Vehicles Move Faster in Reverse than Forward
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Haven't found any other tickets on this topic. Most of the time, not always, a vehicle will sit on a small incline, refusing to move forward, even though there is no damage and the forward and turbo keys are depressed. I can then turn around and drive up the same incline faster in reverse. Tested primarily with the IFRIT and HUNTER.

Steps To Reproduce

I was driving quite extensively around the coasts by the Spartan shield, over rocks into, through and out of hood level water. Flipping, rolling and plunging the trucks over the landscape with reckless abandonment. There was no visible indication of damage to the truck model or the status meter dialog. Could just be that those meters are not working well enough. But then, the trucks did drive better over flat terrain once I was able to get past the incline.

Additional Information

This is irrelevant to the topic, but it would be a great feature to damage the main gun if the vehicle rolls over on top of it.

there is more torque in Reverse gear in vehicles in real life so maybe they are modeled correctly? (especially automatic gearbox vehicles)

No, I don't think so. The way it behaves is nothing like past games where the vehicle would slow, but never this bad. I am confident that it's just a config tweak. They'll get it.

Sounds kind of like this?: 0004587

No sir, different issue altogether. I am highlighting the lack of power a vehicle has while on an incline, not torque. There will always be a slow down when weight is considered but for a vehicle to come to a complete stop on a gentle slope is not practical at all, especially if you can whip it right around and conquer the incline in reverse.

Please let us know in note section if you are still able to reproduce this issue in latest Developement build.

Mass closing ancient tickets with no activity this year; assume fixed or too trivial etc.

If this issue is still relevant in current dev build, please create a new ticket referencing this one and request for it to be re-opened.
