World of tank control buttons. “A moment of kindness. Removing unnecessary files

In the last article we talked about what is needed and this is the primary condition for comfortable game. But no less important is the correct setting of the game parameters.

Correct settings are the key to a comfortable game! Now we will briefly look at all the game settings and pay special attention to graphics settings.

1. General settings

The “Game” tab contains general settings.

In the “Chat” section, you can enable message censorship so that stars are displayed instead of swear words (recommended for children). Here you can also disable spam, invitations to a platoon, friend requests and messages from those who are not in your contact list (friends). Personally, I'm fed up with these messages, I turned off the chat altogether and am enjoying the game

In the “Types of random battles” section, you can disable “Encounter battle” and “Assault”. These modes use the same maps as in random battles, but the location of the bases and victory conditions have been changed. In the “Encounter Battle” mode, there is one common base and the team that captures it or destroys all opponents wins. In Assault mode, one team defends the base, the other defends. To win, the Defenders must prevent the base from being captured and at least one team member survive. To win, the Attackers need to capture the base or destroy all opponents at any cost. Personally, I don’t like these types of fights, but you can try them for a change and see if they suit your taste.

In the “Combat Interface” section, you can turn off the effect of optics (the green background in the sight) so that it does not spoil the picture, and turn off the display of the vehicle that destroyed you (if this makes you nervous).

Be sure to check the “Enable dynamic camera” and “Horizontal stabilization in the sniper scope” checkboxes, otherwise it’s simply impossible to shoot on the move, the scope dangles in all directions!

I uncheck the “Show vehicle markers on the scoreboard” and “Show combat effectiveness tapes” checkboxes, because I don’t see the point in them, they are just distracting.

As for the minimap options (camera direction beam, SPG firing sector and additional features), then I disable them because I use a minimap mod with advanced capabilities, which I will tell you about in the next article. This is important, if you, like me, use the minimap mod, then disable these parameters so that they are not duplicated, thereby reducing performance.

When the “Record battles” option is enabled, small files (replays) will be recorded in the “replays” folder, which is located in the game folder, which can then be viewed. This almost does not affect the performance of the game and you can easily share them with friends or upload them to the site “wotreplays.ru” so that other users can watch how you bend But these are not video files, they can only be played by the game itself and stop working after exit next patch. Therefore, if you want to post a video on YouTube or save the history of your victories for posterity, do not forget to digitize the best replays after hard battles using some program for recording video from the screen (ShadowPlay, Bandicam, Fraps).

Well, by checking the last checkbox “Display distinctive marks” you can compare barrels with players in the game. Stars or notches (from 1 to 3) received in battles for great services to the homeland will be displayed on the barrel of your tank

Immediately when you switch to the Graphics tab, the screen settings are displayed.

If you have just installed the game and it is still displayed in a window, and not on the whole screen, then check the “ Full Screen" and click the "Apply" button. Only after this you need to select “Screen Resolution”. If you have a liquid crystal (flat-panel, TFT) monitor, then choose the maximum resolution and leave the frame rate at 60. If you still have a fucking box of a picture tube (CRT) monitor on your desk, then a resolution of 1280x1024 with a frequency of 85 Hz is usually suitable for it ( or 75 Hz). Click “Apply” and if everything is displayed normally (not stretched or flickering), then this is good. If you cannot find the resolution you need or the image appears stretched, then try also changing the “Screen Aspect Ratio”.

In the Graphics Quality field, you can manually select low, medium, high, or maximum quality. This will install the appropriate set of settings, which we will talk about next. If you are not playing on a calculator (a very weak laptop), then make sure that the “3D render resolution” slider is set to 100% and uncheck “ Dynamic change"otherwise the picture in the game will be blurry.

It is better not to enable the “Vertical Sync” option, as it negatively affects performance. This is only required in case of noticeable frame tearing and is applicable on high-end gaming PCs. The “Triple Buffering” option is needed to improve the performance of the video card when “ Vertical Sync", but affects the performance of the processor that performs this buffering.

The Anti-aliasing parameter improves the picture, it becomes softer and more natural, but this significantly loads the video card and is designed for powerful gaming PCs. In this field you can select different anti-aliasing modes from lighter (FXAA) to quite heavy (TSSAA-HQ).

“Viewing Angle (FoV)” specifies the location of the camera relative to your tank. That is, the angle at which you will look at it. The default is set to 95 degrees and "Dynamic FoV" is disabled. Nobody really complains about these settings, so you can leave everything as it is. If you want to experiment, then you now know how everything was, so that you can put it back in place later

The “Gamma” parameter adjusts the brightness, but don’t touch it in vain, it’s better to reset your monitor to default settings, since the game is well calibrated.

“Color filter” is a gourmet option that imposes a different background in the game, similar to the effects in cameras. I tried it, it’s glamorous but useless...

Well, “Color Blind Mode” is intended for people with vision problems.

On the same “Graphics” tab, if you click on the “Advanced” button, the graphics quality settings will be displayed.

At the very top there are the already familiar “Recommended” button for automatically selecting the optimal parameters, the “Graphics Quality” field for setting a set of settings from low to maximum, the “3D render resolution” slider, which should be at 100%, and the “Dynamic change” checkbox. , which should not have a check mark.

As graphics quality increases, the frame rate per second (FPS) decreases. It is believed that a person sees 24 frames per second and for the smoothness of the picture it is desirable that the game produces at least 30 FPS. But from my own experience I can say that normal game dynamics start at 60 FPS.

What is the difference between low dynamics and high dynamics? With low dynamics, your tank drives like a Zhiguli (it just stalls), although maybe like a BMW. I have felt this more than once and you will feel it if you follow my advice! Extras (majors) have powerful computers that, even with high graphics settings, produce decent FPS (100 or more). Therefore, they feel the dynamics in the game much better, the machine subtly reacts to every fiber of the soul and they play more efficiently. And on a fast ST or LT without dynamics it’s generally sad... I’m not even talking about supercomputers that are used in e-sports. This is exactly what they are needed for - for dynamics.

An online game is not a single-player shooter and what is important in it is victory over a live opponent, and not sluggish participation in a meat grinder with bots. Then the game gives that desired moral satisfaction after hard work, and not frustration and a bottle of vodka. Convinced, no? Then read on

I have a mid-range gaming PC and it runs the game on maximum settings graphics, producing 40 FPS. At high settings it produces an average of 60 FPS. In the settings window that I provided above, you can select the graphics type “Standard” or “Enhanced”. So, despite what the hardware allows, I have long preferred to play on standard graphics, without any extra extras.

Just like that, simply and angrily, yes. But what a pleasure the game brings when you race on a bachata (or at least a four-wheeler) at a speed of 100-150 FPS! And there’s not a speck of dust in your eye, no clouds of smoke and rising earth from a T92 shell that fell nearby, no scary grass painted schoolchildren for ice cream highly paid designers, no fog that prevents you from aiming the T95 hatch from 500 meters, no other nasty graphic innovations that turn a BMW into a Zhiguli and prevent you from playing effectively.

Many computers handle standard graphics much better, the FPS is many times higher, and nothing prevents you from manually setting the available sliders to high parameters, at which the picture turns out to be quite neat, clean and dynamic!

I also recommend turning off grass and effects in sniper mode (they are very annoying), foliage transparency (makes the game even cleaner and faster), tracks and effects from under the tracks (you never look at them at all). “Quality extra. effects" it is better not to set it above average or turn it off altogether, since they also interfere (for example, when an artillery shell explodes nearby). It’s better to uncheck the “Dynamically change the quality of effects” checkbox; there’s no need for the graphics in the game to float.

In addition to high dynamics and clarity of the picture, you will receive some pleasant bonuses that you will notice as the game progresses (for example, thanks to the transparency of the water, you can clearly see the bottom topography and where you can drive along it). Try it, play for a while and you will notice that you have become more effective at playing. The main thing is not to rush forward on the wings of FPS

I don't promise anything, because I don't eat ties or caps. But if you still don't like the standard graphics, just change the settings. The screenshot below shows the settings for improved graphics, providing an optimal quality/performance ratio for an average-power PC.

Download detailed description settings for improved graphics, how they affect image quality, what load they put on the video card and processor, you can see in the “” section.

And also, if you need to restart the game to apply the settings, a corresponding message will appear. In any case, I recommend restarting the game when major changes graphics settings.

When we get to mods, there are still interesting opportunities to make the picture cleaner and the sight more stable

If, despite all the settings, your computer is sorely lacking in performance, consider installing new level GTX 1050 Ti or 1060.

MSI GTX 1050 Ti graphics card

Here is a screenshot of the settings in the Sound tab.

Everything seems clear here, so I’ll just add a little personal experience.

I turn off the music right away, it interferes with the game no less than the improved graphics

If you are not using a microphone in team battles, then turn off voice communication by unchecking the only checkbox. Turn it on if necessary. Communication works on the principle of a walkie-talkie - you press the microphone activation button (Q), say, release and listen to others. Anyone who holds the button for a long time pollutes the air with noise from his microphone (computer, apartment).

Headphones A4Tech Bloody G430

The microphone must be connected before starting the game. If your microphone is not always on, then after connecting it it is better to restart the computer, otherwise it may not work or work poorly. First check through the Skype testing service that the microphone is working properly, you can be heard well and there is no strong background noise. If necessary, increase (or decrease) the microphone sensitivity in the system settings (in Windows 7: Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Manage audio devices\Recording).

Then launch the game, enable voice communication and select your microphone in the appropriate field. The Player Voice Volume setting affects how you hear others. The default “microphone sensitivity” should be sufficient; at level 70 and up, your voice may begin to hum and cause discomfort to other players, do not overdo it with this parameter and ask your comrades not “How can you hear me?”, but “Is it too loud?” ?. " General level I usually reduce the ambient volume during a conversation to 50, this muffles all the sounds of the game at the moment when a comrade addresses you and you don’t have to ask him again.

Well, the last, but not the newest feature is national voice acting. I usually leave the standard one, because who knows what the crew is babbling there Chinese tank But it's worth a try, it's a great thing

And yet, there is some other “Start test” button, which I just noticed. Try it, tell me later in the comments

In the mods we will also install sound on the light bulb, what a song!

With the settings on the “Management” tab, everything is even simpler.

But I will still give some advice. I recommend lowering the sensitivity sniper scope and increase the sensitivity of artillery. Set it approximately like in my screenshot. This will give higher aiming accuracy when you are in a tank, since with high sensitivity, especially at medium and long distances, it is difficult to target enemies, the sight moves too quickly. And when you’re on the art, on the contrary, you’re tired of dragging the scope back and forth across the entire map with low sensitivity, and the mat gets erased...

Mouse A4Tech XL-740K

Don’t even think about turning on any inversion, only plums will work

And one more good piece of advice. If you have a mouse with additional buttons, then you can assign a specific consumables cell to one of them. In cells 1-3, the types of projectiles are switched and there is no need to touch them. But in cells 4-6 there may be manually activated consumables. For example, I install a fire extinguisher in the first cell, which corresponds to key 4 on the keyboard. Instead of key 4, I long ago assigned the side button on the mouse in the game settings. This allows you to quickly put out a fire in the event of a fire, rather than searching for the right button on the keyboard while the ammunition explodes. In addition, if there is an increased risk of fire, for example, an AMX 1390 came aft of you and is glad that it got to the soft one, then it won’t hurt to click at that time side mouse button for prevention! Works like an automatic fire extinguisher, but costs 7 times less

In the next article about mods, I will tell you how to assign several keys to one action and shoot more accurately! And, if you mess up the control settings, there is a “Default” button there

Go to the “Sight” tab.

Well, there’s nothing to say at all. You can adjust the size and shape of the sight, which I once tried. But the default settings are close to optimal, except perhaps make the size larger. Yes, and somewhere there is a sight with an indication selected. If you point it at the enemy's VLD (upper frontal part), it turns red, if you point it at the NLD (you can guess it yourself), it turns green. In general, it makes it clear whether your projectile can penetrate armor in this place. Red - no, green - yes.

But don’t bother with this, since in the article about mods we will install a more convenient sight with the correct indication that takes into account the angle of entry of the projectile!

Well, I just have to say that on this tab there are two more pads (pun intended) for setting up a separate arcade (3rd person) and sniper sight (in optics).

Here you can customize various icons above the tanks.

I somehow made the optimal settings for myself and they were saved, since now most of the settings (except for graphics and sound, in my opinion) are stored on the server and are pulled up from it again, even if the game is completely reinstalled.

There are also pads for setting up markers for allies, enemies and destroyed vehicles. For allies, they are the same there, but for destroyed ones, only the model of the vehicle for reference, the rest is disabled so as not to interfere with the screen.

I'm telling you everything honestly, but I still hope that you will install correct mods and you don’t have to configure anything manually here

8. Removing unnecessary files

And finally, a little more useful information. You can significantly reduce the amount of disk space a game takes up by deleting all files from the Updates folder.

This folder contains temporary files that are downloaded during game updates. The developers themselves confirmed that these files are absolutely unnecessary and can be safely deleted. This is especially true for SSD drives that have a small capacity. For example, this folder took up 13.4 GB for me! For which she was sentenced to destruction without the right of restoration

9. Conclusion

To summarize, I want to say the following. If you want to win, forget about the special effects and set up the game well! After all, defeats do not bring any pleasure, but only irritate and leave a feeling of dissatisfaction!

Good day, dear tankers! Today I will describe the main controls of the tank in game World of Tanks. The article will be useful reading for novice tank crews as an instruction manual for the operation of a combat vehicle.

Quite simple and intuitive, especially for people who have played the game more than once computer games. I will list the main keys in the game with default control settings.

Tank movement:

- W, S, A, D used to move the tank hull (forward, backward, turn the hull to the left, turn the hull to the right, respectively);

Double key press R full forward - enables automatic movement of the tank in the forward direction, without the need to hold the button W, but with buttons A And D you can taxi; button press S stops the tank;

Double button press F full back - the button action is similar to R, only turns on the automatic movement of the tank backwards;

- R/F cruise control (when moving forward, backward);

- Space hold and stop the tank while moving to shoot, after releasing the button the tank continues moving;

X The handbrake is used when playing tank destroyers and self-propelled guns to fix the hull; disables body rotation when the sight reaches the horizontal aiming angle. Press again to turn off, or start driving.

Camera:

- Mouse movement/keyboard arrows movement of the sight, turret, aiming at the target;

- Mouse movement when you hold down the right mouse button, view without rotating the turret or moving the sight;

- Mouse scroll wheel, keys PgUp, PgDn zoom zoom in/out of the camera/sight, switch to sniper/arcade mode;

- Ctrl+ click right click for self-propelled guns, turning on the art sight with aiming at the selected square of the minimap.

- Alt hold to enable an alternative mode for displaying tank icons.

Fire:

- Click left mouse button shot;

Cry right mouse button by target, enable auto-guidance and auto-tracking of the selected target;

Cry right mouse button, E key off target, disabling auto-aim;

- Shift manual activation of the sniper/arcade mode of the sight;

- C reload key;

Keys 1, 2, 3 The keyboard selects the type of projectile to be used, one press of the button selects for the next shot, the dual loader immediately proceeds to replace the type of projectile with the selected one.

Keys 4, 5, 6 use of consumable equipment depending on the installation slot; after pressing, you must select the module to be repaired, or the crew member who needs to be cured

Battle chat:

- Enter turning on combat chat, opening the message editor line, sending a message after writing;

- Tab switching between message recipients (own team, enemy team, message to your platoon/company); By default, messages are sent to your team;

- Esc when the battle chat is open or click left mouse button outside the chat window, exit the combat chat message editor;

Combat interface:

- Click left mouse button on the minimap while holding the button Ctrl showing the team a square on the minimap;

Buttons + And - - respectively, increasing and decreasing the size of the minimap;

- M display/hide the minimap;

- Ctrl turning on the pointer;

- Ctrl+Tab change appearance lists of commands (ears);

- V- display/hide the entire combat interface in battle;

- Z opening the general menu of orders after opening, you need to select an order with the mouse pointer and confirm it by clicking left mouse button to send to the team;

Z when hovering over an ally/enemy, a menu of orders opens with a list applicable to that player. Also requires selecting an order with the mouse pointer and confirming its sending by clicking left mouse button.

Hotkeys:

- Button T when aiming at the enemy, a message to the team Support with fire at **, for self-propelled guns I'm attacking, where ** is the nickname of a player on the enemy team;

- F3 message to the team Defend the base!

- F5 message to the team Exactly! - used as confirmation of an order, or confirmation of the completion of a combat mission, as well as a battle cry after a team wins a battle ☺;

- F6- message to the team No way! - refusal to carry out a combat mission, or disagreement with an order;

- F7- message to the team Help needed!

- F8- message to the command Still reloading (where - the number of seconds remaining until the end of reloading), or Ready to shoot!, if the projectile/cassette is already loaded.

- Esc opening the main game menu. Attention! Do not leave the battle until it is over, unless your tank is destroyed and you are capable of any action to the detriment of the enemy! Provided

How to control a tank in World of Tanks? In inexperienced hands, any tank on the battlefield becomes an easy target. In order for your vehicle to show its maximum in battle, you must study all its features and parameters. Any tank has its own disadvantages and advantages - the advantages must be used, and the disadvantages must be minimized.

The material continues the series of notes for beginners on how to play World of Tanks. This material complements the notes How to become an experienced tanker? and Tanks for Beginners.

Basic parameters of the World of Tanks tank

Speed. For any vehicles, this parameter is very important (for self-propelled guns, although to a lesser extent). Light tanks rely heavily on this parameter - in fact, they are only as strong as they are fast. Due to their speed, light tanks rush across the map, highlight enemy equipment, spin lone heavy tanks or slow anti-tank tanks, change flanks and appear in places necessary for allies. Other cars are less dependent on speed, but nevertheless, it is also important. After all, due to speed, you can go around an obstacle faster, change the flank, go to the side or rear of an enemy tank, lean out from behind cover to shoot and quickly drive back. Often the situation forces you to quickly return to base to break up a capture or help an ally.

Armor. Characteristic heavy tanks, some PT and medium tanks. The armor can be all-round, strong only in the forehead of the tank hull, or it can also protect the sides of the hull in addition to the forehead. What does it give the tank? With strong frontal armor, you are not afraid of enemy attacks from the forehead of the vehicle, provided that you have hidden the vulnerable parts of the tank and, by moving, make it difficult for the enemy to aim. If the frontal armor is not so powerful, or the enemy is already close, then use the side armor and “tank” with the side. In this case, the front of the tank is hidden behind an obstacle, and the sides are shown at a very small angle for the entry of the projectile. When it hits the side, the shell ricochets or does not penetrate the armor. With a large angle of entry of the projectile, the thickness of the armor increases noticeably. In some tanks, the strong point of the armor is only the front of the turret. In this case, the hull is hidden behind an obstacle and they exchange fire only with the protruding turret. The more armor, the slower the car.

The most important parameters of a tank are armor, rate of fire, vehicle size, aiming time and gun accuracy. They will help you choose the right tank for subsequent upgrades.

The rate of fire of the gun. This parameter affects the amount of damage you deal to the enemy tank. It is effective when there are few enemies and they have a long cooldown. After an enemy fires, his tank turns into “vulnerable hardware” for some time, and if he is not standing in cover, then even a harmless target. You can fire several shots at it with impunity. In addition, the rate of fire will come in handy if there is a duel between several tanks on both sides in an open area. You can shoot a lot and at different targets, causing damage to the enemy, while they may not even pay attention to you.

The amount of damage per shot. This parameter is related to the rate of fire. As a rule, the lower the damage, the more often the tank fires. Exception - drum tanks. There is a situation when it is better to deal huge damage once, because the enemy will not stand and wait for the next shot. So you can perfectly punish his mistake in the form of huge damage.

Tank size. A tank with a larger hull or height has greater visibility, which means that the camouflage and camouflage network parameters are less effective. Camouflage, camouflage, camouflage net, camouflage bonuses PT, LT and ST - all this increases the tank’s stealth as a percentage of the current one (stealth or stealth is a tabular value, each vehicle has its own). The larger the tank, the heavier it is, and therefore slower.

The main parameters of a World of Tanks tank are armor, rate of fire, vehicle size, aiming time and gun accuracy

Aiming time and gun accuracy. Important for artillery or when shooting while moving or without aiming. If the target disappears behind cover in a second, then you can manage to hit it. Or try to get into the tank's weak spot from a long distance to cause damage. With good accuracy of the gun, you can do this with almost every shot.

These are the main parameters of the tank.

Other parameters of World of Tanks vehicles

Of course, there are other parameters in the game, such as horizontal and vertical aiming, stabilization of the gun, traverse speed of the hull and turret, maneuverability of soft and medium soils, visibility, false sides, etc. You may not need them or rarely use them. However, in some cases they are also important - there are situations when they save the battle. For example, good review allows you to see the enemy without revealing yourself. Large vertical aiming angle - shoot from top to bottom without exposing the body. Horizontal aiming angles - target the enemy without increasing the spread of the gun.

Each car has its own set of important and not so important parameters. You must know about them and use them in battle. You must immediately imagine what can be done in this battle, or on this flank, and what cannot be done. If you play the tank in terms of its strengths and weaknesses, you will be able to use it to the maximum, increasing its usefulness in battle. This allows you to win in extremely losing situations, when there seems to be no chance of winning.

Experienced players have to know the weaknesses and strengths of not only their tank, but also the enemy’s equipment.

Don't make other people's mistakes

In conclusion, a couple of tips on what mistakes you shouldn’t make:

1. Do not pay attention to the situation in battle, do not look at the minimap during battle. This results in the machine quickly merging.
2. Move out of cover with your entire body to shoot at the enemy. It is quite enough to see the enemy tank or its weak point to break through.
3. Not remembering how and where to penetrate a specific tank. Each tank has its own vulnerabilities in armor - these are the ones you need to aim at to inflict maximum damage.
4. Forgetting or not paying attention to artillery. This leads to the tank being killed with the first shot.
5. It is wrong to prioritize when firing at the enemy. You almost always need to take care of your car, and not crawl out from behind cover to fire one shot, only to receive two or more in response.
6. When dueling with an enemy tank, do not hide between shots, do not move your body, preventing him from aiming, but stand still.
7. Drive out of the shelter on the side, and not in a diamond or forehead. This led to penetrations and damage to the tracks.

We hope these tips will help you in mastering the wonderful online tank arcade World of Tanks. And remember best tanks for battle or for form - those that you have. You just need to use them correctly.

In previous articles, we talked about which will allow you to play more effectively, and also looked at those that give a significant advantage over your opponent, if you haven’t read it, be sure to check it out. The method described in this article is the final touch of masterful game setup.

Despite the fact that I have a high-quality mouse and mousepad, which made the game control much better, I noticed that sometimes micro-slippage still occurs when shooting using the left mouse button. The twitching of the sight can be clearly seen when watching a replay of the battle. This leads to non-penetration where penetration is almost guaranteed, as confirmed by many experienced players. Having understood the causes of the problem, I began to look for ways to fix it.

Mouse A4Tech XL-740K

The first thing that came to mind was to assign some kind of key on the keyboard to shoot instead of the left mouse button, which should automatically eliminate any micro-movements of the mouse when shooting. I decided to use the Spacebar because it's long, easy to press with my left thumb, and I don't use it to stop the tank to shoot.

Immediately after assigning a shot to the “Space”, I noticed that the number of non-penetrations and ricochets had decreased significantly and the projectile penetrated thin armor like in the good old days. But an unfortunate drawback was discovered... “Space” was convenient to use for shots on artillery, anti-tank guns, heavy and medium tanks at long distances. But as soon as it came to close combat, where reaction speed is much more important and the shot is fired while moving, using “Space” turned out to be not so convenient. In the midst of a round dance with opponents, the index finger of the right hand greedily clicked on the usual left mouse button, which happened somehow reflexively on a subconscious level. Moreover, it was not immediately possible to understand why the shot did not fire and whether it happened at all, since everyone around was shooting and the shell-shocked crew members were screaming like victims. And you remember about the “Space” key already in the hangar...

It became clear that this solution was not ideal and a new idea immediately arose - to assign two keys to the same action. That is, so that the shot occurs both when you press the Spacebar and the left mouse button. But, as you know, game engine“World of Tanks” does not provide for such settings But it doesn’t matter, I thought, a yoga hacker trained on French Olivetti, German Robotrons and domestic Spectrum will always find a solution And started digging into the game files... But it was not to be... Find somewhere keyboard shortcuts are assigned and I was able to understand the scripts, I registered several keys for one action, but bad luck, the game engine processes only the first of the found combinations, and simply ignores the second

But we are not made with a finger, whispered pride, and were born in the USSR. There are alternative solutions to this problem! On the Internet I found many programs for reassigning keyboard and mouse keys. But no matter how much I fought with them, I never got the required functionality... Or maybe I’m not that smart, a bad thought crept in. But, as it turned out, many users were looking (and are still looking) for the ability to assign two keys to one action in games and various programs.

In general, it was decided to use the physical abilities of a person, given to him by nature, and not to endure the last gray matter... During the game, before shooting at a medium or long distance, well aligned, I simply pressed the mouse with my palm to the mat so that the sight did not waver the most crucial moment. This method had one drawback - sometimes you forget about it...

Now comes the fun part! Recently, quite by accident, I came across a utility designed to solve such problems. It's called "Key Remapper". And lo and behold, it really works and is very easy to use! You can download it in the "" section.

After installation, launch the program and click on the appropriate link to add a new action.

Click in the topmost field with the mouse and press “Space” or any other key that you want to use as an additional one to shoot.

Then left-click on the second field just below, leave everything as it is and click “OK”. It should look like the screenshot below.

Now that the program is running, you can shoot using both the left mouse button and the Spacebar.

MSI GTX 1050 Ti graphics card

In the same way, you can reassign any keys and their combinations on the keyboard and mouse. For example, in other games you can assign a complex key combination to just one button! For each game you can create your own profile (key settings) and enable it as needed.

Without additional settings, you need to launch the program immediately before entering the game, and close it when exiting, because key reassignment will occur in Windows and all programs.

However, the program's capabilities are much wider, and if everything is configured correctly, reassigning keys will only work where you need it (only in the game).

The program can be paused, which will temporarily disable key reassignment.

This is convenient if you, like me, will respond to user comments between battles, and without spaces the words look ugly. Just before returning to battle, do not forget to uncheck the pause box

But there is an even more advanced and convenient method that the most sophisticated users will not resist! You can configure the program so that it reassigns keyboard shortcuts only in specific applications (games or programs). To do this you need to add exceptions.

Enter a meaningful name for the exception and click Add.

Find the “WorldOfTanks.exe” file in the game folder, select it with the mouse and click “Open”.

Make sure the main game executable is added correctly and click OK.

Now reassigning keys will only work in game. And if you create a profile for each game and link it in the same way to the main executable file, then you will remember the existence of this program only when you receive indescribable pleasure in games. You can forget about manually starting, closing and pausing!

This way, key remapping will be automatically included in the games you need and programs.

The utility also has other advanced settings that allow you to set unique behavior of the keys: hold, trigger when released, delay between clicks, completely disabled (for example, the “Windows” key, which, if accidentally pressed, leads to minimizing the game and going to the desktop).

But that is not all! Using the Key Remapper utility, you can turn any keyboard into a gaming keyboard! For example, assign keyboard shortcuts to the F1-F12 buttons, which is equivalent to programmable keys on gaming keyboards.

In general, I was amazed by the functionality of this program, and I consider its author a recognized (by me) genius! Take advantage of it, assign several keys to one action and shoot more accurately!

Convenient controls in the game are the key to success. I remember before, as soon as you had a new game, the first thing you did was click all the keys on the controller (joystick) in order to find out which button does what. Key combinations (controls) should have been reported in the manual (instructions) for the game. But, in most cases, approximately 99.9%, there was no such manual. But these are not those distant and remote times when the Internet existed only in American-made films.
This article will talk about controls in the game World of Tanks. So to speak, a guide for beginners. Because when entering the game, a beginner gets lost in a bunch of functions. And what can we say about management?
