Valentine tank brake drum rotation speed incorrect (should rotate significantly faster than tracks)

The brake drum animation on the Valentine series tanks appears to be incorrect. In-game, the brake drum rotates at approximately the same speed as the tracks. However, in real life, the brake drum rotates significantly faster—approximately 6–8 times the speed of the tracks—due to its position within the drivetrain.

Vehicle(s) affected:
Valentine tank (all variants)
Archer

We sometimes let random people in the turret when driving at shows if there’s space.

Yeah thats about what I figured. Takes less force to brake then doesnt it? Or did I just pull that out of my ass

Thats really cool. The Valentine is a gorgeous tank

Yeah, less force needed, less heat generated and gives the driver more control with turning.
