If you're going to post a thread, research it please.
This "bug" cannot be resolved better than it currently is. Due to internet lag, if GVs could hit each other, they'd be the dumbest game of bumper cars invented. Some GVs and planes could be up to a kilometer away from where you see them on their computer and on the server. If you "ran into" them on your side and stopped, they might see you suddenly stop 500 yards away from them. That's the easiest shot there is in the GV world.

Theres always something that can be done. The problem isn't as much that you can park inside, and shoot someone to steal the kill, but that it renders them completely useless Because your model blocks their sights completely, and even if you do turn tour turret around and shoot them, the shell doesn't gain any lethality until the end of the barrel. Now Since there is nothing to do, why not make the shell originate from the center of the turret making it easy enough to kill them.
I turned my turret directly through the Flak and put a shot "into" him. and my shell flew off into the distance.

The geometry of the tank turret has the barrel as a solid object to decrease how many polygons are rendered. If you fired from an origin inside or behind the barrel in this game (without any major model overhaul) the shot would kill your turret and never leave the barrel. This is how I've heard it described before.
However, you can also contradict that point with another one; you cannot hit the barrel of a tank with any kind of weapon.

If I'm in a tank or Ostie with the turret gone I love parking inside an enemy tank making it impossible for the guy to aim or use his gun. When he starts up and moves so do I, staying right on his tail so as soon as he stops I get back inside.
I've also done this to friendlies who, after repeated requests, refuse to turn off their engines.
It infuriates them. :lol

Same here...
I have sat inside Tigers for 10 minutes while the town is taken down. Then when he moves in for the kill I slowly follow and and make the dash for the town.

Didn't know you could kill yourself in the game without shooting a friendly? So it would be self-shooter instead of kill-shooter? :D
-
Why couldnt the same rules apply to the barrel of tank, and the drones of a bomber? I cant shoot myself down with any of my drones, or vise versa.

Fire a rocket low to the ground or out dive a bomb. You'll kill yourself.

You know what I meant. Pull up in the blast radius. :mad:

That is different than shooting a gun and killing yourself.
-
Not if you're firing an HE shell. An AP shell fired into a solid object isn't pretty either.

So how do you kill yourself in a tank besides rolling over.....?

By shooting yourself, Sketch. It's in the geometry if the point where the shell originates changes. :D But the second point in the quote is valid as well.

How can you shoot yourself in a GV though, that is all I am asking. I understand the point of where if you fire and the round begins at the back of the barrek your shooting yourself technicaly, BUt I am wonder how you do it now... :confused:
-
Ive tried this.....
Up an osti, drive to tower. Theres a nice spot where the osti just about manages to fit in.....aim up and fire. Watch the shell ricochet back to you and kill your turret....

Yep, I've had that happen to me before.

You currently can't. I'm talking about if the shell originated at the back of the barrel. Currently it originates from the tip.

Even in the heat of battle, an ostie and Tiger can have heated sexual relations with one another.
See the smoke? Thats PASSION, baby!
-
If you've got an enemy tank 'parked' inside your vehicle, could you not rotate the turret to the rear then pull away and fire before the guy got inside you again?
-
has that tank lost its tracks?
-
Hmmm - what do you get if you cross an Ostwind and a Tiger?
-
you get an osger of course and it's bite's worse than it's bark
-
Toad, I agree with you entirely, stop that antimatter GV gayness!
I was in a panzer and had an osti hide inside me, I could not see anthing
nor could I return fire. Oh and I hear there is an extra gay bug to where if you phased your uber gay inviso-osti through a tank you can "aim" into his driver and kill the driver. I have not had that happen to me yet, just heard about it.
