I have also noticed that tanks seem to flip over more easily since the last patch. I am not a programmer by any means so I am just thinking out loud here. I wonder if the change in modeling to GV commander position has raised the center of gravity point for the flip modeling and therefore could make tanks flip easier. Just a thought.

Well also think about the performence of our tanks, they can all run balz to the wall 24/7, when they turn there is no mud,or grass or anything to slip on,everything is perfect, so its likely that combo of "lack of realism" on the ground effects front,but too much realism added on the "tank" part.


Like a 30 ton nascar doin' 200mph and slamming the wheel to the left, something bad's gonna happen.

 In the real tank world you have not lived yet until you are out in the pouring rain in the dead of night with a shove digging 15 ton of mud out of between the tracks of your tank. Or your tank ran over a long forgotten piece of chain length fence and it is rapped itself around the drive wheel and the fender and you have only hand cutters to free it up.

 Then there is always the track flew off while you are driving down a nice road for no reason you can see. Then you and your crew are out in the hot sun with a rope and pry bars trying to feed the track back on the drive wheel and get a new locking pin pounded in the link with a little ball peen hammer and of course you smash you thumb while doing this. So the Aces high roll overs don't look that bad to me now after I look at it this way lol.
