Mkb and ds3 strafe at the same speed. Mkb doesn't magically get more strafe speed. However what I assume they do get is inherent faster Alternating strafe speed. Basically when you switch from going left to right. Which is not the same thing
Precisely, the KBM only gains an advantage of strafe acceleration when strafeing side to side, however that is not the best way to strafe. Circle strafeing or figure 8 is far better and is much easier to do if you are good with a controller, and it does not gain any benefit from the KBM strafe acceleration. This whole debate about KBM strafeing is just rediculous.
Drop it like its hat.

This whole debate about KBM strafeing is just rediculous. I was going to mention the circle and figure 8.. But I was worried people wouldn't know what I'd be talking about. +1 to you good sir. I agree, the argument is ridiculous.
One could reason that it is balanced, since it is easier to strafe in O or 8 pattern with the controller, but the trade off is a little bit worse aiming with the analog stick (not if you-Śre good of course). On the other side is KBM, with better aiming with the mouse (questionable in dust 514) and not as easy to get best strafe.
Conclusion: Some roles are played better with mouse and keyboard, some are better played with DS3. Which is in fact true. Most good tankers run kbm. This is also why I am trying to adapt and to learn tanking, infantry is just awful with kbm.
