Mouse Issues, Fullscreen

The mouse movement is far too smoothed. The, uh, crosshair (for lack of a better term) continues to move after I've stopped moving the mouse. Smoothing mouse movement is fine, but currently it's so smooth that it effectively makes precise mouse aiming impossible.
Secondly, the game forgets that I have it set to full screen every time I quit. I have the game resolution set the same as my desktop resolution (1280 x 1024) and the game always opens in an 800 x 600 window, even though it shows that I have 1280 x 1024 set as my game resolution.

Precise aiming is possible, it is just a natter of learning to lead corretly and predict where your shots will land.
Note that the mouse sensitivity an be adjusted, to make the mouse input a little more responsive.

To add to waht Clark is saying,when the crosshair system is tighened up, it is totally impossible to use it when you are moving. The 'tightness' was as tight as we could get it and stil have it useful for both shooting while driving and shooting while statiionary. Precise aiming is possible, it is just a natter of learning to lead corretly and predict where your shots will land.

The smoothing of the reticle is the result of fine tuning and balancing the gameplay. Believe me, the game play is much improved with this feature. The turret itself, you will notice, is not smoothed, so you can still make fine adjustments during combat. A few people during beta testing had a similar issue with the smoothing to yours, but after a little play time most were happy with it.
The full screen setting not getting saved is a bug in the demo. This will be fixed along with a few other minor bugs in a future update (give us a week or two). The full game does not have this issue, by the way.
Thanks for your input and I hope you have enjoyed playing ThinkTanks so far.
