I think the reverse speed for tanks in CoH2 is still the same as moving forward, yet.. they have implemented the reverse button! So; this change here is mostly inspired by that.
Nevertheless, I think Endro probably have more to say regarding this, however.. from my own perspective, since I was the first one to ever test it out... Then I believe that the whole idea was to simply just allow the possibility for tanks to reverse in a more regulatory behavior at longer distances.. and not for the tank to keep dancing around anymore, which is making it much more handy of course.. and definitely much easier, at least in some way...
However, actually the players will still have to click for some several times if they ever wanted to move their vehicle backward by much.. but for sure much less clicking now
Needless to say; that currently this change is rather "beta" after all.. as it needs some optimization... Or perhaps it can be converted to an ability, who knows!

Thx! although there is nothing really to congratulate me for ^^
But ya, I know what you are talking about. Sometimes it can be quite annoying whenever it comes to be about positioning infantry behind cover.. but I don't think that it's a very big deal though... Or let's say; it's not my concern anyway

But it depends on the squad size.. I mean that it's usually easier to deal with controlling 4 soldiers than with managing 6 soldiers.. all in 1 squad.
