I just can't conceive of any situation where the results of a rational, thought-out conversation about the control layout could possibly be the results that were recently shoved down on our throats.

OBVIOUSLY, no one bothered to talk to anyone that actually uses mouse inversion before "fixing" it.

This is so upsetting to me that I haven't even bothered playing the game since my only battle in the Hummel.  Instead of driving my new Type 59 and spending gold, I'm on the forums, complaining, and submitting "Bug" tickets (there was no option for "tell us what interface options we ruined in the last patch by dictating to our players instead of creating options for them").

I'll probably rave on the forums until I receive some sort of reasonable response, because, frankly, this is a problem that shouldn't exist and it's utterly ridiculous that it takes this much work to fix it.  The time it's going to take them to read these messages would be substantially less than just creating an option box in the control settings.

Really, with the amount of time the threads about this have been at the top of the "bug report" list, I'm quite disappointed at the lack of a response.  With the amount of moderator activity I've seen in-game AND on the forums, I don't understand why someone associated with WG hasn't posted here saying, AT LEAST, "Sorry, guys.  I have passed these reports on to the decision-makers and I will keep you informed of what they decide."

I can not play the SPG now that they have BROKEN it. What in the world were the developers thinking?

Frankly, I am reconsidering recent gold and gift shop purchases.  It is, indeed, a "showstopper."  I've paid them a fair amount of money in the last few months since I began playing, and if OBVIOUS, INTUITIVE CONTROL OPTIONS aren't included in the game, it makes the game unplayable and not worth my support.

If the reasonable conditions I set for my control and interface options are not met, I begin to question how valuable they consider my financial support to be.

I remember creating option checkboxes that affected ONE VALUE in my high school programming class... It's really not that hard.  It's also ludicrous that they are giving us such ridiculous run-arounds and denials of culpability.

I don't want to hack my XML files every time I launch the game.  It's stupid that I even have to consider it.

Amen this bug is utter bullshit and no excuse they cannot fix this. They can simple change the XML file then recompile and Exe. so it doesnt change the setting and patch it its a very easy fix. they are just not willing to prioritise this to be fixed. Instead they would rather lie to us and give us a runaround about how its a "feature" which is utter bullshit again.

I agree with the posters here, we need an option to control mouse inversion in top down arty mode.  I want my normal and sniper controls inverted but not top down arty.  Please correct this BUG.

Just did some research with a previous version of the WOT installation.. It would seem the bug that they fixed was actually that the vertical inversion setting in preferences.xml of the mouse in strategicMode didn't actually do anything..

As the older versions of the config had Vertical Inversion set to True, yet the mouse wasn't inverted... so it seems it may actually have been a Fix.. Just not one that was well though out for end consequences.

This has definitely exposed a serious lack of customisation of the setup via the in game interface, which needs to addressed ASAP..

no response on forums.  no response from tech support after submitting a ticket.

I am with everyone here, SPG's are just simply unplayable for us who used inverted verticle for aiming...so much for enjoying the SPG experience, I guess it is AT and Tanks for me until it is fixed...

[R3DSKULL]

i busted my ass to get an high tier SPG finally get going with it then they pull this. My ticket has not be responded to after 4 days now they just decided that they will ignore what im saying so until enough of us complain they wont do anything.

[R3DSKULL]
