PlayStation auto-aim

[ViolentRumble]

The people who use Playstation to play WT have auto-aim lock capability where they just hold a button down and the lock stays on. They are also able use a keyboard and mouse for their ps4 via an adapter.
Can these players who use keyboard and mouse also equip auto-aim lock and if so, would that be considered an unfair advantage over the other players?

Well we can have custom skins. The ps3 version doesnt have the option I belive. But this game is more fun without aimbot then with aimbot trust me.

Yes, but custom skins is a cosmetic feature that ONLY you can see. Other players can't see your custom skins. They have no function other than to spice the game up for you and only you. However an aimbot takes all the skill (and therefore all the fun) out of the game. The whole learning curve (learning how to aim and how to maneuver) was awesome. When you don't get that the game is just boring following people while holding down right trigger. It's not as fun for us without it either because they have an unfair advantage.

Hold your horses there man !!!

The aimbot isnt like hacks.
There is still a bit of skill needed to play.
How about:
Flying, Learning what type of ammo you need, What type of plane, What type of speed and altitude is needed.
The only thing that changes is the aiming which is the fun part but I dont want an aimbot on Warthunder PC version.

If Gaijin thinks it better let them do it. If the notice it is not they will change it.

True, but learning how to choose your ammo and all that can be done with a guide. It's just knowledge, no skills.

Wow, didn't expect too see so many comments when I got back but cool anyway.
It's not about the age of the player because we know they come from all age groups for a range of reasons from ease of setup and maintenance to running costs, even though they are getting more expensive these days. Some use them because that's what they're used to and others use them because some games are console exclusive. But anyway back to the auto lock..

The reason I mention it was yesterday I went up against a console player who decided to use the BnZ tactic, and normally this doesn't worry me because BnZ players are really easy to evade, speed being there worst enemy. I always lead them astray towards the ground, throw them off their line of attack with what I call I side step for loss of a better word. Long story short, I usually end up evading BnZ players and counter attack, even the good ones.

But what was different about this player was no matter what evasive tactics I used I could not shake this player, wide scissor rolls or vertical spirals, nothing worked he was stuck on my tail the whole time until he was able to knock me out, not once but on three separate occasions.
It just made me think this player was different from the other console and pc players and that's why I posted. To see if was possible and to see what you guys think.

Did I take a screenie? No, I was too busy trying to evade him before being knocked out.

So did he tell you that he is using ps4?

[ViolentRumble]

No, the asterix to the left of his name indicated he was a console player.. unless he was just pretending to be thumbs-only. And I could be wrong but I don't think it's available on PS3 or xbone.

I also use the term "he" because we all know females in action games are rare like the mythical unicorn. << I'll probably burn for this last comment

[SilentHorizon]

ah ok, i didn't know the asterix meant that.

and no it's not on ps3.

[ViolentRumble]

haha now that you know you will start hunting them down. I do it to teach them a lesson - this is a pc world so fear my wrath grrr!

In all seriousness though I like the cross-platform thing, I've been day dreaming about it for years. There were always arguments about who were the better gamers and this how we find out, the results are suprising and console players are better than I gave them credit for.

First of all thank you, now i can hunt console gamers.
Second, the reason he stayed on your tail - his auto-aim could well have helped him while at high speed, dont know for sure though.
And finally, you dont have to give them credit, we all know PC gamers are far superior to our console friends (unless your saying that to humor them a bit).

[ViolentRumble]

It's true, we are superior in every way... for Spartaaaa!!!

I had bit of a google and found some interesting info. Short story is they seem to need all the help they can get, and they are using it.

First up a ps4 player commenting on the auto lock button on Reddit -

"Made it much easier when I was playing as I had trouble aiming, so I hit that button and just became a homing missile."
http://www.reddit.com/r/Warthunder/comments/27c4av/are_the_people_with_asterisks_before_their_names/chzxyma

Second is this link showing the controller layout and the "Tracking camera - Enemy" button.
http://www.gavinshoebridge.com/news/war-thunder-the-world-war-ii-multi-player-for-ps4/

And this one just showing some more of the game layout, hangar and what I found interesting was the way the crew skills are with Engine Guru, Crack Shot etc.

My question is, where is my dirty-rotten-auto-cheat-give-me-a-lock button?
