Why do Tanks sometimes randomly brake when turning?

Sometimes when turning a tank just randomly brakes instead of just turning like it always does.
Why is this?
It just killed me after it did it twice…

Edit: Why is this now in “The Academy”? Its not a skill issue it’s a bug in the game or something

Which tank?
Seen it on more than one?

Probably crew driver “driving skill”.

a video of it happening will be great for us to help

This time it happened on an Aced XM-1 with a lvl 132 crew

Ok prob not a skill issue.
Next likely would be lag. How is your internet connection?

Ping is in the video so. No problem there.

What control set up are you using? I had an old gaming keyboard that the WASD keys were worn out and would sometimes input just by resting my fingers on them.

Just a really cheap keyboard, but it’s not like this happens all the time. It just happend twice here basically back to back for some reason. I wonder if it has something to do with using CC because that’s how i always drive. I almost never just use W or S to drive.

I couldn’t replicate it in a test drive.
Could just be that the server decided that you ran into something or up an incline and calculated that it would slow you down, even if they aren’t visible on the client.

NEVER happened to me…i managed to brake some parts (or even die) hitting a wall at high speeds (with a light tank)…but even this is not common recently…

Rotated and turned a lot and never broke anything…curious on HOW you (anyone) managed to do it…

nothing breaks. Have you watched the video? In the first video the tank turns normally 1 turn and then the 2nd turn just brakes without me doing anything different to the first turn

How can we tell what is happening in the videos? We can’t see your control inputs.

Next time it happens maker a proper bug report and send the various game files to Gaijin - they can probably look a all the inputs.

This map has curbs that can break tracks and, if hit straight on, can knock out your driver! Slow down and roll across curbs at a 45 degree angle.

You can literally see i’m in CC max pressing D to turn right. First little turn everything is normal, second turn the tank slows down for no reason

I am just saying it haven’t happened TO ME…so i ASSUME it is something new…and from the video i assume it is a bug…does not look as something that should break, at least in this game. (I never doubted the video)

If this happens regularly i am guessing it will be fixed…
It COULD be a new damage model or mechanic, but i doubt it…in the past damage from hitting walls was considerably reduced, so i assume this is not a “feature”…

You should file a bug report…if it is a bug then reporting will make it be solved faster…
