It's a bit silly but I can't help it sometimes to lean in the direction I am trying to turn or maneuver my mech ...

Anyone else do this?

[Voridan Atreides]

I used to do that with certain racing games. I would lean to the direction I was steering. I don't do it with mwo though.

[Typhon27]

What? Are you saying it doesn't help?

[Ryvucz]

I haven't leaned or attempted to jump with video game movement since the release of the NES, playing Super Mario Bros. =P

[Dracol]

Only when running light mechs at 120kph and I'm cutting it close to buildings.

I think it does ...

[Jman5]

When things get intense, I start leaning. A lot...

[CMDR Sunset Shimmer]

When I'm using a joystick... >_>

[Bagheera]

Not only do I lean when turning, but when I'm on a ridge and trying to shoot a mech below me, I lean forward as if my perspective would change and enable me to see below and closer to my mech.

Every. Time.

This used to be something I would do in a Commando. I believe it is called an Interactive Experience.

When collisions were in it was a thrill every second weaving in and around heavier mechs, knowing any contact was death.

leaning improves directional turns by 10%. its not in the patch notes though

[Foksuh]

It's a weird thing, but yeah. Try and peek around that corner, turn faster, lean closer when zooming and sniping.. Game is messing with my head!

[Felis]

I only lean when using a joystick, and then mostly with space-sims - you know, when you are about to crash into that capital ship.. Don't use a joystick with MWO.

When I used to use a joystick, I my elbows would be on the floor.

Now that mouse-play is god and joysticks are gimp, no more lean

[Like a Sir]

Used to do it as a kid. There was a game called Heavenly Blade on PS3, that actally used the 6 axis controller in certain parts of the game. I was on my 2nd deployment playing it and had a bunch of guys make fun of me for twisting the joystick every which way "like it would help"... - one time I got to call someone "special" while doing that lol

[FrostCollar]

No I don't.

But do I flinch when a light mech I'm in is getting hit by curtains of LRMs? You bet.

[Arcturious]

All the time. Nearly every time my wife walks into the room she comments on it "Does the leaning help?" Or "You're leaning again".

It's really obvious when I am being hit by LRM - I hunch down and shake my head around sigh.

[Dethl0k]

its common knowledge leaning only helps you on racing games in curves and when shooting 3 pointers

[Aznpersuasion89]

when i aim far to any direction i look in that direction
