So the battle before my last (11428), my ally and I were a minute or so from winning when my game crashed (damn Vista). Anyway I had about a half health KT on the field when it ended. It was immobilized. My ally also had a p4 somewhere on the field as well. The game desynced and it we forced my ally's report. So far everything was fine. We wont he game and everything, but when I checked my company screen my KT was gone. Everything else appeared to be in order, just the KT missing. I mentioned this to my ally and he said his p4 was missing as well. I don't mind losing the KT that much. It was only vet 1, but I've had a vet 3 KT before and I wouldn't like this to happen to one of those, should I get one again! So, my question is, why are our tanks MIA?

the tank got immobalized and the crew abandoned it?

[Leafedge]

I have no idea...wouldn't that mean that my veteran crew survived though?  All I know is that my tank was half down, immobilized, and there was no enemy AT on the field so far as I could tell, and it was gone after we desynced.

Maybe my mine just killed the crew inside. That's why it was immobilised :p

[Leafedge]

Very funny, anyway, it would be nice to get a serious answer. I can live with it if I don't, but if a Mod or someone who has experienced this could comment on this that would be great.

Maybe it was immobilized and the game counted it as destroyed?

Or, when the game de-synced it treats all the units as if they have retreated and your KT, being immobilized, couldn't retreat?

I don't know for sure why it was destroyed, all I can give you is my best guess.

When the game ends, an immobilized tank counts as survived. Following that, the AI must have killed the KT as well as the P4 after the desync in your allys game. While that sounds unlikely, it is an explaination.

Another string of events would be that you were on the brink of losing the game, and that after the desync, the game ended and was lost for you, with all units on the field captured. But as you say you won the game, that's not possible too. It must be No.1 then.

Now that I though about it:
Well it's actually possible my Rangers killed it.
I ordered my remaining units on the field seconds befor the desync, and actually ordered my rifles to sticky those P4.
Then I went for the toilet, but stumbled into that frigde on the floor, where I got that icecold, sparkling mineral water that was really delicious after not drinking anything for 2 hours.
Then I headed back, ordered all units on screen to retreat, and switched ventchannel (or did the others?).
As we forced, and I got a valid battle record, maybe the system took mine and I actually killed it.
Just wondering why I didn't get Expierience for that.
Or the rangersquad was just killed in the process, but then it should be missing, like the KT
