Been having this since patch day.
Every so often in a ground rb match movement commands seem to get “backed up” in the server, along with other commands, like pressing tab to look at the board or holding alt to get the mouse pointer will be ignored once or twice then all of a sudden process when you don’t expect it.
But what’s really frustrating is it will happen with movement controls, like just tapping D to quickly pivot to the right a bit will send you in to a circle that keeps going with no further input, or going forward gets “stuck” and you keep going forward without holding W and without cruise. Needles to say this can ruin a spawn when it happens at the wrong time. I don’t know exactly how I “break” the input freeze but when it happens I just start hitting all sorts of keyboard commands until it unsticks, usually in about 3 to 5 seconds. Which, if you’re in front of the enemy, is an eternity…
I don’t see any mention of this anywhere out there which is weird because I am 99% sure it can’t be unique to me. Nothing I could conceive of that would be on the user’s end could be the culprit. I don’t have any input issues in any context outside War Thunder.
EDIT: I play air and naval rb and haven’t noticed this issue there, at least not yet. I haven’t played any sim or arcade in a long time so I don’t know about them. But it seems to happen a few times every day since patch in ground rb.
