Some people, especially prop players, might look at the patch notes - see all it touches are things that are irrelevant to them and move on with their day.
Or even if they look more in-depth, and look through flight model and armament changes… the Shift+A is not mentioned anywhere, and the shift+D is within a bullet point that screams “I’m only here for missile jets” so you skim over it.
Now, you could say “go and edit your controls each update.” However, you’ll likely end up missing things a bunch if you do not look at it often. It does not exactly stand out from the rest at a glance. Heaven knows I fixed the Shift+D after checking the changelog but missed shift+A.
At the very least, any changes to control lay-out should be placed front and center of changelogs, rather than buried at the end of it after priming the user to skim due to personally irrelevant details being highly, highly abundant beforehand
Nobody asked for this.
Nobody actually wants it
It’s just blocking view like ***** when trying to land bombs, least in ground games, especially in hi altitude. And when not blockin bombing, it just blocks a huge part of map below.
Just a tip how to fix it, just remove it
I’m glad I went to a test flight mission to check the new UH-1D interior and found this useless bind there instead of crashing during a match due to it.
Was just playing and a load of weapons popped up along the bottom, I must’ve pressed shift A. It blocks the mouse working. Brilliant. Certainly I couldn’t then turn and someone was behind me. Well that is absolutely IDEAL for something to happen mid combat, for something that seems to have absolutely no use to me. [Sarcasm alert].
I tried it when I first saw it and nothing happened, I presume if the vehicle has nothing interesting to show, it still shows this icon, but shift-A does nothing?
Also very cool if you tab out and back in try to bank left and the shift key got stuck while tabbing back in (virtually stuck not physically). truly a brilliant addition. Also fix the 32:9 Hud gaijin you gaijins.
