Clipping 25mm At Axis FB.

[expatpom]

No Name Mentioned....you know who you are. Occurred at Caudry - Cambrai Axis FB. . . At first we all thought this was down to lag, was only after several occurrences and screen shots were taken that it was discovered not to be the case. Player C******z proceeded to spawn 25mm AA from vehicle tent and then wheel over to the infantry tents. C******z then positioned the 25mm AA next to the sandbags of the infantry tent and rammed backwards and forwards into the sandbags until the AA popped over to the other side in the safety of the infantry tents. If screenshots are needed for this one then we have them, hopefully two things happen sharpish, one being that C******z stops this immediately and two CRS fixes this exploit.

Any update on this obvious exploit at FB's ?

[HuskerGI]

AGREED

Clipping is clipping.

If someone is doing it they are doing it for an advantage.

I've seen it used at fb's where there is some lower cover right around the tent area that makes it hard to visually scan to find incoming EI.

Since the area is FLAT any height advantage give the user a unfair step up on others around. Especially since they are using a large caliber fast repeating gun.

SO, this clip, this illegal use, must stop. It happens on both sides and I .report anyone on the allied side if I see them do it.

Its been argued that you are easier to kill. Really, you are no more easier to kill there or on the ground....but you do get the advantage of sight and as we all know in this game (or real life) if you can see further and sooner you WIN.

FIX IT CRS! MAKE A RULE!

Or clipping is okay. Like FB box areas, stairwells, and the like.....

So here is the picture demonstrating 25mm AA inside the FB.

Please fix this 'cheat'

[HuskerGI]

OOOOOH thats even NEATER!!!!

I wonder if that works as a no fire zone for him???

[Hinfoos]

he is still killable right?

and he doesnt camp either..

[HuskerGI]

clipping is clipping

[expatpom]

Hinfoo's

At the point he is at in that screengrab yes he is kill-able, but the area is slightly reduced (boxes etc) covering legs part of mid-riff as you can see.

Now if the bugger retreats more then he is only kill-able from certain angles, of which (if the cheater has any sense) he has covered.

I wont give any more clues on the name of the player, suffice to say an acknowledgement from CRS that they are aware of this and a fix is in the works before it becomes common place.

Huskergi,

Its not a no fire zone for him...the chap was happily firing away like nothing had happened.

[Hinfoos]

dont expect anything to happend, just saying.

[HuskerGI]

Something better happen.

Just saying.

We all want a fair game right? What's up with this FB clipping stuff?

Make a rule and then stick to it. Kick players that do it. End.

[expatpom]

So no reply as yet do we need to start a cheating player hangman guessing game?

[lolwut]

you noobs

axis only have 20mm aaa. not 25mm like you. the 25mm is alot more powerful and deadly. i better dont mention that axis version only has like 1 zoom mode which is crap

That's the way fella...turn an exploit into a you have this we have that argument which is not connected.

Ive never played axis so would not know what AA gun you get and frankly I don't give a toss if it was a 10,20 or even a couple of lmg's strapped to a pole the point of this thread is to get an exploit closed.

An exploit that can be executed by both sides for your information.

[expatpom]

Anyone from CRS going to acknowledge this issue??

Crickets since the 25th Feb.

[Tigger6]

expatpom, this is a more complex issues with colliders and unlikely to be solved that quickly. It's probably not even clear how it could be solved.

[expatpom]

Hey Tigger,

I don't mind if its a problem that none of us have discovered yet or its part of an overall snafu, all I am asking for is a recognition that they are aware of it and will be looked at, something that is lacking lately.

Its something that has never happened before 1.34 and has only just now become apparent so the worrying thing is that this will join a list of fubars from 1.34 that if not picked up will probably never be fixed and join the feature list.

If its now 'ok' to have AA in the infantry tents then that's fine, just either way let everyone know.

Cheers

Nice...

Make the testing and bug reporting forum only visible for 3 pages so old threads that still have not been acknowledged magically disappear.

Update please.

Lol!

Quite a few then eh?.

One month birthday of this bug today without a reply from CRS.

[cobray]

Bump a recruitment thread and you will get a response from CRS.

[narg]

I can't speak for CRS but they have written lengthy explanations on what is and isn't an exploit.

This popped up after people were clipping 40mm bofors to the top of FB vehicle spawns.

In the 20mm can still be killed within the infantry tent, then it's not really an exploit.

TBH, there's no real advantage to having a 20mm AA gun inside the inf tents. It makes it impossible to relocate your gun and easier to kill.

But unless the gun has become unkillable by locating in it, or CRS has changed its policy on clipping and what is and is not an unfair advantage, I don't think you'll see any action on this front.

But hey, you might get a response from a Rat correcting my interpretation of what they have said in the past.

*cough*

[fxmmauser]

I don't think this is cheating and if it is it's really minor.

I have seen atgs clipping inside unenterable buildings and shooting down Armor, this made them impossible to see and kill(this is what I called a serious exploit/bug/cheat)

1 - What you mention here seems only to increase slighty survivability to an AA agaisnt bombs especially sharpnel.

2 - Seeing small AA near tents is more realistic than seeing a bofors on top of a tent...

3 - The axis 20mm can't detrack tanks and can only kill light armor like pans and a13..

4 - There are way more important bug topics that deserve more player tracking...
