Flight sims on computers have always been joystick based. ALWAYS...if u dont have a joystick u had to keyboard it but u did not receive auto targeting or any other kind of help.
tanks and warships will always be keyboard an mouse games..planes will never be that... but herein lies the problem .
IF you fly 200-1000 matches with the keyboard and become good at it...you will have auto aim where the computer will do all the aiming for you...allowing very easy kills..that's fine except it turns off joystick users...your AVID flight sim base.....again THIS IS A FLIGHT SIM>> your Simulating flight..
WG never intended this to be a joystick game....and they either have to remove joysticks from the game or Mouse aiming.....and go with joystick as a primary input....the problem is that BRAND SPANKING new fliers....would be better off knowing u have to have a joystick to be good at the game.....RATHER than asking them to try keyboard flight....because after they fly wwith a keyboard...999 out fo 1000 are quitting...I see new names at tier 1 everyday....none of them stick around....NO one flies above tier VI and NEVER WILL.....no one means...not fighting the same exact flight every match
WG- I BEG absolutely beg you to PAY people off the street $20 American per hour.....stand on the corner....ask random folks to play your game..Let each play 8 hrs ..tell them they can try joystick anytime they want and keyboard anytime....the fact is NEW players WILL NOT want to fly with keyboard....and if u record their play u will see it is EXTREMELY hard for beginners.....the problem then comes in where WG dumbs it down more and more trying ram the square peg in the round hole...that flight Sims in their eyes will be keyboard games...they give mouse users auto targeting....so that it will be easier for them....now its separate matchmaking in tiers 1 and 2.....your problem is you should embrace the joystick...give IT better aiming......and stop flying the plane for people ....that use keyboard...
even worse you have very few that master the keyboard...they get to tier VIII and with mouse aim...and crack shot....they cant miss a target at all....they point and click...dead plane.....this will drive out your avid flight simmer ...the JOYSTICK USER.....everyone who gets to tier 8 or 9 will run into a 262s that with mouse aim cant miss a single shot....and your plane is dead in not even1 second....literally you hear the hits and your dead...insta kill....this mouse aim while intended to help new players... is making skilled players invincible....with computer assisted flying...and auto targeting...they drive out everyone......keyboard play is literally killing the game.....because very few new players stick around to use it.....and the skilled players become invincible with an unfair advantage...driving out frustrated joystick users....if the game doesn't embrace joysticks and shun keyboard and mouse computer assisted flight and aim...it will never grow,.....
I myself will never fly again when warships come...because of the mouse auto targeting...and I want to play with a stick.....it ceases to be a game for an avid flight gamer...when you have to use a keyboard.....As it is now you stand to lose 3/4 of the pop on warships beta launch...and the game will be devoid of players except during clan wars..
this becuz its way way way to hard to learn to fly with a keyboard and no matter how much you try to make it easier....for new players it will be extremely hard to learn...by then..out of frustration they quit....
STOP pushing keyboard and mouse TELL people to buy a joystick...u will NOT grow this game with keyboard and mouse EVER..and again....because of mouse aim..i wont fly any more once I get to warships beta....
this game has two warring control methods....1 the joystick an advantage for new players against new players....2 the keyboard/mouse aim an advantage for the very very few who use it and get good at it...against everyone.
without kicking mouse and keyboard assisted play to the curb....and replacing it with just generic mouse and keyboard controls....with no mouse aim...and no assisted flight....and strongly suggesting joystick play...the game will die..no one will fly .except for the times clan wars comes in to take territory
I have no problem with any other part of your game..yes I think 30 on 30 is better for this game considering the strength of flights....but im sick of mouse aim....SICK OF IT and I enjoy your game for now... I do "ok" an average player.....but I cant fly tier VII and up because of mouse aim.....u can deal with it at lower tiers bccuz not everyone is skilled these r just people who join the game today and quit tomorrow cuz keyboard flight is hard....but their tier assisted flight and mouse aim...is a brick wall....
feel free to bust on me all you want...im outa here when warships comes....im flying the plane myself...id rather be flying against other people not wargamings assisted controls and aim.
