Tank Momentum and Stuck in Reverse

Question

Product: Battlefield 2042Platform:PCPlease specify your platform model. PCAMD or Nvidia Model Number 3070Enter RAM memory size in GB 32 Are you using any software with an overlay? NoWhich part of the game is the issue happening in? MultiplayerWhich part of the mode? ConquestPlease select your region North AmericaOn which server did this happen?When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm)Summarize your bug There seems to be a couple of issues after one of the recent patches. 1. Vehicles, especially Tanks seem to have a lot of momentum. I'm not sure if this is intended, and I didn't notice anything in the patch notes about it. I could have missed that though. It feels like a bit much though and to the point that it wasn't intended. 2. The bigger issue is getting stuck in reverse. While going back and forth, doing a tank strafe I guess you could call it, sometimes you'll get stuck in reverse while holding the 'w' key. I'll let go and repress it, but it'll be stuck in reverse only. How often does the bug occur? Rarely (0% - 9%)Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Drive back and forth in a tank.What happens when the bug occurs? Tank gets stuck in reverse regardless of what key you're pressing. It'll only move in one direction. What should be happening instead? Not get stuck. ‌I feel like there's too much momentum now with tanks that was introduced in a recent patch and it causing some weird behaviors. There's also times when reversing that turning left and right will not be responding correctly. The tank or Bolte will turn in the opposite direction of your input.

@RaginSam I experience this as well but there's so many bugs I can't be bothered to fill out this stupid 20 line questionnaire every time that forums require for a bug report.

So yeah when I go in reverse then press W, the tank should stop and accelerate forwards, but the tank actually accelerates to REVERSE instead of stopping. Then I just mash some keys together and it stops eventually but about 20 meters from where it should've stopped.

This is extremely annoying especially when on incline since you go even farther down and it's so painfully slow to go back up since tanks in year 2042 are somehow slower and less agile than tanks in World War I.
I can also confirm this was introduced recently, maybe with 3.0 or 3.1 patch.

While I'm already here doing DICE's work, I can also report that tank gun gets often stuck in one position and it cannot move despite moving the mouse around, I have to switch camera to 1st person then move the gun to get it unstuck in 3rd person.
But this is not a recent bug, this has been going on for months, maybe even since launch.

@mimi0xi I’m glad other people are noticing this. Thanks for replying.

There’s a few really irritating bugs. This one actually got me stuck in out of bounds because I kept going further backwards while trying to hit different keys.

I started a thread in the general section asking for a little more feedback with what’s going on with these bugs. Some of the people commenting said there was some sort of master list in BFV or a program? It would be nice to get some confirmation that someone is reading these bug reports. A check mark would be enough.
