"V", then "Shift" + "W", Run & Crawl, Forced to Stand Again When Exhausted

[brotheral]

This Key Formula used to work, but is seemingly now glitched:

Press "V" (lay flat), then holding "W" & "Shift" to Run/Sprint...

Formerly, If you were running/sprinting, by holding/using that Key Formula, you could keep running until you became exhausted, then you simply would walk, or let go of the keys which would cause you to lay flat again. What I've found is that when running, once you become exhausted, you automatically drop to the ground and cannot stand & walk if you hold "Shift" and "W" again, you now must de-select "V" or allow the Infantry to rest. I have found not only myself at a disadvantage during an assault, but I have seemingly observed Allied Infantry experience this as they approached my defensive position. They are running then suddenly drop and crawl, then stand up quasi-paralyzed for a moment, as they realize what just happened.

DOC says this is intended. Sorry but I my self can get up and jog/sprint without having to stand at attention first to do it no matter how tired and especially if someone is trying to harm me. I think it was more realistic the way it was before but DOC says this is more realistic.

This is a function of several fixes that have gone in in the state engine to fix other various key combos. There's nothing intended about this at all.

Bug, but one I may not be able to fix easily. Still as "prone to sprint" is a most favored combo we'll take a look.

Then maybe you and DOC should have a chat because he told me last night ingame that this was intended and is more realistic and was "requested" by the "majority" of players.

actually that wasn't exactly what I said, I was discussing how it should work but with 17 people requesting PM replies at the same time I kind of get my chat messed up when also chatting on open channel at the same time

so I frequently am taken out of context, not always because the user got it wrong but often, that too

nothing like a scathing "doc quote" to get the "crs can't do anything right" train rolling in chat, if you know what I mean

try and maintain a sense of humour like I have to
