The driving controls for ground vehicles with a control seem very clunky, anf figgity regardless for AFV or LFV, I am pretty used to world of tanks. It would be good if they had a simple reverse and forward, and a left turn right turn, instead of fumbling with a joystick, I should be able to use the simple arrow buttons for driving, left right forward, back.
I am not saying that they should all be perfect in speed, acceleration (or turret speed in heavies), but they just seem horrible to drive, responding too much or too little. I do drive around in a real life car all the time,, and I find it inffinatly easier than driving one of these. The light one seems to turn too fast, and spins and flys around everywhere.
Also the main gun on a heavy tank should be able to go first person, it wouldn't be overpowering because the trade-back would be limited viability (which adds a bit of realism, can't focus on everything at once)
I am also experienced with vehicles in halo, they dont seem anywhere near as hard to drive as these things, warthog or scorpion tank, even the blue tank with the barrage weapon that I have to predict trajectory that I havent touched in months seems easier to do then the lot of stuff currently in this game.
People being able to just pick up the game and be used to it would help with draw and retention, I don't expect everyone to be a ace going in, but just not trying to control a vehicle with what seems to be now instead of a stearingwheel but a confusing series of knobs and leavers.
If driving controls were much more like the first person walking it would be a godsend.
I haven't tried with keyboard and mouse. Is it somehow possible to do that, and give tanks the same controls as world of tanks? |

Yea I figure things will change in the future, being this is a closed beta (not open), but as it is, having tried vehicles every other weekend for a while they still seem to be clunky and hard to drive.

I think the issue is "feel" there isn't any. The LAV breaks grip far too easily some times, yet others it sticks when you want it to let go. Feedback is not great and the drive is dislocated from terrain or at least that's how it feels. The HAV is easier to drive in 1st person (as is LAV) but then you lose the intel of what's around you, which when acting as pilot and main gunner makes 3rd person the way to go. You can manoeuvre and fire. There is definitely work to do |

I feel that they should include 'need for speed' remap where R2 I forward and L2 is back. Feels so much more like a car and is much more smooth! |
