Braking as hard as possible right up until the vehicle stops completely gives the surging liquid the least time to build momentum
Accelerating briefly right before the stop to counteract surge
Easing off the brake pedal slightly just before the vehicle fully stops, similar to controlled braking in other vehicles

Show answer

Correct answer to question 92 (Tank Vehicles): Easing off the brake pedal slightly just before the vehicle fully stops, similar to controlled braking in other vehicles

Why

Easing off brake pressure slightly just before the vehicle comes to a complete stop lets the surging liquid settle more smoothly, avoiding the harder jolt that maintaining full brake pressure to the very end would cause.
