Strider does not behave realistic in water - it slides sideways
New, WishlistPublic

Description

The Strider behaves very strangely in water. When steering in one direction it effectively drifts to the opposite side, i.e. steer left and the Strider strafes almost 90 degrees right. The point around which the vehicle turns is actually in far front of the vehicle. It doesn't look like a vehicle actually being in water.

Expected:
Let's assume the Strider has propeller pods in the rear (since the RL counterpart is not amphibious), then it should almost turn on the spot when in the water. The turn radius should be reduced, the behavior would seem more like over steer.

If you turn to quick, it will drift more.
What we need to do first is fix the fact that the propellers are 2d drawn on and do not move at all.

Since it is technically a boat it should slightly drift, but it moves sideways even at low speeds. I have difficulty describing it, it looks like you are making doughnuts in the water. To reproduce, do the steps above but just steer in one direction (left or right) with normal forward speed. Then go to 3rd person and tell me it doesn't look wrong.
