    gearbox did not allow for shifting into reverse while the vehicle was moving

    Ummm this is probably like, a good thing? You don’t want to crank 20 tonnes suddenly in reverse when it’s moving full forward.

    The other things are pretty bad, true. Especially the uncommanded turrent movements, that can really chop off a limb in the wrong situation. The gun firing is probably not quite as bad because I assume most of the time it wouldn’t actually be loaded.

      It’s certainly better than letting you break the gear, but still, you’d expect reverse to be able to assist with braking.
