Made solo game with the tank 1000% more enjoyable

3.0.1 is a bit disappointing for me. The tanks can now get pushed around by dead bugs and start bouncing, sometimes even getting launched into the air and flipping over. I do appreciate that the tanks have better ground clearance and are much less likely to get stuck on small rocks, but at the same time they seem to bounce around on the ground a lot more.

I’d also like to ask again for a separate adjustment for the gunner camera/view height. Even with the camera set to Farthest, bugs that get close to the edge of the tank can still be blocked by the hull, making them impossible to aim at. Also, when aiming around the center of the tank, the Bastion’s machine gun can sometimes end up pointing in a surprisingly wrong direction — for example, the turret is facing forward while the machine gun ends up firing backwards.

I really enjoy the mod overall, so I hope these could be looked at in a future update!

The bouncing is a known problem with 3.0.1's suspension, and it's what 3.0.2 is mainly fixing. I went back to springs much closer to the game's own, so the tanks keep the extra ground clearance without the bounce. Getting knocked around by bug corpses and launched over rocks should be gone, and the tipping is fixed too. Until 3.0.2 is out, turning off Tank Suspension gives you the game's normal ride.

On the Bastion machine gun firing backwards: I haven't seen that one myself. Which camera setting were you using, and were you aiming at something close to the tank or at the tank itself when it happened? That will help me reproduce it.

Bug on controller, the left trigger and right is swapped. For tank and mecha.

Thanks for the report! Armored Overhaul doesn't change any controller bindings, and it doesn't touch the mechs at all. Since it happens in the mech too, it's most likely coming from somewhere else: another mod, or the game's own vehicle controls. Could you try two things?

Turn Armored Overhaul off in your mod manager and check the tank and the mech again.
If you run Mod Bindings Menu or any other controls or input mod, try it with that off too.

It's also worth checking the vehicle controller layout in the game's Controls settings. Let me know what you find, and which other mods you have installed, and I'll dig into it.

Excellent Mod which brings much needed tweaking to the Tanks in the game since Arrowhead is either too stupid or incompetent to do it.

Hi there! I'm a huge fan of your tank camera mod for Helldivers 2. It completely changes the vibe of driving the tank, and your work is amazing!

I was wondering if it would be technically feasible to create a mod that turns the entire Helldivers 2 gameplay into a First-Person Perspective (FPS)? Since you managed to change the tank camera, I thought you might have some insights into this.

I completely understand it's probably a massive undertaking. The game is designed around third-person, so there might be missing first-person animations, weapon models, or serious clipping issues. But I'm just curious if the game engine allows for such a fundamental camera shift.

Thanks for your incredible work for the community!
