Tanks sliding much further when their engine is broken

I don’t know if this is an intention change but when you shoot a tank, at least in ground arcade, in the engine you can reduce the speed you lose over time dramatically if you hold the w key for moving and if you want to slow down faster you can hold the S key and it does it. Is this an intentional change or a Warthunder bug, IDK

Probably it’s gaijin trying to simulate “momentum”.
Or it’s just a bug.Who knows.

Tanks now roll when their engine is knocked out. Holding the S key is hitting the brakes, which work regardless of whether or not the engine is working. Holding W only puts your tank into drive. (this is also why you can now roll down hills when your engine is knocked out)

It is most certainly not a bug.
