    in 1.08 when i go into a tank i can't aim my view, and when i drive forward my view just jumps up and down as fast as an air drill. this happens in all vehicles and stops when i get out...

    ***there are at least 3 threads for bugs and i'm not sure which one i should put this in so i'll put it in all 3***

    all bugs should have an own topic ;)

    anyway have you checked your vehicle binds?
    they are in the \Steam\steamapps\SourceMods\Empires_108\cfg\vehicles.cfg

    I don't see what binds would have to do with it unless he aims with the keyboard(lolz!!!)...
    You sure you haven't moved the mouse too far down or up? Tank cannons can only angle so far down or up, but if you keep moving the mouse after the stopping point you'll have to move in the opposite direction an equal amount before getting back inside the "window".

    aye, i've found that trying to aim down when the turret cannot go any further will still make the "movement center" go down, so in order for you to get the turret upwards again you haveto move as much up as you did down before the turret starts moving again

    Edit: same applies when aiming up ;)

    I have one question, as i have seen problems similar to yours in many other games, are you running vista?
    If you are, thats the issue, for some reason thats what the dx10 does to alot of not-thouroughly-hacked-to-be-fixed dx9 stuff. there isnt a real fix for it out yet.
    by anyone, ms included

    none of you truely understands the problem... no i am not running vista and listen to the problem: it's not that i'm aiming to much up or down; it's just that the view is stuck either up or down, i can freely move the tank turret left and right but when i try to move it up or down it just doesn't move AT ALL. if i drive forward, the tank turret will suddenly aim upwards and downwards quickly, when i accelerate, the jumping from up to down will also be faster. when i stop, the turret will stop either up or down, still cannot be moved...

    I know what you're talking about, it's annoying as hell. I'll have to check out that unchecking joystick suggestion. Why it would be checked in the first place I don't know.

    Mantis is the bug reporter. you have to wait for a new version. if it gets fixed depends on other bugs, the most important bugs are first, ones that really screw up the game.

    well this definitly screw up the game 4 me. i'm good with tanks and every game for me is a game with absolutly no tanks on my side and lots of tanks against me (i mean "me vs tank" because my allies CAN use tanks...)

    That sucks man, I guess the best you can do is support your team as infantry until a patch is released.

    Can't really fix something when I don't have a clue as to the cause. If it were something everyone was experiencing then it would definitely be a problem with the mod, but since it's only affecting one player, it has to be a problem with his configuration.
