It seems to be a bit non-responsive to what you want to do in the game. To wit: Anyone know why tanks in your formation will *not* follow you down the assigned route? I have tried many things, the best (that I can think of) being a formation of Leading Column, then I resume the planned route until the driver is aligned with the angle for travelling. I wait about 2 seconds then stop, giving the other tanks time to form up behind me (I assumed the biggest problem might have been that I took off too soon). I would then do this about two more times. Full ahead - wait - stop. On average only 2 out of 4 tanks would follow.
