We need to revisit braking force for non-trains.

Now that we have nuclear fuel and insanely fast vehicles, we really need a way to slow them down faster.

I'm not just saying this on a whim either, i build race cars and hot rods for a living. Faster cars NEED faster brakes, and its something i DEMAND all my customers take note of and make allowances for in their budget.

Right now the car with nuclear fuel takes about 2/3 of the screen to stop, this just isn't good enough. It means constantly having to get out and repair things you've plowed into trying to stop for your destination.

I cant say if we need braking force research to be tied to car/tank, or an automatic upgrade, or its own branch, but we need something.

The tank. It has beaking distance comparable to river barge only...

Brakes don't do everything : the tires need some love too. Competition brakes and rock hard tires will not help stoppin a wheeled rocket ^^
