Testing out what?
its a feature that’s been in the game a long time, it help you steer based on where you’re looking,
It helps give you a little bit extra mobility, i’m testing it out and putting it inside a video for side by side comparison,
Driver Assist On: (its not toggleable, you need to hold it)
Driver Assist Off
In that clip i didn’t touch either my A or D keys once, just used the Driver Assist function
(Ignore the engine sound, for some reason when I clip through Xbox Gamebar it’s really quiet or gone completely)
Driver Assist works for both Tracked, Wheeled and Halftrack vehicles,
its useful for maintaining speed in a wheeled vehicle through small adjustments,
It helps halftracks more than others, providing you don’t try and turn too hard
For tracked vehicles it only assists slightly in mobility, but it does help avoid oversteering and needing to correct yourself (where on something like the scimitar you would kill all your speed with how poorly it’s modelled)
TLDR; its very niche but can help at times
I never knew that even existed :D
Thank you
you’d have to do your own testing with it to see if its useful
ill post a link to my video where you can see a side to side comparison, despite it being completely unrefined
maybe with this feature we could get gaijin to turn it into Regenerative steering
Yeah, i can see it being useful for wheeled stuff, but I doubt Id use it for tracked stuff and I rarely play wheeled stuff. Just good its a keybind and not an annoying buried setting toggle like a few other things are
and for the TLDR of it all

Looks basically like regen steering, the lack of the full stop on the right or left track when turning is huge. may have to check it out in the chally.
Although, from the looks of it it seems just mask the underlying problem which is were still using left and right braking to turn modern tanks that would never use it other than a handbrake turn or drift.
Its not quite regen steering, theres no power on the track you’re turning into
I would’ve tested a chally 2 if i had any of them without a stock engine
Though it probably wouldn’t be too hard for gaijin to morph this into regen steering, but it is gaijin so probably not ever going to get regen steering
