Most tanks I see getting popped on the battlefield havent died because of problems with the module wheel but because thwy have done one of three things

3) drive their malitia tank right into the enimy front line like a fu@#ing hero expecting to go 30/0 because they saw a vet tanker
do so.

I personally thunk if your having problems with the module wheel then you just need more practice. I havent managed to loose a tank yet due to problems with the modual wheel. Get to know your tank and your fit better then youll feel more confident on the front line and be lees likely to panick under fire.

I had the same fit during Chromosome, minus one hardener due to the PG nerf. I'm used to the fit. However, it's quite difficult, as you should know, to be able to accurately hit every module you need when you're getting hammered and trying to drive away.

I suppose it depends on your fit , I.e. if it has a loot of acctive moduals it can be a bit fingery . Im not opposed to assigining mods to hard buttons but iv come to like the wheel and when I fit my load outs I put tge mods in order of acctivation. I do also like tge rush when your getting hammerd and you struggle to get your reps on , make it a bit more immersive think of whar it would be loke to bw inside and scrambling for all the buttons whilst your tank is taking a pounding.

Just go to the forums of any game that uses a weapon wheel, and they'll tell you it's difficult to use. Doubly so for a tank. Just lost another one, because again, a weapon wheel is too hard to use.

Something that needs to also be capable on a DS3 controller and not just a keyboard.

It's CCP's current implementation of it that's screwed up (which might be caused by the screwed up sensitivity CCP gave us). In Chromosome it worked fine but now it'll select things you don't even have highlighted.

Sounds reasonable enough. Might make selecting something quickly a bit more fiddly but unless you have loads and loads of modules, should be alright.

Spkr4theDead Namtar Elite Gallente Federation 193	Posted - 2013.06.24 16:35:00 - [9] - Quote Django Quik wrote: Fair enough but do you have a better solution to enable you to select and use the many modules that can be equipped? Tons of people have suggested being able to assign the number keys to the module slots if a keyboard is being used. Outside of that, increase the dead zone of the modules by a lot if using the wheel, so you don't turn on and shut off everything else in two seconds. I've done that countless times because there's such a tiny amount of area to select the module.

Are you the sole viewer of this thread? No, but the person assumes I've never done something, even though I was playing when you needed a beta code. That's the best tactic when running a cheap forge gun and AV grenades. Crash the car for ~2000 damage, throw AV grenades, charge the forge gun.

I love playing bumper cars and once it starts all the LAVs on the map get into the game. Probably not that fun for the half a million ISK tanks though.
Ryuichi Kakihara Rautaleijona 4	Posted - 2013.06.24 17:56:00 - [23] - Quote Here's a simple fix, once you've gone over what you want on the radial menu and released a button, the radial menu stays in sight showing what you chose and waits for you to press x to acknollage it or o to dissmiss. It'll be the same and easy as hell to use but makes sure you get what you want.

Not easy when you have no-skill Wiyrkomis heading towards you.

Being able to put my four most active modules on 4 compass points on that wheel, and chose which goes where would rock. Make it happen, powers that be.

Schalac 17 Dedicated Individuals Committed to Killing 273	Posted - 2013.06.24 19:46:00 - [27] - Quote D-pad and x to confirm. That is the best way to do it for DS3. If you use a mouse good luck getting to the NE/SE module/defend order unless you move very slowly. So hold middle mouse 'A' or 'D' to select module/order release middle mouse. How CCP though that the uprising radial menu was better than the chrome radial I have no idea.
pegasis prime The Shadow Cavalry Mercenaries DARKSTAR ARMY 321	Posted - 2013.06.24 20:43:00 - [28] - Quote If you really want a good idea but also allows tge wheel to stay make tapping the modual wheel button on what ever your cobfiguration switch between moduals and squair acctivates the last selected modual. Holding down the wheel button will still bring up the wheel .
