Damn. is this some low key US Navy recruiting?

>controller over a keyboard and mouse
now we know why they've been crashing almost everyday now

Those government contracted joysticks were like 50k each and broke down all the fucking time

>using a controller to control things

Either use the controller to steer the ship or don't use it at all.
Navy doesn't even know how to play vidya

What a joke the military has become. Now they want to recruit useless gamers

KEK this

>Now they want to recruit useless gamers
ignoring the meme war
>useless

This. A rack of 20 X-Box controllers in some cabinet gives you enough replacements till your god-damn refit.

Commonality is also nice: Any station on your ship that requires an analogue input can be replaced with a 50 dollar controller (At least until a contractor starts making aluminum billet controllers for a grand a pop or 100 bucks if you promise you won't tell the DOD what they actually cost.)

US Navy confirmed for scrubs.

>using a remote that contours to the human hand and has a lot of functions on it is a bad thing

I work on army software. There is a YUGE push to use commercial off the shelf software and hardware because it's MUCH cheaper than designing and manufacturing something from scratch. OP is a faggot.

>a bunch of neckbeards talking anything military

Don't see the issue. They are dirt cheap, durable, universal, do the job as well or better, and take zero to minimal training to operate.

Instead I think you should be praising the rare good sense shown in military procurement.

>US Navy confirmed for scrubs.
they can't even get their fucking ships into the sky.
>disgrace

It's fine for steering and firing the rockets.
The computer master race is for first person shooters.
If you are firing the guns with a controller your going to suck.

Maybe it will help them from hitting so many fucking chinese freighters.

Heil Sergeant, Commorade. Have you latrined your portcullis this fine O-Hundred?
>HOO HAW

nice mustache faggot

>cannon fodder talking anything remotely technologically advanced

they are dumbing down a US sub so even an 8 year old could control it. What does that say about our Navy?

This, remote controlled terminators will require a keyboard and mouse, guided zunis can use a xbox controller.

...

Our Naval fleet is literally a floating housing project. Have you ever been to a Naval Medical Center? It's like going to an ER in Detroit.

maybe the military should be abolished.

That they are smart enough to spend 30 dollars for generic hardware instead of 50k to do the same thing.

>Beep Boop
>Wahoo
>1 up

>plural of child is child's
You'll be the first to hang

it doesnt do the same thing. All that deadzone on the xbox joysticks will end up getting thousands killed over the next decade.

Are they, dayrayesayitt, Sup Forums's goys?

the funny thing is that the future US army will be a bunch of fat nerds controlling drones and droids

No wonder they keep crashing their boats. They're a bunch of consolefags

Then all those retarded niggers would be wondering around our streets

>implying guns on autonomous/remote vehicles have anything other than a "kill everything within 5km" button

The Xbox controller deadzones are software-defined.

Next step, achievements.

>Kids these days don't know how to use joysticks

Really? I mean come on, it's better for video games where you control a vehicle.

i don't see what the problem is, 81% of the fighting age adults play video games, they'll already be familiar with using a gamepad

t. pleb that never played Freespace

Negative. They already have an AI capable of making command and control decisions. That is primarily what the Jade Helm exercises are about.

>Freespace

Nope, what is it?

its 30 dollars, its shit. the sensors are shit.

As someone who played xbox for many years I can tell you right now that every xbox 360 controller has defective chink shit buttons for the lb and rb resulting in button presses not being received,
>AND THE JOYSTICKS WILL BE MORE LOOSE THAN OPS MOTHER IN A SINGLE FUCKING YEAR
Google "wandering joystick" if you dont believe me.

what is this

>take down aircraft carrier
>ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: The Bigger They Are...

Videogames are played by all parts of the military. What do you think they do on their off time while on tour? Especially on a ship.

the xbox 360 controller is a modern marvel of human interface. fuck off you actual fucking moron.

Red Orchestra.

>the xbox 360 controller is a modern marvel of human interface

>Xbox 360 controller
good choice.

the country that uses keyboard and mouse will win the next world war.

>Bro if you ain't in the thick of gunshots and explosions, screaming, crying, covered in blood and sweat with your friends dying and you snuffing out life with your hands you ain't shit!
INFANTRY HOOO RAAAH!

Most of our killing is done with toys user.

From my experience they go out to bars, and tell everyone they are special forces. Then they get in fights like a bunch of niggers.

>not the steam Controller

It is. Big enough for my hands. Nice feel to the triggers with just enough balance between resistance and sensitivity. The joysticks rarely deteriorate. Good feel on the buttons.

Although, fuck the D-pad on that thing. It's awful.

Wouldn't it make more sense to use an xbone or ps4 controllers since they're bluetooth enabled?

For some reason the more I look at the picture the more the way he is holding it annoys me.
You guys aren't even going to create some kind of a base that he can slide it into so he can stand there and use it comfortably?

That's dangerous as hell considering how quickly those controller's deteriorate.

>take down an aircraft carrier with torpedoes, without being detected by the rest of the battle group
>ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: Do what you must, I have already won.

>destroy an aircraft carrier with anti-ship missiles from 2000km away
>ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: Look at me... look at me... I'm the king of the seas now.

>not using some pro logitech joystick

My uncle suggested I join the military, but I feel like I'm too much of a free thinker with an inherent need to question authority? Should I even bother?

>Implying the 50k joystick has a sensor that's more than 50 dollars.

there is no such thing as a secure bluetooth connection. the last thing the Navy needs in an excuse when they fuck everything up.

no. run away to trade school. if you want danger and travel become an underwater welder. you'll be making $150k in no time.

No you shouldn't. Genuine answer. Although look to see if you can serve in other ways. I'm like you, but I tried commissioning and was actually denied on medical grounds (unless a war pops off). After a while of feeling like shit about not even getting into the military I realized it was a gift. 4-5 years of babysitting retards and being told what to do 24/7. Nah man.

Why not join for the free healthcare and money and education like everyone else? Oh wait, I mean "they joined to serve their country" MUH PATRIOTISM

>underwater welder
Sounds cool as fuck. Will look into.

The other issue is that I've been taking Adderall for ADHD for a few years. Don't know if I could handle the withdrawal going cold turkey.

Welcome to USA, if it wasn't for our fancy toys a bunch of malnourished natives from the jungle could probably take our country.

They're so small and cheap it's not really a problem to just bring extras though.

If that's on record you won't get it period.

THE A.I HAS ALREADY PUT YOU ON THE BLOCK LIST

I wish I would have went that route, but I decided I wanted to work on heavy equipment. Tonka trucks are cool, don't get me wrong, and I get to play with 5000 ft lb torque wrenches in weird places. Deep sea/underwater welders don't have to work near as much, or as often.

This. I used to play bad company 2 with and against millitary personnel all the time.

the military is worse than people on welfare.

the crashes were surface ships, not subs.
also, only virginia class subs use a joystick, like a fightee jet... LA and ssbn use a helms and planesman.
please dont confuse surface navy with the sub force. we should honestly be our own branch. Shouldnt even go to the same boot camp, BESS is the real boot camp for subs. Everything you learn in the former goes into the trash after youre done.

Stop leeching off the government you sub faggot

they arent. New virginia class sub pilot course and quals are only available once you hit first class or chief.
previously, fresh e1 unqualed nubs piloted the sub at the wheel.....

This is a non-issue. I've worked for Electronic Arts in the past, and this never bothered anyone because Microsoft gave us literal pallets worth all the time so if yours is even a tiny bit defective just grab another one from the bin. They wanted us developing on and for their technology and it costs them basically nothing to give us the controllers. That's just a corporation, imagine the deal the government must get on buying these in bulk for the Navy.

>has no idea what subs do on mission


moochers are on carriers and destroyers.
destroyers literally have no reason to exist in a world with SSGN's, that can do their job without the entire shit group of targets.
carriers are vacation house party boats where enlisted do zero work and flight officers get to play pilot practice. disgusting waste of money.

I like that he's playing WoW on a console with a controller.

ironically all you need is like 9 buttons to play it anymore
its casual paradise

As someone who was a Navy ATF IT for 4 years, I can confirm Navy IT is autistic af. Its pretty much only stoners addicted to Minecraft who LARP as elite hackers.

Pretty comfy desu. Would recommend.

They should use the elite controller for better combos

Option 1) File a government contract to create a dual stick USB controller up to military specifications that has to run through test committees and government approval councils before it even gets considered put in the budget

2) Use the USB XBox 360 controllers they keep in stock at the base/port store.

Im sure they are getting a good deal, but for a military operations they probably dont want something that can(will) go out in the middle of battle.
