I have to press SPACE instead.
    Weapon sights with multiple scopes can't be changed either by my key, I am forced to press F.

    This should have been fixed 3 months ago, really. Unbelievable.

    @Partybooper I completely agree.

    It’s bizarre and it seems since the cod dev has come on board it’s gone down hill? Possibly and then the lack of BF essence in the game as well
