For anyone wanting the original mouse controls back a new option now exists that allows you to have that

[Bleh]

As of patch 4.506 I have discovered an extra option that allows you change the mouse controls back to the way they used to be. So no more endless dragging your mouse around just to turn the turret 90+ degrees.

 

Go to "input devices" look at the "mouse" section and increase the "tank aim amplifier" setting to your liking. (setting it to 10 means the circle reticle will never reset and stays where you put it on the screen, like it used to be).

 

Thanks for listening IL2 devs I am back to being a happy tanker.

Really cool. I was wondering about that.
