Yeah, and the implementation on the Leo 2s makes them considerably worse, while how it is implemented on the Type 10 makes that tank better.
lighter faster tank is just allowed to reflect that its lighter and faster. Clearly this is bad for the game and we must keep every vehicle turning like a cheap chinese made RC tank from taobao

It’s not about it being lighter, it’s about that it can actually still turn somewhat sharpish at high speed. The Leopard 2s now had the turning circle of the Yamato at high speed on the dev server.
Im being genuine here. Was i testing out a completely different system? the Leo hulls were great, was a major improvement in almost every situation i can think of beyond ones that are absurd for a 60+ ton tank.
this will improve handling for applicable tanks across the board, this has to just be players allergic to change.
it feels like a mid point between the sluggish skid steering and wheeled vehicles to me

I mostly tested the EMBTs, 2A6 and 2A7V. It was the worst feeling I have had driving any top tier MBT in game, and I have driven the majority of top tier MBTs that are available in game.
They got turned from somewhat decent-great tanks to just free kills, but I’ll gladly farm those.
I was primarily using the vickers mk7, which admittedly is the lightest leopard 2 hull in game. But i was also testing out the premium and squadron vehicles in test drives and noticed no worse performance vs the expected from extra weight.
Type 90 was objectively better to drive, because its more mobile as it should be.
idk, people are going to be moving faster on average as they wont burn all speed to turn, but a lot of morons are gonna crash as they dont know the change was implemented (if it comes this update which i doubt, i expect next one to have it tuned better and on more vehicles)
in what? what tank at top tier do you think is going to be magically exempt from this feature? if any of them get it, all of them are.
I think he means the ones that dont get it yet, assuming its japanese mbts and leo only for now.

that is my point, all of them will have to get it because they all do in real life. It would not make sense for only a few tanks to get it.
And I’m talking about the update where they actually add it to the main game, if not the one coming out tomorrow.
Ah yes, because Gaijin cares so much about real life lmao.
Also want me to point you to the whole detailed modules situstion? Did all tanks get those at the same time?
Theres a lot of vehicles with reputations for poor and underperforming mobility which will notably benefit from it, Centurion and Chieftain to name two “slow” tanks which will do well from this. Also looking forward to the potential of a near perfectly modelled scimitar light tank

Have you seen these? Maybe the Leo 2s felt nice but they are even better in real life. These changes made them closer to their IRL performance

that required bespoke assets and models to be added.
regen steering is a word change in a vehicle .BLK file, Ive tested vehicles months ago with regen because its just one variable change

Just get them into a close range situation and they’ll be free kills. The speed increase for the Leo 2s, especially for the 2A7 hulls, will be negligable.
I saw when SpanAv posted them in this thread. neutralgear ratio needs tweaking on several vehicles to get neutral turn working proper already. This will get that seen to.
I dont often agree with him on anything but we are very much on the same side here.
they can run circles around a tracked tank to avoid its gun like how a fox or XM800T does to knock out tanks it really probably shouldnt have destroyed so easily. theres situations where its worse but most its better
Lmao. The Leo 2s are not that fast and they face tanks with considerably faster turret rotation speeds thsn the XM800T does. That is a sure way ticket back to the respawn menu for the Leo 2 player.
I dont think you read what i said.
tank X immobilised tank Y
tank X can now stay out of the way of tank Ys gun for longer by encircling it much easier with regen steer than skid steer.
sure, but a leo 2 is faster than the generic MBT of 8.0 also. everything is faster, doesnt change the basic idea of avoid the gun and blow them up
