VH camping bug

[Kenne]

For the very FEW times I EVER get close enuff to camp the VH while we take the base, and it pops up again. I relish in the time honoured tradition of gettn a few EZ kills (as has happened sooooooooo often to me)

HOWEVER...I only get 3 kills before the 'predator' tank kills me.
The first 3 pop up, I see them either start up or their turrets turn and then BAM!, I get em.
But then the 4th..all i see is the shell zooming towards me and BOOM..m ded.

By the fourth time they know where you are sitting and start that turret turning before you can even see them.

how can that happen?

its not a question of knowing WHERE i am, how can they get the turret around be becoming visable?

There's a couple seconds delay before an enemy tank fades in on your screen to combat camping.

As you can see, it works.

then why isnt THAT the case for the first 3 tanks?

Apparently they haven't spotted you yet, and in the case of the M8 and T-34, the turrents can move very quickly. That is something else to take into account.

so in other words, there is a 'spawn lag'...yes a bout 4secs?

yes, maybe not 4 seconds, but there is a lag in what you see. Like Motherland posted it is designed that way to help break spawn camps.

If you camp it right they can't get a shot on you because of your angle in relation to what is visible to their barrel how ever you always have the shot on them.

this is how they do it.  they will move to another base on the other side of the map.  will select a t34  then will in fast sequence move back to the base, spawn in vh, start turning the turret by the time they got u in their sights u still havent see them due to delay then boom u are killed by an invisible tank.  the delay sometimes i pretty long, i have killed 2 tanks before another one spotted me, then i'll go back and kill him.  it is not a cheat, just a way to take advantage of delay before your system updates what it sees.  btw the slower your system/isp connection, the more time the enemy has to turn its turret.

want to try it, u ever sometimes up and see no airplanes and all of a sudden there's a billion of them all around you? same thing.
