#Change vehicle scope mechanics slightly

When aquiring a ADS on a enemy player (in a tank mainly). Scoping in whilst the turret is turning locks your aim to where the turret was at that second. Which is a bit jarring and rather annoying if you missclick and can kill you in a CqC scenario e.t.c.

Suggested change: Do a warthunder. Scoping in gives you a scope view, but the reticle inside the scope is "free to move". So the black edges are completely removed. Your camera stays pointed at where you were looking in the scope as the reticle for the tank pulls into view

Hard to explain ill try find a example

when we have to watch in the vid ?

cedar tapir
#

7:30 roughly

#

Mainly shows the reticle moving indipenantly to the camera

elfin acorn
#

so you mean basically, the whole reticle is attached to the scope itself, i.e. there is no sloppy movement like the original tank in WB?

#

oh nvm i see what you mean

#

i like that actually

so

#

what you're saying is

#

flip the roles

#

so now make the green circle stationary and move everything else

#

nty

cedar tapir
#

Other way round

lunar aspen
#

that's what already happens

#

if it's other way around

cedar tapir
lunar aspen
#

which is

cedar tapir
#

You know WT tanking doncha

lunar aspen
#

I don't play War Thunder

#

I tried in 2016

#

nope

#

tried in 2021

#

this time was the Steam version

#

nope

lunar aspen
#

I watched that

#

you have a circle in the middle that shows where you are desiring to aim

cedar tapir
#

Wait

#

Omg

lunar aspen
#

and the crosshair moves to the circle, showing where the aim of the gun is actually at

cedar tapir
#

Forgot wich bit was green lol

#

My bad

lunar aspen
#

mhm

#

so it's opposite to what WB does

cedar tapir
#

Yh you were right the first time my bad

lunar aspen
#

I much prefer the circle showing where the gun is aimed as it allows me to use the crosshair to aim at players

#

the circle then shows where along the gun has moved to

cedar tapir
lunar aspen
#

and because it's somewhat large it doesn't feel like pinpoint accuracy

cedar tapir
#

We are not on the same page

lunar aspen
#

so when spread gets involved... doesn't feel off

cedar tapir
#

Very not on the same page

lunar aspen
#

rewatched and I still fail to see what I am understanding wrong

#

the video shows the circle is locked

#

your camera is locked

#

the reticle with the black border moves

#

it doesn't pan directly to the aim of course, rather moving up and down a bit as it makes its way to where you are trying to aim

#

but it moves around as it adjusts around with sway

#

you're not saying to add sway to tank aim though

cedar tapir
# cedar tapir Very not on the same page

The red cross hair is locked to the camera. Scoping whilst the turret is turning keeps your camera in the same direction you were looking. Instead of stopping turret rotation.

Green circle is where the barrel is aiming currently.

So see player. Scope. Cross hair is INSTANTLY where your point of camera was. Then the green circle comes into bearing.

#

So scoping in whilst the turret is turning wouldn't stop rotation

lunar aspen
#

what

#

the gun moves whether you scope or not

#

so I'm going to throw something out

cedar tapir
lunar aspen
#

and you tell me if this is what you're saying

cedar tapir
#

Hang on just a sec please

#

Lemme get a better explanation

lunar aspen
#

you want the aim of ADS to be focused on where the gun was looking and to lock on and not move

#

while the aim of the gun is not made automatic

#

and YOU control the aim of the gun within that locked view

#

meaning if you want to then start shooting behind you that you would have to unscope, look behind you and then ADS behind you after the gun rotated around

lunar aspen
#

instead of the green circle automatically flowing to the middle of the crosshair

cedar tapir
lunar aspen
#

ok I think I'm confused because it sounds like you're describing something that does happen

#

so from my end...

#

I'm in a tank on WB

#

I suddenly turn 170 degrees and ADS

#

the green circle comes over to the crosshair

cedar tapir
lunar aspen
#

yeah I turn before I ADS

cedar tapir
#

Works fine in ADS

#

Wha

lunar aspen
#

here I'll go record I guess because this could be why there's confusion between the two of us

cedar tapir
#

OK I don't get that.... Not on my end

lunar aspen
#

cause I'm working off the assumption something already happens

#

and trying to figure out the suggestion

#

so either I'm remembering wrong and the suggestion was just something I assumed happened already

#

which sounds like that's what the suggestion is

#

or you've remembererd wrong or had a bug or something

cedar tapir
lunar aspen
#

ok I do see a difference, but the difference is that if you ADS after it flies over super fast

#

whereas if you move while in ADS the gun moves slower

#

I'm not getting it locked

cedar tapir
#

For me its like

lunar aspen
cedar tapir
#

WHAT

#

Breh

lunar aspen
#

on the third one I do you can slightly see the model spaz

cedar tapir
#

What

#

Completely forgets the OG camera view

cedar tapir
#

I wish I had that fast a swing

#

Like....what

#

OK I'm bug reporting this when I get chance

lunar aspen
#

well that explains why I'm so confused on the suggestion

cedar tapir
#

Bro no wonder

#

We were describing 2 different games to each other

#

I bet money its a browser issue

lunar aspen
#

well yeah, here I am working off of how I know the game works, and I'm looking at what the video does different

#

and I see a different suggested action

#

smh

cedar tapir
lunar aspen
#

I can try on browser I guess to see if I get the same result

cedar tapir
#

Yh.

lunar aspen
#

if it is then idk if it can be resolved or not

cedar tapir
#

Darn that's wild tho lol

lunar aspen
#

because browser is... browser

cedar tapir
#

Mm. My fear

lunar aspen
#

they're funny with how the mouse is captured and stuff

lunar aspen
#

aha

#

yes I get it on browser

#

I go 180 degrees or whatever

#

ADS

cedar tapir
#

Darn

lunar aspen
#

and I stop ADS and I'm looking like 5cm to the right/left

cedar tapir
#

Yup

#

Sometimes it still remembers the third person camera when I stop ADSing

lunar aspen
#

I wonder if this is part of why some players have said tanks aren't as good as I say they are

#

cause I've played them in Steam with easy aim control

cedar tapir
#

Yh that's a insane advantage

#

No wonder tanks struggle against RPGs we can't do a 360 flick headshot

#

That's mental

#

You just point and click and your current ZOOMS

lunar aspen
#

yeah I was always confused why players were struggling

#

I thought... you just turn and aim at them

#

but if browser's not had this luxury then it makes sense

cedar tapir
cedar tapir
#

Omg

#

That's insane XD

turbid skiff
#

I was gonna say something smart, but once again i could get in trouble glare

lunar aspen
#

gotta add that to the steam benefits for ?steam now coronalol

#

"tank does not suck"

cedar tapir
cedar tapir
#

Lost for words

#

No wonder in my vehicle rants we butted heads

#

You can flixkshot a tank AHAAA

#

🤯

lunar aspen
#

well that's one benefit to today

#

learned about a difference in tank controls

#

wonder if that's fixable or not

cedar tapir
#

Oh my days that's mind boggerling

cedar tapir
lunar aspen
#

would be worth raising attenion to

#

doubtful if anything can be done for it

#

but better to take the chance

cedar tapir
#

I would but its 00:36 and I'm in bed, mind doing us a favour lol

last gate
#

that happend to the MG turret too

#

when u scope

#

and happend so many times to me with the UFO

lunar aspen
#

oh btw Steam or not doesn't matter for APC

#
