Also when you spawn you are invisible for a short time enough time to start engine up and wait for the whole proccess but if a tank shoots from the moment he spawns he will be invisibile for a few seconds, my experience was truly not behind cover i saw his tank than 4-5 seconds later flicker invisible than flicker there like back n forth alot until 15 seconds later completely see through extremly nerve racking was annoying too, also if you spawn and are warping in panzer it is able to shoot off rounds 3x as fast as normal until your connection settle's down so maybe invisible people might be warpers

I often see a tank in regular view, but when I zoom in he's completely behind a hill, turn zoom off, he's visible again.  Maybe because my sliders are all the way to the right to help my low end pc?

Sometimes if a tank is behind a hill, he is close enough to the hill to get his gun veiw over it, he appears as part of the hill,Shoot the hill.
 Warping or something like warping may be causeing what you see, if an object is fading in and out until it is no longer seen, film it, this is a bug.
 Warping, I may be wrong here, or maybe I wanna think people are better then to cheat, but, I have seen enough people trying to stop warping in the TA to realize that warpers are prolly not doing it intentionally, they have a tech problem.
 And if they are doing it intentionally, I really don't know how they could keep guns on the target, if they did it they would do it in defence trying to avoid getting hit,I would think.

Warping by mistake is no fun... like when i log in and immeditatly take off I am 80% sure i will warp.... i do this on TT map so i can get halway down theisland to TT before my pc automatically settle's down. But if you move the controls in a serious type of warp the slightest touch will send your plane haywire

Just as  Gulp stated.  When I find rounds ranging me and no tank in sight, I have found that regular view, not zoomed (but still in ground view mode) I will see the vehicle.  I have learned from vox chat that these peek a boo vehicles are behind hills.:huh  

Smoke rounds are also very effective in the new patch it seems.  

From a ground perspective, I have noticed more difficulty in seeing terain changes like hills.   Good thing this isn't golf.:lol
