Neutral Drive for GV
« on: March 23, 2009, 12:10:56 AM »
Neutral drive is the ability to yank the wheel one way in tanks and turn on the spot, instead of "1st-R-1st-2nd-N-R" no more of that 1st gear to reverse, i know that some tanks didnt have the ability, but the ones that did, well give it to them.....

They call it "common sense", then why is it so uncommon?

No tank thats currently in AH2 could do a pivot turn and very few in the war could - panther could for sure as well as the the late war british tanks with updated gearboxes like the centaur cromwell comet etc some obscure US tanks could but it wasnt till some updated patton that they could really do it afaik. The tiger would come closest with its regenerative, controlled differential system. The firefly probably took about 20metres to turn. I'm open to correction on this but im pretty sure if i'm understanding your point correctly that its a no go with our current gv line up.

The T34 could brake one tread while powering the other.  That would make it turn pretty sharply.  It could not, however, do forward on one tread and reverse on the other.
