[Video] Excited for gimbal assist in 3.5!

I see the positives and negatives of this. It’s going to make turret gameplay so much better but PVP is going to get a lot more challenging.
Gimballed mouse pilots aim with their mouse, fixed flightstick pilots aim with their ship, although I noticed that it is also possible to fly gimballed with a flightstick, if you set look ahead and target focus correct. Your ship lags behind your aim, your aim is more precise, not dependent on the mass and inertia of your ship.
Wait till i actually try it with the new flight model to judge, i do like the focus on combat balancing.

I think gimbal assist it great, more casuals will be playing and if its straight one-sided it will kill the fun for most of the player base. This is a video game first and a simulator second. People with flight sticks will be able to use them and not get completely smashed to pieces and will be able to enjoy a combat fight.

I agree with Toys, and I would add that this will force pilots to fly more defensively, trying to get behind their opponents because they can't depend upon their opponent's crappy shooting to keep them safe. Eventually this should force piloting skills to develop and the best pilots will still be able to hit much harder by flying fixed.
Sounds good to me.
My whiny complaint is that the ships page does not currently tell us what has gimbals. That sucks.
Does anyone know if this gimbal assist works with remote turrets, like the chin mount on the Vanguard and Polaris?

I think it's a great idea, no reason not to implement it. I fly fixed with my sticks, but we'll see how i do in the new model and gimbals.

I can think of at least one occasion when fashionably late isn't really acceptable, unless you're 2 1/2.Dude, the coolest of cats are fashionably late to any occasion
there is no such thing as an elite large fleet
since size is our key advantage, gimbal assist is a good thing for TEST
Corporate Efficiency FTW

It helps those of us who are not to shoot carebears more quickly and efficiently - reducing suffering!
