Unless a tank commander comes out, driving a tank has a visually very confusing experience.
There is a serious visual burden when driving a tram.

Enlisted tanks use limited view to both recreate the historical experience of controlling a tank, and as a balancing factor.
Positioning is very important. If you understand where the enemy may come from, you can position yourself in such a way as to prevent the visual problems from preventing you doing a lot of damage.

Screenshots?
They made Driving any Tanks now comes with an Optic, just see on practice range. and if you zoom in, it takes like 1.5 second to Zoom and it’s not natural. It actually weirds me out.
Just asked because I’m at work forum warrioring as usual.
I would have to see better in game I guess.
tanker tiers are delicious. No more effortless 150+ kills :)))

You’re joking right? Now you can sit miles away from the action the entire match hogging the tank slot and snipe hundreds of kills per match.

Well, that new sight gives me headache and disorientation. I liked the tank before, because it was nice, but also not invincible. Positioning was also important then. Please just reverse the changes, or make the old sight a 3rd zoomed out option, because the new sights just make me uncomfortable, and not wanting to play tank anymore, I think I am not alone with this.

you are
Those new sights are indeed terrible.
- You can precisely aim at too long distances, which makes tanks effortless to play (once you get used to it a bit)
- New sights are causing disorientation
People getting used to it are now very easy targets when driving around like headless chickens not knowing what they are doing:clown_face:(seriously, I just had great BT-7 battle with only minimal effort or opposition). Driving tanks is now kind of pain as well.
Also, for some reason BT-7 feels much slower and worse to drive even on max upgrade. But it could be just me being disoriented by those new sights. Can anyone either call bs or confirm that for me?
I can confirm the stumbling around like drunk for you. Its the same with me. And because of disorientation I dont even know where I am going most of the time. So no more tanking for me until it gets fixed. And thats so sad, because the tanks were really fun.
Try M24 - it is now zoomed in both zoom modes.
Screen - fov 65 WITHOUT zoom:
It is possible to get used to and then just farm people with your godlike optics (I almost felt sorry for axis tankers that battle), but still it is inconvenience. Irony is, that despite all those great optics you can´t see shit for some reason when it comes to driving.
Well, thats not my playstyle as tank, and its quite boring for me to sit ack and just snipe farm instead of helping the team. And this update will discourage tankers to help their team, they will sit at the end of the map and be useless. Its like in many other games with the k/d farmers, just that this game tracks no k/d.
Providing support on range is what tanks were built for. You need to stay on mid/long distance. Mowing down enemies or shooting other tanks to keep your teammates covered while surviving is the best you can offer for your team. If you go for short range you are bound to die rather fast, and you are going to deserve it
That doesn’t make for “fun” or encourage rotation of players on tanks. This game has nothing to do with reality there are plenty of other FPS games that do that far better. The maps are small the player count low, tanks should be in close getting rekt not farming from miles away.

right what i meant.
And its not like I die so fast. Yes of course faster than if I stayed far away from everyone. But I still managed to make 202 kills and 350 assists this morning. Though that was an exceptional good game, some good maneuvering and oversight, and well timed repairs, you can survive quite long in close combat.
And if you are Balancing the tanks, might also think about the planes. Those are more often a real pain, when the whole team gets carpet bombed in a minute interval and there isnt even a chance to get an AA up.
