So the tank controls suck now

What happened? I have had so many times where I go in the opposite direction to where I point the stick

Had this happen last night. Instead of driving forwards when I looked to the right, it started reversing. I want my stick to drive the direction the stick implies the vehicle is facing. Don’t swap forward into backwards because I looked backwards. I want down to be backwards. Very stupid control design.

Yeah the tank is super wonky, complements the complete roll hazards that are warthogs nicely.

Itā€˜s left stick only until you traverse the turret to a certain angle. Then it just becomes guess work.
I had my Austin Powers moment yesterday while trying to maneuver my Scorpion to a Banished outpost and mofos had czech hedgehogs installed along the way.
By the time iā€˜ve gotten to the outpost, my tank was up in flames. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

It definitely gives the CE scorpion tank a run for its money on how bad it is at driving.

Some people recommend the option Movement Assisted Steering for tank controls. I’ve heard some people claim that it makes the tank more like the older games. I can’t say you’ll like it, and I can’t say if you do prefer it that it’ll solve all your problems, but I can say I’m enjoying it. It’s worth trying if you don’t like default tank controls, though, be advised, it does impact all ā€œwheeledā€ vehicles.

I thought I was the only one who noticed this. This was actually the case in halo 5 as well where i first noticed how the 343 tank physics / handling was COMPLETELY different than the bungie era ones (H2/H3/Reach)

The bungie tank movement (to put it simply) controlled as such -

Left Joystick: accelerate tank movement depending on which way you point the joystick

Right Joystick: move the crosshair to aim cannon and ā€œlookā€

I’m sure from a developer standpoint that is a very simplified explanation but if you are familiar with the bungie era tanks and how they drove then most likely you know what I mean. The 343 era tanks seem to only use the left joystick for both movement and ā€œlookingā€ and it creates some awkward wonky steering that is impossible to create fluid movement.

343 - why do you continue to **** things up by changing them for no apparent reason when they worked before…? is it incompetent management, or incompetent developers…? there are so many problems with this game that are the result of them modifying systems in place that worked before and it is baffling to me that a company with so much resources can **** things up this much

-It’s also too damn big for how the open-world terrain was designed. It’s a cluster F…
-It gets stuck on everything even though it’s a Tank.
-When you are at a fob and request one the AI in this game are so damn stupid that they just stand there and die.
-None of the AI jump on the side as they use to-to actually be useful.
-There isn’t enough open land to where they could actually be useful if the setting was right like past Halo campaigns.
-It’s also too damn easy for the enemy to destroy.

Longer story short, I found the Tank to be completely useless in this game.

the controls from the scorpoin tank are not that great thats something i also have sometime’s trouble with when i need some big firepower for some place.

the controls from the scorpoin tank in halo 5 and older are much better then from halo infinite thats for sure.

Anyone else tried it on PC. My god they are so bad and difficult to move in any direction that you are intending to go. For once the wraith is actually now better. Please fit this 343, Scorpian is great… until you try moving :confused:

Haven’t they always sucked, they are just worse now
