[VR Camera Improvement Request] Tank Vehicle Camera Issues in VR Mode

Community Technical Support Gameplay Problems & Advice

Hello Gaijin team and fellow players,

I have a suggestion regarding the camera system in VR mode in War Thunder, as I’ve encountered the following issues:

  1. Camera in VR for Regular Vehicles:
  • When using regular vehicles such as tanks, the camera in VR is locked to the tank itself, making it difficult to aim precisely in Sniper mode. The view feels somewhat restrictive and not as flexible as it could be.
  1. Comparison with SPAA Vehicles:
  • When using SPAA (Self-Propelled Anti-Aircraft) vehicles, the camera is attached to the turret, allowing for easy movement and the sniper aim to always stay in front. This makes it much easier to spot and engage targets in VR.

Questions and Suggestions:

  • Is it possible to adjust the camera system for regular vehicles to function in the same way as SPAA vehicles in VR mode?
  • This change could enhance the VR experience, especially for players who rely on precision aiming and want a more natural and comfortable camera movement.

If there’s any additional information I can provide or if a different channel is needed to submit a report, please let me know. I’d be happy to contribute to improving the game.

Thank you for considering this suggestion, and I hope the team can look into improving this aspect of VR gameplay.

estoy totalmente de de acuerdo con la persona de este post, a ver si podeis arreglarlo poque es muy molesto no poder usar el giro de camara desde fuera del tanke, ya que eso crea una desventaja clara sobre los demas jugadores, al no poder observar a otros jugadores en las esquinas de los edificios o en los cambios de rasante.
yo tambien he observado que cuando tengo la vista posicionada encima del tanke cuando giro la torreta al rededor de unos 90 grados tanto a izquierda como a derecha y miro hacia el frente con el visor, la la torreta se pone automaticamente hacia el frente y esto es muy molesto.
porfavor arreglenlo.

I totally agree with the person who posted this, I hope you can fix it because it is very annoying not to be able to use the camera rotation from outside the tank, as this creates a clear disadvantage over other players, as they cannot see other players in the corners of buildings or in changes of elevation.
I have also observed that when I have the view positioned above the tank when I turn the turret around 90 degrees to the left and right and look forward with the scope, the turret automatically goes forward and this is very annoying.
Please fix it.

Yes and no: I made the observation tat when you’r far off the tank hull’s direction while aiming, the VR view suddenly snaps back to the tank hull, which makes aiming with SPAA’s nearly impossible.

Also, in gunner view, the lock boxes and aim predictors of SPAA’s with radar or IRST are fixed to the aimpoint, NOT on the actually locked target!
