Shakey tank

Since the patch whenever I fire any of the machine guns my tank shakes like it's having a seizure, even in neutral.

Anything that's a gunner (position other than #1) will do this.

I can see the pintle position shaking that violently because of the mount; but how is the 80 ton tiger tank being shook like that when the hull & turret MG's are fired? When you're looking through the main guns sight & fire the turret MG & see the violent vibration it seems a little silly.....but then again I've never actually fired a tank mounted MG.

I have fired over 50,000 rounds through the coax gun on a M60A1 tank.  I have fired the same amount  of rounds from a pintle mounted .30 cal and .50 cal MGs.  When you fire the coax mg on a tank you feel a slight vibration but it moves your head and blurs your vision as much as a gnat running into your forehead with a 30 MPH tailwind.  The pintle gun will not shake your vision you keep you arms stiff.  

The bow gun is mounted in 4 or more inches of armor plate.

Instead of wasteing time on programing this FAKE reality things. Why dont you work on some real world stuff like  TRAJECTORY of the main gun round.
