Work-In-Progress: Regenerative Steering — Should We Add It? Try It & Leave Your Feedback!

I would like to ask Gaijin whether it is possible to provide a large amount of GE and LL to test server players, in order to allow them to quickly obtain fully equipped top-tier vehicles, making it easier to test the vehicles on the test server. This will not have any impact on the live server, correct?

lol they wont give it to u

in city maps this is a lott disavantage… have keybind to turn off???

Look at this, is this really the handling model some want to keep? It’s hilariously bad and for what, so you can make a 180 degree turn quicker? I did not use brakes in the video, it was simply pressing A and D.

First video is what we have now
Second video is the regenerative steering

Imagine how easily you would be dodging shots with regenerative steering lol

A comparison of maneuvering with/without Regenerative Steering: in both Type 10 and Leopard 2’s cases, the driver arrives at their destination MUCH quicker WITH regenerative steering.

This is why we have been sabre rattling for it’s addition for years.

It’s far worse in much chunkier vehicles like a challenger, heavily kitted out older MBT or even light tank with slightly too much braking force and jelly soft suspension.

Back when the FV107 was added it physically couldn’t keep any speed after a turn, it’s much better now but bloody hopeless at retaining speed, even though it’s the fastest production tank ever made, double diff steer will at least it almost have that rightful crown from the overperforming XM800T as it will keep speed after a turn

THESE VIDEOS right here are ALL anyone on this planet should be able to see to FULLY support the implementation of Regenerative Steering.

No because time to location isnt the only thing that matters in game

I noticed there are two threads now for some reason so I’m going to copy-paste my post here too if it’s not a problem



I also think that the problem at the moment is how the automatic transmission works and not the Regenerative Steering itself. These videos were made with Manual transmission

Once Gaijin adjusts the auto transmission logic, the gear ratios or even the turning radius for each gear it should work properly without having to use manual.

I have to say though that regenerative steering feels a lot smoother than the previous handling model even in it’s current state

I agree with this setup, we could add a key binding so players can use it more flexibly.

@Stona_WT sorry for pinging you again, but observe, THIS post right here, contains the largest consensus and solution to the still potential issues related to the mechanic!

With this polished, it will all be PERFECT.

Yes, the issue in the first video has annoyed me for years, sometimes (all the time?) tanks just bog down completely because of this brake assisted turn system or whatever it is lol

if only a bug reporting website existed, would be cool if they made one

the broken clock strikes right.

We need the ability to kick up and down gears while in auto again

doesnt even need to be a keybind, could just be selected like your aircraft control mode

Will admit, its a different driving style.

Tanks dont turn like its mariokart anymore, you need to use brakes and throttle control.

I prefer it significantly and look forward to seeing it expand to more vehicles, I have figures for a couple vehicles to help gaijin tune it in once bug reports are allowed to go ahead too.

Transmission TN15 from J60 engine CVRT as an example

For planes there is bind to switch between controle modes:

And as with planes, the bind is not to use it once and forget, current steering system and new proposed ones each has strengths and “advanced” players would love to switch between both “on the fly”.
I myself use that switch in the planes sometimes to get more AoA for example.

its currently physicaly impossible to even do as little as this movement in WT, thats how primiative the system currently is. regen steering will be a renaissance for a lot of vehicles

that would be quite annoying overtime especially if regen is default for people who wanna keep current system
