Some HVSS Shermans have had broken suspension for over 6 months

For over 6 months now the suspension on some of the shermans equipped with the HVSS suspension have been broken. Lacking the proper travel and appearing and acting like it was more or less seized in place or at least way too stiff. This also resulting in the affected tanks appearing to “stutter” when in place and bouncing around unnaturally from even small obstacles or rough terrain. Also causing the sight to bounce up and down while in sight view.

The affected tanks are (as of posting this): M4A3 76(W) (USA TT version and “Hell” pack version), M-51 and M-51(W)
While the M4A3(105) and the M4A3 76(W) in the Japanese TT work as they’re meant to. Making it easy to test it. Additionally -none- of the HVSS shermans have correctly working suspension animations.

This issue has been reported over 6 months ago and not been acknowledged. And because it wasn’t fixed earlier the bug now also affects the new -premium- M4. Had been hoping that since it’s a premium there’d been an effort to fix any underlying bugs before it was released.

edit: this video while not perfect quickly gives a quick idea of several of the issues with the suspension https://youtube.com/shorts/1fS06iRpdVA

Also to add I’ve also noticed like on -none- of the HVSS shermans the bogies rotate/tilt/move like they should and the arms arn’t connected to the shock absorbers.

That’s quite the strange bug, no idea why it hasn’t been even acknowledged at this point. +1 from me, clicked “I have the same issue”.
