Whiteowl Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I play this game like a pure tank game...anyone remember the original M1 TANK PLATOON by Microprose back in the day? Well, this game has that taste and quality. I love it so! I was wondering if there is a way to use a joystick? I have a Saitek X52 and it would just be cool to use it in this game.

poesel Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I remember one of the devs saying that he used a joystick during playtesting so it should be possible. I never tried it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeltz Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I thought about it and then realized I haven't used my joystick in so long the drivers were outdated. I think it would work great, just never dropped the cash on a new stick. Let us know how it works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby Haynes Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I have, in the past, used my joysticks with this game. It works fine - I'll try and remember what I did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiteowl Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 Were those joy sticks perhaps analog? The X52 major axis (x and y) are digital and don't do anything in the game. Although the buttons do work. My biggest problem is getting crossed up while trying to move the tank, aim the gun, and zoom in, and trying to hit G to zoom in further, and then to select Heat or HE, and all the while still maneuvering the tank. It seems a joystick would be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
