It's funny how there are still so many bugs I know of that I never bother to report since they have been in the game for so long you almost forget about them till you see it again.

I know we've all seen it at one time or another.

Tank is charging forward just as it should, only to stop on a dime, reverse for half a second, and then continue forward as though it had just started moving. (no retained acceleration)

I do not know how to reproduce it though I do not think excessive clicking causes it.

Special acceleration and maneuverability abilities do not seem to cause it either as I have had it occur on tanks with no special movement ability. (Soviet armor for example)

I have seen it both in open fields, wooded paths, and narrow streets. It is not limited to any one class of armor either.

It both looks and feels like the tank hits an invisible acceleration strip going the wrong way like in some arcade racing game.

+1 when you need one more shot but tanks is interested in dancing. Fix it please.

Do you have any steps or a Video? I'll have to look at this later. I'm testing out the Vet Fix right now.

Thanks

Been happening forever. Doesn't happen enough to annoy. It's like a 1 out of 3 games. And it happens once in that game

It seems to happen when passing near an allied vehicle without actually touching it. Thanks what's happened to me anyways. It's either that, or some sort of change in elevation that causes it.

I thought this was caused by running over a crushable "yellow cover" object such as a wooden log? Somebody posted a youtube video about it a long time ago, can't remember the title. I've had this happen numerous times with medium tanks and light tanks, especially with stuart and sherman. For me atleast it does not require the proximity of another allied vehicle.
