Mouse controls and changes in auto-aim mechanism

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.

using 17 still messed up

Isida looks ridiculous. The aiming point keeps jumping all the time when the closest point changes.

 

Haven't tested the mouse controls yet, but will do.

 

Edit: Not liking them. E.g. Turning the hull should turn the camera and the turret too.

The devs really need to check their updates before releasing them, they've just ruined one turret as of now.

This update isn't aimed at existing players... and neither is this the final version. I'll wait for the latest version to come out and will only then comment on it. I haven't tried it on firefox though, my current browser doesn't allow me to play with it. I guess I'll have to wait, but for all the existing players, I doubt you will ever get used to it, you've grown too used to these controls, shifting will be too hard.

Oh... I think that's a bug, it isn't supposed to be like that, I tried it too, same here, but it only happens in a small window, without reducing my screen size, it works perfectly

Impossible to play.. not even aiming/ shooting straight and the controls get stuck on turning using X/C/Z.

scope aims high in the sky and not coming down through the down arrow or "s" key
