Exactly! Not that this behavior cant be overcome. Appropriate inertia, shifting delays, etc can all be programed in. Maybe clubs doing ir combat should give classes on how to drive a model tank so it acts like a real tank.

Maybe it is because I learned to drive on and for decades only drove standard, manual shift cars, but I love seeing and hearing my t-34 jerk and almost stop as it shifts up from its starting gear to second and then a smaller jerk as it shifts up again. All simulated by software, of course.

Of course it is very hard to program in the kind of situational flexibility a real human driver can provide, but good quality after market boards do pretty well.
