How to adjust controller sensitivity?
Just started playing this game and am using a controller and the sensitivity is WAAAAY too high by default.. Cant figure out how to turn it down at all.

The options are all confusing and i dont see any standard sensitivity controls anywhere.

On a side note i have to also say the ui is confusing and clunky.. There is just way too much information and things being shoved down my throat and i have no idea what anything is.
Some sort of coins and messages trying to get me to buy things with my coins.. I dont even know what these coins are yet and the games trying to make me spend them.
Just calm the ♥♥♥♥ down game!!!!

Well i figured out how to adjust aim sensitivity... I brought it all the way down to 5% and it barely did anything and its still WAY too fast.

Wtf is going on?
Nobody in the world will be able to aim like this.

PC or console?
because if you are on PC then you shouldn't be using a Controller as it will put you at a massive disadvantage

Pc. And there is no such thing as a disadvantage by using controller in this game as far as i can tell since the turret of a tank is tied to a set speed rather then cursor movement.


Aside from what seems to be any ability to set the sensitivity to a decent level i think its fine. I still killed 7 tanks in my first match with the broken sensitivity. I can literally spin the camera around my tank 50 times in 2 seconds its so fast.

its way easier to put your cursor on target, and the amount of keybinds youll need to have to even been mildly competitive at anything other than really low tier will be way too much for a controller

This thread is junk lol came here to find out the answer and it’s just “oh I found it” and then arguing about controller vs mouse and keyboard. War thunder settings are horrendous
