Default Re: spotting when turning around your units

Update

Neutral steering wasn't as common in WWII AFVs as I expected. For the Germans, Tigers and maybe Panthers and that was about it. It could be fairly common with British build AFVs and maybe not even used by US AFVs during WWII.

This means for those unfortunates without a transmission that allows one track to go forward and the other to go backwards at the same time, to do a 180 degree change in direction they have to physically move.

Given this information, any change in the code might want to classify any change in hull facing as a move, unless the vehicle was capable of neutral steering. It would require another column in the database, however
