T34 spawn backwards?
« on: February 07, 2007, 01:10:59 AM »
I was spawn camping a vh in a tiger had a number of kills then 1 individual who I won't name here kept spawning inside vh facing to the rear of vh in a t34. He tracked me & I was then killed there after is this possible to spawn in vh facing to the rear?

T34 spawn backwards?

This is not a bug.  Haven't tried it myself, but am told if you spawn a T-34 and start turning the turret soon as you spawn, the turret will be pointing backwards before your tank becomes visible to the other player.  The T-34 turret is a fast turner compared to the other tanks in the game.   Because of the time difference due to frame rates or slight lag inherent in the game, by the time another player sees the T-34, its turret is already pointing at the camping tank.  That's why the T-34 is a good and effective camp breaker, provided no one else spawns at the same time and blocks the T-34's view.

Thanks for the responce but I didn't make myself clear in my first listing. It is the entire tank facing to the rear of vh not just the turret I was trying to shoot the t34 in the front of the tank, except on one occasion he was facing forward with the rear exposed to me & this is the only time I got a kill on the t34.
