problem with mouse aiming
Hi guys!

i need some advice.

Im using a gaming mouse (Logitech G402) and although i can play fps games with much accuracy, i have big problems with aiming in War Thunder.

specifically if i try to engage enemy tank at some distance, it is such a FaF to try to aim, either the crosshair does not move or it moves more than it is intended to be moved.

any chance you can help me out with regards to any options which needs to be changed, in game or via a txt config file in the game's folder?

any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

mousing pointer movement on those can be changed with the dpi settings.

high for fast movements, fast aiming,
low for slow.....better aiming.

I have a button so I can switch between the 2.

you have everything you need on your mouse.

its not about the mouse.
as i said the dpi on my mouse is at the highest, and one would expect that the slightest movement of the mouse is being transferred into the game, only that is not the case!
the movement of my mouse is not reflected on the screen, and also there is a very annoying mouse acceleration.
it pretty much feels if you are using a £1 mouse to play a fps, even worse.

The crew skills of targeting, keen vision, and range finding have an impact on the ability to be successful at creating hits. The higher these crew skills are the more success you will see. I personally use a lower dpi setting on my mouse for more accuracy and a separate snipe button helps matters while zoomed in on long range firing.

tweak the mouse speed settings, I am sure they have two options; one for zoomed in and one for 3rd person/zoomed out. I set my zoomed in very low and this makes the better once you get used to the amount of mouse movement you need to get it going. For zoomed out I have it higher for snap shots close up
