Hello, I am wondering is someone has good settings for a Logitech
Wingman Extreme 3d joystick for use with a tank in BF1942.
(I am not up to flying just yet, so am trying one thing at a time.)

Is it possible to have the joystick move the turret left/right and
up/down? I know default is uses the mouse but I have been on Internet
play and it seems like there are tanks whose turrets move very fast.

Thanks in advance.

Use keyboard buttons to drive the tank. Use the mouse to turn the turret.
You can turn the turret faster if you increase the mouse sensitivity under
Options.

I don't think its possible to control a tank completely with a joystick. As
Marc said, use the keyboard and mouse to maneuver the tank. Set your mouse
sensitivity so high that the turret moves 200-240 degrees without you having
to lift your mouse up. It might seem awful fast in the beginning, but when
you learn the technique, it's a real advantage.

Interesting tip, Gubb! I'm going to try that this afternoon! 🙂

You have a tip for killing the infantryman is right beside your tank,
trying to blast you in the rear? I always seem to lose that battle...

Best!

Thank you for the info. Never thought of increasing mouse
sensitivity. Will give it a try.

Jump out of the tank and drop a mine on it or in front of it.
Meanwhile, of course, dodge the infantryman. Most of the time
he'll jump into the tank and, shortly thereafter, go BOOM. ;-)

If your'e not able to back the rear up against a wall or something, so he
can't get a clean shot, try to run him over or lure him close to a tree, a
building, a rock or something and shoot your cannon at that oject and let
the splash damage do it's job. (And use "c" or one of the F keys for
external wiev every now and then.)
Zig-zaging away to increase the distance to him might work too.
Except for planes and engineers, AT guys are the worst pain in the *ss
possible! 😉

Good tips! 🙂 I agree about the AT guys... LOL

BTW, do you eat lutefisk? If my memory is correct, you're Swedish,
right? Half my family is Scandinavian and it was sort of a rite of
passage to graduate to the adult table and eat Lutefisk at holiday
gatherings. It's ahhh, ok, if made right. 🙂

Use external views too (Press "C"). That will help you keep track of the
"Landser", and mowe him down with the MG.

My oh my! did this go off topic or what?! Haha!
Yes I'm from Sweden.
Myself, I don't consider lutfisk edible, even though many think of it as a
delicacy. (Yuck!)
The Norwegians seems to like it too, and i think it might be a Norwegian
invention.

(And I definetively don't count "surströmming", (Fermented Baltic Herring,
fermented for a year or two..), to be suitable food for modern people high
in the foodchain.. LOL)

Gubb

P.S
"Lutefisk"=Norwegian spelling, "Lutfisk"=Swedish. I think the english name
is "Stockfish"?
A word by word translation would be "Lyefish", like Lye, that corrosive
stuff used to remove paint....
Strange ingredient in foodmaking, eh?

Indeed, I've never understood the appeal of this most disgusting
concoction. Alas my inlaws (from Övik) love the stuff. I tried it
once and it tasted ok, but as the fork passed under my nose on the way
to my mouth, my brain was screaming "DON'T DO IT"!

Hehe, Lutefisk rears its ugly head on this newsgroup once more. I'm
determined to try it out one day...

It can't be any worse than Marmite surely 😉

The lutefisk came to Norway from Sweden. They can't blame us for that one.

A terrible mix of potatoes, onions and anchovy cooked in cream! Only
swedes eat it (maybe some in Finland too??).
I would prefer lutefisk any day...

Would like to be able to control tank with joystick though...

Janssons Frestelse is a kind of.. ...uuhh...gratin? Quite good if you leave
the fish out of it. 😛
Swedes seems to like all kinds of pickled or fermented fish.... raw pickled
or fermented fish.... I must be adopted....

BTW, don't you norwegians bury cod or salmon in the ground and dig it up the
next year, ready to eat? Or is that Greenland, perhaps?

Haha! Sure! But I wasn't trying to start a war or something. 😀
IIRC there is a fish dish that involves burying fish for a year, and when
you dig it up, it's ready to eat.

Both are used for enemas in traditional swedish and norwegian medicine
(just kidding).

On Greenland, small birds are collected and buried in a dead seal for a
while, before eaten (feathers and bones are dissolved by the
fermenting). On the Faroes, sheeps heads are hung outside houses for a
while, and then eaten.

Lutfisk is ok. It's basically tasteless and a bit chewey. The thing
that gives it taste is the sauce.

One of my major import items, along with decent cheddar and tea bags!
