Direct control and camera control.
 

I find it a bit awkward to aim using arrows and to control camera using numeric keypad. In a 3rd person shooter, the camera would rotate automatically keeping your crosshair always in the middle. In MoW, if I see that I got shot from the left flank, first I need to rotate the camera and then I can aim. It takes time and frequently my tank ends up being destroyed.

I would be grateful for any suggestions. I noticed some guys are very good in direct control, but I suck. :(

I forgot if I set it or if it came default but when I hold my Right mouse button and move the mouse it pans the map view. As for aiming in DC I just hit tab, go into DC mode and then move my mouse around and it turns the turret/infantry weapon based where I move my mouse and stuff. I agree though when I first played the RT demo I used the numkeys to pan my view....its was like yeah...right, this is slow and useless haha

when y have a mouse with 3 buttons y can change cameraposition with middle mouse button. pressing middle mouse button and moveing mouse change y cameraposition. same works with mouse with 2 buttons + 1 wheel (pressable). test y mousesoftware to change the function for middle mouse button.

i am sorry to say this and i mean no disrespect but can you please type the word that you want to say and not keep on using (y).

i see so many post from you like this.

just (y) can mean so many thing from you, (you) (yes) (yous) (yours) (yo)(why)(porn star) ok the last one was a joke.

but you get what i mean.

Sincerely.

PS. if you wanted to say (you) just use (u) that how everybody do it,

There is a different way then using numkeys? If only I knew before all those hand cramps.

Great thanks everyone. You are stars. :)

My mouse is a cheap logitech one, by I managed to assign the wheel left click as num 7 and the wheel right click as num 9 and it does the trick.

The right mouse botton hold and pan trick doesn't work on my mouse. It only changes the weapon to the secondary one and back.

Damn i lol'd at y ;)

OMG not you too.:grin:

Do you have to have a mouse or a number pad to rotate camera and ect?:(

you can sset the pan to pretty much any keys you want, just go into settings, but using a mouse is hecks easier then trying to pan w/ the keyboard and such
