NoobDevs put you back to the News Tab every time you change servers instead of maintaining the Tab you were on (typically Chat). Annoying... but that seems par for the course these days. -1

Or use space bar to toggle of and on a follow-the-round view off while it is aloft so we see where it goes.

But an artillery projectile comes out so fast that the horizontal momentum would instantly be cancelled out by air resistance and other forces. Also, don't forget that a tank that's moving forward tilts back slightly, so even if you are moving at a constant speed, the 90 degree angle will still be a bit over 90 degrees and the shot will land behind you. Either way, I don't think this is a significant issue, and fixing it would require a lot of unnecessary effort. The initial blast recoil would push very hard down on the hull's suspension. The rate of springs collapsing from front to back could affect the angle but that would be the same static or moving, and would vary by where the turret is placed on the hull. The air resistance would slow the projectile once launched from moving forward as the same rate as the tank, but it would still be forward. "Tanks tilt back slightly when firing" because they are firing forward at less than 90% causing recoil forces in that direction. But hey this is Tanki, we drive tanks around backwards and across rooftops... who needs logic? ;)

2 bizarre issues 1 - sometimes it hits the target yet does no damage at all - this happened a handful of time while testing with a few others all using magnums 2 - shooting 90° vertical while driving forward makes the shot fall maybe 4 tank lengths before where the shot was actually fired instead of that distance ahead of the firing spot (the vehicle speed at the time should mean the round drops ahead of the point of release)
