[BUG REPORT] Tank Driver Sensitivity Bug (Since Beta – Still Unfixed)

TL;DR:
Tank driver sensitivity is completely broken — 1st person view is insanely slow and inconsistent. Gunner view works fine. Issue has existed since beta and still hasn’t been fixed, no setting or DPI change helps. Please fix!

Hi everyone,

I’ve been having a serious issue with tank sensitivity that makes it nearly impossible to play as the tank driver. This bug has been around since the beta and still hasn’t been fixed.

System Details:

Monitor: Samsung Odyssey G5 34" Ultrawide (3440x1440)
Display Mode: Borderless and Fullscreen
Mouse DPI: Tested from 550dpi up to 30,000 DPI
All vehicle sensitivities: From min to max out in settings

The Problem:

When driving a tank in first-person view (driver seat):

The sensitivity is extremely slow, almost unresponsive.
Increasing sensitivity or DPI barely affects it.
Movement speed varies strangely — it’s slightly faster when moving the mouse diagonally, but still very inconsistent and unplayable.

When switching to gunner view, everything works perfectly fine — both first- and third-person sensitivities are normal.

So to summarize:

✅ Gunner view: Works fine
❌ Driver, 1st person: Way too slow and broken

What I’ve Tried:

Changing vehicle and soldier sensitivity settings
Adjusting FOV
Switching between borderless, fullscreen, and windowed modes
Lowering and raising DPI (even up to 30,000)
Restarting and resetting settings

Nothing works — the issue only happens in the 1st-person driver view.

Please Fix This!

Tanks are a big part of the game, and right now, driving them in first-person is basically unplayable on ultrawide setups.

If anyone else has this issue, please reply so EA can see how widespread it is.

Thanks — the rest of the game is great, but this one bug really kills the vehicle experience.

I'm having the exact same issue. EA, there are still players out there who use 1st person view. Please investigate and fix.
Thanks!

Also having this problem, it needs to be addressed asap as it makes driving tanks next to impossible as you cant aim at or hit anything.
Ideally, there needs to be separate sensitivity sliders for 3rd person, first person, and first person (zoomed) modes so players can customise them independently.
If this issue is somehow intended as a balance measure, it needs to be relooked at as you are able to have massively high turn/look speed in third person (which is the more overpowered view mode), yet in first wich has a narrower field of view, and less situational awareness, you cant turn quickly at all.

Same issue. I've played the campaign first, and as soon as you reach the tank-mission, I was diving into the settings and moved all kinds of settings. Somehow they don't work or translate at all. Only the 3rd person camera, while 1st person driver-camera was slooow. Just for turning 90°, I had to lift my mouse at least 3 times.

I'm having the same issue! It's so bad I've been avoiding vehicles.

Same issue here since the beta, the 1st person tank aim sensitivity is easily 1/4 the effective sensitivity of 3rd person, gunner, etc, and this isn't due to the turn speed cap. While there is a Tank Aim Sensitivity option in settings, both 1st and 3rd person are coupled with no way to adjust both to your liking. Tank Aim Sensitivity also maxes out at 2x, and should be increased, as to go beyond 2x requires manually editing the PROFSAVE_profile file.

Unsure if it's related to the bug but in the settings menu there are two Vehicle Mouse Aim Sensitivity sliders, and they appear linked (a change to either one affects the other) but display different values.
The first is under Mouse & Keyboard - Vehicles, the other within the Vehicles - Control Settings subsection.

No! This feels ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ terrible~
If BF6 is like this for the sake of realism! I'd rather refund the game...
I've played almost every Battlefield game, and only BF6 makes me feel like I'm playing Infantry Battlefield.

This needs to be fixed, it's impossible to aim when inside a vehicle. The turret is so slow and aiming settings do not affect this in any way.

This problem makes it nearly impossible for me to drive a tank. How has this not been fixed yet? What was the beta for?
