Beta feedback: tank controls
The tank controls for mouse and keyboard needs to be improved. I have no problem with the rotational speed being limited (as opposed to how it was in BF4 for example), but if it the control setup has to be adjusted to work for the slower speed. Currently if you want the tank turret to do a 180 degree turn, you either have to move your mouse very slowly, which just doesn’t come natural, or lift and drag many times until you’ve fully turned around. This isn’t intuitive and just feels like there’s something wrong with the mouse. It’s just frustrating (this of course, wouldn’t be an issue on controller at all).
The logical thing to do here would be to add a leading sight similar to how it’s done in other games like warthunder or world of tanks, that way the mouse sensitivity remains the same while the turret will rotate towards the cursor at its set speed. This also makes sense in that a tank commander would normally be able to see 360 degrees around his tank even with the gun being stationary (and in BF the commander and gunner is the same person).
I used to love playing tanks in the older games, but I just can stand how it’s currently set up in BF6.
