I can't comment on the realism of the speed in reverse in GVs (other than it does seem too slow); but the return of the manual transmission would be cool, at least as an option in preferences  :salute

I'm certain that the reverse gear in tanks was a very low range gear.
only a moron would use Dolby positioning in a game.

I spent many a year in tanks though, candidly, I have no freaking idea how fast they go in reverse. A good tanker almost never uses that woosified gear.  :banana:
