WTAF - split throttles,

It's normal on a warship. Two propellers pushing at different speed turn the ship quickly making her more reactive in action.

And the same for tanks, other tracked vehicles, or any split drive system. But it's not the split throttle per se which is an issue; it's the split console, one per throttle.
