From talking to a few Sherman owners and trying one myself, it seems they display textbook symptoms of an uncalibrated IMU. While this could be partially fixed with firmware upgrades, it is unlikely that it'll ever be fully fixed without a board replacement. 

However I was theory crafting, and I think it probably be possible to do an aftermarket calibration. Most IMU chips have offset registers, and it may be as simple as taping into the I2C and writing some simple arduino sketches to get it calibrated (I don't know what imu it is, or if its using i2c or spi, this is just theory crafting).

I don't own a sherman, so I don't have a reason to actually do all this work. But I thought it sounded like a fun an interesting project, so I'm just putting it out there that I'd be willing to help with info and stuff if anyone wanted to take it on.
