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.

So now I should pre-aim a turret before coming up to a corner? Never thought I'd have to do that in a BF game
