Generalised topic here.
Opentrack is a nice software that enables the usage of head/eyetrackers within War thunder, but it offers a very good advantage to users with certain gear in ground battles.

Being able to see around corners and over small obstacles is an amazing, and maybe underappreciated biproduct of this.
What are your opinions on this?
Isn`t thirdparty software running alongside the game and changing aspects of the game considered illigal/cheating?
Not in this instance. It’s just a head tracker software no different to playing with VR or trackIR.
But perhaps they need to adjust how those software interact in GRB
not as good as sound mods
ngl that looks a lot like it should be considered cheating. because that’s 3rd party software giving a MASSIVE potential advantage
This specific software is required to make my Tobii 5 work, and is endorsed by War thunder itself in some regard.
No, head tracking has been allowed for a while, It is really useful in air sim
yes but this isnt being used for air sim but as an exploit for ground realistic.
There is no rule saying it has to be used for air sim, only that the software is allowed for the whole of War Thunder
probably ought to have its limits, such an advantage in 3dr person is unfair to common players
Limits are physical exertion; same as using VR headset.
Physical movement to achieve the advantage
and the additional kit needed for head tracking such as a camera. instantly screws over console who has it bad enough and most of the playerbase who arent on the latest and greatest PCs
In this, it’s entirely on Gaijin and how those software can interact with ground…it might be a game limitations that they can’t separate ground and gamemodes like ASB.
I’d be personally disappointed if I want able to use open track in ASB anymore because it was being used as an exploit in GRB
With how disgustingly invasive anticheats are they absolutely can do this
Nah, it’s not even on anitcheat. It’s on how head tracking/camera controls can be used in GRB. They just need to add physical camera limits in GRB so that you cant move the camera position from a fixed point
Really?
You are physically getting up and running 10 meters to get that camera view?
I now have a mental image of someone sitting in a chair ontop of one of those VR treadmill things where you have to physically walk/run to move your character in game and essentially flintstoning to move your tank in War Thunder
Oh I had originally written that you have to climb down from atop a refrigerator first.
GRB VR/head track has been used for this and to poke only the head out at corners since… 2020? Could remember a vid from that age
The PS has also VR
