Mapping Fire button to keyboard

When I tried to map the fire button to my space bar (I like battleships...) I get the message "You should use mouse keys only for this command"

 

Thanks for suggestion I guess, but I'd really like to map it to my keyboard. I feel like sometimes when I click my cursor goes off target which is annoying, and I feel like a keyboard binding would be more immersive. Not really sure why they won't let players map the keys any way they want though? Is there some fairness issue or exploitable abilities?

That's...really odd. I actually haven't tried binding a fire key to my keyboard [not counting IL-2 Sturmovik, I was [censored] at that game], but I do know thats a thing some people would do. However, the fact WG did that is very, very strange.

I know right? I think this thread is more appropriate for the suggestion forum, but I guess I'm curious what their reason might be for straight up not allowing people to map the fire command to the keyboard.

It probably has to do with the fact that there are three different fire commands associated with the mouse button and the computer treats mouse buttons differently than keys.

  1. Tapping fires one gun.
  2. Double tap fires all turrets that can bear.
  3. Press and hold fires all turrets that can bear in ripple fire.

 

Find a list of commands here.
