Shift+S=/=180 turn with my controls.

My movement controls: E, forward; D, backward; F, right; S, left; A, dodge/turn/boost modifier.

But I use it, I find it funny when I 'dance' around mech pilots who can't hit me cause of dodge spin and jump combinations.

(I also use it to help run, like a cheetah.)

Also, I remember watching a vid that said if you 180 before your heal, you mech drops down to heal slightly faster b/c it aligns your mech's upper and lower body(meaning that part of healing is already done).

Really_

P.S. I give up.. lol

I wish I could find out if this is true. I bet AJK could do some testing to confirm or bust it, b/c after reading about what he does to test the weapons and give dps numbers for everybody... I sure as heck don't have the patience for that! The 180 has a very practical use anyways in a situation where you drop down to heal, It just means you are facing the same direction you were retreating from(meaning you won't have to 180 first if somebody follows you). So I do it out of habit for that reason much of the time, not specifically for quicker heals.

I would love to have the option to turn it off. simples

[Alastor_Crow]

When someone shoots me from behind, I just side dodge while moving my view around to the enemy. At that point, I decide whether to fight back or if it's safe to flee based on position and the alpha strike damage caused.

[Blackravage]

Give us the option to turn it off if we want. That's all that's needed.

I have gotten plenty of use out of the 180 turn, and have incorporated it into several tactics I use regularly.

The only time I find it annoying is when, due to lag or whatever glitch causes this, double tap forward becomes the 180 spin. I had one instance where I was trying to boost towards an opponent in my Scout, I hit double tap forward four times in a row and I spun a 1080, ended up facing away from him, and then finally boosted away instead of towards him.

180 turn is very useful feature, but my proposition about to make shift+s for dodge back, and 180 turn with other button. should be perfect i think

[Anghwyr]

I seem to intuitively expect boost-s to boost me backwards, rather than turning me around. Would prefer a backwards-booster

Back dodges have been brought up multiple times before, and the answer has always been no.  Use the search for backwards boost or back dodge.  Also, this post from Elix which (IIRC) uses a post from AJK.

I hit it by accident because I'm new to the game and haven't learned how to incorporate it yet. What I'd like is to have the function of the 180* turn be a separate mapping function, so I can set it to CTRL for now. That makes it so I won't hit it accidentally, but also doesn't shift the balance of the game like adding a back dash would.

[Analysis]

I never use it.

Turning around might be slower, but at least it's realistic. Insta180 is a fuzzy bunny control that should have no place in this game. Doesn't matter if it saves your arse, it should not be there.
We have limited fuel capacity, limited turning and forward speed but hey here's an instant 180 turn... My bunny!

[NegativeD]

It be cool if we could change the key bind instead of shift s, if we can please let me know, I have yet still to find the option :S

[FirstRaven]

There at least a few threads on this.
Just reasign the key so there is no shift+s.
Made a world of difference for me.

NegativeD, you used to be able to access the code, pre-steam. Don't know if you can or even have to anymore.
Change the key binding in the first column of "Move Back" while keeping the second column "S".
Let me know if that works- that's how mine shows up, and I have 'shift+s' disabled, though shift works for all the other directions.

It's okay feature, but it would be nice to have an option to rebind 180 turn since some players have problems with it.
