Yea, I said it. Think of all the games you've played. Now all the FPSs. Now how many of those FPSs tried to use turn speed as a balancing mechanism outside of vehicles and set gun emplacements.
For a thought experiment, beyond posting your thoughts on removing turn speed caps, also place a game title you are familiar with, and whether or not it used turn speed caps and how. I don't claim to know everything, so this will be educational for all of us.
TF2
In Team Fortress 2, we have the Scout and the Heavy. Scout is almost twice as fast as Heavy, but both rely on the same basic ability to turn fast and accurately to track their prey, most easily seen when they fight each other. Whomever has greater accuracy with how they turn wins, not the Scout because he can arbitrarily turn faster.
The only turn speed cap comes from a Demoman charging with a shield, but I don't so much see a parallel between that and Dust besides vehicles at top speed may have an issue turning (dur). |

No. It's completely unfair to controller users. |

I am a controller user, and I see it as fair. If they can make bigger or smaller mouse motions, we can move the stick more or less. If nothing else, it's something that should be tested to hell and back while in Beta. |

Haven't tried KBM, yet, but I'm pretty sure it's to balance with controller, and thus needs to stay. And no, controller can't turn as fast or accurately as a KBM no matter how you tweak the settings.
FWIW and since you asked, I've played FPSs for 15+ years, 90% of it with KBM, none with turn caps. |

Maybe instead of removing caps then, we can just have every suit have equal caps? I have yet to download the update, and even then I'm still going to use the DS3, but I can only imagine (quite literally) how being a KB/M Heavy must feel. |
