Heyo

I got a Replay about a weird pak bug which makes it shoot really fast.

You will see it happen at around 42:00 and 45:00 on the pak in the lower right corner from the orange player.

And my kangaroos can somehow repair themselves more than once, but salan couldnt figure out why, so i must not use it more than once.

Its not a bug, its an exploit.

was it looking like it was about to move and then then stopping? If so hes an abusive mofo trying to cheat some tanks kills!

[LuAn]

Well this tiny bar always appeared over the pak which indicates its setup progress or so but without any extra movement from the pak

[Two]

Yeah he was exploiting

[salan]

as i said, post the replay and battlefile and we'll deal with it.

Replay extra for you in case you didnt see it in the op

ooh...who did it. I catch people doing this all the time actually. I just never say anything cuz then I usually just off map the vet 2 pak that they're using it with and they lose the vet they were trying to gain. or i just forget and go on my way and not really care and do the same thing to them so no one can fuss about anyone exploiting.

If I remember right, the semi-auto ATG bug actually doesn't make the PaK shoot significantly faster as it fires so rapidly already, but I suppose it depends on how well you do it.

[brn4meplz]

if you timing is perfect you get like a .4 second improvement or something, which in a game of chance and rolls can be significant. Theres usually something better to Micro but yeah it's an exploit. The problem is it happens alot. Assign a new target target dies crew packs/unpacks, assign a new target, target leaves field of fire, you hit stop. Either way it looks like an exploit so it's hard to gauge. Of course in a standup fight it's alot more noticeable

I've accidentally done the semi-auto ATG bug on my 57mm before, it was when a Hetzer was running in and out of line of sight.

Of course it wasn't really any faster shooting (in fact it was slower) because I told it to get up and TURN AROUND to retarget the hetzer THEN GET UP AND TURN BACK and target the Panther, but that didn't stop people from saying "hey man nice bug exploit lolololololz i m retarded derp"
