EDITED 1ST JULY ACORDING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO REQUESTED ME. BELIEVE IT WAS NOT MY INTENTION TO START A BIG DRAMA
Hi folks,
I have been playing elite dangerous for about 4 and a half years and making pvp for the last 2 years.
If you see the top, for example, 200 pvp players in this game, roughly 10% are using HOTAS or ar least joystick, and the rest are using the mouse + keyboard + relative mouse combo.
This simple percentages indicate is not balanced
Everybody who makes pvp in this game knows HOTAS users has to practice much more to be acurate in shooting and even in FA off control than a mouse and keyboard user, and this is not an exageration, it is a fact, so again, is not balanced.
Maybe the FDEV team haven´t tested enough because I think If they do it they would realize easily.
So what I am asking from from frontier is to balance these mechanics, introducing some mechanic that make control and aiming a bit easier for HOTAS users, specially in FA-OFF
Anyone who thinks I am not right, can see on internet on thousand videos, how easy is to hit with long range railguns using keyboard and mouse, and on the other hand with HOTAS is more difficult.
Or also can test it flying in FA off with mouse and keyboard, and then try the same with a HOTAS.
Regards.
