DUST Search - HAVs noticeably faster with a keyboard

is not causing a decrease in acceleration, and thus acceleration seems always at peak even when turning.

This is not the case with the pad, If you'd like to move forward while leaning the stick right, You'd lose 25% (This is an approximation) of the acceleration.

I hope this will be fixed, because I look silly with a keyboard on a PS3 system and would like the pad to have a balanced chance.

ahh yes ccp knows this, well i hope they do unlike with ds3, with kbm tanking you can give a turn command while giving a accelerate or decelerate command ...which makes using a kbm over ds3 a better choice for extra maneuverability. its been that way from the beginning. they claimed to balance the difference between steering with ds3 and steering with kbm but never did.. what they should do is just make moving the ds3 analog at a angle either backwards or forwards to either side give a double command ..i think tanks should be able to accelerate or decelerate through their turns its just currently its only possible with kbm

the issue doesnt apply to lavs anymore because now on ds3 there is the new command build and you can give accell or decell command while giving turn commands....on ds3 for lavs ..but tanks are still on the old analog movement system which didnt allow that

Though I admit, the difference between if the user is using a keyboard or a pad is hard to assume when they are in LAVs.

I don't think you understand where I'm getting at. If you need to turn left in a HAV, you would hold A + W with a keyboard or A,A,A,A,A while holding W to make a hard turn. Rather than go to the point, spin 45 degrees then move forward. It's not efficient as you'd lose acceleration. With a pad you lose acceleration if you try to mimic this part A + W with a keyboard or A,A,A,A,A while holding W

Ah true, It does seem hard but then I get used to it. It's not a problem for a passive shield tanker in my opinion, since the only module is the shield booster. Edit: Grammar

This perhaps answers that dropships are fast whether you use pad or a keyboard since they both use an acceleration/deceleration switch.
