Maneuvering On The Ground With Differential Braking

[Skyspin]

No taxing improvement after today's update. The Spitfire, the Mustang, the P-47, and even the Mosquito all taxi fine but cannot keep the Corsair under control, especially on an airfield with a crosswind component. On the carrier deck with 30 knots of relative wind there's no problem making small adjustments for a straight launch but on a land airfield it's almost impossible to maneuver like the above mentioned aircraft.

@Skyspin,

Confirmed. I just tested the diff braking effect. It's still broken. There was no mention of it in the change log. I wanted to see if the problem was secretly solved. That is a resounding "NO."

Can we get a few more Corsair flyers to chime in, please? We need to squeak more loudly to get some grease.

It seemed to be different to me.  If you go full rudder you can sometimes do quick pivot turns. 

 

However... I agree it does not behave like any of the other warbirds.  Locking up one side without rudder input still locks the whole thing up to a stop and it requires quite a bit of thrust (to the point of almost prop striking or tail bouncing) to get it to start turning.

After the update yesterday I wanted to sit in the Corsair after a quite some time again and it was impossible for me to taxi to the runway in that Mission where you have to transfer two corairs from Nellis. In no way this behavior can be acurate. First I thougt, I would be doing something terribly wrong but after checking this thread I´m glad to hear that I´m not the problem. 

But when I think twice it would be easier to avoid a mistake than dealing with a broken module. Quite dissapointing. Is it confirmed by M3 that it is a bug and they are working on it?

I think the aircraft is damaged (including the tail wheel) when you spawn in.  Please ask the ground crew to repair and you'll see the '170 secs' pop up.  Once that's done, ask them to repair again and you'll find the aircraft is stuck in a continual damaged state, therefore you cannot taxi properly:

There has been no response from the Devs on my thread, so not sure they're aware.

-Rudel- has recently mentioned the Corsair has a unique damage model that is still in testing, so until this is completed I guess the Corsair remains broken: 

I think this is the number one issue with the Corsair right now.

Seems kind of a critical bug. Would be nice to get a reaction from the devs to show they are aware of it.
