Q/E control stance adjusments,also single tapping W/S

[Wolfstriked 11]

I read a ticket that was asking for the Q "lean" key to automatically put character into left stance with weapon shouldered on left shoulder.Sounds very intuitive which got me thinking more on this suggestion so....

In the same way we have MOUSE2 to toggle optics and hold MOUSE2 to zoom we could have Q and E to toggle the left and right stances but if you press and hold Q an E it still controls lean left/right or evasive move when prone.Also thinking that all stances can work like this.Game already forces players to have to stop before the stance adjustments work right?If you are stopped and you want to move forward you HOLD down W right?Get where I am going with this?So why not have it so that stance adjust up is tapping the W key and stance adjust down is tapping the S key.If you wanna move forward and backwards you can keep on doing what you doing by holding down the keys.

There will be the slightest delay though if something like this is implemented as you feel when you press zoom and wait a half a sec but when only when you are at a standstill.Whats your thoughts???:cool:

EDIT<<<<A and D single tapped should be for left and right stances if this is implemented....

Delay will be the issue. It also will be ridiculously clunky. In the heat of combat I'd rather press a key and will be sure that I won't end up exposing half of my body because I held my finger on it for 0.1 secs longer than I should have. Clicking/holding the mouse button is a lot easier than doing the same with keys considering that you tend to press several of them at once.

Might be clunky or feel amazingly intuitive.Issue I just thought of is that when you do the A/D tap to peak around corners the stance adjust would trigger instead.So maybe its better to stay with Q/E for stance left/right.

The current system is fine. No need to change it. Sure, I'd say give the option to people to change it, but there's no need for BIS to change the default.

Well I would like if you would sidestep with CTRL+(Q or E) instead of CTRL+(A or D).

It seems much more intuitive.

Why add more buttons though?How is it easier and less clunky?Its kinda blowing my mind how people are not thinking this is a good idea.I also posted an easy and intuitive way to deploy a bipod.Have each stance key also function as the toggle for bipod deployment so that you drop down pressing prone key and then hit prone again if you wanna deploy.But they agree that its better to have yet ANOTHER key to be able to set as deploy bipod.:rolleyes:

Stop....Press ADJUST.....cycle WASD....release ADJUST....press WASD....move on

Stop....Cycle WASD......press WASD....move on

The lag is not that bad considering your at a standstill and in real life you do not instantly start moving,plus once moving there is no longer any lag when transitioning.Tonic87,I did a post on better controls in Arma3 trying to explain how to make the controls fluid and where your not having to contort your hand during combat to do simple maneuvers.Maybe its my age and tighter less flexible fingers but I can't hit CTRL+(Q or E) easily,actually its FREAKING HARD to do!You could just tap Q or E first and then proceed to lean as normal.Plus having to then press ADJUST and then reset the sidestance?
