Why are the tanks floating around instead of staying solidly on the ground?

TL;DRThe floating tanks are a known issue already fixed but not yet in the PTU; low gravity on this map is partly intended, though currently too floaty and allowing wheelies.

That is an issue that has been fixed but isn't in the PTU yet.

Unfortunately, we rolled the lightest gravity map. So on this, you need to be a little bit more mindful of your acceleration and whatnot. But also, there is a bug right now in that you can pull a wheelie with a tank.

Yeah, currently you can do a lot of styling.

It was fixed last night, but we are on that mode where Sam is now pulling wheelies.

That's not to say that there can't be a mode where you're on an incredibly low G. But that's not what that's supposed to be.

It's a lot more floaty than it is meant to be at the moment.

Don't get us wrong, it is meant to be a little bit floaty. Like being Yela, that's 0.2 gravity, which is really low, so you do have to manage your speeds going over these hills.
