How to play WoT Blitz with a gamepad?

Well then. Let's start with the most important thing. The opinion that you can’t play WoT on a joystick is WRONG. Although with technical point everything is correct. The game does not see joysticks, but there is one BUT! Exist special programs for joystick calibration, among which there are those that pass off pressing buttons and rotating manipulators as pressing keys on the keyboard and rotating the mouse. One such program is called Xpadder.
Brief information about the program:
(For those who do not start, you need to set it)

Key features of Xpadder: - Support for 32 and 64 bit Windows operating systems. - Full emulation of all keyboard and mouse functions. - Supports up to 16 gamepads simultaneously. - Fine tuning pressing any button. - Ability to create individual design styles for each gamepad. - Support gaming wheels, dance carpets, guitars and other specific manipulators. - The program runs in Portable mode and is not registered in the registry. - The program has small size and will easily fit on Flash media.


Why is it needed at all? - You can play games where there is no gamepad support or it is poorly optimized. - We play on the joystick on the Internet or DOS games. - We use the gamepad as a remote control for audio-video players using hot keys. - Set up your gamepad profile for any win application.


Program settings:
1.Like all programs, Xpadder needs to be installed. (but in the link below it is installed in the archive)
2.Select the desired location and launch the program.
3.After launch, we skip windows (with a positive answer) until we find such a window:
Choose Russian (if you need to eat Chinese)
4.Then a window should appear asking where to save the configuration files
It's up to you to decide where to save it, but I chose My Documents.
5.Then they ask whether to associate or not. Choose
6.The settings window opens. (I won’t describe each button in detail, if you need to, search the internet)
7.The following window appears
8. Click Open and in the folder with the program there are images of joysticks (select which one we want, this is for convenience)
9.Then Go to the stick tab and follow the instructions (turning on and off the right and left)
On the crosspiece we proceed in the same way. And in the buttons tab, press all the buttons one by one (analog and turbo don’t count)
When you add buttons to the screen, they appear visually. (you will understand when adding how) And they can be dragged with the mouse.
In the end you should end up with something like this
10. Close the window (click Accept).
11.Click on the desired button (with the mouse in the picture) and select the desired button on the keyboard:
12. Next... Since aiming with sticks is not very convenient, we will set different sticks to different sensitivity.
Click on under the stick and select Mouse normally. We do this in the same way with the second stick.
BUT! We need to reduce the sensitivity of one of the sticks for more convenient aiming. We also do: Click on the key, but select Mouse Settings.
We see a window.
I set it to 3. You can set it your way.
13. Everything is ready.

AFTERWORD
With this program you can play any games on a joystick that do not support it. For example, I'm currently replaying Far Cry. If you have questions, write to me or in the comments under this guide. The article was taken and redone from the WoT forum.

Greetings, friends! Today we will discuss with you the topic of playing tanks online on a gamepad. If you have thought about this and did not know how to make it a reality, then this article is just for you!

Using a keyboard to play tanks online, especially if you spend several hours a day playing the game, can lead to failure of the keyboard (buttons get stuck very often), so what, I’ll throw it away and buy a new one, many people think. How much does it cost to repair a laptop keyboard?

This is a saying, a fairy tale will come, namely the use of a gamepad (please do not confuse the concepts of a gamepad and a joystick, these are different things.) in the game Tanks online.

Help - a game console (gamepad) is a type of game controller, it is a remote control that is held with two hands, etc.

Using a gamepad has several advantages: your hands don’t get tired for quite a long time, the buttons (sticks, D-pad) are located geometrically closer than on the keyboard, allows you to lie down on the sofa and immerse yourself in the game as much as possible without endangering your posture, versatility (can be used in console games), significant reduction phantom clicks.

The average keystroke lifespan on a keyboard is 5 million keystrokes, the gamepad has a resource of 50 million. Data transfer 1 ms as through wireless connection 2.4 GHz and USB up to eight times faster than standard keyboards. Everyone has their own level of comfort, but I would like to note that the controller is designed specifically for gaming, taking into account the anatomy of the hands, draw your own conclusions.

A short review of market leading gamepads

Razer Sabertooth Wired Gamepad for PC

A new innovative product from the Razer developers, every advanced gamer knows this manufacturer of gaming devices, on this moment there is no analogue on the market comparable in technical specifications and quality. Most suitable for eSports, a wired connection has the advantage of significantly reducing lag, which is critical for pro gamers.

The controller has a Soft-Touch coating, it is very pleasant to hold in your hands, the ultra-sensitive backlit buttons work literally instantly. A distinctive feature is the D-pad (crosspad) device, which is most suitable for controlling a tank; the separation of the buttons made it possible to reduce the number of false diagonal clicks.

There is a disconnect function - this is a safety feature that reduces the risk of the PC falling when the cable is pulled. This device ensures that you will never encounter a situation where the action lags behind the command.

I use this controller myself and have no complaints. One of the disadvantages is the high price. If you are not short of money, then you can buy this controller to play tanks online without thinking, you won’t go wrong.

Logitech Wireless wireless Gamepad F710

An almost ideal controller, the quality of Logitech is beyond doubt, I have tested this gamepad and can recommend it as reliable with a stable signal (feedback from the PC), there is a less expensive wired version. It is necessary to pay attention to the very hard triggers, your hands get tired quickly, I do not recommend them for teenagers.

Another, but very good wireless gamepad Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows

Everything seems to be fine and the name says that it can be used for Windows, but, alas, there is a small fly in the ointment; there will be no receiver included, you need to buy it additionally. There are many difficulties associated with purchasing a receiver; I don’t want to dwell on this issue in detail.

Microsoft Xbox 360 Controller for Windows wired gamepad for PC

Stylized version

This model with a USB connection, a very reliable design, is suitable for fans of e-sports in tanks online. The cable also has a special fuse that will prevent you from dropping your computer on the floor or damaging the USB connector if you accidentally snag the cable.

A wired connection has a number of advantages: you can connect the headset via a gamepad, there is no dependence on batteries, which discharge at the most inopportune moment, are lighter than wireless versions.

Pleasant, non-slip plastic, the buttons are responsive and quiet, nothing creaks or rattles. If the wires get in the way and this is critical for you, then wireless is of course better. Tested this device, there were only positive impressions.

Choosing a gamepad for PC

When purchasing a device, you need to pay attention to the compatibility of the gamepad with a personal computer (PC). They are very often used with set-top boxes and some versions are not suitable for use on a computer (be careful).

When purchasing this device, do not rely on the help of sales consultants; very often you can meet amateurs who, out of holy innocence, do not give accurate information, but their assumptions.

But maybe you have a different karma and you are lucky and your sales consultant will be okay, I strongly recommend that you study the problems yourself before you go shopping.

How to make the gamepad work in the game tanks online

Well, my dear reader, we got to the fairy tale, we bought, installed drivers, but it doesn’t work, what is it, what to do, where to run, who to blame? Take your time, everything will work out, you just need to install the JoyToKey program, which simulates the operation of the keyboard using a gamepad.

There are a lot of emulator programs, but from those presented free versions I prefer JoyToKey, I want to warn you that the widely used “Xpadder” program does not work on Windows 8, no matter how hard I tried it, it couldn’t be launched.

The JoyToKey 5.0.1 program can be found freely available on the vast expanses of the Internet, here is what it looks like.

The program is intuitive, we press any key on the gamepad and the settings line is highlighted in yellow, then we click on the line and see the following.

In the window, highlighted in yellow (indicated by a red arrow), we set the value of the button, simply press the desired button on the keyboard and in the window we see the display of the specified value. This operation repeat to configure each gamepad button.

For each button you can configure up to 4 functions, for example, assign the activation of the “bunk” with one button, in the corresponding windows we set the value (1,2,3,4) and confirm the settings by pressing the “Yes” button, now you can turn it on with one button.

Pay attention to the auto-repeat settings, in this way you can configure the Twins gun according to the “lay a brick on a space” principle. In the auto-repeat and switching application, check the boxes: auto-repeat, switch between On and Off, start auto-repeat after a delay, confirm the settings, click the “Yes” button, now you can press the configured button and shooting will be carried out without holding the button.

We configure the “Options” tab according to the sample, be sure to set the value of stick No. 2 to 10%, for the Microsoft Xbox 360 controller. The program has a large number of settings, we only briefly touched on the main ones, at random, and using the “Help” tab you can study the program in more detail.

The diagram for setting up the buttons is the simplest, the settings options are simply enormous, please pay attention to the photo, you can’t see both triggers on which to set the tank’s movement. The photo of the gamepad at the beginning of the article clearly shows the location of the triggers.

A small subtlety, not all users know that you can customize the action for pressing the stick from above (there are two lower levers in the photo), but you and I know and will definitely configure it.

Learning to play tanks online with a gamepad

The next step in playing with a gamepad is training. If you have previously played on a keyboard, you will have to spend time mastering this device. Starting something new is always difficult, but the time spent will pay off in terms of convenience in the game.

The main thing is, don’t make hasty conclusions if something doesn’t work out, remember the proverb “ patience and a little effort" Our world is full of confrontations, everyone has their own, it’s true, and everyone proves to someone that they are better, similar situation It also works out when it comes to playing on the keyboard and gamepad.

Despite periodic outbursts of aggression from conservative PC players who foam at the mouth to defend the advantages of playing on a keyboard, more and more players are using a gamepad in games, progress cannot be stopped. All that remains is to wish everyone to play and win!

Conclusion

I hope that in the future, online tank developers will provide the ability to play on a gamepad without the need to use emulator programs. If you purchased a gamepad and have difficulties with installation and settings, then I am always ready to help, look for me in the game tanks online, my nickname is StormPetrel.

What is a gamepad?

Game console (gamepad, joypad) is a type of game controller. It is a remote control that is held with two hands and at the same time you can use a gamepad, which in turn is used with one hand; the thumbs are used to control its controls (in modern gamepads the index and middle fingers are also often used).

Gamepads provide interaction between the player and the game console. However, gamepads are also used on personal computers, although users in most cases prefer to use a familiar keyboard (regular or gaming) and mouse. The standard design of the gamepad is as follows: under the left hand there are direction buttons (forward-back-left-right), under the right hand there are action buttons (jump, shoot)

Selecting and purchasing a gamepad

So, what kind of gamepads are there, and how to choose a gamepad for your computer that is right for you? Initially, you need to decide on the multi-platform nature of the manipulator. If you have a game console in addition to your PC, then the best option there will be a gamepad that supports connection to both platforms (we played on the computer, and then switched to the PlayStation3 with the same gamepad).

Gamepads can be wired or wireless. The advantages of the latter are obvious, but they also have such an important disadvantage as price: the cost of wireless manipulators is noticeably higher than the cost of wired ones. In addition, to operate, such gamepads require batteries or rechargeable batteries, which, of course, add weight, which may not be very convenient for a small child. Therefore, before choosing a gamepad, evaluate all the pros and cons here.

Gamepads can also be divided into two types: with and without analog joysticks. Of course, the presence of additional joysticks adds to the price, but they are not replaceable for tanks online (except perhaps for fighting games and football simulators).

Don't forget about the number of buttons. For tanks there are at least 10 buttons and it is likely that if you select a gamepad with a large number of them, the rest will never be used.

As for the manufacturer, the choice is quite wide, and it is not easy to single out one leader. Many brands make a quality product in a convenient package. The main thing here is not to buy the cheapest gamepad in its segment, because, as a rule, the reliability of such manipulators leaves much to be desired and they “live” no more than two to three months.

Gamepad requirements for Tanks Online:

1. Compatible with your PC.
2. The presence of a cross-pad (D-PAD) in the gamepad.
3. The presence of 2 sticks in the gamepad.
4. Presence of at least 10 buttons.

How to connect Tanki Online with a gamepad?

Xpadder is a program for simulating keyboard keystrokes and mouse movements using a gamepad.

Installing Xpadder

2. By default, Xpadder is configured to play online games, on the dendyemulator website. But there is no full guarantee that all these settings will work with your gamepad.

3. To configure the controls, you need to click on the joystick icon in the upper left corner. In the drop-down menu, you must select "Settings". As shown in the photo below.

4. The control settings window will appear:

6. Select a joystick similar to yours. Or take a photo of your gamepad and put it in the "Controller Images" folder.

7. Setting up the buttons. Select the “Buttons” tab and press the required button on the gamepad. A square representing a button will appear on the photo. Drag the button to the desired area of ​​the controller image.

8. Having placed the buttons, click “Accept”

9. Now, you need to configure the sticks and joystick cross. Open the settings again.

11. Now the program needs to recognize the stick. Press the joystick first left then right.

In this article we will look at how you can connect a gamepad to your computer and play World of Tanks on it. Using the Dualshock 4 as an example, let's look at all the settings.

Instructions for perverts

Why for perverts? It's simple and there are three reasons for this:

1 - there is no special joystick for World of Tanks;
2 - I personally think that there is nothing more convenient than a keyboard and mouse for aiming;
3 - although the instructions are described in sufficient detail, some users do not understand them.

This experiment of connecting the Dualshock 4 to a computer and then playing WOT was done purely out of curiosity. The instructions are universal and will fit almost any controller!

How to play World of Tanks with a joystick?(using the example of a gamepad from Sony Playstation 4 - Dualshock 4)?

1) Connect the joystick to the computer via a USB cable. My Windows 7 detected it without any problems and installed the driver:

2) Now we need a program Xpadder. We open it, select the Russian language, the folder to save the settings, allow the installation of file associations and skip all other messages. As a result, you should see a window like this:

3) Click on the button indicated by the arrow, in the menu that appears, select " New". The following window appears:

In this window we need to customize the appearance of the controller, as well as press the buttons, but first things first.

4) Appearance joystick. If you are using Dualshock 4 like me, then just copy the image below ( right button mouse > Copy Image), and in the Xpadder window click the " Insert":

If you use a different joystick, you can see what is in the folder controllerimages, which comes with the program - press the button " Open"That's why we're looking for the specified folder. If you didn't find anything there, you can search the program's official forum in a special section.

If you don’t find anything there, then simply select any controller image (the most similar one). Ultimately, this image has no effect on anything.!

It should look like this:

5) Finding sticks- select the appropriate menu (in the left column open window programs), put a checkmark next to the left stick " Included", a circle indicating the left stick will appear on the screen, along with instructions. We repeat on a gamepad, what is asked of us in the instructions! That is, we turn the stick in the indicated directions:

After several movements (I usually have two of them - left and up), we drag the circle indicating the stick with the mouse to its place on the photo of the joystick. Repeat the operation for the right stick.

If you did everything correctly, then when using the sticks the indicators will work:

6) We are looking for a cross- this is the next menu item. The same as with sticks after pressing the check mark " Turn on", press on the joystick D-pad buttons in the specified sequence!

7) Finding the rest of the buttons- just press them one by one on the gamepad and they will appear on the screen, and then drag them to the desired place with the mouse. Pressing the joystick button again will be accompanied by a blinking indicator in the program window.

To make it easier to understand, I recorded a video ( in which I forgot about the L2 and R2 buttons, but don’t forget!):

9) Press the button " Accept" in the lower right corner and we see the following window:

No buttons have been assigned yet, it's time to set the mappings.

10) Define the mouse. Near the sticks you can see small icons of keys (settings). Click on the right one and select - " Mouse is ok".

To adjust the sensitivity, do the following: again click on key > Settings...

A window appears in which we select Mouse settings... in the lower left corner:

In the window that appears, we adjust the sensitivity values ​​vertically and horizontally (marked with arrows). For convenience, you can check the box below " Move together" and then the sliders will move as one.

On the right side of the window you can conduct tests by controlling the stick.

11) Defining movement buttons. The left stick will replace the WSAD buttons - to do this, click on the key next to the stick and select " W, S, A, D (C, S, F, V)".

By now you should have something like this:

12) Defining the remaining buttons. To do this, click on the button you need on the image of the gamepad, and then press on a regular keyboard the button that the gamepad should emulate. In this case, the following window appears on the screen (in which the desired key can also be selected with the mouse):

If you want to cancel the current value of the button, click " NONE".

I recommend assigning buttons to your own taste and color. There cannot be any special instructions here, just do what is most convenient for you. It may not work the first time, for example, when I pressed the cross up, I did zoom in (analog = mouse wheel up), and the cross down - zoom out (analog = mouse wheel down), but this layout did not justify itself in battle, so I had to transfer these values ​​to the R2 and L2 buttons.

In general, experiment. After you make the changes, do not forget to save the profile in the Xpadder program by clicking on the same button with which we started, selecting "New" (at the very beginning of the article there is a screenshot), just to save you need to click " Save as...".

List of World of Tanks control buttons

When I set up the joystick, such a list was not at hand, so I had to assign the gamepad buttons from memory.

Show control buttons in World of Tanks









Naturally, a gamepad will not be enough for all the buttons, so decide on the basic necessary functions that you want to assign to the joystick.

Video instruction

This video was not recorded by me, but by an author unknown to me. It demonstrates the joystick setup from the XBOX 360, but nevertheless goes through all the same steps described in this article, which once again confirms its versatility.

On my own behalf, I’ll add that controlling World of Tanks with a joystick is of course unusual (aiming on a Dualshock 4 is difficult, but you can learn). But this is a matter of taste. Perhaps thanks to this article it will be possible to attract console players to the game, who will now be able to play World of Tanks using their favorite controller.

With the active release of more and more new games, namely flight stimulators, the demand for joysticks began to grow, which are currently an indispensable component for fans computer games And avid gamers. allows you to make the game much more exciting, allowing you to be completely transported into the world of the game.

In our article today we will talk about game controllers, namely joysticks.

It is generally accepted that initially the name of this device sounded like George Stick in honor of its inventor A.E. George, and only over time did gamers-aviators rename it “joystick”, which means “fun stick”.

Today, gamers have the opportunity to choose a joystick based on certain characteristics, ergonomics, and most importantly, price category. So, what do you need to consider to choose the model that is right for you?

First of all, when choosing gaming stimulators, it is worth determining the boundary between the actual joystick-handles and gaming panels-gamepads. The difference between these devices lies in their control. By controlling the joystick, you move the handle (tilt forward-backward, left-right). While a gamepad uses buttons for control.

And there are games in which a joystick is simply necessary. These include games that require high positioning accuracy, namely ship and submarine simulators, air and space simulators, and tank simulators. Recently, the games World of Tanks and World of Planes have been in great demand among gamers, which has led to an increase in demand for joysticks for World Of Planes and World Of Tanks. The developers of these games mean that the game will use a joystick, with which you can control the flight parameters, find and attack the target, and it will simply be impossible to simply enjoy the game to the fullest without a joystick.

Nowadays, the choice of modern joysticks is very large. They differ from each other in the presence or absence of additional components and switches, the number of buttons, the presence of " feedback" and other additional features that affect the price.
By purchasing joysticks for World Of Planes and World Of Tanks First of all, you should take into account whether it has such necessary characteristics as:

Three-axis movement. Two axes of movement “forward-backward” and “right-left” are available on a standard joystick. But when playing flight simulators, the “third axis” will not be superfluous, namely the rudder. The action of the "third axis" in joysticks is achieved by rotating, but not deflecting, the joystick handle.

Throttle controller available. The throttle controller is the engine control handle. With this device you can control the speed of your vehicle in Game.
Lots of buttons is not a fundamental advantage of joysticks.

Average joysticks for World Of Planes and World Of Tanks have from 7 to 12 buttons. Some joysticks have buttons that can act as the Shift key. There are also models of joysticks in which you can program some buttons to perform certain functions. But still, no matter how many buttons there are on the joystick, it is not possible to completely abandon keyboard control.

Ergonomics should be taken into account when choosing a joystick.
The device should be comfortable for the owner’s hand and fit the size of the hand. Therefore, when buying a joystick, you should try to hold it in your hands.
Plus, special attention should be paid to the size and stability of the stand. It must have a certain weight. If the stand is light enough, then during the game it will move around the table, which reduces the accuracy of control, and with a sudden movement, the device can even be knocked over.
Another factor in the ergonomics of joysticks is the wireless modification. But this has its pros and cons. The advantages are the absence of constantly tangling wires, and the disadvantages are, of course, the high price of such devices. Moreover, the batteries of the wireless joystick can run out during the game.

One of the newest joysticks is the Mad Catz F.L.Y 5 Flight Stick. This is an excellent high-quality joystick, distinguished by its versatility. This is an excellent choice for both hardcore and arcade flight and space stimulators. Very reasonable price for wireless device attracts many buyers who have chosen the Mad Catz F.L.Y 5 Flight Stick joystick.

Buy joystick Mad Catz F.L.Y 5 Flight Stick at a super price possible in our online store of the company "UNDERgROUND". Our large range of computer products and components for favorable price You will be pleasantly surprised!
