Author Topic: Seasick Pz4 Main Gun (Read 370 times)

If you park a Pz4 anywhere. have the motor off, not moving at all, the main gun still moves by itself. About every 10 seconds, your view goes up rather quickly all by itself, as if you'd raised the gun. If you go to any of the other crew positions, this doesn't happen to your POV, and it's obvious that the whole tank itself ain't rocking. Nor do you see the gun tube move when you're not in the gunner's seat. But once you get in the gunner's seat, the gun starts moving around by itself.

Maybe your stick is having some input issues? Haven't noticed anything like this.

I haven't noticed any problems with my stick in any other situation, so I'm thinking it's only in the Pz4 main gun. Particularly if you're on sloping ground or close to (but not touching) bushes. But it also happens to me in the middle of airfields.

I haven't noticed that making a difference. But even if it does, that still doesn't solve the underlying problem, it just works around it. The tank's gun shouldn't go up and down by itself for no reason at all if the tank's not moving. It's like the random bounce you get from driving keeps on going even while the tank's sitting still. That shouldn't be happening.

This is the first case I've heard about it that wasn't "when the tank fires it leans back"

The thing I had pdwwith GV's especially the panzer is when spawning the tank is stuck in ground but yet the track sound is going like 200mph but I not moving anywhere. Happened 3 times so far at various locations and maps.
