I know that several times I have stopped to take a shot in a tank.  If you don't stop 100%, you may start rolling again if you didn't put it in N or kill the engine.

It's a tough break that's for sure, just be more careful..  Consider it a lesson learned and move on..


Yea I never end the sorties by the command line.. I just do it via the clipboard..

Isn't it the case that if there is an enemy gv within 10k or so you get a ditch even on concrete at your own base?

I've never heard of that before and I've landed a tiger at a town on a gun pad while the base was under heavy attack before. Possible if you heard of someone having that happen, maybe they suffered the same fate as me with the tank slightly moving.

Nope. If you are sitting on concrete on own base, you are fine all the time.

If you are not on concrete, and no enemy is around, you get a "landed". If an enemy is around, you may get either a ditch or captured or even "xxx shot you down" depending on your location, actual enemy distance proxy kill) and if you were hit before.

(I just "landed" my T34 two times on an enemy Vfield today, because no enemies were around)

who cares if the plane survives, the pilot would still get his kills.

Ehem, and it would fix these minor..errors.


If you "bail" from a perk plane on the runway you lose the perks also.

You don't have to be in Nuetral as long as you are at a dead stop  and on concrete you won't get a ditch.  And you can end sortie in a vehicle while moving which sucks, it should be the same as a aircraft because I have accidentally hit end sortie when trying to select something else and poof I get a ditch.

Yes you can land with tranny in gear, and not moving, but I just take the extra time to put it in neutral so I KNOW I am stopped.  After all we all take time to shoot and all that and drive to base which may take 30 minutes to do all that or more.  It just makes no sense to not take an extra second or less to slip in neutral or make dang sure you are stopped to land kills.  

I learned to STOP last year when I was first learning how to GV and got ditches.  Its a lesson well learned as you dont forget to stop now lol.

Well I always make sure I'm at a full stop and most of the time I kill my engine.. I think I did so on this occasion as well, but for what ever reason the tank rocked back wards.

The problem is I was un aware that you could even end the sortie in a tank if it was moving at all. You can't do it in a plane, I mean if a plane is rolling even 1mph you can't end sortie it won't let you (at least via the clip board).

So I just ask why is it not the same for a tank? It just sucks to lose that many perk points to something so stupid. Unless you go to TT and spawn kill, perk points in GV's are hard to come by, it's not like a plane where you can find fights fairly easy.
