Poll: WASD Tank Control

[Kleist]

So, after all the time, is there a chance to the WASD for tanks (vehicle) turrets sometimes?

Maybe with the new vehicles which are created by some member of the RO2 community?

Keep in mind the keyboard discussion has been going on since before the games release. It isn't as if you've all brought up some amazing NEW topic the Devs haven't seen or answered long before this...

In fact, this came up BEFORE release, back when the first tanking preview came out...

WASD is:
--more realistic, reflecting the separate hand/powered vertical and horizontal gun traverse mechanisms.
--necessary to reflect the real-world difficulty of using the coaxial MG against enemy infantry

Good bump Kleist. Still, we may have to count on a mutator for this one too...

So I guess you didn't like my keybinds for keyboard controlled turrets then?

Well then, if we get this, can I please use my joystick for the turret controls? Like using the joystick, but not keyboard for tank controls.

I don't care. Tanks are very poorly implemented as it is now, they either ruin the few good infantry maps or don't feel that fun in the only official tank map. And it's a real shame, because they are very, very well done in a number of ways. What TWI should do is take what they've learned with RO2 and release a spin-off multiplayer focused tank simulator for those that want something more realistic than World of Tanks.

If you don't mind it being a few years old, get Steel Fury if you wan't a good tank sim. With all the mods, there are plenty of vehicles.
