Unable to aim with Xbox 360 controller

[Tinieblo]

I spent a lot of time trying to configure the controller, but it is impossible.
When you think you control the plane with the controller ... Aim is impossible!
With zoom view aim is impossible!!!!
Some control setup?

A simple Immelmann maneuver is a madness whith mouse control!

Mayday, Mayday!!!!

I have trouble aiming with the controller also but I can still shoot down planes. Just get closer before you open-up on them. Also map the reload button to something else because I used to hate being in a dog fight and pressing down on the left stick and having to reload my guns before I could fire again. It did give me some practice in getting closer to the target or evading enemy planes.

why the hell did you using xbox controller for war thunder: it's a only mouse and joystick.

well it is usable for 360 controller but it just really isnt meant for it. but honeslt ymouse and keyboard are the way to go

Because the option is there to use a controller. I use a Nostromo n52 Control Pad, too. There's more to gaming than just mouse and joystick in the 21st Century. I use a webcam to track my head movements so I can look around in the game - gosh, is THAT allowed or do you object to things like that too?

One example:
Immelmann maneauver is much more easy to execute with xbox controller than with mouse. Almost for me, when i'm moving down, and down and down the mouse, I lost control of the plane position.

But aiming in zoom view... impossible!
Any suggestions controller configuration?

Thanks!

the problem i can see that ur having is that u are not used to actually have to fly the plane ....mouse aim basically does all the work for u, but with a controler or HOTAS system u have to fly the plane to line the kill up ...not just hold the mouse in a certain direction ..

change the sensitivity in zoom....same thing if your having troubles with maneuvers, lower them all the way and then increase until the plane is just, just under control at the hardest g-load....

[Tinieblo]

change the sensitivity in zoom.... ?
I've seen this option in view options.
I set the option to a minimum. But it seems to have no effect on yaw axis.
Any idea?

Thanks!

[squishypitbull]

no the yaw sensitivity is iin the controls section

[Erosinnin]

this thread = get a joystick or use mouse/keyboard
controllers are a bad idea for this game
they can work BUT it is not the best choice by far

[MONONOKE]

i have an issue with the YAW control always centering, it makes it impossible to line up shots.

[squishypitbull]

thats cause its going back to neutral. Turn the yaw control down all the way but keep in mind if you are using yaw you need to hold it in order for the plane to yaw.

[MONONOKE]

gross, not how yaw on an aircraft works in RL but whatever. it is how you sweep the plane to slightly change your heading

Yeah well sadly war thunder is a mouse and keyboard game that lets the users that play with those controls do amazing things that even in a "realistic" game mode they would never be able to do...But they have to cater to that crowd because.....money. I personally think that M and K users should be locked to arcade but thats never gonna happen. I personally cant use the M and K controls because frankly its ridiculous....but its much easier. Basically point and click and let the AI pilot fly the thing for you. I used a HOTAS system before but its not worth the aggravation. Once you get used to a controller you can actually outfly any M and K user with ease since they dont ahve the fine control you have but its takes ALOT of practice and each plane/ nation will take alot of messing around with the controls sensitivites to get it correct but once you do you can outfly anything.
If you are lookiing for a realistic game then get DCS and a HOTAS system and you'll be set....Use WT to have fun....I stopped spending money in WT along time ago...let alone playing it all the time due to the bs in the game.
