PC controls are pain

2,056 PZLAgencies  22 hours ago

Is it just me or is the PC version of SP just insanely hard to control? On mobile it is really easy but on a PC it's just hell. So can someone explain to me how to make PC more controllable?

    @Michiganstatepolicethe2nd I don't exactly care about WTM so I don't feel much incentive to go digging through controls in a game I hardly ever play in a vehicle type I've never liked.

    @Graingy OH, you cant use the side of your screen? I use where the roll and pitch joystick would be

    @Michiganstatepolicethe2nd ?
    What I’m saying is that flying planes in WTM using the screen centre cursor is terrible.

    PC controls (mouse joystick) are quite a bit easier to use than the on screen joystick in mobile (for precision stuff), although I don't really find one to be harder than the other.

    @Graingy yeah the joysticks SUCK, i meant a cursor option like war thunder mobile. Try it out its pretty neat

    @Michiganstatepolicethe2nd I don’t.
    I believe that’s what it’s on by default, and good god does it work horribly.

    Its 10× easier, since you're fighting and not just flying around like SP1, it just turns the entire screen into a touchpad, like a laptop

    It's because you're used to mobile controls. That's it.
    Personally my experiences with War Thunder Mobile have left me utterly loathing touchscreen joysticks as they give no obvious indication of where, exactly the stick is.

    @PZLAgencies Huh, when I used to use mouse as joystick, I found it better than how it works in other flight sims. Especially compared to XPlane

    @PZLAgencies Is it the joysticks that make it easy? If so then you can buy like an Xbox controller or something and connect that through Bluetooth to use, but other than that I don’t really have a solution…

    Penn Central controls are a pain?
    well, I mean they were like very mismanaged with new York central and the pensy's computers and dispatch crap not being compatable so I'm sure the controls were a pain.
    (also yes you are right, I find it pretty easier to fly aircraft and helicopters in mobile and PC is noticably harder, though I'm sure I'm doing something wrong.)
