Tank Drift

Product: Battlefield V
Platform:Microsoft XBOX One
Please specify your platform model. Microsoft Xbox One S
Which part of the game is the issue happening in? Multiplayer
Which part of the mode? Breakthrough
Please select your region North America
On which server did this happen? ALL SERVERS
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) For the past 6+ months.
Summarize your bug For no apparent reason, I will experience tank drift. There is no pattern or timing to when this occurs, but it seems to happen ever 3-10 seconds. When you fight it and try to go in reverse to stop the tank from moving forward, it simply drifts in reverse. I will find a suitable place to position my tank, take aim and BAM, my tank starts lurching forward making it not only extremely difficult to stay on target, but often times I will be thrust over a hill and therefore out of control. I have read from numerous other posts online that others are experiencing this as well. There is nothing wrong with my controller and making adjustments to deadzone does NOT rectify this issue. IT ONLY HAPPENS IN TANKS.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Just drive a tank...you should see it.
What happens when the bug occurs? The tank is nearly impossible to stay on target, blows your position of cover, can make you roll off of a cliff or hill into a compromising area or worse, out of bounds.
What should be happening instead? The tank is nearly impossible to stay on target, blows your position of cover, can make you roll off of a cliff or hill into a compromising area or worse, out of bounds.

  • This is caused by the latency in the game. I have the same issue when going from forward to reverse where the tank will continue to go in reverse and then a few seconds later catch up with the controller input and start moving in the correct direction. Ive been having severe tank control issues since launch!!!
