Will Arma 3 have better mouse controls?

[Trauma.au]

Guy above me is the troll or just too caught up in the 'go back to COD' thing.

I too would love to see the X/Y acceleration difference gone.

[Pd3]

As far as the acceleration differential, that's fine.

However being able to edit acceleration values, I fundamentally believe that the ARMA series should always take into consideration actual human constraints, as they already do.

So long as acceleration values apply solely to the mouse moving the perspective, and are capped off in a way that doesn't facilitate somebody snapping their neck at mach 3, or worse yet, implying that the inertia that some guns are constrained by should be removed.

No. Nooooo.

The cons outweigh the benefits of keeping negative acceleration. I'd sacrifice a bit of "realism" for a lot more smoother controls. Keeping negative acceleration on makes a very little impact in normal Arma engagement distances other else than adding in a lot of clumsiness. High mouse sensitivity will mess up a player in Arma. People turning up mouse sensitivity will actually impair themselves in a normal Arma firefight due to the long engagement distances, which require low sensitivity and pixel precision aiming. Even professional Counter-Strike players keep mouse sensitivity very low in order to be more accurate.

Disabling mouse deacceleration and turning rate cap = win-win situation

Define "smooth"?

Having mechanically accurate dexterity when trying to simulate soldiers holding weapons isn't sacrificing a little bit of realism. You're throwing the baby out with the bathwater in that respect.

Good god, the last thing this game needs to play like a Quake engine mod.

I would argue in favor of removing ways that make aiming cumbersome in ways that aren't natural, although I would advocate simulating human error via attaching tensor, flexor and weight values to firearms, and actual "arms" respectively.

People who want to play as if weapons weigh nothing and have no physical constraints to speak of have plenty of other games to enjoy than ARMA.

Honestly the mouse controls in Arma 2 for me, are fine. I use a Razer Naga and just customize my settings out of the game with my mouse program features to get the exact values of precision and sensitivity that I want.

Not sure if this is needed.

So basically you want to use things outside of the core game to fix Arma again.

Lol all fine and dandy for you but what about the casual arma gamer who doesn't own such fancy equipment?
The system requirements don't say:
Minimum:
OS: Windows Vista SP2, Windows 7 SP1
CPU: Intel Dual-Core 2.4 GHz or AMD Dual-Core Athlon 2.5 GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT or ATI Radeon HD 3830 or Intel HD Graphics 3000 with Shader Model 4 and 512 MB VRAM
RAM: 2 GB
HDD: 15 GB free space
DirectX®:10
Mouse: Razer Naga

They clearly aren't fine if you had to use external software to fix it.

^^Not sure if huge troll or selfish sociopath who can't be helped.

I, for one, would much like mouse smoothing to be gone, and have direct ratio between mouse movement and screen movement.

The way ArmA 2 feels isn't right, it's easier to aim a real firearm in real life.

In E3 videos where they shoot pop-up targets aiming seems very tight. Of course I havent tried it my self but judging from videos it looks much better.
