[QUOTE="vikingerik, post: 189651, member: 3745"] Camera angle, portrait view, and a 10" tablet screen instead of 24" are aspects of one same problem. All those together make the flippers and ball really tiny. The visibility just isn't as good for fine details of ball position and movements. Nudging is hard too, I can't get the hang of swiping while holding a flipper. They've been separate buttons for 20 years for me going back to Epic Pinball. But the big problem is lack of precise timing with touchscreen control. I have an incredibly accurate sense of timing for video games. I routinely pull off moves on NES games and stuff like Guitar Hero that take single-frame timing precision. I can do bangbacks in Pro Pinball with a keyboard more than half the time, thanks to having the timings drilled into my muscle memory. But touchscreens just can't do that. The nature of the capacitative touchscreen gives precision of maybe 50 ms rather than 17, and that's way more than enough to make me miss almost every shot. I actually even completely whiff with the Timeshock upper flipper sometimes. [/QUOTE]
