What is the optimal sensitivity level for the controls? I've heard people say how they adjust the sensitivity level to make aiming and driving easier, but what is the best level?

there is no best level. Try them out and see which you like.

Yep, the only thing that's "perfect" is your own way of doing it.

I spent about a half an hour perfecting my sensitivity for all aircraft (fixed and rotor) after I installed .5 it's just personal preference, load up Al Basrah (create your own server), after loaded, join the USMC, hit the "~" key then type in sv.NumPlayersNeededToStart 1 , then just fly aircraft around and set your sensitivities to your liking. I'm constantly adjusting mine though.

I just struggle at first with my games then adapt to them. It's a fall down-stand up kind of method.

im lucky/sad/geeky enough to have one of these mice:

mx518

it has a plus+minus button on the mouse for changing sensitivty on thr go So flying choppers or Tank turret you can set it high, sniping or even ironsights shooting you can set it smooth in a click

Hey, I have that, do NOT say geeky again People who use G15s are

How dare you!

Love you too

I love my mx518, but for some reason SetPoint is gay all the time, and it doesn't register while in-game, so I've given up on it and decided to take an old fashion method..

What my defaults are but everyones differet :

Infantry-Medium/High This is different for everyone, but If you get used to a sensitive mouse fps style you will benefit. You should beable to ATLEAST turn 180 degrees without picking up your mouse and moving it back across the pad



Ground Vehciles- Medium/High, Apart from looking around in the hummer, the only thing its useful for is turrets. You want to be able to spin your turret fast, but not have it too jerky when looking around in the drivers seat.

Helicopter- High The more sensitive your mouse is to the chopper controls, the tighter and more manouverable you flying will be. Get use to flying with a sensitive mouse, it will benefit you in the long run.

Boats-Medium/Low Only used for looking around, too sensitive and the free look is annoyingly jerky.


Jets-N/A Mouse only used for Ctrl-look. If you try flying jets with a mouse you will get owned by any other keyboard/joystick user everytime. This is not up for discussion or you will be banzorred for sure. There is only 1 way and thats the right way.

my mouse... i always scoffed at the + and - sensitivity scheme until i got it myself... i love it

you get good enough with it, you can use it actively when sniping

orly? I doubt that very much so, I've been keyboard/mouse my entire BF2 lifespan, and I don't get "owned," by everything, I think I compare pretty well with the better then average pilots.

Banz0r me Duck
I can beat your joystick anyday in a jet, just watch

i use keyboard. SO your telling me you keep dragging and draggin your mouse over the pad if you want to pull up. Correct me if im wrong but using a mouse you will never get 100% tight turn.

Maybe I'm just more used to a K/B and mouse for flying, I tried some joysticks, absolutely hated them.
