ffs, this infuriates me so much.
I'm in a TD with no turret. Handbrake is off when I'm in third person view. I switch into sniper view and the fucking handbrake goes back on. I can turn it off, quickly zip back to third person view for another look or a tiny change of position, back to sniper view, HANDBRAKE BACK ON.
Honestly this drives me mental. The amount of times I see an enemy get spotted outside my gun arc, I start rotating in third person and as the tank is rotating I switch to sniper view to get ready to line the shot up and the fucking tank stops dead because the game has turned the brake back on because I've entered sniper view.
I've even set it up so I can turn the handbrake on and off with MMB, but the damn thing still turns itself on. It should be totally user controlled.
Rant over.
