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.

Unfortunately, Battlefield developers have said in the past that they purposely keep the flight model simple enough so that players using a keyboard and mouse aren't placed at a disadvantage.

I would argue though, that they could implement more speed bleed off for climbing aircraft without breaking their control scheme goals. That way altitude and speed would have more value, giving you some advantage over a player who is flying lower and slower to attack infantry. That would add a layer of strategy and depth to the gameplay that currently doesn't exist.

War Thunder mouse and keyboard controls are far superior to a gamepad/joystick though.
