Summarize your bug A tank can only hull traverse 360 degrees if using default console left thumbstick binding "move right/ move left" in around 15 seconds, however when using the "turn right/ turn left" controller binding it can do it in around 9 seconds. I noticed this when watching PC tank gameplay, because they can turn so much faster, especially at low speed. Furthermore to this bug, if you try to custom map left thumbstick to accelerate/ brake reverse/ turn right/ turn left, it will not work. In fact you can only do accelerate left and right, OR, brake/ reverse/ turn right/ turn left. But if you map both accelerate and brake neither will work.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Follow steps in summary above. There is a problem also compounding this in the custom controls whereby trying to reset accelerate and brake on left thumbstick, while also setting turn left and right, will stop them from working at all.
What happens when the bug occurs? As summarized above. I will however add that one other huge issue (perhaps related) is that when reversing, the default "move left/ right" controls will override your reverse, meaning you start reversing in the wrong direction at low speeds. This isn't an issue with "turn left/ right" though, you reverse in the correct direction.
What should be happening instead? We should be able to map turn left and right as well as move left and right. We should have the same faster turn rate on console, and not reverse the wrong way backwards.
Thank you!
