Hovering Hull Keyboard Control

[player11 3]

Hi, 

I'm using a hovering hull for the very first time. . and I noticed that the keyboard keys of right and left, make hull to move in the right and left directions without turning. . 

To turn the hull, I have to turn the turret and the hull follows. 

I find this a bit tricky, as I have been playing with tracked hulls for many months. . 

Anyway to change the control settings to make hovering hulls turn like non hovering hulls? 

Thanks! 
And Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Tanki changed the way hovering hulls work when using keyboard. There is no way to really solve the issue, other han adapting to playing with mouse controls.

I also face this issue even with joy stick

I wouldn't be surprised if the developers messed something up. Last week after the update my tank had several issues with controls if i had keyboard+mouse controls enabled, it wouldn't turn the turret with the keys but it worked with mouse and my arrow keys were unresponsive, had to switch to "keyboard only" to play properly(i only play tracked hulls). Oh and when checking the scoreboard my tank would stop responding to my controls, forcing me to press the control keys again or stay frozen in place up until I closed the scoreboard. Both of these issues were fixed quickly (thankfully) but i wouldn't be surprised if they also affected hovering hulls and the devs didn't bother with fixing them since very few players use keyboard only with them.

You open settings in game Lobby (that what appears to you when you open game) ---> Go to "CONTROL" section ---> In "Input device" you change it to "Keyboard".

That should work.

You'd probably have to disable mouse controls or smth, though there's a reason why they're simply overpowered and superior to tracked hulls, using the classic controls will just make your experience not enjoyable

I tried that . . selected Keyboard only . . still the hull doesn't turn . . it hovers to the left/right . . only when I press the key to turn the turret left/right, the hull automatically follows . .

Yup, it's disabled . . yeah, I agree . . being able to hover to the right and left quickly is superior to the tracked hulls . . but I'm just used to the classic controls . .

The thing is that I've used hovering hulls many months back, they turned like tracked hulls. . that time the controls were classic . . only now during the sale I upgraded hopper fully and decided to use it regularly . . and then found the change. .

I've tried that myself and I have to admit, something got changed. In the past it was like that. Keyboard only and was working fine for me. I should've tested it before answering you. My bad. I'm really sorry about that.

Ahh that was helpful, thanks  ..  hope they take notice of this and fix it . . Else I'm not going to be upgrading my hovering hulls at all

After every update I have found that unless you go to settings and change "EVERYTHING" back to how YOU had it, playing is impossible.

This happens every single time after an update, so i'm guessing the trashcans and keyboard have also been affected, although i wouldn't put it past them to make changes and say nothing, there very good at that. 

I'll try setting everything to default and then back to my layout and see. . thanks for the tip!

I still don't have the ability to control hopper like how I control wasp using the keyboard for direction change . .
