Wouldn't using a two joystick setup where you only use the y-axis on both not have the problem all this coding is trying to correct? You can turn at high speeds by feathering one joystick

The "tank style" JUI (Joystick User Interface) you describe above suffers from this same problem:

While this is great if you are on target, getting around obstacles at high speed becomes impossible.
