Have you considered using a sleipnir or however they are called in your bastion build? I would block masto shots just fine and against dog is even better
Ive notoced this a lot now whats with all of there legs being forward facing and having the 4 front ones on a different button so there not in leg mode
It’s basically a bug mate If the front legs are in wheel mode and the back in leg then the front legs provide tonnage but don’t actually touch the ground So your build has better turning as a result
