    Ive a joint based tank setup that ends ul in a wheel formed by an sphere. In unity 4.7 there was option of per axys friction values for the material. Im having too low sideways friction on certain vehicles and Im missing this feature. Is there a way to overcome this feature removal?

    Unfortunately no :( That feature was removed in PhysX 3 (Unity 5+).

    A workaround is applying counter-forces when the object slides in a direction it shouldn't.

    Blame nVidia in this case. They removed the anisotropic friction in PhysX 3, so there was nothing Unity could do.
