actually this is not 0.17 bug, it was in previous versions (i think in all)

in my mod tanks bigger than vanilla, but this bug appears both

when you press Space or C to shoot and your cursor between fire point and tank axis (center) projectile flying in opposite direction
i found in FMRx mod

1 - point where projectile appears in moment of pressing fire key
2 - point where your cursor at this moment
3 - projectile direction
4 - tank axis, center

I think I've seen this bug before in the forum, but I'm not positive. Something about shooting backwards, I think it ended up being filed under Won't Fix.

EDIT: Nope, this appears to be "unique" but similar to a number of other bugs which have all been resolved (e.g. shooting a shotgun backwards).

Could you please provide a mod where this could be tested?

After some digging around, I would prefer to not make changes to the shooter logic, you can hotfix your problem by setting min_range on the corresponding ammo.
