How can I improve aiming with my gamepad?
After playing the very first mission in the PC version of Valkyria Chronicles, I noticed how difficult it is to aim with a gamepad.
Specifically: The dead zone is too large in this game, meaning I have to push the analog stick very far before my reticle will move and when it does, it moves too fast. Luckily, I can still use my mouse for precision aiming, but having to switch input devices all the time can be quite tiring.
It appears the large dead zone is actually a bug in the game, where pushing the stick only slightly will move the aiming reticle in the opposite direction.
Also, aiming is done with the left stick; this is not very intuitive since looking around is done using the right one. In aiming mode, aiming (and thus looking around) suddenly switches to the left stick.
