you know, the reason using the current keyb. layout was...
1. Usefull for SH3/4 veterans, much closer to it, the majority of the target user group was used to it.
2. More usefull with new additional modded key commands.
3. Not intended to be shooter friendly, this is a different genre.
...iam shure someone did allready a common "WASD" shooter`s housewive layout, he is very welcome to post it here
...i know also that some keys are a bit unlucky at current, for example the hydrophone rotate keys.
