After a night's sleep a good @primalace.bsky.social's comment to kick me in the ass, I separated the physics and visuals even further than they were before, and now I'm happy with this and it's something I would consider good.

I spent almost all day doing this and I'm kinda mad at it because I don't think it's very good. I mean, it's fine, but I know I can do better than this, and ironically it actually is the Warthog geometry/suspension that's throwing me off this time because some of my usual tricks aren't working.
