I was the driver. Holding W on the main highway, the tank was veering left quite noticably.

Just take it to your local mechanic and have it realigned.

Well the thing is we had brought it to the mechanics just a week ago thanks to a 24 hour notice about our exhaust manifold being rusted through. He changed it and also swapped a few barrings while he was at it...I'm sure he misaligned the steering intentionally trying to get us to go back. The dudes a scammer man, I'm just gonna bring it back to the dealers and have them deal with it even though it will cost an arm and a leg.

The same thing happens with the Challenger if I remember correctly

Might as well just salvage some of it, we can buy a T-80UD for half the price!

the T72 hull is to low and is hard too get a grip on hing climbs and get stuck to easy.
maybe add a "not solid" low hull to avoid touch the ground?

It just requires a HIGH load of skill of understanding EXACTLY the traction of this tank, then a driver can also pass un-flat terrain fine (like me).

please, I nearly vomitted.
Did you try it on a different surface? Since the highway is afaik a static it may not be perfectly flat.

Shouldn't the DEVs know the answer whether a static like highway isn't flat? What surface should I check it on, you think?

Sometimes it sometimes is not. The interchange on Burning Sands is a static, bridges are statics, but most roads are roads, basically "painted" terrain that has been smoothed by the mapper.

Even a slight misalignement can cause this behavior. Maybe it's not even noticable. Try the runway on kashan desert.

Afaik a big part of the Highway on Op. Marlin is a static. At least the highway bridge and crossings is.

Thanks for letting us know. Sounds like a spring/wheel issue to me.
We'll look into it.
