Mouse controls and changes in auto-aim mechanism

[semyonkirov 29,038]

Hello tankers!

Today, Tanki has received yet another feature for you to play with — the mouse control option!

You can use your mouse for camera control, aiming and shooting. Mouse controls can be enabled by using the respective option in the game settings page.

You will then need to enter fullscreen mode. To do so, simple left-click anywhere inside the game area (not the interface) during a battle. You can also use the dedicated fullscreen button in the upper menu.

To make the cursor appear while using mouse controls, press and hold the TAB key.

We have also added the ability to control your camera without rotating the turret. This is a welcome change for fans of turrets that have a slow rotation speed. Holding the right mouse button allows you to look around without rotating your turret.

You can switch between keyboard-only and mouse controls at any moment. To do that, use the turret rotation keys or the left mouse button respectively.

The mouse is an alternative control option aimed at those who are just starting out with Tanki, or existing players who would like to try out something new. It’s an additional feature. It can be easily disabled in the settings to prevent any accidental clicks.

What you see in the game is not the final version of the feature. It will be improved further, to make it more stable and easier to use. Also, due to restrictions outside our control, this feature is currently not supported by Chrome and Safari browsers. If you would like to try out mouse controls and your browser prevents you from doing so, please install Firefox or Opera.

By the way, we have also made some changes to the auto-aim mechanism:

• Isida now aims not at the center of an enemy tank, but at the closest point of it.
• Turrets now better aim for small visible parts of enemy tanks at long distances.
• Auto-aim mechanism has been optimized, which can lead to performance improvements in some cases.

That’s all for now. Time for you to try out mouse controls! Make sure you share your thoughts about this new feature in comments below. Your feedback will help us polish it to perfection.

Good luck on the battlefield, tankers!

If you use Standalone Flash Player version 15 or 16, please update it to version 17 here. It will solve most of the issues you are facing with mouse controls.

Don't even try with a laptop. Very uncomfortable and inefficient to play using Mouse Controls. 

 

- 

 

Another thing, you can't even access Adobe Flash settings when you right-click the screen.

Where's the mouse control option? I can't find it? :(

[AN_602 280]

To be honest, i much prefer the traditional arrow keys- i can use them for higher percision. I'm sure that getting used to the mouse control could give similar results, but it's much more benificial to do the same thing without moving your mouse all over the place.

Sorry TO, but this is the only thing I like about this update.

 

Disabled.

EDIT This update is crap

 

 

NOT-Epic!

 

Great update for some tankers.. Well not really

 

 

 IT NEEDS WORK! Make it in use for google!! Even though I use oprea and firefox, most people use crome. Fix shaft please!

 

 

Update 345 Mouse controls

 

This update took a very long time to come out and it still has a lot of errors!

It only works in Fire fox or oprea!

It still has bugs, it takes to long to turn.

Ruined Shaft game play!

 

Over all

 

1 and a half stars!

Are you using Chrome or Safari browser? Kinda looks like you didn't read the Semyon's post.

 

Also, due to restrictions outside our control, this feature is currently not supported by Chrome and Safari browsers. If you would like to try out mouse controls and your browser prevents you from doing so, please install Firefox or Opera.

I know a good number of us are experiencing this issue.

 

[StArFiGhTeR_vs_all 6]

Very very hard to control, i prefer keyboard 1000 times.

I am a old and good player, and i cant control the tank with mouse control, i imagine the new players, too bad for they

[ThouShallNot 963]

Boring update...

[S.C.Y.T.H.E 1,072]

I feel so betrayed. The facebook page got me really excited but it was just boring old mouse controls. This update will only help new players, and won't benefit anyone on a laptop.  :(

 

And, will it actually benefit new players? If you read these comments, the skilled players that know how to turn their turrets fluently can preform much better without using mouse controls. If new players never learn how to use the keyboard to turn their turret, they will never be as skilled as keyboard users. And they have no reason to learn to use their Z and X keys with mouse controls. This may lead to the next generations in Tanki being less skilled, which is not a good thing and does not benefit new players in the long run.
