About this tutorial
Learn how to tune a Chaos Vehicle tank in Unreal Engine 5 so it feels heavy, stable, and realistic instead of behaving like a lightweight arcade vehicle.
In this tutorial, we tune the tank’s suspension, engine, transmission, and braking, then fix a turning bug that affects the tank while reversing.
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to:
- Tune the suspension for realistic weight and stability
- Configure the engine’s RPM, torque, and torque curve
