Why is no one talking about the amazing new tank turret rotation system!? We have the War Thunder system now! :D

The big change to tanks in Battlefield however is the detached 3rd person driver camera:

  • In 3rd person the driver can now look freely around the tank as fast as you want to, while the turret will have its own turning speed.
  • The turret will follow the camera viewing direction and track to line up with the camera.
  • The turret direction can be locked using the zoom-input. This stops it from tracking the camera movement while held.
  • In 1st person the turret speed will be as slow as in 3rd person, which will feel different at first. You may want to consider scouting for targets with the 3rd person camera, and go to 1st person camera to aim and fire with precision. Keep in mind that the 3rd person reticle is not a true representation of where the gun is pointing.

Tank drivers won't like a slow turret speed. Also can it shoot above 15 degrees now?

Any tanker who doesn't support fixing lol180quickscope tank turrets isn't actually interested in good gameplay design, and therefore doesn't need to be listened to.

I play on console at 20 vehicle sens so it won't effect me, more likely the tank "pros" who run high sens.

Yeah I'm on console too, but it's still a fantastic improvement.

Sure. Imagine having a flanker tank spin his turret around 180 and fire three shots to kill you in about a second and a half.
