Default 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.

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.

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
