Tank Physics needs some tweaking

Description

I recently checked out the release version of Arma 3 and played the new tank showcase. Apparently I encountered an issue which stopped me from completing the show case about 6-7 times.

This "feature" happend to me 6-7 times in under 10 minutes and all i order my AI driver was to stay in formation. I know there might already be an issue going around about the needed tweaking of the physics engine and so on.

Still i don't think it's a very good idea to release a showcase which tries to feature the new driving physics when it's clearly not ready.

Additional Information

The main problem i could not finish the mission was not because the tank was rendered unusable in the process of backflipping. But every time the tank flips the commander orders everyone to disembark even when the tank lands correctly and didn't take any damage.

The engine forces me to disembark as soon as the commander gives the order and locks the vehicle, which results in being killed by enemy infantry fire.
