Could we please gain the ability to turn off the aim assist for tanks, due to it aims at trees and other things that I don’t want to shoot at…
I filled in the lines so it’s easier to see them and the issue I am having.
(Save the trees from unwanted tank rounds)
Tanks have no aimassist at least on pc. Might it be that you are on conole or realy close? If you are too close your tank shoots off a little to the side the where the gun is. You don’t shoot out the optics.
… tanks DO have PENETRATION indicator… I believe it’s what he’s referring to. And on pc as well.
It’s an indicator not aimasist and I think he means the fact that he is about to shoot this post that isn’t in his crosshair.
Like GeneraBlacky has said, you don’t aim through the barrel of the gun, you aim through the scope and that sits off to the side a bit. So your scope (crosshairs) might aim at one thing, but your gun (that 3-line cross thing, which you call an aim assist) aims at another thing. It’s not a problem with distant targets, but when you have stuff like trees right in front of you, it gets tricky.
The same problem exists with handheld weapons. When you sit behind cover and you aim just above the edge of that cover, you still often hit the cover, because the sights sit above the barrel.
That cross, which you call an aim assist, is a courtesy by the developers, so you know when your shot is blocked.
Yes? … I think we both want to say the same thing… He called that aim assist, but it’s the green pen indicator he circled on the picture. To be fair, that indicator does assist your aiming merely by telling you if it’s ok to shoot “here” or not…
Figures console players get aim assist on tanks too.
… I wouldn’t be surprised… 🤦
This is me playing on a pc
Is it just a visual glitch then?
It’s not a glitch. Your scope sits on the left of the gun. It’s aiming to the left of the pole. But the gun itself is aimed straight at the pole.
This.
You are just shooting at the pole. The only way to not have this is move the tank or move the turret somewhere else. From that position and target there is no way not to hit that post.
Oh… didn’t think about that… Well, thanks for pointing it out even if I feel really thick right now
