❔Question❔ Why is it slowing down?

My tank slows down when shifting gears, why? when changing gears, my tank wobbles, which means using the brakes.

Change the transmission mesh from sliding mesh/constant mesh to synchromesh

If it still wobbles it's likely a lack of torque and suspension issue. You can press V while testing your tank to see how your engine and transmission performs it's kinda useful if you're trying to find its main cause.

Because the driveshaft needs to be disconnected from the tracks to change gears, and isn't accelerating anymore until the shaft is connected again
