While scrimming yesterday we found out that the tank had a bug. The guy on it was invisible! I'm not sure if this is an etpro problem or if it was just him but i wanted to let you know.

yeah, i've noticed this also, the hitboxes for the player is incredibly small, it seems like its only head shots that register, i watched a guy empty and entire clip in a guy in the tank from behind and not a single shot registered, only when you shoot above the head does it register correctly, err well register anyways

Not to go a little off topic but I know I gave bani a link to the other tank bug were you can't repair it. Not sure if that helped..

Yes, the feeling isn't the same in 3.1.0 as before, don't know how to describe it, but i think that there could be some bug with hitboxes when you are on the tenk mounted mg.

It's not just a 3.1.0 thing - I remember getting that in 3.0.1. Not sure about earlier, though tbh I don't remember it happening in etmain.

Sorry i have no demo but i remember it, I tryed to get on tank and one of my clan members said he was invisible on the tank. And when he got off you can see him.

Maybe ask the team you were scrimming if they have demo's of it?

I've found recently since 3.1.0 that sniping at someone in a tank is a lot harder (that is, the shots don't register)

However, aiming as low down on their body as possible seems to do the trick (Gut-shot instead of head-shot!)

Pain in the butt really :/

In the gutt you mean ^^

But it's true, something about players on the tank is borked. At certain instances you have trouble hitting them even though they're sitting ducks.

Yesterday I saw the tank riding over a destroyed bridge in fd. Thought that was fixed ages ago?

Any chance to add a Cvar to make the tank get damged with Friendly fire until the bug is found?

Can anybody comfirm about hitboxes, when you are on tenk? Are they broken ( or different from 3.0.1) ?
